Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Corey Click Here
What's the peanut butter flavor that everyone loves here? I'm thinking it's not the mousse, but a combination of two other things?
I've searched, but my eyes are crossing!
That Rowlf cake is amazing! So glad you wete persistent and uploaded the pics! Sunds like it was delicious, too! That's the flavor profile I'm thinking about for the cake I order for the husband in May...
Oooh, did you have an inspiration photo? I want to order a cake for DH's 40th in May, and SBWillie is his fave, but I haven't come across any cakes featuring him...
I am struggling with this too. Well, I have two extremes: wavering between extreme guilt over leaving my two (12 & 10) and pure elation at the thought of an adult-only trip with my husband.
We have a trip booked for May for the husband's 40th birthday. We knew we wanted to do a trip, but when...
We are doing the same! Going in May for 4 nights/5 days without our kids. For the husband's 40th birthday. I keep wavering between extreme guilt over not taking them with us and pure elation at going just the two of us.
We are doing the budget route, however, as those children of ours have a...
OK, I'm a tad late in my update to our custom cake experience. Only about 4 months, but better late than never, right? :blush:
We ordered a custom 6 inch from the Contemporary for my daughter's 10th birthday. We were surprising her at a lunch reservation at Whispering Canyon. I worked with...
OK, just a couple more! Sorry for the whirlwind parade of outfits. I should have done a better job updating. Oh well. I'm just glad to be done sewing and packing (mostly) and ready to be ON VACATION!!!!!
Goofy's Candy Co. For our DTD evening:
And last but not least, Ella's favorite: Duffy...
The one where I hand-glued individual rhinestones on Minnie's bow. This was a Wal-Mart t-shirt that I upcycled and blinged out a bit. :)
Steamboat Willie for the boy:
And another for the girl, Villians this time, per her request:
If you look closely at her bow, it's a...
Another of my favorites:
Imagine that little red hat on a headband. That will be her headwear.
Again, another favorite for the boy. Can't beat classic red and black. And the Partners statue. :)
Tie-Dye! I tried my hand at the Mickey tie-dye shirts and did a set for all of us. Yes, we will be *THOSE* people one day. With the matchy-matchy shirts. The husband wasn't completely on board at first, but I made him one anyway and he's gonna suck it up and wear it. :)
And because he...
More clothes! I ended up with 8 total shirts for the boy and 9 outfits for the girl. For a 7 day trip. So the plan is to wear one outfit each Sunday night when we arrive and go to Downtown Disney to eat and shop, etc. Then maybe a mid-day costume change for the girl somewhere along the way one...
OK, more fun. How about a little Trip Report within a Pre-Trip Report?
We live in a suburb of Kansas City, so we are only about 2 hours from Walt's boyhood hometown of Marceline, Missouri. You know, that little town he based Main Street USA off of? Anyway, over spring break, we took a little...
Ack! I've been very neglectful - I keep meaning to post updates, but end-of-school-year craziness kept getting in the way. Programs and ceremonies and swim practices and meets. You know. But now school is out and we're down to only 2- yes TWO days until we leave! And believe it or not, I'm...
Sorry it's been a few days! We had an out of town swim meet and I was exhausted afterwards, and I didn't even swim!
Ready for the fun stuff? I'm talking clothes and cake here, people! (Finally!)
So, as I mentioned before, it is dangerous to hang out on the DISboards. It will lead you into all...
Yeah, Jessica, I saw that you ditched us (not that we would have gotten to see you - I wish, though!) For California!
Dorine, I blame you for my obsession with chunky necklaces and headgear! I've got a few of each in the works for the girl.
See how nothing here is my fault?:rolleyes1
OK, more details!
First more about us!
The husband: By day, he is an IT nerd at a local hospital. Night time, he is a tried-and-true family man. He's awesome with our kids, he's the family-appointed math-homework-checker, active part of our kids' swim team.
Favorite Character: Mickey Mouse...
So this is kind of a last-minute pre-trip report, I suppose, since the majority of the ones I see are months and months in advance. Well, I can be a bit of a procrastinator, and it just occurred to me that I'd maybe like to write one of these things, since I do enjoy reading others'. You'll...
WooHoo! We are going to WDW this summer and it is over DD's birthday and I just happened to find a post about custom cakes on pinterest, which lead me here. I've been in contact with Chef Brian at the contemporary and we are planning a cake for DD! It's going to be a surprised (if I can keep it...
Curious to know what you ended up doing. We are thinking of a late spring trip and trying to decide between a value or the BV Palace. Right now, the BV palace is less expensive than the value, but not sure if the savings is "worth it" for losing convenience...
