Five Loves on Friday!

Hello, sweet friends!  I'm baaaack!  I can't say that I'm thrilled that our vacation is over, but I am delighted to be here in my lit'l nook of the bloggy world sharing with you once again!  I hope this first week of November has been beautiful for you.  Would you like to see some snippets from mine?  Alrighty then, Five Loves time!

1.  Halloween 2015

Weren't my girlies too cute in their costumes?!  Princess dressed as a princess, naturally! ;)  She went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party at Magic Kingdom as Snow White, and back home passed out treats at her grandparents' house as Princess Peach (from Super Mario Brothers).  Little One couldn't get enough of being Nerd Minnie Mouse!  The only change in her costume was adding an extra layer underneath while celebrating here in the chillier Midwest.  

Before heading out for the evening we gathered with family at my parents' place for our traditional Halloween dinner of chili/chili cheese dogs with all the fixings.

They've been hosting family dinner parties with this fun menu for over 30 years now, and we love it!  

After filling up on the yumminess Jas & I took Little One out for some loot.  She ended up collecting close to 7 whopping pounds of candy while trick-or-treating!  We are fully stocked on sweets that is for sure!

2.  Goodbye Halloween ... Hello Christmas!

You know how much I loooove shopping, friends!  An opportunity to spoil those dear to my heart is always a welcome excuse for it!  Thanks to some fantastic deals and free shipping offers I've knocked almost everything off my Christmas shopping list! Here are a few deals you may want to take advantage of too...

Disney Store

Right now Disney Store is offering their spectacular Friends & Family sale!  The code: DISNEYPAL will take 25% off your entire purchase and if you have $75 or more worth of goodies you'd like to put under your tree it'll also ship FREE!  Isn't that word music to your ears? ;)

TARGET

I took advantage of an awesome offer at Target.com this week too!  Want the deets?  The coupon code:  BESTGIFT (valid through 11/7/2015) takes 25% off toys, sports or arts and crafts!  Pair that with their FREE shipping (no minimum purchase required) and you've got quite a deal on your hands!  

Both of these codes will take the discount off of sale prices too which I must admit made my bargain loving heart skip a beat. :)  I can hardly wait to get the gifts I've ordered all wrapped up and tucked beneath the twinkling lights of our tree later this month!

3.  Date Night Delights

When my parents invited our girlies down for the evening Jason suggested we head to Pizza Ranch for dinner.  All he head to say was "pizza and fried chicken" and I was all in!  I must say though, the cherry dessert pizza alone was worth the trip - YUM!  A casual night of yumminess while chatting completely uninterrupted with my Lovey made for a pretty fantastic evening! *happy sigh*

4.  Our  *NEW*  Instagram account!

This week Jason and I started a new IG account for our family Disney YouTube channel, Eat, Sleep, Dis, Repeat!  You can find it here:  Eat, Sleep, Dis, Repeat on Insta!
I'd be over the moon to see your name pop up from that lit'l heart bubble if you'd like to follow along!  Looking forward to sharing plenty of pixie dusted pics with you all there!

*I will also continue sharing on my personal/blog Instagram account:  chattingoverchocolate_brenda.  Would love to connect with you there as well!

5.  MORE Disney Goodness to Come!

In case you may have missed it, we just got back from our favorite place on the planet, Walt Disney World!  This trip was filled with many firsts for my family.  It was our first trip as Disney Vacation Club members (my biggest Disney dream come true)!  My parents joined us, making it our first WDW vacay with three generations.  We celebrated both Little One's birthday and (an early) Halloween at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party! The entire trip was packed with magical memories and I'm really looking forward to sharing them with you all in the weeks and months to come!  If you haven't already, I invite you to subscribe (you'll find all those lovely links below) so you won't miss a single bit of the magic ahead!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends!  It's such a treat to have you here!  Wishing you a lovely upcoming weekend!
