We had such a great time in San Francisco but what I love about the whole trip is that we got a lot of footage from these mini vloggers so it was nice too see footage from there point of view.

Leanna Jaide Turns 3
Leanna was old enough this year to pick a theme for her party, her theme was My Little Pony. Surprise was she didn’t know she would get actual ponies welcome her at her party! As everyone arrived at the party the kids started off with pony rides! All the kids enjoyed hours on pony rides and petting. We also had a silly string fight and played games in the jumper! The coloring station and chalk writing was fun and glittery! Jayden had a lot of fun breaking the piñata and all guest got Polaroid pictures to take home. So much yummy food and desserts and great laughs Leanna little pony party was a success.
My perfect plan
Many of you don’t know that it was a really long and difficult time for me and my husband trying to conceive. There were many days I cried thinking I’d never get the opportunity to be a mother. One negative pregnancy test after another, many trips to the doctors office.
When Jeffrey and I first talked about wanting a baby I remember thinking about how perfect everything would be and how it was the perfect time, I was young and healthy why not?
Exactly one year from the date we started trying I lost all hope. I kept hearing the voice of my OBGYN say if you try for one year and don’t get pregnant you are sterile.
I had given up hope, I had stopped buying pregnancy tests, I had stopped planning and dreaming. That’s the thing with planning it doesn’t always turn out the way we plan!
One month after my OBGYN had said I wouldn’t be able to conceive I found my self not feeling well and thinking I was just getting sick and I remember buying a pregnancy test to make sure it was negative so I could take cold medicine but to my surprise it was positive!
My prayers were answered, I didn’t know what to feel or think or say. Was this real? Was this pregnancy test really accurate?
I know I am not the only one with this kind of trial. There are many of us who hope and dream like I did, many of us who plan and plan and our plans don’t always work out. What I’m trying to say is that we can plan as much as we want but those plans don’t always come out the way we want and that’s ok, because in the end it will be Gods plan. Our plans don’t have to be perfect plans were gonna face trials and we are gonna face difficult times but I think it’s what we get from those difficult times and who we decide to face those difficult times with that make us stronger.
Infertility is hard it’s difficult it’s extremely emotional but hearing other mothers experience and advise helped me so much and I realize motherhood is beautiful we should all lift each other up and we should never feel a lone.
I am so happy for the mama friends I have now and I am so happy for @jujube_intl and all of the friendships I have now.
Leanna’s Favorite Disneyland Rides ❤️
Leanna’s favorite Disneyland rides! These are Leanna’s top 10 rides at Disneyland. All of these rides are appropriate for her height and age, she’s 2 years old about 37 inches tall.
Fast passes are always the way to go. Download the Disneyland app for wait times and fast pass information.
1.) Autopia
In Tomorrowland 32″ or taller.
2.) Gadgets Go Coaster
Mickeys toontown 35″ or taller
This ride is pretty fast so if your little one isn’t used to it I recommend holding them tight or waiting till they are a little older. Leanna’s only 2 but meets height requirement.
3.) Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
Tomorrowland; any height.
4.) It’s A Small World 🌎
Fantasyland; any height
5.) Peter Pan’s Flight
Fantasyland; any height
6.) Mad Tea Party
Fantasyland; any height
7.) Pirates of the Caribbean
New Orleans Square; I get asked this a lot and yes it’s any height to ride. The ride does have a small drop so hold your littles close. Also depending on age it might be a little scary.
8.) Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
Tomorrowland; any height.
9.) Astro Orbitor
Tomorrowland; any height.
This ride is really nice to ride during sunset
10.) Jungle Cruise
Adventureland; any height.
I hope you found this helpful like I said these are Leanna’s favorite rides at the moment.

PLGTG 2017
We had such a great time thank you Ju-ju-be! So excited for the release of “Hello Friends” August 15, 2017 which will be the new Sanrio release with hello kitty and her friends.
DockATot
Dock A Tot has been a game changer for our family! Leanna used to wake up once or twice a night before sleeping with her Dock! Once we introduce DockATot to her sleeping routine she was not waking up during the middle of the night anymore! We are talking about 9-10 hours of straight sleep! That means one happy mama. Not only is it super easy to wash and clean but it’s perfect for traveling.
We took a trip to Disneyland and stayed at the Disney hotel and Leanna was able to adjust to her routine because of DockATot!
So many styles and colors to choose from shop now DockATot
Enjoy better sleep
Zzzz

Don’t forget to shop new releases Key West, East Hampton and Black Petals available NOW! I honestly love them all! Personal favorite is the Key west!
Also got to run into some of my favorite Mommas like @Lovestalgia and @prettyinpinkmama ❤️
Used our Venice child stroller which we loved! Leanna took a nap in it at the show and was really comfortable. Comes in different colors. Shop here Venice Child
bObsweep
We love our bObi Classic not only does she vacuum, mop and disinfect but our bObsweep also interacts and plays with Leanna. I seriously can be cooking while bObi just roams around and cleans the entire house. If Leanna isn’t having a tea party with bObi you can find her playing hide and seek with bObi seriously the cutest.
Our current obsessions
Do your kids ever go through stages where all they want to do is watch the same movie over and over again? We are at that stage right now, Toy story has been on repeat at our house. I will admit I probably know most of the words to the movie! Also are gathre mat is a life saver when we are out and about! So easy to pack in our jujube diaper bag and go! It’s all leather so it’s easy to wipe clean! I might need to get more than one! Shop here Gathre
What’s your favorite Disney movie? I love Toy Story 2 “what are you shrink wrapped”
