9 Reasons Stay At Home Moms Have the Hardest* Job Ever

I am asked way too often "what do you do all day" or some derivative of that. Now, the question holder doesn't mean harm nor does he mean to be offensive. It takes me a few seconds of mental coaching before I can open my mouth to answer. I usually just give a general description of my day, but it's plainly obvious that this person has NO clue what it's like to be a stay-at-home-mom.

6:00am: my son wakes up usually screaming "mommy"
6:02am: I glare angerily at the clock
6:05am: I leave my cozy bed and take my son downstairs
6:06am: I try to calm my son down as he throws a tantrum because the cup he wanted is dirty

Wait, wait.. This is not that kind of post.

For the First Time in Forever: A "Frozen" Sing-Along Celebration

If your little one (or you) loves to sing "Let It Go" at the top of her lungs, then this is a show that you cannot miss. You need to get a Fastpass and then return for the designated show time. While the majority of the show is two "historians" retelling the story of Elsa and Anna's journey in Frozen, the characters do make a brief appearance.

Flying Alone with Two Young Children

Last year, I decided to take a trip across the country from California to Ohio to visit family. Unfortunately, my husband was not able to join me so I had to make the trip on my own. Luckily, my parents were going to be in Ohio already so I would have some help once the plane landed. Here's how I got through the 4 1/2 hour flight with a three year old and a one year old by myself.

8 Easy and Cheap Frozen Themed Birthday Party Ideas

For my daughter's fourth birthday party, she requested a Frozen themed party. What? Shocker, I know.

Two Disneyland Tickets for (practically) the Price of One!

Are you a Southern California resident (zip codes 90000-93599)? If the answer is yes, then you are eligible for the special offer going on right now for Disneyland tickets.

As you may have heard, Disneyland just raised their price to $99 for a one day/one park ticket.  Yikes! Well, here's one way you can get two days at a DEEP discount if you're a Southern California resident.

Right now, you can purchase a two day ticket valid for one park each day for $139 on Disneyland's website. What's the catch, you ask?

• You cannot go to both parks on the same day; but you can upgrade to a two day hopper ticket for $39 per ticket. 
• There is a blockout period between March 20 - April 4, 2015.
• You must complete both trips to Disneyland and/or California Adventure by May 21, 2015.
• You can buy a maximum of 5 tickets.

But wait, there's more. 

How to Survive Disneyland with Two Young Children

Being an annual passholder, we frequent Disneyland quite often. I am very fortunate to be a stay at home mom of two adorable kids, K who is 4 years old and R who is 2 years old. Since we only live half an hour away from Disneyland, we go three to four times a month. I've picked up a few handy tips for surviving what can be a fun but oh so hectic adventure.


1. Go as early as possible 
If your kids are anything like mine, you're already up at the crack at dawn anyway. Find out when the park opens as the opening hours can vary depending on the season and day of the week; and  keep in mind, the parking lots open an hour before the parks do. The park gets more crowded as the day goes on so going early will help avoid some of the lines. Also, if you want to ride the popular Radiator Springs Racers or meet Anna and Elsa, getting to the park early will help you secure one of the highly sought after FASTPASS tickets that can sell out within only a couple of hours after the park opens (a FASTPASS ticket is required to meet Anna and Elsa).
