Weekly Newsletter - July 16, 2023

We had such a busy week! I have been trying to get back into sharing more content via social media, which I love as a creative outlet. Make sure you're following me on Facebook & Instagram @thealmostdailydes for even more than what I share in my weekly newsletter.

Kid Approved Garlic Toast Pizzas

Our kids love pizza, I mean who doesn't right? This is a fun way to change it up & the garlic toast adds even more flavor than using a flatbread or pizza crust. They're very simple and if you're kids aren't too little, they can easily make their own. I've been utilizing Walmart's online ordering to save money & time. For the full video assembly click here. I've also linked the ingredients on my LTK for easy shopping through Walmart, click here to shop the ingredients.

Green Milk Tea Recipe

I recently tried Ito En Green Tea, it has the BEST flavor out of any green tea I’ve tasted!! I feel like most green teas are weak and almost taste like dirty dish water. 🤣 This one has such a vibrant green tea flavor because it’s brewed with 100% Japanese grown green tea. You can definitely enjoy it on its own. It is unsweetened too, which I prefer because I can add a healthier sugar to it.

The Green Milk Tea is my new go-to morning drink. It's very simple and that green tea flavor that comes through is very delicious. You can add ice if you want, all of my ingredients were chilled so I didn't add any. To a glass add your sweetener of choice (truvia in my case), Ito En Green Tea (3/4 of the glass) & top with Coconut Milk. For the video version click here, to shop the ingredients click here.

How to Plan a Trip to Williamsburg

Well, the absolute best way to plan any trip is through my husband and I. If you weren't aware, we are both travel agents that work together, so a 2 for 1 deal. Booking through us helps take away the stress & it doesn't cost you any more than you would pay by booking on your own. You can follow our Facebook page, here.

I've visited Williamsburg, VA many times as a kid and it was so fun to be able to take our kids there last summer. I was surprised how much they enjoyed it (since it wasn't as busy as our usual Disney trips). We vlogged the entire time so you can view lots of videos on our Youtube channel by clicking here.

We stayed at the Historic Powhatan Resort. Here, you can enjoy both indoor and outdoor

swimming pools, tennis courts, an outdoor pavilion, mini-golf, horse shoe pits, movie nights and even a playground for the kids. Each suite has a fully equipped kitchen with a

two-burner stovetop, a private balcony or patio and some have a loft for the ultimate in relaxing vacations.

Some things we did & enjoyed were Busch Gardens (When you book with us, you will have unlimited visits to Busch Gardens throughout your stay, plus 3 free meals in the park), the Virginia Living Museum, The Jamestown Settlement and of course exploring Colonial Williamsburg. We also did a ghost tour there but couldn't film.

The food did not disappoint either. We had food from Pierce's Pit BBQ (best I have ever had), Plaza Azteca & Dog Street Pub, which is featured in the Colonial Williamsburg video.

Disney 100 Exhibit at the Franklin Institute

We checked something off of our bucket list for this year. We visited the Franklin Institute for the Disney 100 exhibit. As a Disney superfan I felt emotional at different moments throughout the exhibit. This was a once in a lifetime experience to see all of the Disney artifacts & memorabilia with our girls. If you have not had the chance to go, I highly recommend on visiting before it ends August 27th. We made a video, for those that don't have the chance to go, you can view our vlog here.
