3 Tips for Holiday Travel with Kids

1 Comment

Alright, I’m back as I promised with some tips we picked up on our last stay with our kids. Obviously, the holidays are a super popular time for travel and also a time of year where we are all trying to save money in order to buy the perfect presents for our family. So, I wanted to pop in with some tips for traveling with your kids, especially if you’re going to be sharing a hotel room or a common space with your little ones. On this last trip, we had one room, two kids, and a lot of time to kill after the kids fell asleep and we were trapped.

The Happiest Holiday Staycation

Leave a comment

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that our love for Disneyland runs deep. What you might not know is that we miss out half the fun because we can never get there when the park opens because of dreaded California traffic. I’m talking, I’d have to rally the troops and be out the door at 5;30 am and still hit some stretches of bumper to bumper on our way. Yes, we still are pretty lucky to be so close to the happiest place on earth, but I just discovered a way to make it even happier when we recently stayed at Grand Legacy At The Park just across the street from Disneyland and it was the best decision!

The Pixie Dust of the Disney Social Media Moms Conference

Leave a comment

You know that infamous quote from Peter Pan “all you need is a little faith, trust, and pixie dust”? Well, I am here to say that there is a whole lot of truth to that. Your pixie dust might look a little different than mine, but I think that we can all find a little extra sprinkle of magic in our lives if we look for it. Yesterday I got to experience my own encounter with some pixie dust at the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland! I got invited to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Conference held at the resort and it was nothing short of magical. I had SO many of you lovely folks asking questions so I thought I’d share a bit about the day over here!

Just Another Disney Day

I mean, a day at Disneyland wouldn’t be complete without a churro, right? These ones were hot and fresh and I honestly could have eaten 5. Luckily I listened to my better judgement and only ate one and a half, HA! We had such a fun day. The last few times we have gone things have felt a little rushed or we have dealt with tantrums. This trip we planned on leaving at 1pm and ended up staying until 7pm because of how smooth everything went. Honestly I’m pretty sure it’s because I gave myself really attainable goals for the trip like seeing Frozen live and meeting Tinkerbell and Moana. Literally those were the only “plans” for the day. The rest we winged and it went so much better. You think I would be better at taking my own advice since it’s one of the tips I blogged about a few months ago. I shared a few photos of our day below, all taken on my iPhone (you don’t need to lug around a fancy camera all day at the parks to capture great photos!). Then at the very bottom you’ll find a video montage of our day.

Surviving Disneyland with 2 Kids Under Two

Leave a comment

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know our family’s love for Disneyland runs deep. In fact, Christian and I used to go together all the time in college and when we first got married. The Disney magic doesn’t ever get old, in fact I think it just get more magical when you get to bring your own kiddos. That’s why its our go-to place for family adventures. We had just gotten down a pretty solid routine to conquer the parks with a toddler, and then Sullivan arrived. That meant we had to think through all of the new curve balls that would come with navigating things with a newborn. So, I’ve created a list of a few Do’s & Don’ts that we learned on our trip.
