Roasted Fennel and Onion - Easy Side Dish | sunshineandholly.com | spring recipe | quick and easy side dish | one pan dish | sheet pan dinner

Fennel is one of those foods that people either love or hate. I have a hard time coming up with foods that I DON’T like, so, (surprise, surprise) I happen to love fennel! It’s delicious served raw, sliced thin and tossed in a salad. But my favorite way to eat fennel is roasted with a Vidalia onion and a tiny bit of garlic salt. I’d say this is one of my top 5 favorite vegetable side-dishes. (Mashed potatoes will always hold the number one spot in my heart!)

Bibbidi bobbidi boo! May all your dreams and wishes come true!

I was able to make one of my dreams come true on our last trip to Disney. I’ve been dying to take Maddie to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique basically since I found out I was pregnant with a girl. (Honestly, if adults could do it, I totally would! #disneydork)

If you’re looking for something special to do with your little princess while you’re at Disney, BBB is something you should consider! It’s a super interactive experience, complete with your very own private “Fairy Godmother in training,” who will turn your little girl into the princess of her dreams. They have packages starting at $64 that include a hair style, pixie dust, make-up, and nail polish. You also get a super cute BBB bag, a sash, AND you get to keep all the make-up and the nail polish! We brought our own princess dress from home to save money, but the higher priced packages include dresses, crowns, and shoes.

5 Favorite Moments from Our Disney Trip

By on March 9, 2018

Our trip to Disney last week was, as always, absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, there was Disney magic around every corner. And even though the kids were considerably more difficult this time, it was still a great trip.

There were a few extra special moments that will be memories I will cherish forever! Here are my 5 favorite moments from our Disney trip:

1. Surprising the Kids

We kept the trip a secret for months and months. Last time we went, Graham knew ahead of time and asked a million times a day when we were going. So this time, we decided to just not tell them. Plus it was so FUN seeing their reactions when we told them! (Check out the video below!) Graham can barely contain his excitement and Maddie is almost in tears she’s so excited! And how funny is it that she was so worried about it still being “night-night” time? Lol! It was 5:30am when we woke them up to tell them, so she was still pretty sleepy. We wanted to get an early start on the road trip!
