Any time we travel, we always have the random rough day. Sunday was that day. I even thought for sure that since the kids had a good night sleep the night before that we would be good. Turns out everyone was grumpy. I guess you can’t win them all. The thing I always find amazing … Read More

It would be easy enough to hand them all electronics and let them zone out for hours while we drive. But our kids tend to get really grumpy after playing video games for even … Read More
On Tuesday, we finally checked something off our summer bucket list! We got the kids ready and headed out to Disneyland California Adventure. Our kids are HUGE Disney fans and we’d never visited California Adventure, so we decided this trip would be a great time to make that happen! Unfortunately, we didn’t get out the … Read More

Note: This post was originally written on Monday, January 30th. I am SO not loving the two hour time difference right now. Max woke up around 6 am this morning and Lia woke up shortly after. I really thought they would go back to sleep (especially considering how dark it is in our room!), but … Read More
