By sunshineandholly on February 1, 2019

Morning! I’ve been toying around with starting a local guide section here on my blog – a place where I can share upcoming events and local businesses you guys might want to check out. Atlanta is such an amazing city with so many amazing people doing so many amazing things! So if you share my love of the city, make sure to check back each week for my local guide.

Disney’s Sanaa Restaurant at the Animal Kingdom Lodge

Disney’s Sanaa Restaurant at the Animal Kingdom Lodge

I’m always looking for yummy new foods to try at Disney World each time we go. I love scrolling through Instagram hashtags and checking out Disney food blogs to see what looks yummy. Disney has some amazing food! Before our last trip, I saw an Instagram post about the bread service at the Sanaa Restaurant at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and I knew I had to try it! I’ve always been a big fan of anything that comes with lots of different sauces, so this was right up my alley.

Bread Service

Traditional Naan, Garlic-Ginger Naan, Spiced Naan, Onion Kucha, and Paneer Paratha. Served with the following sauces – Cucumber Riata, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Mango Chutney, Tomato-Date Jam, Tamarind Chutney, Coriander Chuntey, Garlic Pickle, Red Chile Sambal, or Spicy Jalapeño-Lime Pickle. They were all super tasty and everyone in our family had fun trying each one and deciding what they liked best!

Disney Recap – Hollywood Studios and Epcot

By sunshineandholly on January 4, 2019

Ready for a million pictures from Disney? I actually LOVE reading about other people’s Disney trips (looking at you Journey of Parenthood!) so I’m going to share all of my favorite pictures from our recent trip. Up first – our day at Hollywood Studios and our first day at Epcot!

Disney Recap – Hollywood Studios and Epcot

The kids were festive and ready to go!

We loved our Magic Band skins from Magic Your Band! We got them for free for booking our vacation through DVCreqests.com. It was a great experience booking through them and we’ll totally use them again in the future!

Chateau Elan Wine Tasting and Tour

By sunshineandholly on November 14, 2018

For our 11th anniversary, we did a fun (and tasty) wine tour at the Chateau Elan Winery and Resort in Braselton, Georgia.

We had a blast and love all the wines we tried! Want to check it out yourself? Tours are offered at the winery Tuesday through Sunday for just $5.00 a person, and add on an additional wine tasting of 5-7 wines for $25 per person. There are 3 different flights to choose from – the Southern Fox, the American, and the Old World. They also offer the “Château Grandeur” for $63 a person that includes the tour and chef selected cheeses and seasonal snacks. We saw another group enjoying the cheese platter and wished we had splurged for that because it looked delish!

The best part of the wine tasting is that you can take your time and enjoy the wine at your own pace. Once you’ve paid for the tasting at the front of the winery, you’ll receive your own tasting menu. You’ll take this up to the bar and choose which wine you’d like to try first. After the bartender pours your glass, you can walk around the winery and explore. Then just head back to the bar when you’re ready for your next wine!

3 Reasons to Visit Jaemor Farms’ Pumpkin Patch

By sunshineandholly on October 26, 2018

If you don’t take pictures of your family in a pumpkin patch each fall, are you even a mom?! Seriously though – it seems like it’s a requirement these days. We’ve visited a bunch of different pumpkin patches over the years, but my favorites are outside of the city. For me, a sprawling farm of pumpkin fields and a quaint little country store with freshly picked mountain apples, country jams, and homemade apple-cider donuts give me more “fall-feels” than the pumpkin patches that pop up in parking lots here in Atlanta. This year, we visited Jaemor Farms‘ patch and were able to get some really awesome obligatory pumpkin patch pictures, a decently priced pumpkin, and some other tasty treats!

Here are 3 reasons to visit Jaemor Farms’ pumpkin patch:

1. It’s free!

There’s no entry fee for the pumpkin patch at Jaemor. Feel free to roam around the fields at your leisure, taking all of those obligatory family pictures. The pumpkins aren’t super expensive, and the prices vary by size. You can also skip the field altogether and choose a pumpkin from their farm market store.
