<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sure you might read the title of this post and thing - wow she's already in the Christmas spirit but nope - for me the most wonderful time of the year is the Food & Wine Festival at Epcot! I count down to it like Christmas that's a true store!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We visit the festival multiples times during Food & Wine season where else can you try samples of delicious foods at small prices with small portions so that if you don't like you could just toss it in the trash - as you can probably guess though tossing food is a rarity with us crazy Taylors! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This week was our second visit through Food & Wine, it was a lovely week night stroll where we saw Sugar Ray perform and we ate some yummy foods! And not so surprising we are heading back to the Festival today with friends to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather and more deliciousness! </span></div>

I have let so many other things get in the way of blogging and crafting and cooking but I'm here and I'm back on track. It helps that this is my absolute favorite time of year there is something about the Fall that just inspires me. The weather is getting nicer, the holiday season is kicked off, there are so many yummy foods and amazing craft projects that just need to be done so it makes me happy to be back in action now that Fall is in full swing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">I kicked off Fall festivities with a quick trip to New York and New Jersey. The reason for the trip was so I could be Godmother to my dear friends Bob and Shannon's new bundle of joy Raiden. While I was traveling up North I spent a couple of days with my cousin and best friend Denise. Being with Denise reminded me how much I love the City and city life. Walking to the store and getting our hair done, and going to parks that did not have rides and lines and gift shops but instead had trees and leaves and walking paths. One day we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and it was dreary and rainy and I was wet but happy! And Denise made me feel so welcome that I'm already trying to figure out when I can get up there again! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Now that Fall is underway and the weather is cooling off here in Florida we are going to be out and about much more and I will be blogging much more. I apologize for my absence but I will ask you my readers to hold me accountable and see that I don't disappear again! More soon... </span><br />

I've had a lot on my mind and cooking and baking relaxes me so I spent a beautiful Sunday cooking my little heart out and made not one but three new recipes and all were very successful!!<br />
<br />
First up - Found this recipe for Nutella Banana Bread on Pinterest! You can find it <a href="http://sixsistersstuff.blogspot.com/2011/08/nutella-banana-bread.html">here</a>. How can you go wrong with Nutella and anything really? But this bread is so yummy and moist!! Hopefully my co-workers will feel the same as some of this is coming to work with me! <br />

Then for dinner I tried a new Rachael Ray recipe - Pasta Carbonara with Corn and Chiles - however you may note that there is no corn in this photo and you may ask why? Ummm I forgot to buy corn!! I don't know what I was thinking I made a list and everything and then got home and oops no corn but let me tell you what this dish was still super delicious SUPER delicious! Mike and I both enjoyed it. I used fresh fettuccine, you can find the recipe <a href="http://www.rachaelraymag.com/Recipes/rachael-ray-magazine-recipe-search/rachael-ray-30-minute-meals/pasta-carbonara-with-corn-and-chiles">here</a>. <br />

</tbody></table>We had such a good time. Arriving in Vegas always feels a little like going back home as I've mentioned in the past my family has shared quite a few big celebrations in Vegas and I have spent a lot of time in Sin City so it has that wonderful homey feel to it when I see those first slot machines in the airport and then step foot on the Strip for the first time.<br />

While in Vegas, we ate, drank, spent time with family, shopped and something that I've never done in Vegas before - WON MONEY! Not a lot of money you don't get rich playing penny slots but it was awfully nice to fund a couple of shopping trips and to come home with some spending money!<br />

</tbody></table>The big reason we were in Vegas this time was to celebrate the wedding of my cousin Kevin and his now lovely wife Trish. Growing up Kevin was more then a cousin, he was and has been like a big brother to me so it was very special sharing this big day with him. And it was a beautiful day and wow did they serve us a ridiculous amount of food!!<br />

</tbody></table>I am loving Week in the Life this time around - still taking less photos but I'm writing everything down and capturing a lot of really special moments I can't really complain. I have to start figuring the format for when I put this book together. I know I want to use an 8 1/2 x 11 binder but do I want to use one or two photos and tell a lot of stories OR do I want to do what I did last time and use photo collages and snippets of journaling? Hmmm decisions. Of course a lot of the folks working on this project already have their format in mind but that's not the way I roll haha!<br />
<br />
I'll be back later with today's recap!Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12070719218261933878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209623941104256864.post-49216411147044929762011-07-30T09:07:00.000-04:002011-07-30T09:07:27.845-04:00Week in the Life Day 5 - Part 1Sorry for the delay in my Day 5 post - had a rather late night!!<br />
<br />
I'm so glad I got to capture a night at The Lucky Leprechaun with the gang. I love being a "regular" somewhere, making new friends, drinking beers and singing (even though I'm terrible I've yet to get thrown off the stage!) Without a doubt it's the people I'm with that really make Friday nights fantastic!<br />

</tbody></table>Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of our buddy and fabulous bartender Mark - most likely because he doesn't stand still long enough to snap one! And this particular Friday Chrissy was unable to make it as she's on a very long road trip but we called her and let her listen to Claire singing so that added to the fun!!Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12070719218261933878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209623941104256864.post-47942715706887557132011-07-28T22:02:00.000-04:002011-07-28T22:02:42.378-04:00A Week in the Life - Day 4Today I took the least amount of photos so far this week, partially because work was so busy and I was doing stuff I couldn't photograph and partially because after clothes shopping I was bummed out so basically just came home and sat on the couch - not really a lot of photo taking opportunities there. But here are some of my favorite shots from today.<br />

I'll be back tomorrow for more Week in the Life goodness!

I do find it hard to take pictures while I'm at work for a few reasons; 1. I don't want my co-workers to think I'm completely insane (though I have a feeling they know I'm halfway there) and 2. A lot of what we do in our area is confidential so I'm limited to the where and what I can take pictures of but I am making the best of it and having a good time doing it. So here is a glimpse of day 3 during this week in my life.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Of course as much that may have changed some things stay the same - such as my love and well honest to goodness addiction to coffee! These days I stop just about every morning at 7-11 for a very large blueberry coffee - DELICIOUS!! </span></span><br />

You see tomorrow I will be once again documenting my every move as I take part in <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/week-in-the-life">Ali Edwards A Week in the Life project. </a><br />
I'm excited to get this project underway, I had so much fun with it the last time and so much in my life has changed that I think now is the perfect time to capture it. <br />
I plan to share photos and stories here and will also show off the completed project. In addition to A Week in the Life I'm also continuing work on Lain Ehmann's MotherLOAD course on Big Picture Classes. It has been an amazing experience so far. <br />
I have to say I am feeling creative, inspired and motivated lately so stay tuned!Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12070719218261933878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209623941104256864.post-24445544911590497312011-07-24T17:18:00.000-04:002011-07-24T17:18:57.541-04:00Amy, Amy, AmySo strange that my last blog post I stated I was listening to Amy Winehouse as I was creating in the craft room and here we are less then a week later and Amy Winehouse has passed away. Such a shame that such a magnificent talent could not overcome her addictions, it is such a shame that we will never have another Amy Winehouse album and so very very strange that she's all I was listening to last week.<br />
<br />
You will be missed Ms. Winehouse<br />

I've probably mentioned before I am absolutely petrified to drive in the rain and the weather forecast was grim and had the rain not letting up until much later tonight. So we took our time getting ready for the day and checking out and then had a fabulous breakfast at one of the hotel's restaurants it was nice and relaxing and then hand in hand we walked and explored the hotel, did a little shopping and then I made a command decision - We're going home! As much as I would have loved to stay at the hotel I knew we had to get home too. So off we went, picked Hooper up from my friend's house and then came home. Sure I had a white knuckle grip on the steering wheel most of the way but we made it safe and sound and have not moved from the couch since! The fur babies have taken turns coming to cuddle with us I guess even though we were only gone over night they missed us!<br /><br />I hope all my Florida friends are safe and sound as it is still absolutely pouring rain out there!Danihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12070719218261933878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209623941104256864.post-87340062648115096922011-03-13T11:44:00.002-04:002011-03-13T11:50:04.898-04:00Wasn't I Cute?<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">One of the major perks to having my mother take part in the February Layout A Day was seeing the layouts she created using old family photos.

It was so much fun seeing how mine and my mom's takes on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Lain's</span> prompts differed and it was nice seeing my mom could create spectacular layouts in a few hours instead of a few weeks (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">haha</span>!)<br /><br />My biggest challenge this time around was working, not only was I getting used to my role at work but I was transitioning to full time and still trying to make time for laundry and exercising and having fun once in a while. Thankfully my husband took care of every meal during the month of February so I did not have to worry about that!!<br /><br />One night in particular I thought I was going to throw in the towel - I worked a 12 hour day, got home around 8:30PM and the challenge was to use ribbon in a way you don't usually use it. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ACK</span>! Ribbon! I don't usually use ribbon on pages at all for some reason I am - no scratch that - <span style="font-style: italic;">was </span>scared to use it. So I thought forget it I won't put together a layout with ribbon I just won't follow the prompt but then Lain announced that if you used the prompt you could win a Jar of Ribbon from www.ribbonjar.com! Well who am I to pass up a chance at a fabulous prize?! So while waiting for one of our meetings to start I was chatting with my boss about this challenge and we started sketching ideas. I sent a quick text to the husband asking him to print out a few photo options for me and when I got home this layout was created:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVf_U-23n4m9pViwP8nlIc2YzMS5UQWgOL0BLtWecPrnHFh5heXpTQYlWIsEt6p_HNhGF2uWaXRUF1IrbCJ8bkTyrqYpgzvEA1_RkO1uj0s2EbNeNLoCdDP1NRbdji4KbO6AbhvstzV0/s1600/IMG_0623.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVf_U-23n4m9pViwP8nlIc2YzMS5UQWgOL0BLtWecPrnHFh5heXpTQYlWIsEt6p_HNhGF2uWaXRUF1IrbCJ8bkTyrqYpgzvEA1_RkO1uj0s2EbNeNLoCdDP1NRbdji4KbO6AbhvstzV0/s200/IMG_0623.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583366549478696226" border="0" /></a><br />And thank goodness it was because I was extremely thrilled to find out I was the winner of the jar of ribbon!!! So today this super stuffed jar of fun arrived!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVuYbQewzj0f7rxOcgp1NdlNNxa57qgIR3MFSNcYs9YU6TLRTwtFp7gyqz9Kwv9VLVmJBHKr-hXgP-Moq9B4fPytUlJZWpC2NfdubfAflQiFixzH15OJAfM_-2LpaFEO02eYNNfPdj0jE/s1600/IMG_1148.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVuYbQewzj0f7rxOcgp1NdlNNxa57qgIR3MFSNcYs9YU6TLRTwtFp7gyqz9Kwv9VLVmJBHKr-hXgP-Moq9B4fPytUlJZWpC2NfdubfAflQiFixzH15OJAfM_-2LpaFEO02eYNNfPdj0jE/s200/IMG_1148.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583366830627390642" border="0" /></a><br />I'm also happy to say that since using ribbon on the layout above I've used it several more times - who knew using ribbon on a layout could be so much fun!!!
