This little man though. He’s the, very important and worthwhile, reason that I have totally been neglecting this little space these days. I have so many exciting things coming up soon that I can’t wait for, like giving you guys a peek into new home, eek! I can’t even believe that our Sully Bear has been here for 3 months already, but here were are. He just gets sweeter, and cuter, and chunkier by the day. Here are a few new updates about our guy.
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.
Yes, I just quoted a Disney song for my blog post title and you’ll see why if you keep reading. Anyway, the first words I read in my quiet time this morning were “It’s all right to be human”. Isn’t that such a relief? Lately, not only have I been acutely aware of the ways I am falling short, but I’ve also been disappointed and disheartened by the way people around me have acted in their own human-ness lately. Let me explain a little bit more about how I’m feeling currently.
Okay, so I have to admit I was totally one of those people who thought spending money on certain baby items was silly. Then I had my first baby and I would have dropped any amount of money for the perfect item for her. I soon realized though that going broke was just around the corner if I kept my addiction up. So, I figured out which items were worth it, and one of those things are baby moccasins. I don’t know what exactly it is but those tiny little feet slipped into those cute little shoes just makes my heart skip a beat. Even just seeing the tiny things lying around gives me a twinge of baby fever, and I just had a baby 2 months ago for crying out loud! Like I discovered with a lot of baby items, not all brands create the same quality of product. Let me just say this once and for all for all of you skeptics out there, not all moccs are created equally. I am die hard, fan girl obsessed with Freshly Picked you guys and they just released a whole new line called “The First Pair” of super adorable, super affordable, newborn size crib moccasins. Just take a look at this little man rocking his newborn moccs and you’ll have no choice but to agree.
Okay, so let me start by saying that I actually love to cook. However, being an adult means that cooking is typically not a leisurely experience where I am trying out a new fancy recipe, wearing a cute apron, and listening to french music. Nope, like never actually. This means cooking has become a little bit more like a chore and a lot less like a hobby. I think the biggest reason why cooking isn’t as enjoyable for me is because I have to meal plan, grocery shop, and do all the cooking (luckily my amazing husband handles all the clean up). Enter my new obsession, Hello Fresh. I click a button and 3 meals are sent straight to my doorstep with everything I need to have a great dinner for my family. I can finally relax and have fun in the kitchen again and I even had the energy and patience to let Elouise be my mini sous-chef! Lucky for you I have a sweet coupon at the end of the post.
