(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Too Much Joy Too Handle
December 1, 2010 in All Posts, characters, disneyland resort, grand californian, photography
If you looked up “Disney Magic” in the Disney Dictionary, these three pictures would be featured. It would be impossible to photograph more joy than what’s in these pictures. Connor is in love with Mickey and I think I fell in love with Mickey all over again in this moment. I cried…really cried. It was magic. Location: Grand Californian ballroom, Mom Blogger Holiday Party

Monday Must Have: Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller
November 29, 2010 in All Posts, babies & toddlers, favorite products, review
For today’s Monday Must Have, I am happy to share with you the Twin Triumph stroller by Maclaren. Maclaren was kind enough to supply me with this lean, green strolling machine for the CHOC Walk so that I wouldn’t have to push my monsterous Sit n’ Stand for 3.2 miles. What a blessing! What makes this product great? Pushing one kid is tough enough, but pushing two kids is downright exhausting. The baby weighs about 17 pounds and my middle son weighs about 32 pounds. Pushing almost 50 pounds of anything around is tough, and quite frankly at this...

Legoland Review – Is it right for you?
November 17, 2010 in All Posts, other so cal tourist attractions
In September, my family and I spent the weekend in Carlsbad near Legoland. For those of you who don’t regularly follow my blog, we have three boys who at the time were 5 years, 3 years, and 5 months. We arrived in Legoland from L.A. just before the park opened on a Saturday morning. This was our first trip and because we have two children who are already crazy for Legos, we had really high expectations for our trip. There are two water-play areas in Legoland. Legoland is not a huge park and can easily be done in one...
Behind the scenes look at my Disneyland video shoot
November 16, 2010 in All Posts, disneyland, disneyland resort, video
First, I have to apologize for not posting in a while. My MacBook died last Thursday, so I’ve had to use my husband’s PC laptop in the evenings when he gets home from work. I’m a Mac girl, so I’ve been making my computer time brief. I feel like I’m chiseling this post on a stone tablet. That being said, I’m going to get to the point and elaborate once I get my computer back. Hopefully it will come home to me in the next day or so. Saturday, I shot a series of videos for Babes in Disneyland and...
