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

Hello Friends! JuJuBe x Sanrio

August 14, 2017 ·

As you might notice, the blog is still a bit of a work in progress, but I just couldn’t wait to share this post with you guys!

I’m SO excited for the first two collections I get to preview for you from JuJuBe!  If you’re not familiar with Jujube Int’l, they are a mama favorite brand of stylish, fun, and functional bags, with a CULT-LIKE following!  They began with “diaper bags”, but have really expanded into so, so much more!  Their bags are highly functional for anyone on the go, perfect for OCD organization, or someone who just needs a million pockets to stuff things in, like myself.  They are all MACHINE WASHABLE.  Can all the parents out there say, “Hallelujah!”? And best of all, they come out with limited edition prints all the time.

This collaboration with Hello Sanrio is inspired by one of everyone’s favorite modern form of communication: emojis!  Don’t the Sanrio Friends look so adorable and expressive?!The styles I have here are the Jujube Be Right Back (a.k.a. BRB) and the Jujube MiniBe:

I’m obsessed with this perfect mommy & me matching duo!

The BRB has quickly become one of my favorites!  The padded, ergonomic backpack is so easy and comfortable to wear. There are 2 insulated pockets for bottles, one for each kiddo!  If you have “curious” toddlers who like to dig through your bags, you might know my struggles with keeping things hidden from them.  A week in, and they still have yet to find the hidden top pockets and side pocket (where the upgraded memory foam changing pad is tucked away).   They also seem to miss the giant front pocket – a bit of camouflage magic!

I first fell in love with Jujube products for their organizational systems: Be Set pieces and the Be Quick.  You can keep things grouped together, save space, and easy to change items from one bag to the next!  You can see a glimpse of my packing for an average day.  Be Quick for diapers & wipes, Be Set Large for spare outfits, Be Set Large w/strap for mommy’s wallet and essentials,  Be Set Medium for kids’ toys/activities, Be Set Small for medicine/first aid kit.

Kaitlyn loves to carry a whole gaggle of toys and their accessories wherever we go.  The MiniBe can fit some of her dolls, a lovey, a beverage bottle, and then some!  It can also fit a binder, which will come in handy come Kindergarten.  I love that she’s finally old enough to start carrying some of her own load! #momgoals

Finally, how stinking adorable is the mesh, padded back?  A special touch Hello Kitty fans are sure to love!

Are you already a fan of JJB? Looking forward to this print?  Let me know!  The Hello Friends collection launches on 8/15 at 12am PDT!
