This refreshing, light, and not too sweet sangria is perfect for any occasion and super simple to make. What You’ll Need: (adapted from here) -1 lb strawberries (cut in halves) -2 lemons (thinly sliced, seeds removed) -1 apple; I prefer Honeycrisp (seeds removed, cut in chunks) -4 pack of small (187 ml) bottles in White Zinfandel -1/2 c light rum -4 cups Sprite/Sierra Mist WhatYou’ll Do: Ready for the directions?

After church my parents, sister and her family headed back to our house where we…

Christmastime at Disney World {Getting There & The Hotel}
Disney is magical. Christmastime is magical. Mix them together and it’s almost too much magical-ness. Almost.

This was our 2nd time at Disney World, the first being in November 2012. Read about our first trip here: Getting There & Hollywood Studios Chef Mickeys Magic Kingdom Epcot & Heading Home WHAT’S NEW?
