This kid. 🤣• •• My heart is hurting right

This kid. 🤣•
••
My heart is hurting right now. I so badly try to be kind and raise my kids to be good humans. I want my kids to grow up in a world that is fair and just. I can not fathom the hate in this world, everyone just looking out for themselves. It just does not compute in my brain.•
••
I try to make this a place of positivity but I also want to be real. I am human and you are human. We all have feelings and struggles; we need to be open and honest about those feelings and struggles. If you ever need someone to talk to this is a safe place. Feel free to DM me and we can help each other. 💕•

In the mean time stay safe, wear a mask, and remember to register to vote! •

Bringing some Disneyland magic home 🏡✨. Disne

Bringing some Disneyland magic home 🏡✨. Disneyland has been apart of our lives since we moved back to California five years ago. We have been to the parks every week at least once a week for 5 YEARS; to say it has been a part of our lives is an understatement. •
••
My kids milestones happened at Disneyland, the first time Natalie was tall enough to go on the “big kids rides” was huge for her and Aiden started learning how to walk in Goofy’s house in Toon Town. We have met amazing friends through our love of Disney and we have made amazing memories in the parks.•
••
We have had to make our own Disney Magic these past six months and to bring a little magic to Natalie’s room we decided to make the Disneyland castle but with pictures of all the memories we have made over the years. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it to bring some magic in our home. I have to give all the hanging credit to my husband though; he spent hours leveling and measuring to make sure everything was perfect. 💕•

We caved and finally got a Switch. They have been so hard to come by so when I found one I thanked my lucky stars and bought it.•
••
What really pushed us to get a Switch was the fit adventure game; we have been so sedentary at home and it was bringing us down. I figure this way we are playing a game and getting a good workout in at the same time. I actually ended up doing a workout last night and it is SO fun and I felt a little soreness this morning which is either a sign that I really need to start working out or I’m getting old (maybe both 🤣). •
••
We also got Animal Crossing and we might be addicted. We spent all day yesterday playing as a family it is was one of the best days we’ve had since March. While I grew up in the era of Mario I have never played video games; they honestly have never interested me and I always got frustrated with the controller. Animal Crossing has totally changed that for me; although I am still learning how to enter a door properly because it takes me about 2-3 attempts to get into a building 🤣🤣 (my husband finds it hilarious).•
••
If you need me I will be working on my island 🏝.•

We went on an adventure!! We haven’t been out too much but the kids definitely needed a change of scenery and a little mid week pick me up. I was browsing Tik Tok and saw this video of these adorable character cotton candy creations and found out they were local! These adorable cotton candy characters can be found in Huntington Beach, CA from Polar Playground; they even have ice cream and soft serve there too! Their hours are limited due to Covid so definitely check out their Instagram page for their latest opening hours. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and are open Wednesday-Sunday from 1pm-8pm.•

I posted our whole experience at Polar Playground on my blog (link in bio) so make sure to check it out.•

Blue skies, blue water, golden sand, and the warm

Blue skies, blue water, golden sand, and the warm sun; our mini family trip to Coronado, Sand Diego was perfect. This was our first BIG outing since March and it was much needed. We were safe and wore our masks the whole time and stayed away from other beach goers. The kids really just enjoyed being able to play and splash around in the waves.•
••
I’m thinking we might make another trip down to San Diego next month for my birthday. How have you been celebrating birthdays while we all stay home?•

I was wanting to add a little magic in our home since we are not able to be at @disneyland right now. I was inspired by all the beautiful towers on @disney_at_home so I decided to make my own. It sparks so much joy every time I walk by it. 😍

Happy National Dog Day🐶🦴🎾. Of course we had to share a picture of our favorite dog; I know Stitch is not technically a dog but Lilo did adopt him from a shelter and paid an adoption fee for him. So in our eyes he is a dog.•

Some of our other favorite Disney dogs are:
🎾Pluto
🐶Max from The Little Mermaid
🎾Bluey
🐶Doug from UP 🐿•

Who are your favorite Disney dogs?•

••
I have been hearing amazing things about the Costco Raspberry Crumble Cookies. So I bought a pack and let me tell you; YUM! Of course I had to add a little magic to it 😉.•
••
On top of the raspberry crumble cookie I added Trader Joe’s Vanilla Non Dairy Frozen Dessert and a Golden Kiwi on the side. I think adding a medley of fresh berries with a mint leaf would of made this dish even more delicious and also add some color to it but I didn’t have any on hand; next time.•

Have you been enjoying any special treats at home?•

Just a little throwback to Little Red when he was itty bitty and he would give all the characters his “finger clicks”. I’ve watched the video over and over again and I can’t stop laughing; hopefully it brings you some joy. 😊💕

They are finally here and I just gotta day I’m a big fan! Natalie just made her very first sticker and she worked so hard on creating this original design. 👩🏻‍🎨 She combined her love for Disney and her love for art.•
••
This design will be available through my Etsy shop @bigsisterlittlemr and is scratch and weatherproof. All the money from this design goes straight to Natalie. Thank you for your supporting my little entrepreneur. •

Let’s talk Disneyland Annual Passes • •• S

Let’s talk Disneyland Annual Passes
•
••
So our passes expire in about a week and I’ve known for awhile now that I needed to choose whether to renew our passes or not. So I called the Disneyland Annual Pass Hotline (714.781.7277) expecting to wait for hours to get on the line with someone but I didn’t even have to be put on hold (sad; no Disney music). I got to talk to Erin a Cast Member and explained that our passes were paid in full and we heard from a friend (thank you @skye.makes.magic ) that there was an option to not renew but to keep our passes until the parks reopen and we would be able to use our passes for however long the parks remained closed.•
••
Erin explained to me that was true BUT to get the refund we had to decide before the parks reopening date. She did remind me that if I chose to get the refund there would be no way to go back and change my mind; and also they will not be selling new passes or new tickets once the parks reopen.•
••
So for passes paid in full there are two options.

🎟Option 1: Do not renew but keep passes “active” until the parks reopen and we will have the same amount of time the parks were closed to use our passes (as of now that is 5 months). You have until the date of the parks actually reopening to decide if you want to request a refund or keep your pass.

🎟Option 2: Request a refund. With this option you can not change your mind. Keep in mind that passes and tickets will not be sold when the parks reopen.•
••
Erin convinced me the best option is to wait it out until we hear more from Disney. I know we want to go back to the parks once we feel like it’s safe but we also understand that Disneyland is a business and they are going to open as soon as they are able to. My BIG concern is that Disney will change the policy after our expiration date passes and we are no longer eligible to get a refund on our passes. My plan was to request a refund and put that money towards new passes when they have that option again. Do you think Disney is going to get rid of passes altogether?•

Happy International Friendship Day!!!•
••
One of favorite friends to play in the parks with is @thechloemai . We actually met The Mai Family through Instagram and our love for Disney. I love that the girls have such a great friendship and they are two peas in a pod. Not only that but Kim and Ricky are some of the nicest people you will meet. We are blessed to call The Mai Family our friends; but really they are more than just friends.💕•

Have you been seeing black and white photos on women on your feed? Why black and white pictures?•
••
While I originally thought this #womensupportingwomen and #womenempowerment challenge was just about supporting your fellow woman I learned the REAL reason for the pictures being in black and white.•
••
In Turkey women are being killed and THIER pictures are hung up in black and white. Thank you to @fairytalemindy for sharing the screen shots of what this #challengeaccepted is really about. Imagine if all the black and white pictures you’ve seen on your feed was women that’s lives were taken. Puts this challenge in a whole new light.•

What can I say but WOW I know some incredible women. It wasn’t until fairly recently that I found my real tribe of women. Women that hold each other up, support each other, and believe in treating each other with respect and kindness. •

To my friends I love YOU, I miss YOU, and I can not wait to give YOU a big hug. 💕•

Sooo we finally did it and cut Little Red’s hair

Sooo we finally did it and cut Little Red’s hair. I might have been a little emotional when my husband started shaving it all off; but it was just getting really tangled and Little Red wanted to look like Daddy. •
••
🤞🏻that his curls come back. We have shaved his head once before when Big Sister brought lice home from school (pro for distance learning, no bringing lice home). Thankfully his curls did grow back but you never know.•

Inspired by @jmaruyama ‘s artwork Natalie has started learning how to draw in Kawaii style. She has always loved drawing and since we are staying home we bought her a subscription to @skillshare . She has learned how to draw different styles of art; even from Disney Animators!•
••
@skillshare offers classes from animation, music, photography, web development, and so much more taught by professionals! You can even try @skillshare for THREE MONTHS for FREE!! This is NOT a sponsored post; I have just seen how much Natalie’s skills in drawing has improved and how she is really trying to find the art style she enjoys doing.•
••
What classes would you take? I’m thinking about taking a Photography course 📷.•
