The Polar Express Train Ride

Leave a comment

You guys, this has been on my bucket list since before I had kiddos. When I was teaching (you know in my past life) a student took a trip to the one they do at the Grand Canyon and that’s when I knew that I had to take my kids someday. When I did have kids I realized that drive to Arizona was less than ideal with the ages they were. Then this year I saw that the same location we did A Day Out with Thomas was hosting the first ever Southern California location of the Polar Express Train Ride. Now, this is the legit version not some one off, hokey experience. It truly felt like we were on the real Polar Express, the experience is something I will never forget.

Disneyland with the Ergobaby Metro Stroller

Leave a comment

Two things I feel like I’m kind of an expert on at this point in my life is Disneyland and strollers. It sounds like a weird combo, I know. Seriously though, but I have spent my life exploring the Happiest Place on Earth, the past 4 years as Annual Passholders with our kiddos. Since we have been blogging our family adventures since Elouise was only a few months old I have had around 20 strollers (not all at once) so I have had just a tiny bit of experience to be able to speak to what you want to look for when purchasing one for yourself. I was so excited when one of our favorite brands, Ergobaby, reached out about their new Metro Compact City Stroller. We took it out over to Disnyeland to see how it would hold up to a day exploring Disney style.

Spring Break at HoJo Anaheim

Leave a comment

You know by now that we LOVE staying at the Howard Johnson Anaheim anytime we have something to celebrate or really just whenever we need a mini family get away. This was our 4th time staying there and we are even more obsessed! I shared about our other trips, kicking off summertime last year and sharing our tips for picking kid friendly hotels, but this time we had an early spring break trip to celebrate Elouise’s birthday.

This year we are traveling with two opinionated toddlers rather than one toddler and a sleeping baby, and I knew this would be a game changer. That’s why I’m so excited to have partnered with Firestone Complete Auto Care to share my favorite road trip hack with you guys.

Kicking off Summertime with a Staycation

Leave a comment

When it comes to Summertime, we don’t mess around in Southern California. Seeing as it feels like summer 80% of the year down here anyway, when its officially time to leave behind the busy schedule and trade it in for extra playtime, we don’t waste any time. With that being said, we decided to do a mini family staycation at Howard Johnson Anaheim because not only does it give us great options for family friendly rooms, but our kids are OBSESSED with the water playground. Plus, it’s walking distance to Disneyland, like literally 8 minutes, which is a huge bonus! If you missed the original blog I wrote about our first stay at HoJo Anaheim you can find it here. If you’re looking for something fun to do with your family this summer, keep reading because I have an awesome discount to share with you!
