Foolproof flower arranging

Lovely Helleborus from the garden.
 I have playing about with my new acquisition, a little milk crate with six tiny bottles. It really makes arranging flowers so simple, just a single stem in each bottle and hey presto!

Simply Gypsophila.

Do you have a favourite container for arranging flowers in your home, I would love to know about it?

Hoping you all have a fulfilling and fun-filled week, love Linda xx.

Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort

Hình ảnh
It's Halloween Time! Actually it's still the middle of September, but at the Disneyland Resort, Halloween is in full swing, having officially kicked off the season on September 15th. It's always fun to have something new to do at Disneyland and both kids were really excited to be celebrating Halloween already. We didn't quite make rope drop today. The park opened at 8am, with Disneyland opening at 7am for Extra Magic Hours. It was 8:30am when we parked, and following our usual strategy, we started in the park that did not have Extra Magic Hours. DCA has transformed for Halloween! I love the entrance! I'm always happy to see more Nightmare Before Christmas in the parks. And there was a Photopass Photographer at the entrance taking pictures for guests too. Before we start doing rides, I wanted to make sure we do a few of the special Halloween specific things. Cars Land has been totally transformed and looks amazing. The Imagineers certainly are creative in how they ma...

WDW Monday, Magic Kingdom and Finally trying the Beaches and Cream Kitchen Sink - 11/20/17

Hình ảnh
It's our last day of vacation here in Florida. Let's wrap this one up. The day started in the Magic Kingdom. But the lines! Everyone was starting their day here apparently. First ride of the day was the monorail to get over to the park. And to start the day for the parents, we get... Coffee! Being so crowded we planned our day around the rides that swallow a lot of people without having to wait around too long. Rides like Mickey's Philharmagic. And other rides like the Carrousel. Trying to make our way over to the next ride and the pathways were gridlocked. It's difficult to fathom this many people being here at once. Earlier I had grabbed Fastpasses for Splash Mountain, which is one of Ian's favorite rides back home. The logs here are a little different though with everyone sitting side by side plus the addition of lapbars. Ian insisted on sitting in the front. Please don't throw me in that briar patch. Thankfully we made it out of the briar patch unscathed too...

Decorating Easter Eggs

Hình ảnh
Happy Easter! Time to decorate some eggs! It starts with 2 dozen eggs. I set everything up on the front lawn so we can be as messy as we want. Ian waited until Alli got shoes on. They grabbed hands and ran towards where everything was set up. Getting into the spirit with some fun hats. Ian helping out to dye the water. Adding drops of pink. One new thing I wanted to try this year. Adding rice to a cup, adding dye to the rice, and shaking it to make a speckled look. The kids got really into it. Sometimes you can shake it a little too hard I suppose. Along with dye and rice, a few eggs got stickers. She had a really good time dyeing the easter eggs. Alli wanted to be a part of everything. Time to take the eggs out of their dye baths. Ian getting into it too. That's a bunch of eggs! Hope everyone had a great time! Tomorrow the Easter Bunny will come and hide them all!
