Five Loves on Friday + TARGET GIVEAWAY!!



Good morning, friends!  Judging from the chats I had over Instagram with blogging friends as I prepped this post, I'm not the only one who thought this week FLEW by!  It's that time again though.  Ready, set, loves!



1.  NEW Eat, Sleep, Dis, Repeat Video!

For those who may not know, we have a family YouTube channel, Eat, Sleep, Dis, Repeat.  My husband does an incredible job creating videos that capture the magic from our Disney vacations!  This week he began a new series of RETRO Disney World Trip videos!  That's right, we're going back in time to when my girlies were oh so little and their cheeks were oh so chubby!  Prepare yourself for cuteness overload, friends!  I just wanna transport myself back in time to kiss their little baby faces!  My mama heart melts into a puddle every time I watch this!

Since today is the last day of July it's the perfect time to watch this vid from Christmastime 2009!  Happy Christmas in July, everyone!



*If you are reading this post via an email subscription can you watch this video here.

If you enjoyed this video, we'd be tickled pink to have you click through HERE to our channel, give it a thumbs up and subscribe!    That would absolutely make our day!


We also have videos from our most recent 17-Day Walt Disney World Vacation on that channel too.  So, if you're in need of a Disney fix you know where to go! ;) 



2.  New Bike (for Little One) & New Bike Bling (for all)!

Look who else was ready for a bike upgrade this summer!


Now all of us have new wheels, and we each added some fun new accessories too!  Here's what my bike looks like now with a few new sweet touches...



I admit I got the pink glittery koozy and adorable basket partially because they are so cute that they make me smile every. single. time. I look at them!  But, they are pretty handy too!  I mean, you have to stay hydrated, right?  Plus, now we can pack picnics!  I also got Princess a sparkly kooky in her favorite color, while Jason got a much manlier black leather-ish one and a cooler bag that attaches to his bike (aka:  a manly basket ;)).


I am LOVING our family bike rides!  We took our longest one yet last Saturday, 10 miles.  It's so refreshing to get out in the sunshine, enjoy time with those dearest to my heart, and get some exercise all at the same time!



3.  Disney Goodness & Deals

Look at these ADORABLE dresses/tutus I got for Little One to twirl around in at Disney World this fall!  I believe this officially completes the girls' vacation wardrobes! (I keep telling myself that anyway! ;))



All three of these bow-tiful outfits came from Walmart, each priced under $13!  They're so adorable and sparkly!   I can hardly wait to see her to skip through the Parks in them soon!



In keeping with the Disney theme, when Princess and I spotted these fanciful flip flops at a crazy clearance price I couldn't pass them up!  They were on sale for $5.99 then buy one, get one half off!  I paid under $10 for both!  Twinning!


We instantly thought, "Ariel!", when we saw these!  They're great to wear when we're walking around on what do you call 'em?  Oh, feet. ;)



4.  Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award


Michelle of Grammie Time nominated me for a fun award this week!  It's always such a treat to receive a blogger to blogger award, especially from someone as sweet as Michelle!  Be on the lookout for that "Award Acceptance" speech {aka:  answers to the questions I was given} and my nominations next week!



5.  G I V E A W A Y 


In case you missed it, this week my friend Della of Della Devoted is celebrating her first Blogiversary!  In honor of this fun occasion I'm joining with some lovely bloggers to co-host a fabulous giveaway!  Someone is about to win a $60 Target gift card!!  Who wants to go on a Target shopping spree?!!!  Enter away, friends!

  17. The Disney outfits for your daughters are adorable. We're going to go to Disney next spring. It will be my niece's first trip to Disney World and she'll be just about to turn 2 when we go. She's obsessed with Minnie Mouse, so I can't wait to start buying her cute Minnie-themed outfits for the trip!

  18. What a grown up bike! I bet she loved it. Wish I had a bike, but I stick mostly to walking wherever I need to go.

  19. Oh goodness, 17 days in Disney?!!!! Jealous! We leave in a couple of weeks for our second trip. The first trip we stayed at All Star Movies so your video brought back memories. My kiddos were so young that first trip as well! I dressed them every day in some sort of Disney character shirt but this trip they didn't want to.....except for one Minnie shirt that I got for my daughter at Walmart that she said she'd wear. They're getting too old! :( My husband and I still need to get ourselves some bikes! It's been on our to do list forever! Have a great weekend!

  20. I LOVE watching Disney vlogs!! They get me all giddy thinking about when we'll eventually take Elizabeth. So much fun! I need to haul it over to YT and watch a few. Your new basket on the bike is just so cute. It needs a big bouquet of flowers too :) Hope you had a wonderful weekend, sweet friend!!
