Two best pals sharing their passion for the Parks and finding magic in the everyday
I love a theme. I love a party. So naturally I’ve been planning my son’s first birthday party since before he was born. Up has been an important part of our family’s story, tying it into our wedding and our birth announcement, so it seemed fitting to celebrate our little explorer growing up with an Up-themed birthday party! We were able to incorporate so many fun details, and I wanted to share all of the adventure with you!
Read MoreOne of my favorite traditions my husband and I have started over the past year is “Friday Happy Hour at Home.” Every Friday after we wrap the work day, we celebrate with a fun snack or drink (not always booze!) and listen to a fun playlist while our son eats dinner. This past Friday, it was our son’s first birthday, and since I was crying about my big, grown up toddler, I decided to make happy hour at home extra fun with an Up theme! I created a grazing board inspired by Making Main Street and whipped up a cocktail inspired by Ellie’s Grape Soda pin, which we are calling the Ellie 75!

Combining our favorites from classic TV shows and Marvel magic, the show has been a welcome treat to fill the Mandalorian-shaped void in our lives. While we don’t catch every Marvel Easter egg, we are big fans of old Nick at Nite shows so the nostalgia is fun. With the finale airing this week, we decided to put together a TV dinner style menu inspired by one of our park favorites, 50s Prime Time Cafe.

If you’ve ever been to the Polynesian (or Hawaii IRL), you’ve likely sipped on the famed POG juice, a combination of passionfruit, orange and guava juices. I love POG juice so much I once cried actual tears of joy sipping a POG-mosa in the Club Lounge at the Polynesian. Please see below for evidence. So to bring the spirit of Aloha home and help you start off the day with a smile, we’ve whipped up a POG Juice Smoothie recipe that is sure to make you feel like you’re in a tropical oasis.
