We’ve been gifted several pairs of Disney ear headbands and also bought some ourselves. The other day, I realized just how disorganized my ear collection…

My trip to Panama was nothing short of spectacular. Visiting the city, itself, was amazing, but our excursions were definitely my favorite part of the trip.

My dear friend Michelle has extensive family in Panama and is of Panamanian heritage. She often travels to Panama. When I met her, just over a year ago, I told her I would love to go to Panama with her someday. Then, a few months ago, she mentioned she was thinking about going back again…
Disney Parks invited us to attend Disneyland Halloween Time and Oogie Boogie Bash. All opinions are my own. It is officially Disneyland Halloween time! It is my favorite time of year at Disneyland.

Earlier this month, I shared my family’s recent experience at Knott’s Berry Farm. I also talked about why I decided to get an annual pass for my kids and me this year. One of the major perks of the gold and platinum passes is having unlimited access to both Knott’s Berry Farm and Knott’s Soak…

I received a complimentary trip to Disney World. However, this story about Disney World vs Disneyland is based on my personal experience and all opinions are my own. I live in Los Angeles, so we make trips to Disneyland happen at least a couple of times a year. It is one of my kids’ favorite…

We’ve visited a few times in the past, so I thought it was time that I shared a guide to Carlsbad. Carlsbad Flower Fields I’ve already visited the Carlsbad Flower Fields. However, it is definitely something I…
