Christmas Time at Disneyland – Pooh Corner

2,009 Comments

Christmas time at Disneyland is so magical and something we all deserve to experience.  Being annual pass holders, we are fortunate enough to get to experience all of the different seasons at the park.  Each October I always announce how much I love Halloween time at the park, but once we move on to Christmas, I suddenly cannot pick a favorite.

We were there right after Halloween and when I left the parks I was ready to decorate my house for Christmas.  Between the decor, music and snow at night you can’t help but feel like Christmas is right around the corner, Thanksgiving what?!

Once we step off of the Winnie the Pooh ride in Critter Country, my kids run straight into Pooh Corner for a treat.  I never seem to mind, since it is my favorite candy shop between both parks.  During their Christmas season,  they have so many adorable Holiday treats that it is hard to decide, so I end up grabbing a few.

Weekend in LA – Part 1

2,085 Comments

Recently my husband and I were down one kid for the weekend and decided to take a road trip to Los Angeles for the weekend.  Living in San Diego, LA is only a two hour drive away, yet we don’t head that way too often.  Considering how many times we drive to Disneyland, an extra 30 minutes is nothing.  We figured let’s do it!  I hit up one of my favorite Instagram friends Nastassia of Let Me Eat Cake.  I love her Insta!  If you aren’t already following @letmeeatcake on Instagram, you should.  She was so sweet to give me a long list of her recommendations around LA.  Needless to say, in two short days we hit up so many places, but still have some spots we weren’t able to get to yet or are eager to go back again too, that we will for sure have another weekend in LA again soon.

My husband, youngest son and I took off for LA on Saturday and arrived in town at around 11 am.  Our first stop was ICDC on Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles, where they have ice cream, doughnuts and coffee.  I had one thing on my mind, cinnamon-sugar doughnut holes.  But as soon as we stepped inside the shop, we realized we were not going to be able to limit ourselves to donuts.
