So anyone that knows me knows I am obsessed with nice smells. It drives my husband nuts but hey who doesn't want their house to smell good?!? So with that in mind I have been trying some new products I want to share with you!

~For your Carpet~
So first on my list of new must haves is Arm & Hammer Vacuum Boost. I'm not sure what the scent is but its the one that has oxi-clean in it and a white flower. It has such a nice subtle scent and just brightens up the floors in your home.

~For your Whole Home~
I love Scentsy because I find that the smells they come up with are not overpowering and they have a great selection. Right now I am rocking the Happy Birthday Scent, Rio Beach, and Coconut Lemongrass. It doesn't take long for the whole house to smell uber yummy!

~For your Wash~
Oh my goodness! This stuff rocks. I am always trying to find ways to have that fresh out of the dryer smell last longer and I have found it. Downy in-wash scent boosters give your clothes a wonderful fresh smell that lasts so much longer than I thought possible. I find this especially awesome for towels and bedding. There are many different brands of this out now so I suggest smelling them all in the store till you find one that you like.

So my awesome SIL and BIL invited us to go on holidays with them to Disneyland in May. I can admit that I was a little unsure of how it would go as I have always heard horror stories about the lines and crowds there. We packed up at 5 a.m. on May 12 and headed out making it all the way to Cedar City the first night. We had a more relaxing travelling day on the 13th and made it to our hotel by 3. I have to give props to Aodhan for being such a fabulous traveller. We decided to go with a 3 day hopper pass and a day at Universal studios (we got the City Pass) and I must say it seemed like just the right amount of time at each place.What a great time and great company. Thanks again to Erin, Ross, Amy, and Beth for showing us how to party like a rock star. So here are some things we loved, and things we would do different.

Things I would do different~

For some reason I didn't realize you could take snacks into the parks and if I had one regret it would be that I had gone and got more snacks and food instead of buying so much in the park. I also would suggest doing the same for breakfast items as the Continental breakfast in the hotels around Disneyland are a little sad. I also would have taken a few more days either travelling down or to have breaks in between the park days. Maybe just one or two but that can make a big difference. Overall though it was way better than I expected and Luke is already talking about going back so you know it went well!

And now for the good part... PICTURES!
