4 days ago by willowlaneblog Weekends are for walks...made even better when there are leaves to collect in a bucket! I adore this time of year but already I have had two colds and a cough hence why I've been a bit quiet of late. I thought because I work from home now that I would avoid the seasonal bugs that can be picked up so easily in offices...obviously not! Hope you all have a lovely weekend xo
2 weeks ago by willowlaneblog I actually left the house on a Saturday night! I was delighted to attend @terrybradleyart 1st anniversary gallery celebrations last night, drink some bubbles and contemplate getting a tattoo (the event had a pop-up tattoo event!). As some of you may know, Phill and I are big art fans and whilst we've yet to purchase a #TerryBradley piece, I think that will soon change. His latest piece is called 'Rose' and I've fallen for it...not just because my daughter is called Rose of course... Are any of you guys Terry Bradley fans?
3 weeks ago by willowlaneblog We celebrated Halloween a month early this year when we went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom. It was such a fun night and Rose (or should I say Princess Ana) stayed awake for most of it. We met Minnie dressed as a witch, went trick or treating around the park, rode big thunder mountain in the dark, watched the special parade and the Hocus Pocus villain spectacular show. All in all it was awesome...if a bit too crowded! You can see our Halloween night in my latest Orlando vlog (link in bio). Tonight, however, we're
4 weeks ago by willowlaneblog Rose and I had some fun trying to recreate an old family photo of me with my brother. My mum always loved this dress and kept it incase I ever had a daughter! Now Rose fits into it and her hair is about the same length mine is in the photo (though her hair is curlier). She's also wearing my old silver baby bangle #specialmemories #mummydaughter #family
1 month ago by willowlaneblog I spent much of last night ordering photos online...over a 100 if them and most of them were of course from our Orlando trip. I'll hopefully get over to putting an album together soon and framing some of the special memories. This family pic of our meet and greet with Joy and Sadness from Inside Out is one of my faves...I just love that film and these characters in paticular. All my holiday updates are on welcometowillowlane.com and on my Youtube channel if you want to see what all we got up to at the Disney Parks and Universal Studios.
1 month ago by willowlaneblog I could probably count on one hand how often I have baked since Rose came along (she's now two) but, I must say, there is something about autumn that makes me want to get in the kitchen and create. Last weekend, whilst Phill decorated the house for halloween, I baked these raison and nut flapjacks using ingredients I already had in the cupboard. I've been scoffing them ever since! What about you, will you be baking this weekend - if so what?
1 month ago by willowlaneblog I'm working on part 2 of our Orlando/Disney trip...another video and blog post coming up soon. In the meantime, part 1 of our family holiday is on welcometowillowlane.com so go have a watch/read to find out what we got up to. Some of you have asked about my experience travelling with a two year old and taking her to Disney World so I may do a top tips video/blog post based on my own positive experience with Rose. Do let me know if you'd like me to do any other specific content in and around my holiday
2 months ago by willowlaneblog Happy #NationalCoffeeDay folks. I'm sitting enjoying a lovely cup of the good stuff right now and counting down the hours to Strictly (the only show I have religiously watched from series 1). I'll have the first of my Orlando holiday vlogs up on my Youtube channel tomorrow so I hope you keep an eye for it and have a watch :)
2 months ago by willowlaneblog Yesterday's trip to Epcot ended up being one of our favourite days. Not only did Rose get to meet alot of Disney characters but Phill and I got to 'eat around the world' thanks to the Epcot food and wine festival which runs from August to November. We also discovered the tranquil Disney Boardwalk which is a short stroll from Epcot. And happily it wasn't an overly hot day, hurrah!
2 months ago by willowlaneblog One of our favourite places to eat in Orlando is Joe's Crab Shack because of their yummy coconut shrimp and laid back atmosphere. We loved it even more this time round because Rose had so much fun playing in their play park and colouring in with daddy (he did most of the hard work ). Plus we discovered their s'more dessert . Saying all that, I will be glad to get home and back to normal eating!! Eating out all the time is nice to begin with but the novelty wears off after a while. Although Phill would disagree haha.
