This is the most comfortable dress, perhaps ever. It’s thin in the best way - doesn’t feel cheap, but so light and cool. I will be living in this dress this summer! Plus, it has plenty of room for a growing bump, even though it’s not maternity. I’m wearing my true size (XL) so that Wyndsor has plenty of room to grow these next 18ish weeks. However, if you’re not pregnant, I would suggest sizing down. It comes in a bunch of fun colors, and it has pockets! Enough said. Shop here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/c5a6ba2e-061e-4bb3-bbea-419d8608a1bc/5905EC18-A410-40B5-9C41-CA16D6701BAC.JPG Blog - Spring Dress Haul - Make it stand out This green color is so fun for spring! But, if bright green isn’t your jam, there are several other, more neutral, options. This dress is not maternity, but is extremely bump friendly. Perfect for church, work, brunch…you name it. It’s also a super versatile option. I went for a more casual vibe by pairing it with sneakers, but it would be super cute with a fun pair of wedges for a slightly elevated look. Wearing my true size (XL), and I can’t forget to mention...this one has pockets too! Score! Shop here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/3f169040-d9c9-4ad1-8a29-021042b3df5b/IMG_8009.jpg Blog - Spring Dress Haul - Make it stand out This little dress is perfect for all those scorching hot days in our near future. Like the first dress, it’s a super light material - perfect for the summer months! It’s also very bump friendly, although not maternity. Plus it has, you guessed it, pockets! I’m wearing my true size (XL), and there is plenty of room for my growing bump. This dress is so comfortable and easy to wear. You’ll definitely be seeing this one on repeat. Shop here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/a56fa096-c6e3-4dcf-9354-9d6f2e5a1082/IMG_8029.jpg Blog - Spring Dress Haul I had my eye on this dress for weeks before I finally broke down and bought it. I loved it from the minute I laid eyes on it. It screams “SPRING!”, but it’s also unique in that it has a dark background. I did go up a size (to an XXL) to make sure I had some room to grow! I’ll also mention, that this is a petite (it’s literally the last one they had in the store). So, it hits a bit more like a midi dress on me. For reference, I’m 5’6”. Also…it has pockets!! Shop here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/4f552b43-ce1c-4246-97bf-231cf7b5bcd9/IMG_8033.jpg Blog - Spring Dress Haul You can’t do summer in the south without a white eyelet dress, y’all! This dress is so comfy. The waist is super stretchy! It would be perfect for Mother’s Day, church this summer, a summer wedding, etc. You could also absolutely dress it down with some cute sneakers. I sized up to an XXL for the bump, but I would say this dress runs true to size. And, in case you’re wondering…yes, this one has pockets too. Shop here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/b817392b-2c88-4540-8b2d-bfe16521e7dd/IMG_8041.jpg Blog - Spring Dress Haul Can we talk about this dress?! It is absolutely stunning. It also comes in a beautiful bright green color if you’re loving green as much as I am currently! I plan on wearing this dress for Mother’s Day and at least one summer wedding. It’s so beautiful, and the material feels so expensive. The sleeves are my favorite part! I sized up to an XXL for the bump, but I’d recommend sticking with your true size if you’re not currently pregnant. I definitely did not expect this dress to have pockets, but guess what? It does!! Shop here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/3ec798e8-d8d4-411d-b4ab-9836e3274913/IMG_8048.jpg Blog - Spring Dress Haul Even if it is almost summer, I still love a little black dress. This one does come in a handful of cute patterns though. This dress is perfect to throw on and run out the door. I can’t wait to pair it with sneakers. I think it will be such a cute, sporty vibe. It would also be darling with wedges for a slightly dressier look. It does have pockets…apparently every dress does now? I’m here for it! Shop here.

So, my parents sent us away for the night, to the Berry Hill Resort in South Boston, VA. The trip was a great distraction, and also gave us a chance to reflect on all we had walked through in the previous months. We celebrated Archie, with a champagne toast at midnight to ring in his “birthday”. This a tradition we plan to do each and every year to remember and honor our son. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/6e4a1d00-8b93-4ed3-bfc5-57ab57c970e3/IMG_2116.jpeg Blog - A Defining Year… - Make it stand out We spent Thanksgiving in Carolina Beach, NC, with my family. It was such a relaxing trip, complete with lots of yummy food, tons of coffee on the balcony, and Koko Marie’s very first time on the beach. We also took our Christmas card pictures while we were there, and I love the way they turned out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/1d264be7-3f81-4dbc-becc-3438b3060081/IMG_5137.jpeg Blog - A Defining Year… - Make it stand out Christmas is one of my very favorite times of the year, and I went all out this year. I love the soft glow of Christmas lights, and have so enjoyed having our house decorated for the holidays. I’m a firm believer in leaving your Christmas decor up until after New Year’s. So, we are still enjoying all things Christmas, at least for the rest of this week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/cf6118d9-4d81-41db-ad64-7ad0689c896d/8D6DA8AE-8468-4240-ABC9-E1D755859A7B.jpeg Blog - A Defining Year… - Make it stand out So, what will I take away from this year? Primarily, Archie. While he will not physically enter into 2024 with us, we are forever changed by his existence. His memory and the love we have for him will be carried with us. Always. While I would not relive this year for any amount of money, I am grateful for Archie and the months we had with him. I am also grateful for the experiences and relationships that made 2023…well, less awful. No year is perfect, and there will always be ups and downs as life progresses, but I look forward to a new year, a fresh start, and the opportunity to continue healing and growing. I hope you’ve had the most magical holiday season, and I look forward to chatting with you in the new year! Happy New Year! -D https://theblondegem.com/blog/50-must-watch-christmas-movies monthly 0.5 2024-01-04 https://theblondegem.com/blog/gift-guide-for-the-stay-at-home-mom monthly 0.5 2023-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/1702588285690-RJDTHCMSMD7JBN744MOM/plan.jpg Blog -

My bestie got this for us, and told us to open it whenever we were ready. This box included the most thoughtful items, including this “hug in a mug” coffee mug, which I use ALL the time, a candle, a chakra/lava bead bracelet and accompanying essential oil blend and a key chain of the pregnancy loss awareness ribbon. We have used every single one of these items, and each time I see any one of them, I think of Archie, and I smile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/e058fa5e-27cf-4884-a41d-f15255d0cf05/IMG_0547.jpg Blog - TFMR: GIFTS - Make it stand out Another Etsy find, this precious, customized globe was a gift from my best friend. I absolutely love it. We decided to put it in our bedroom, and every time I walk by I think of my sweet boy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/f7868245-55ba-48ab-b480-edf4bf8782ec/67B9C70F-B8D4-48EA-B7F6-076100B4ED1B.jpg Blog - TFMR: GIFTS - Make it stand out No surprises here, another Etsy find. Like I said, Etsy is where it’s at! They offer so many customizable options, and there is just nothing sweeter than a customized gift. A sweet friend I haven’t seen in years heard about our loss through Instagram and sent me this beautiful necklace with Archie’s name on it. I treasure this piece so much, and have so enjoyed wearing it - carrying a little reminder of Archie with me everywhere I go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/99b07f91-acb0-4f51-8512-ed5fd3562145/IMG_0552.jpg Blog - TFMR: GIFTS - Make it stand out My best friend also gave both Vinnie and I one of these customized key chains with Archie’s name and birthstone on them. We each have one on our keys, and it is such a precious reminder of our angel baby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/fcb3abd9-9071-41f7-92c1-83fc4d08729d/IMG_0550.jpeg Blog - TFMR: GIFTS - Make it stand out One of my dear friends from college sent us this “Remembrance” Willow Tree Angel. I have collected these angels for years, so this was an absolutely perfect gift. We have this angel sitting on the window sill above our kitchen sink. It is so precious to us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/78f63d1d-2247-41f4-88cb-a83bca7d340c/IMG_0553.jpg Blog - TFMR: GIFTS - Make it stand out One of our dearest friends sent this devotional (available on Amazon) that I mentioned in my last post. This devotional was the bridge I needed to bring me back to my relationship with the Lord. When I couldn’t pray and couldn’t read my Bible, I read this. I would highly recommend this devotional to any woman dealing with a pregnancy loss. Often times, it seems there are no words to adequately convey your condolences. When that is the case, sending something is a great way to show you care. It has nothing to do with the monetary value of the gift. As I mentioned, a simple card with a nice poem or a comforting Bible verse is more than enough. A customized or loss-specific gift is another precious gesture. When you are going through the agony that is loss and grief, you just need to know that you are loved, cared for and supported. Texts and phone calls are very sweet, but if you’d like to do something tangible, I hope this blog post provides some insight and inspiration - from a Mom, grieving the loss of her son. https://theblondegem.com/blog/tfmr-fighting-with-god monthly 0.5 2023-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/1f6c5c61-d8b1-4999-976a-11504a4f87b2/IMG_9663.jpg Blog - TFMR: Fighting With God - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/tfmr-a-letter-to-my-son-in-heaven monthly 0.5 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/698dfb13-82b0-49e1-b1f4-1948ae6ff48d/IMG_9847.jpeg Blog - TFMR: A Letter To My Son In Heaven - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/tfmr-precious-remains monthly 0.5 2023-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/6b1d55e5-1bb2-4141-a665-0a39828746aa/IMG_9429.jpeg Blog - TFMR: Precious Remains - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/a689eee9-ccc4-4824-880e-b17b454e3dcd/IMG_9431.jpeg Blog - TFMR: Precious Remains - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/tfmr-the-aftermath monthly 0.5 2023-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/df3966cf-6bc5-496c-b173-8f55d1e3632f/IMG_8339.jpg Blog - TFMR: The Aftermath - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/30a6c6ac-69ec-42c6-a648-b0975785e99d/IMG_8380.jpg Blog - TFMR: The Aftermath - Make it stand out Our adorable Airbnb in Hilton Head, SC https://theblondegem.com/blog/tfmr-my-dampe monthly 0.5 2023-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/92a76b31-747c-46d7-a578-fe4f038e3ec9/IMG_8906.jpeg Blog - TFMR: My D&E - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/tfmr-no-good-option monthly 0.5 2023-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/9ef4a008-bbb1-49d4-8411-7a91e7a677bd/07D4EE01-F9B5-4FD2-960B-A7E702FEC220.jpg Blog - TFMR: No Good Option - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/tfmr-an-impossible-choice monthly 0.5 2023-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/9b42680e-02be-4cdc-b1ad-f3bbb2db5bfb/484D9AD3-D58B-489C-9106-ABF9B4742D55.jpg Blog - TFMR: An Impossible Choice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/what-now monthly 0.5 2023-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/64d8d85a-9744-40f6-a551-3c6a49a45550/69921388297__1BF43707-D7C6-4392-B849-730FFFEED64C.jpg Blog - TFMR: What now? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/vs4hwbeya5w9o50h3t33z6jj1i0q2p monthly 0.5 2023-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/61e6e977-efb2-49d1-9cae-370144f66993/IMG_5730.jpg Blog - TFMR: Anatomy Scan From Hell - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/a-day-at-universal-studios monthly 0.5 2023-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/f0394891-c54f-4f0b-96e1-6541c0f88794/IMG_4035+2.jpg Blog - A Day At Universal Studios - Make it stand out We of course had to get a Butterbeer, though next time I’ll probably just get an actual beer. Butterbeer is a little too sweet for me, but you have to try it at least once. I’ve now tried it twice. So, I think I’m good. We did a little window shopping before our first ride of the day: Escape from Gringotts. So much more fun this time because again, I actually knew what was going on. All of the Harry Potter rides are hard to beat in my opinion, and this one is no exception. We placed a mobile order at Mel’s Diner and enjoyed cheeseburgers and fries for lunch before taking the Hogwarts Express to the other side of the park (make sure your ticket includes access to both sides of the park if you want to do this). The Hogwarts Express was a very neat experience! It was my first time riding it - 10/10 recommend. Once we arrived in Hogsmeade, we popped next door to Jurassic World, where we rode Skull Island: Reign of Kong and Velocicoaster. You can definitely skip Skull Island, in my opinion. I’ve ridden it twice now, and I think I’m set for life. Velocicoaster on the other hand… This is my favorite ride in the entire world. I genuinely wish I could have the experience of riding it once a week. I seriously feel like it resets my body - physically and mentally. It is the wildest, fastest roller coaster I have ever been on, and I cannot say enough good things about it. (Sit in the back if you can!) After Velocicoaster, we headed back to Hogsmeade, where we grabbed a couple of ciders (with a shot of firewhisky) before getting in line for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. This ride is another of my favorites. I don’t even mind waiting in line for this one because you’re walking through Hogwarts and getting to see spaces like Dumbledore’s office along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/1106bf49-fa5c-4a4d-8c9b-1fa25bd40a28/IMG_4067.JPG Blog - A Day At Universal Studios - Make it stand out Finally we rode Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. I LOVE this ride y’all. It’s definitely my second favorite ride at Universal, after Velocicoaster, of course. Just as we were getting off the ride we got to see a beautiful lights and firework show at Hogwarts. It was the perfect ending to our day. Well, almost the ending…we did a little shopping before leaving the park. You know, had to get the basics: a wand, a mug, a Christmas ornament. We decided to buy our souvenirs at the end of the day in order to avoid the whole locker situation/carrying around a bunch of bags all day. The only exception being Velocicoaster…you literally can’t take anything with you on it. So, we did have to stash our small bags in a locker during that. Overall, I think spending one day at Universal was perfect. We got to do everything we wanted to do. -D https://theblondegem.com/blog/magic-kingdom-day-2 monthly 0.5 2023-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/5f9def75-761f-4b3c-b7dc-88a0d77603f4/60A402E3-A664-46D0-8710-5D601A109B9A.jpg Blog - Magic Kingdom Day 2 - Make it stand out I thought this would be such a sweet memory of our amazing trip! Up next, photos at the castle. Did you even go to Magic Kingdom if you don’t have pictures with the castle? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/f0cc13da-49f3-4fb4-911e-8ebb67467e50/IMG_3941.jpg Blog - Magic Kingdom Day 2 - Make it stand out Our first day at Magic Kingdom, we caught the 12 pm parade, but were several rows of people back. So, one of our priorities for our second day was being front row for the 3 pm parade. (The parade is daily, at 12 & 3 pm.) We headed to Frontierland, and grabbed a spot on the ground right at the rope. They start roping off the street about an hour before the parade. You can still cross/access the main road up until the parade, but, thanks to the ropes, you know exactly where the front row starts on either side. We were in place by about 2:15. The forty-five minute wait ended up being TOTALLY worth it. The parade was spectacular! After the parade we headed to Splash Mountain for our last ride on the “old version”. Shortly after our trip Splash Mountain closed. Rumor has it they will be updating it to a “Princess and the Frog” theme, set to reopen in 2024. After Splash Mountain we grabbed a snack in Frontierland. Mini corn dogs for me, and jalapeño poppers for Megan. The poppers were DIVINE. Megan has been raving about them ever since. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/74dc2e30-96b0-4d60-af81-c96ce30a571b/IMG_3957.JPG Blog - Magic Kingdom Day 2 - Make it stand out We also tried the cream cheese pretzel in Tomorrowland - not impressed. I had seen these all over TikTok. So, maybe my expectations were too high, but I probably wouldn’t get one of these again. As I mentioned, we got to ride some of our favorite rides a second time. These included Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain (obviously), The Haunted Mansion, Ariel’s Undersea Adventure and Pirates of the Caribbean. We also got to ride several rides we missed on our first Magic Kingdom day, including: Mad Tea Party, Tomorrowland Speedway (Megan made me drive - not a fan) and the PeopleMover (one of our favorites). I would highly suggest riding the PeopleMover at night. It’s SO much prettier. We were able to catch the fireworks again, this time from behind the castle. Both views are cool, but I think I prefer facing the castle. The fireworks finished just in time for our dinner reservation at Be Our Guest…y’all…I’m still coming down from this experience. Having dinner in Belle’s castle was truly one of the most magical experiences, and a highlight of the trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/26545925-2a94-4116-92fa-612c692a7761/90541A64-4F52-4EAD-B600-EF4A1433A66F.jpg Blog - Magic Kingdom Day 2 - Make it stand out The food was amazing (best mashed potatoes of my life!), the ballroom, where we had dinner, was straight out of the movie and the Beast even made an appearance (two actually) while we were there. This was an experience that I will never forget, and one that everyone needs to have at least once. Very important: make reservations the second you can. They go FAST. We made this reservation around 60 days before our trip (as soon as we were able). We had a wonderful, relaxing second day at Magic Kingdom. This was also our last day at any of the Disney parks, and it was the perfect ending the Disney portion of our trip. -D https://theblondegem.com/blog/drinking-around-the-world-at-epcot monthly 0.5 2023-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/6f4e3b1e-1448-439d-ab9d-9051249f534c/IMG_3797.JPG Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/adb32c21-8f06-4bc3-a587-e4a48f99e68a/IMG_3894.jpg Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/35ddb8ae-905c-4299-a5db-3634ca7d6c4d/IMG_EA63D7D3DA6D-1.jpg Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/7a07fb96-fbb2-417f-b3d4-68691bbe08fb/IMG_3887.JPG Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/bb51c8cd-5a10-4b31-a305-de34936be3bf/IMG_3874.JPG Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/a2a8a23d-0f68-4862-b71b-ecb5d3b25452/IMG_3866.jpg Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/93650cfa-cd45-4ada-bfd9-142ac5492ae0/IMG_3859.JPG Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/65d305c3-6452-493f-8fa7-c2d38525021d/IMG_3834.JPG Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/3f172311-0e53-4f30-9412-0a4ee521e935/IMG_3806.JPG Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/04e39a79-5467-48b4-bd16-98670d87be45/IMG_3762.JPG Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Norway: Frozen Viking Coffee Where: Kringla Bakeri Og Cafe Ingredients: Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur, Kamora Coffee Liqueur Price: $14.50 *This is the one drink we split, and I was glad.

A few tips: Give yourself PLENTY of time (like 7+ hours, or the majority of your day) - chugging drink after drink is not ideal. You want to have time to enjoy them. Be prepared for overpriced drinks - there is the occasional drink that’s less than $10, but most are closer to $15 or $20. START IN CANADA - you heard it here first. Wear “drinking around the world” shirts or gear - it’s fun to bump into other people doing the same thing, plus it’s just fun to be on theme. Document the drinks/countries as you go - this could be done with a note in your phone, or in my case, I ordered a cute “passport” from Etsy. This helped so much with keeping track of what we had already accomplished (consumed)/what we had left to do (consume). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/f9e16384-8340-4272-b3b2-40f064680128/IMG_3902.JPG Blog - Drinking Around The World At Epcot - Make it stand out Cheers friends!! -D https://theblondegem.com/blog/a-day-at-epcot monthly 0.5 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/7ffa9b8e-e6fa-43cc-81f2-a44debcede42/EEA444D0-2B8C-4DD5-BEA2-44F2BCE809F9.jpg Blog - A Day At Epcot - Make it stand out Outfit details: ears, shirt & passport - Etsy, shorts - Amazon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/f148a625-8020-42bd-a4cc-e7b480bd5de7/IMG_3722.JPG Blog - A Day At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/38947d86-659f-4cf4-80f5-a05324b3af77/CF16C66E-84D2-4AB8-BF65-DAD4BB95FC86.jpg Blog - A Day At Epcot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://theblondegem.com/blog/a-day-at-magic-kingdom monthly 0.5 2023-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/1d6259eb-7ef7-4280-8050-26d8caf08636/IMG_3580.JPG Blog - A Day At Magic Kingdom - Make it stand out Outfit details: ears & shirt - Etsy, skort & shoes - Amazon We decided Magic Kingdom deserved two days this trip, which was honestly such a game changer. Despite this day being the busiest of the trip, we didn’t feel rushed to hit every single ride or try every single snack because we knew we would be back for a second day later in the week. We arrived at the park around 10 am. We knew we needed to get an earlier start than the past couple of days, and to say our timing was perfect would be an understatement. Moments after we arrived, we got to watch the sweetest proposal in the exact spot I’m standing in the picture below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/8e99eb63-3bda-4b4d-b826-9ed5593a062f/IMG_3529.jpg Blog - A Day At Magic Kingdom - Make it stand out We also made a couple of wishes at the wishing well near by. I started the day with a warm cinnamon roll from Gaston’s Tavern. I had seen these GIANT cinnamon rolls all over TikTok. So, naturally I had to get one (and document it on TikTok). It was seriously the size of my face and absolutely delicious. After breakfast we decided to go ahead and get one of the longest waits out of the way - Peter Pan’s Flight. It’s wild how busy this ride always is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/7e26ca16-04b1-4218-ae12-71f6b4683827/IMG_3483.JPG Blog - A Day At Magic Kingdom - Make it stand out I do totally get the hype though. This ride is so, again…magical. It’s also unlike any other ride I’ve ever ridden, which always scores brownie points with me. Now…this next monumental event in my life, requires a little backstory. I went to Disney for the first time when I was 14 years old. So, I never experienced Disney as a child. As an adult, I had never done any of the meet and greets, not to mention last time we were in Disney they weren’t even doing them due to COVID. So, when I realized that I could meet my favorite princess, Cinderella, this time…let’s just say I did not act 32 years old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/3102e050-bef5-4521-9297-f642cc70559b/3D61163E-0FAE-4684-9391-167194A78FA0.JPG Blog - A Day At Magic Kingdom - Make it stand out I had no idea what to expect, but I was SO impressed with how in character she was. She was also SO kind. I’ve never identified with my 5-year-old self more. We also got to meet Elena, who was the guest princess hanging with Cinderella that day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/9556c536-ba7b-403e-b750-57a1328f3c9c/IMG_3558.JPG Blog - A Day At Magic Kingdom - Make it stand out She was also super sweet. After what was truly a religious experience, we caught a few minutes of the 12 pm parade, before riding It’s a Small World. I know people have strong opinions on this ride, including Megan. She hates it and thinks it’s so creepy. But, I was able to persuade her to ride it with me anyway. I actually really love it! I have read that the dolls stay on all night, even after the music and lights are turned off though…Now THAT is CREEPY. For lunch, we had a reservation at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, Megan’s favorite. However, we were extremely disappointed to find out that Sonny Eclipse is no longer there. The food is still good, but it’s just not the same without Sonny. After lunch we rode Space Mountain, one of our very favorite rides. It never disappoints. Then we headed over to the Laugh Floor for the Monsters, Inc. show. Megan LOVES Mike Wazowski, and he is surprisingly difficult to come across in the Disney World parks. Lots of Sulley, without Mike. Thankfully, we discovered this cute little show, which is hosted by Mike. Word to the wise, quite a few audience members are called out and put on the big screen during the show…I was regretfully one of them. No, seriously…I was traumatized, but Megan got a good laugh and a video…which I will not be sharing here. Sorry! After the show, (and once I had recovered), we rode Ariel’s Undersea Adventure. I love this ride so much. It’s so cute! Now, by this point in the day we wanted a cocktail. However, as you may or may not know, alcohol is very difficult to come by in Magic Kingdom. In fact, you’ll need a reservation. Thankfully I was able to get a last minute reservation for us at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant. We had the best waitress, y’all. She truly understood the assignment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/a9094d29-68c0-4e77-812b-920409ba2f45/IMG_3607.JPG Blog - A Day At Magic Kingdom - Make it stand out We tried the Canella Bellini Sparkling Peach Cocktail and the Peroni before splitting the Limoncello Sidecar, which we took as a shot, per our waitress’ recommendation since the restaurant doesn’t serve shots. She also recommended taking the monorail over to the Grand Floridian, or one of the nearby resorts with a bar. We didn’t end up doing this, but I’m keeping the idea in my back pocket for a future trip. After our little “afternooncap”, we grabbed a couple of churros at the Frontierland Churro Cart. These were the best churros I had during our trip. They were nice and soft. After our snack we headed to Pirates of Caribbean. We both love this ride. Megan especially loves the way it smells. Anyone else out there? Up next, Megan wanted to ride the Jungle Cruise since she had never ridden it before. But, per usual…the wait was insanely long. So, while we waited for our time we decided to check out the nearby Enchanted Tiki Room. This was a truly terrifying experience. The entire show consists of singing birds descending from the ceiling and creepy faces appearing in the walls. We were truly in awe of just how terrible the Enchanted Tiki Room was. You heard it here. NOT worth your time. When we finally did get to ride the Jungle Cruise, Megan agreed that it’s really a onetime experience….we don’t get the hype, but people love this ride. By the time the Jungle Cruise was over, it was getting dark out. So, we headed for The Haunted Mansion. We purposely waited until after dark so it would be extra creepy. I’ve never seen such long lines for this ride…even the lighting lane was long. Totally worth it though. I love The Haunted Mansion. Since we didn’t technically eat dinner, we were a little hungry after The Haunted Mansion. So, we grabbed some popcorn and Mickey pretzels at Maurice’s Amazing Popping Machine, near Gaston’s Tavern. Now…this is important…fireworks… It’s no secret that the fireworks show at Magic Kingdom is spectacular. I just had no idea what a big deal it really is. If you want to get a spot near the castle, you’re going to need to be in place by 7 pm (the fireworks started at 8:15 when we were there). Another consideration is what you plan to do after the fireworks. I would always suggest being as close to the outside of the crowd as possible, unless you don’t mind staying put for a hot second after the fireworks. We planned to leave the park after the fireworks. So, we went to the “back”. Not the very back (people were literally packed like sardines all the way to Town Square). We didn’t want to be too far back to enjoy the show. So, we set up camp about midway down Main Street. With the exception of one little boy on his dad’s shoulders, we had a really good view. Note to my future self: no one behind you can see if you put your child on your shoulders. The show was still outstanding though! Definitely worth sticking around for. And, that concludes our first day at Magic Kingdom. Next up: Epcot! -D https://theblondegem.com/blog/a-day-at-animal-kingdom monthly 0.5 2023-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/8f1b0430-03c4-4225-adc2-3ad285a669fe/IMG_3341.JPG Blog - A Day At Animal Kingdom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/8283d6f1-b71f-44c0-80af-5fdd995cc4ce/IMG_3360.JPG Blog - A Day At Animal Kingdom - Make it stand out Outfit details: ears - Etsy, shirt - old from Target, skirt - Amazon (size up) Our goal throughout this trip was to do as little backtracking as possible, for the sake of our feet. This is harder than you might think, unfortunately. But, nonetheless, with this goal in mind, we started our day at the front of the park in Dinoland. We grabbed a couple of dinosaur-themed cocktails at the Restaurantosaurus Lounge, and then headed over to our first ride of the day - Dinosaur. Yes, that is the actual name of the ride. I confirmed. Maybe it needs a more unique name, but this ride is very underrated in my opinion. It’s lots of fun, and a little scary at times. Highly recommend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/f0693fed-a056-485a-bcb0-f6be9c180763/IMG_3400.JPG Blog - A Day At Animal Kingdom - Make it stand out Since we got a later start to the day, it was time for our lunch reservation at Tiffins by the time we finished up in Dinoland. We had heard that Tiffins (located on Discovery Island) was THE place to eat at AK, and I have to agree. It was delicious! A little pricey, but very worth it. We split the bread service for an appetizer, plus a red and white wine flight and we both got Shrimp & Grits. This restaurant definitely has more of a dinner vibe, which we didn’t know. However, it was nice and quiet at lunchtime, which was nice. After lunch, we did a little backtracking over to Asia for Expedition Everest. This ride was more fun than I remembered, and I remembered it being pretty fun. Definitely a must-ride if you like roller coasters. Warning: it does go backwards for part of the time, if this is something that bothers you. Up next, we headed across the park to Pandora. We did make a quick stop at the flamingos, of course. If you didn’t know…I LOVE flamingos! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/d321159c-81d7-4e64-b289-53ad1eb6ff12/IMG_3423.JPG Blog - A Day At Animal Kingdom - Make it stand out Now this part is important…pay attention. You’re likely to find yourself waiting at some point while in Pandora. Between the lengthy lines for both Flight of Passage and the Na’vi River Journey, trust me…you’ll have some downtime. THIS is why you need to know about Pongu Pongu - this place has the yummiest, most fun cocktails in all of AK. The Rum Blossom is an absolute MUST! We enjoyed several while waiting for Flight of Passage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/e16340ff-7758-40ac-8d7c-98baf44923cd/IMG_3450.jpg Blog - A Day At Animal Kingdom - Make it stand out As I stated earlier, Flight of Passage is my FAVORITE. It is a ride that is 100% worth the wait, and you will wait. After Flight of Passage we did a little more backtracking over to Africa for some snacks. We grabbed a churro and some grilled corn to hold us over while we waited for the Na’vi River Journey, our last ride of the day. Again…let me reiterate, it’s great! And, that was our day! Still lot’s of fun, just not our favorite. We’ve discussed just doing Pandora the next time we visit AK, but we’ll see. We were out of the park by 7 pm, which was good because that’s what time this park closes. From what I understand, AK closes earlier than the other parks because of the animals’ schedules. So, make sure to plan accordingly! -D https://theblondegem.com/blog/a-day-at-hollywood-studios monthly 0.5 2023-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/361a955c-0d60-4573-9033-801f59b826f9/IMG_3167.JPG Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/b2e3b03f-9de0-4f6e-a09b-26f2394d9d02/IMG_3172.JPG Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out Next we caught the one o’clock showing of Beauty and the Beast. It was SO good! However, I will warn you…I did spend the entire rest of our trip singing “Be Our Guest”, but it was totally worth it. There are lots of opportunities to catch this show throughout the day. Shows begin at 11 am, and run every other hour through 4 pm, with an additional show at 5 pm. The last time we were in Disney they weren’t doing any shows due to COVID. So, we were pumped to finally see it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/85db8dab-3224-4b8f-8a82-8ce163b8cfc0/IMG_3181.jpg Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out After the show, we made our way over to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. This ride was SO much better than last time because we got to be pilots. I would highly recommend trying to get the pilot assignment if you can. It’s much more interactive than the other positions. Last time we were in the back, and it was a totally different experience…still cool, but definitely not as good. We made a lunch reservation (in advance) at 50’s Prime Time Café. This is such a fun restaurant. It’s super retro, which I love. The staff are also so in character. Let’s just say we got in “trouble” repeatedly for having our elbows on the table and having our phones out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/396d889f-13e3-4122-9d3f-80f07099061a/IMG_3198.jpg Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out I ordered the beer-battered onion rings and a caesar salad, and Megan and I both got margaritas. It was a delicious meal and very filling. I would definitely recommend making a reservation prior to your trip if you’d like to eat here. It was packed when we were there. After lunch we decided we had to try the viral Spiked Cold Brew Black Caf. I think the below picture speaks for itself. It was YUMMY. Totally worth the hype. Cold brew and chocolate liqueur, topped with sweet cream cheese and chocolate puffs? Yes, please! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/fe3d40f6-18e8-4d3e-ac06-5fd558f6e2f9/IMG_3204.JPG Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out This drink can be purchased in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Kat Saka’s Kettle. We used the Disney app to place a mobile order. I had my heart set on a balloon picture at Hollywood Studios. Specifically, I wanted one of those clear balloons with the colored Mickey head on the inside. We asked an employee and were told they only sell those at Magic Kingdom (though we never saw any at Magic Kingdom). Still, I somehow ended up buying a $20 DOLLAR BALLOON, y’all. Ridiculous? Absolutely. But, FTB (for the blog) became the official motto of the trip at that point. It was a really nice balloon - it lit up and everything. But, worth $20?? Probably not. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/b49bbcda-6b40-4c5c-a59e-0d2b0548156a/IMG_3247.JPG Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out Outfit details: ears & shirt - Etsy, shorts & sneaks - Amazon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/ae6df400-09c6-42ff-ba4b-2e2be03969e4/IMG_3259.JPG Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out With my balloon, which we named Mary-Belle, in tow, we made our way to Toy Story Land, specifically Woody’s Lunch Box. Again, we utilized the Disney app and placed a mobile order for “totchos”, Angry Orchards and a raspberry lunch box tart (essentially a fancy pop-tart). Definitely recommend all of the above, especially the “totchos”. Next, still with my balloon in tow, we headed to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. If you do decide to waste your money on a $20 balloon like I did, you can leave it at the entrance of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and pick it back up afterwards. Fun fact: Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster was my first upside down roller coaster when I was 14 years old (my first trip to Disney). It remains one of my favorite rides at Disney. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/2bc21a3e-ae47-4c5f-bdc8-1559e43348b8/D7B8768E-67B6-4F45-8D43-DA67D41D71FC.JPG Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out For your viewing pleasure… Next up, we (Megan, Mary-Belle & I) grabbed drinks at Oasis Canteen, a cute little stand with a fabulous bartender. I got a Long Lost Island, which was delicious. The bartender also gave me a light up ice cube, which I brought home with me. After a quick drink we headed over to Star Tours, a 3D experience that we also did last time. It’s what I would consider the third ride in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. This time I was told to give my balloon to someone inside. What we didn’t realize until we had already walked all the way through the line a second time to retrieve the balloon, was that it had been handed off to someone else so I could get it at the end of the ride. Thankfully, I was able to find Mary-Belle. THEN it was time for the pièce de résistance, Rise of the Resistance. This ride is nuts, y’all! It is unlike any other ride I’ve ever ridden and is absolutely worth the wait. Ten out of ten recommend! I know essentially nothing about Star Wars, but I still really enjoy this ride. Balloon update: (I’m looking out for you, parents!) I was able to leave Mary-Belle at the front of this ride as well. We did forget her initially, but it was super simple to go back to the entrance of the ride and grab her. At 8 pm, we went to see Fantasmic!, which just so happened to be conveniently located near Tower of Terror…our last ride of the night. Fantasmic! was SUPER cute, and included some of the underrated characters. For example, it was the only time, in any of the four parks that I saw Mary Poppins. The show is about 30 minutes long, and a great way to end the night. I would recommend getting there early though. Otherwise you’ll end up walking quite a bit further to the opposite side of the amphitheater in an attempt to find a seat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/efc13698-d708-4fcb-930d-e060db3a674a/883E7B4D-2866-4860-A43D-4743B627A523.jpg Blog - A Day At Hollywood Studios - Make it stand out We closed down the park with my favorite ride of the day. We purposely waited until after dark to ride Tower of Terror, and I don’t think I’ll ever ride it during the day again. SO much better at night! Balloon update: once again, we were told we needed to leave Mary-Belle with someone inside. So, once we reached our elevator entrance I handed her off to one of the employees. The short version of the story is this: the employee at the end of the ride told me that a child had taken my balloon…my $20 dollar balloon, y’all. I actually handled the news better than Megan did. We were able to hold on to that balloon for almost half of our time in the park, and lost her on the last ride. All of this to say, leaving your balloon with an employee while you ride a ride does NOT guarantee its safe return to you. Something to keep in mind before dropping $20 on an overpriced balloon. We ended up grabbing dinner back at our resort, but there are lots of great places to choose from if you’d like to have dinner in the park. I would just suggest making a reservation in advance or utilizing the Disney app to place a mobile order. The park closed at 9 pm when we were there. So, we spent about 9.5 hours in the park. We were definitely exhausted by the end of the day and left with a few blisters, but overall I would say this was the perfect amount of time to do everything we wanted to do. I can honestly say I am PUMPED for my next visit to Hollywood Studios! -D https://theblondegem.com/blog/guest-writer-the-skinny-on-turning-your-hobby-into-a-business monthly 0.5 2022-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/ec49d0fd-b112-4736-a4e6-9b69bce89975/pexels-monstera-9429448.jpg Blog -

My name is Danielle (or D), and I am a 33-year-old, UNnatural blonde (don’t tell anyone though). Through years of experimenting with hair color, I have determined that I absolutely do have more fun as a blonde…or at least a partial blonde. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/faaf6e2e-68c6-4557-887d-65e8f229ff7e/0W8A0612+2.jpg Meet The Blonde - My husband Vinnie (or V) and I met on 12/12/2020 and got married on 02/20/22. (Two definitely seems to be a lucky number for us.) V is genuinely the kindest soul I have ever met, and it blows my mind that my sassy little southern ass gets to call him mine. It took us a very long time to find each other (I was 30 and V was 28 when we met), but it was totally worth the wait. I’m sure he’ll be showing his face around here every now and then. He’s got a pretty cute face if I do say so myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/34294512-2c95-4d9d-9053-5d059708f04b/BC222B10-0A18-446A-8BD1-5C5910A21DA1.jpg Meet The Blonde - We live in a little country cottage (Belle Hue Cottage) in the Southern US that belonged to my grandparents. It’s really Koko’s house…we just live here. Koko Marie a.k.a “Puff” is our Pomeranian diva. She is SASSY and very antisocial like her Mama, but her bark is definitely worse than her bite. Her love can be bought in the form of snacks. You’ll be seeing (and probably hearing) a lot of her if you follow along on Instagram and/or TikTok. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/9ca046bd-5050-44e0-a895-6b8bbbee0249/A42I5592.jpg Meet The Blonde - I suffer from both anxiety and depression, which is actually the reason I was inspired to start this blog. Unfortunately dealing with these illnesses can involve a lot of trial and error, but I have an amazing doctor who has worked with me over the past several years to find just the right combination of medications. I’ll be sharing the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to my mental health because I think it’s SO important. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/269818ee-8e99-48bf-8d1e-a12c0046bd70/A42I3073.JPG Meet The Blonde - I’m an Enneagram Type 4 and probably the biggest introvert you’ll ever meet. I’m a Gemini through and through and very proud of it. I love organizing and decorating and of course writing. I also love reading and watching reality TV…I’ll never understand why I have to pay for cable with all these channels, when I only want one (Bravo). Lastly, french fries are my favorite food and queso is my love language. I actually recently discovered it’s words of affirmation, but with a side of queso? Yes, please. https://theblondegem.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-06-14 https://theblondegem.com/the-blonde-wino daily 0.75 2023-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/920b45e7-da05-4575-b7c8-e99a8de0b279/IMG_3637.jpg The Blonde Wino https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/d54bfa83-ef65-4ef2-8fdb-e2d07a50f378/IMG_6340.jpg The Blonde Wino https://theblondegem.com/the-blonde-book-club daily 0.75 2024-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/f5ed15c6-ae17-4d2d-b682-647556699334/IMG_9105.jpg The Blonde Book Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/e4194e2e-309a-47e6-9dc3-49d25ceadd38/IMG_8512.jpg The Blonde Book Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/71db3622-97fb-49d1-a418-a9cac03faf81/IMG_9986.jpg The Blonde Book Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/5654fe87-7a51-4847-a9a7-1d4497803697/IMG_0374.jpg The Blonde Book Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ea13c593ccf03063dd728/e82b9e00-e807-4d4a-a310-f43d60684ac2/IMG_0472.jpg The Blonde Book Club https://theblondegem.com/theparisapartment daily 0.75 2024-06-12 https://theblondegem.com/wintering daily 0.75 2024-06-26 https://theblondegem.com/goodboundariesandgoodbyes daily 0.75 2024-06-26 https://theblondegem.com/people-we-meet-on-vacation daily 0.75 2024-06-26 https://theblondegem.com/the-life-giving-home daily 0.75 2024-07-03
