Super Nintendo World had its long awaited opening at Universal Studios Hollywood earlier this year and we finally got to experience it ourselves! My kids have been dreaming about this day since it’s concept announcement and their excitement was only fueled by the Nintendo Switch they received this past Christmas. It’s been all things Mario for months over here! I have been reading blogs and reviews about how to best navigate it for the past few months because it seems like the rest of the country was just as excited as we were so they have had all sort of queues and reservations in order to access the area.  The thing is, there have been a few changes since the opening, so I’m here to give you a super up to date list of tips and tricks for making the most of your trip!

      I cant believe the holidays have already rolled around again, but we were all so excited to get to have one of our new favorite family traditions. Last year was our first time experiencing the holidays at Universal Studios Hollywood and we all totally fell in love with the magic. This year was even more fun because the kiddos could go on almost every ride! You can see some of the highlights of our trip by clicking here!Keep reading to hear more about our favorite parts.

It’s no secret that I love Disneyland! I’ve been at least once a year (sometimes 2 or 3 times a month) for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve learned which things are worth the extra weight in your bag and what things you can honestly just leave at home. Then when I had kids I had to re-learn everything, and now that I no longer have a “baby” (even though my two year old still feels like a baby to me) I’m heading to the park next week with a slightly different list of items that I used to. I was so excited that Petunia Pickle Bottom sent over some pieces from their new Beauty & the Beast collection with Disney Baby. They have been my go to for Disney day bags and these ones did not disappoint!

Elouise requested a karaoke birthday this year and you better believe I ran with that. I gathered all things gold, glittery, and of course had to include a whole bunch of disco balls! Everything was sourced from either Target or Amazon for super cheap which is my favorite kind of party. Everything was simple but still fabulous and to be honest the kids doing karaoke was the best part. It was honestly the most pure and precious thing I’ve ever seen. If take nothing away from this post other than the fact that you need a karaoke microphone, I’ll honestly be happy. Scroll to the end to see the links for everything including the super affordable and epic microphone I snagged from Amazon!

This project has been one of my most favorites that we tackled. It has so much drama from stage to stage. I knew what my vision was, and I am the type that will do whatever I can to make it happen once it’s stuck in my head. The problem is I don’t always think about step B-Y, I only focus on A and Z. Luckily we pulled it off and the kids’ room is easily my favorite in the whole house! We did the project from start to finish in a just a few hours and under $100 (if you have some of the tools or paints already you can get it done even cheaper). It pulled together the vision I had for the kids room 100%. It’s hard finding a vibe that meets three kids and both genders. Each of the older kids has been asking for more personalized items in their room (I guess my boho desert vibe wasn’t exciting to my tiny kids, lol). I love, love, love that final reveal. They each have their own flair in their spaces, and they were all so excited about their rainbow!
