What’s In My ‘Super Be’ Bag: Disney Day!

August 22, 2017 ·

With J gone all last weekend and the end of major AP blackout dates coming to a close, I took full advantage and took the kids SOLO to Disneyland 3 out of 4 days!  When I plan longer Disney Days, (anything over 4hrs for us), I end up using my City Mini Double GT stroller.  It has 2 fully reclinable seats and excellent maneuverability.  However, this style stroller poses some storage issues I wasn’t used to with my Uppababy Vista.  Mainly that you cannot access the storage basket underneath the seats very easily, especially not with kids sitting in the seats.  Also, it is back heavy, so any substantial weight (or kids standing/climbing) can cause it to tip backwards.  For Disney now, there are strict security measures in place, and you need to take everything out from under the stroller and have all bags inspected.  While a backpack easily solves this issue, when it is hot and I am flying solo with both kids, I prefer to carry as little on me, as possible.

I have recently purchased some Jujube Super Be tote bags, and it has quickly become my favorite bag for Disney!  I pack EVERYTHING in a Super Be bag and set it in one side of the stroller, or on double hooks on the handlebar (only with both kids securely sitting in the stroller).  

After we clear security, I can easily put bulky items, and organized Be Set or Be Quick pieces underneath the basket!  I can even then leave the Super Be hanging from the stroller bar with light items that I constantly need access to (“hello wipes!”) or shove the whole thing under the basket as well.  It weighs virtually nothing and hardly takes any space.  This Mary Poppins bag is simply amazing.  Take a look at everything I packed inside for a day!

Ears (bc, duh), Fuel Cell (2 thermos bottles, 2 milk cartons, 2 applesauce pouches, and a small Be Set piece with medicine and first aid supplies), small Be Set piece with “mom stuff”, snacks, large Be Set piece (snacks), two Be Quicks (diapers + change mat; spare clothes), wipes pouch, Travelon Cube (swimsuits for the splash pad), sunscreen, muslin blankets (mouse & medallion).

I ended up having some spare space and stuck a pair of leggings and sweatshirt for myself (in case temps dropped).

Another day, another Super Be!

What do you think of my packing and how versatile this Super Be tote is?!

** All items were purchased by myself, and all opinions are my own.  Each stroller has its own safety regulations and weight capacities.  Please check and ensure safety before using on your own. **

Rose Gold Minnie Ears, Exclusive Mug, and Alex + Ani bangle

August 21, 2017 ·

The pair of ears that have gone viral and has every “basic girl” clamoring to get their hands on for a Disney trip!  In the span of one morning, I must have had at least half a dozen shares in my FB feed regarding these lovely beauties!  I’ve already been bitten by the rose-gold love, LOVE bracelet and Maya Brenner necklace that never come off, are both in RG and I fall more and more in love.  Hint* Hint* to the hubby:  I’m pretty sure I need this RG diamond stacking ring next! > <

Twinning with my Minnie-Me!

The “infamous” picture c/o @StylebyMagic:

Although the elusive ears seem to be sold out company-wide until estimated October, because of some awesome sleuthing and fast feet, my mama bestie managed to score us twinning sets!  Love her for it!  If you’re still on the hunt for a pair, I have a feeling they’ll come out sooner than CMs are guessing, perhaps Mid-September?  They always seem to try and overestimate wait times, as happened with the Rose Tumblers!  And since they are so popular, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a main stock item for a decent length of time.

I was also on the hunt for the new exclusive Starbucks mug, featuring the carousel!  It is only available (so far) at the Starbucks on Main Street, inside of Disneyland. It took about a week of checking back, but it was finally restocked!

After a year of back and forth, window-gazing at the Disney Alex + Ani bangles, I’ve finally bit the bullet and picked up my first [Disney] one.  My only hesitation had been about the clanging of bangles potentially waking up my super-light-sleepers.  I used to love donning stacks of bangles, until I birthed a baby snake that would wake at the drop of a pin or a sliver of light.  Every once in awhile though, I still like to pile on a stack of arm candy!  The hardest part was to choose which one first to get!  Kaitlyn helped me choose this Magical one! Loving all my recent Disney purchases.  #disneytakesallmymoney
