Frosting

April 16, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hiya! Saturday night already? BBOOO! I hope you had a good day though! After the crazy tornadic weather (is tornadic a word?) We had a BEAUTIFUL day today! Breezy, sunny, high of 73. Awesome. Bobby and I started the day with a nice easy, but hilly, 3 mile run in 30 minutes. It was just so nice out, very odd for April on the coast. It’s usually hotter than heck around here by now!

Post run Sweatiness.

After getting cleaned up and looking like a girl again, I made lunch, we had new friends from church coming over!

We ate lunch outside, because, well, it was too petty to stay inside! We played the Wii and hung out. They have the cutest little boy, I think he’s 1.5 years old. So stinkin cute. The pups aren’t used to little people so it was funny to watch them interact (or bark at) him.

After they left, we went to Lowes. We had a few things to pick up for the house and I had a $10 coupon to use. After Lowe’s, we went to Dinner somewhere new (to us) called Aristos. It’s a Greek place modeled after an old favorite of ours in Jackson where we just moved from.

 

It was really yummy and very reasonably priced. Just enough food, too. I was full after but not that ohmygoshIamgoingtothrowup full. Even though I WAS full, I was determined to eat a cupcake. You see, right next to the restaurant is a Gourmet Cupcake place called Frosting….oh. my. gosh.

Not only is it pink and green and fun with couches and funky chairs, but they have AMAZING cupcakes! They have 6 flavors that are there daily and then every day there are also 6 other different flavors. I am for sure going back on a Tuesday when they have WEDDING CAKE! Bobby got one called “prozac” that was basically death by chocolate.

It was good…but not as good as my COOKIES N CRÈME!

HUGE and AMAZING. Seriously one of the best desserts I have put in my mouth, and trust me, I have had a LOT of desserts! After inhaling said cupcakes, we came home and took the girls on a walk. I didn’t feel quite as bas about myself for eating all my dinner plus a whole huge cupcake after my walk!

Now I am quite full and falling into a food coma. Ok, I am off to enjoy the rest of my weekend, and you should do the same! Tomorrow is church and working in the yard, and relaxing. I love Sundays!

QOTD: What is your favorite cupcake flavor?

    Oh yum! I am obsessed with cupcakes. Those look good! My favorite at the best place is NJ is the cookie dough or peanut butter cup. My favorite at the places here is either lemon or peanut butter banana. mmmmm. And now I want a cupcake at 8:30 am.

    Oh wow, girl, we would so be friends in person! This post sounds like one I could’ve written! Doing something active with the husband, hanging out with friends from church, eating outside ’cause it’s too gorgeous to go inside, going to Lowes (waaay too much time here, haha!) and finally, trying new places to eat (especially with coupons)! Haha! Seriously, this is like a day in the life of Christopher and Rach. Love it! 🙂 Looks like you had fun!

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨
