Educational Honeymoon?! Pt 1

Da Hubby and I decided that for one week we would go to museums, aquariums, NASA and whatever we felt like for our honeymoon. We learned about CityPass which if you have a city near you that accepts it, you should try it! A guy I work with told me about it and for $80 dollars The Mister and I had 5 activities that we could do in Houston. Included in the pass was Space Center Houston (NASA), Downtown Aquarium, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston Zoo, and The Children's Museum of Houston. All were so much fun except the Children's Museum but I will talk about that later.


On day 1 we hit up Moody Gardens and I could have stayed there the whole entire week! It is an aquarium, zoo, rain forest, movie theater, playground, heck it is just about everything.

And this was just 2 of the pyramids of  Moody Gardens! My camera died before we went into the Discovery pyramid and I played on a theremin, Da Hubby played a harp and a bunch of other instruments. Not to mention we watched 3 videos a Shark one which was awesome and talked about conservation, a 4D Wizard of Oz where we were poked, squirted in the face with water, blasted with wind, and had our legs tickled so it felt like we were in the move, or the RideFilm that was basically a stationary roller-coaster with a film in front of us ( da hubby got a bit nauseous on that one - kind of jerky) .

After we left about 5 oclock we were starving, we ate pretzels for lunch (we had a huge breakfast), so we thought it was only fitting to eat at Rain Forest Cafe. Oh My Goodness the burgers were so GOOD now they are not Willy Burger good but I was not expecting that good of a burger.  Da Hubby has there pictures since my camera died but we just played on the monkey outside of the restaurant.
Let me know if y'all want to hear about our other adventures while honeymooning - this was just day one!

Countdown to Valentine's Day - Wreaths

DSC02080 - Copy (2)

So I skipped a day but it will be okay. Today I want to show you some wreaths I have been gawking over. 

Is it horrible that I love this one mainly because of the bunting?

I love framed wreaths and wreath frames...I think I just like frames and this adds to it. Who knows!

This is great! I mean come on it says Love right on it.

These Etsy sellers are so darn crafty. I think I like the no traditional wreaths the best.

Do you have a Valentine's wreath? I don't maybe next year, this one is too busy.

Countdown to Valentine's Day - Kid Snacks

For all of you out there who have kids and need snacks to bring to their class here are some options.

The Tip Junkie made these particular fruit kabobs, but aren't they the coolest? Super healthy and not too messy.

These heart shaped cookies by A Spoonful of Sugar Designs would be fun for the kids to help make & tasty to eat. 

The mister loves these made with Rolos, I like the mix of sweet and salty so much!

Or if you are short on time make up a cute printable like they did over at Just Married With Coupons. This could work with so many things.

How excited are you for Valentine's Day??

Movie Date
Men's movie date

Your man should always carry a hoodie with him to the movies because us ladies get chilly.

I think this is a man uniform for most guys - jeans, tee-shirt, hat, and random shoes

Or if you are staying home and watching movies

Countdown to Valentine's Day - Mantle Decor

DSC02080 - Copy (2)
I am about to decorate my mantle for Valentine's Day here are some of my inspirations.

The lady from At Second Street blog has such a beautiful mantle. 

Kate Marie has the best colors on her mantle and she only spent 2.50 on it! 

The mantle from One Orange Giraffe is so gorgeous! I love bunting and the sign on the left is my favorite.

This is as far an I have gotten with my mantle but I have some red vases and some candles I will put up and maybe some bunting. I will show you when I am finished!
