We are going to the most magical place on Earth, DISNEY WORLD! We won’t be staying on Disney grounds this time. We opted to save a bit, and relax outside the hustle and bustle of all that magic. This resort, however, seems just as amazing as some of the resorts we have been so lucky to stay at in the past. It is home to 10 restaurants, an award winning golf course and spa, and has a spectacular view of the nighty fireworks at Disney from the pool. Oh, the pool has a lazy river and water slides for the kids. The reviews are amazing and we even had a…

Top 5 Summer Snacks
Can you believe it? Summer! YES! It’s right around the corner. Well, if you live in Wisconsin, you really do not believe it yet – we literally had winter coats out last week when it dipped back down into the low 40s. Seriously. However, SUMMER MUST come eventually and school lets out in just under 3 weeks. The excitement is palpable. I thought I’d share some of our favorite summer staples, along with links for the giant containers we use for sharing our snacks. Because I know one thing about summer + kids = WE EAT A LOT OF FOOD! Balled Watermelon Sprinkled with Sea Salt: check out my piece on…
Watermelon & Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
A friend of mine, @healthy.madeinmadison, posted this picture on Instagram about watermelon sprinkled with pink himalayan sea salt. I’ve heard about adding salt to watermelon, but I never actually knew why. Until today. And it has a lot to do with modernization of farming. If you want to learn more, click here. Basically, ADD SALT TO YOUR WATERMELON. Not nasty, bleached white salt, GOOD SALT. Like Himalayan pink sea salt, or just sea salt. Natural stuff. It really does wonders for the flavor (Thanks, Chemistry!) and aids with digestion. We took 1/2 watermelon and balled it, then sliced a lime, zested some of it over the watermelon, and sprinkled with…
Starbucks and Nut Allergies
Starbucks is a common stop for us. Grownups love it, kids love it and what is a better way to deal with YET MORE SNOW IN WISCONSIN than a nice warm cup of coffee or tea?! Literally, I have no words for April snow. I mean, COME ON! When we were first diagnosed with nut allergies, we avoided Starbucks completely. However, that’s no way to live life {coffee deprived, are you KIDDING me?! Also known as Mean Mommy!}. Once we figured out how to navigate the Starbucks menu a bit, we learned that our favorite treat was no longer completely off limits. If you follow me in Instagram @nutfreemomblog, you’ve…
