Disney Daze: A Trip through the Magic Kingdom

For me the Magic Kingdom and Epcot tie as my favorite parks, but for a lot of people MK is in first place without a doubt. And you can't blame them. With five whimsical lands, it's hard to not get swept up in all the magic. I mean even before you reach the castle you're already showered in pixie dust and in awe at the characters all around you.

Here's a look at the layout:

Disney Daze: England? Is that you?

Before you point it out, yes I do realize that two of these pictures are in France, but most of it's in England so just play along.

Now back to what's really on our mind. It's finally the weekend!!!!!! Whether you're spending this weekend crafting, partying, or studying (sadly I'm partaking in the latter), I hope you find a way to make the weekend fun.

Here's a look at the layouts:

Weekend Update: BIRTHDAY BASH

Disclaimer: I should've posted this about a month ago, but sometimes life gets in the way. Also the Weekend Update is coming on a Thursday. This is just how life is working right now y'all.

I should really try staying a whole weekend in Baton Rouge for once. Oh wait, that's what I'm trying out right now. I'll let y'all know how this goes. So far it includes making myself Tex Mex Migas (I've linked the recipe please try it out they are DIVINE), and cleaning my apartment. Nothing too crazy, but I think that's what I need after adventuring all over the place for the past month. I'm serious y'all, I looked back in my calendar and I haven't spent a weekend in BR in over a month! I swear I'm trying to love it. It's not my fault NOLA keeps calling my name.

Anyway, back to my point, let's look back at Birthday Weekend. Yes the italics are necessary, it's a fancy event, duh.

Disney Daze: Morocco Lovin'

Y'all I could've spent the entire Disney vacation just roaming around the Moroccan pavilion at Epcot. I'm dead serious. It's amazing how much effort goes in to getting the details of each place just right. Morocco was breathtaking to say the least. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself.

Here's the layout:

Back to Life, Back to Reality

It's time to go back to school. After working, and adventuring, and eating all kinds of food, it's time to get back to the real life of 7:30 alarms and as many cups of coffee as humanly possible. Oh who am I kidding, the unlimited coffee was part of the break too.

For me syllabus week was last week, and after taking the Monday off for MLK Day, we are finally in full swing here at LSU.

To make it a little easier for you all I've compiled some links for you to devour. Feel free to spread them throughout the week or just take 'em all in at once. It's your life, live it.

Disney Daze: Hey There Epcot

If I could use the wave emoji here I would. Everyone say 'Hey Epcot!'

Okay, good. Now that you've got it out of your system, let's dive into the album.

Weekend Update: How to Avoid Any Lingering Responsibilities

Before you do anything else go ahead and throw yourself a little party. You made it through Monday, and that's a cause for celebration.

See it's my celebration dance!

I might be over exaggerating, but Monday is. the. worst. It's especially the worst when you have the beginning of the semester (did I mention that starts Wednesday) staring you directly in the eyes.

Let's just say that I'm coping with the start of the semester very well. And by that I mean I threw all of my money at a weekend getaway to New Orleans and never looked back.

Here's a look:

Disney Daze: Let's Resort Hop

Hello Disney Daze, my how I've missed you. After finally having a week where I'm both off of work and school AT THE SAME TIME I was finally able to tap into my creative resources and get to crafting. The result is an almost COMPLETED (yes COMPLETED) album. 

That's right ladies and gents I may have finished an album with less than a year's effort. Ain't it crazy? 

So let's look at the layouts shall we?

Okay before you get confused keep in mind that picture one is the front of the pockets and picture two is the back. Usually I photograph how it would look laying next to each other but there was a fluke so just bare with me. 

Once we arrived in Orlando we had time to kill and no park ticket to use so naturally we resort hopped. The best thing about resort hopping is you can ride the monorail and still experience some of the magic without ever having to pay to enter the park. Although if you drove 12+ hours just for resort hopping then you seriously need to reevaluate. 

Hello 2016 You Are Beautiful

My goodness I love New Years. The idea of a clean slate sounds really really nice. Everyone has an excuse to start fresh and new again, and we're all filled with hope at the promise of a brand spankin' new year.

For the first time ever I'm actually going to make some resolutions. I would expect nothing less for the beautiful year that is 2016. Nothing too crazy, but enough to keep me motivated:
