Road trips. You either love them or hate them.

And when it comes to road-tripping with kids, we’re talking about a whole different ball game. #somuchwhining

I always thought I hated road trips. Ever since I was young, I really didn’t enjoy being in the car for long periods of time. Recently though, I drove to Savannah (a 4-hour drive) by myself and I have to say, it was amazing! Having all the control over the radio, the route, and when to stop was awesome. And getting 4 hours of alone time is every mom’s dream, right?

Anyway, back to road-trips with kids. If you’re looking for tips, I’ve got another blog post that’s been really popular on Pinterest – partly because of the tackle-box snack kits I mention in my post. These travel snack boxes are so fun for kids. I mean, who doesn’t like having a ton of options when it comes to snack time?

Here’s how to make your kids their own snack box for road trips.

DIY Travel Snack Box for Kids

1. Gather your supplies.

You really just need a couple of things to make a snack box. Hobby Lobby had these jewelry storage containers for $2 – you can’t beat that!

You’ll also need some letter stickers and some other fun themed stickers.

2. Slap on the stickers.

We did a Mickey theme because, duh, we love Disney!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Review

By sunshineandholly on March 19, 2018

Bibbidi bobbidi boo! May all your dreams and wishes come true!

I was able to make one of my dreams come true on our last trip to Disney. I’ve been dying to take Maddie to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique basically since I found out I was pregnant with a girl. (Honestly, if adults could do it, I totally would! #disneydork)

If you’re looking for something special to do with your little princess while you’re at Disney, BBB is something you should consider! It’s a super interactive experience, complete with your very own private “Fairy Godmother in training,” who will turn your little girl into the princess of her dreams. They have packages starting at $64 that include a hair style, pixie dust, make-up, and nail polish. You also get a super cute BBB bag, a sash, AND you get to keep all the make-up and the nail polish! We brought our own princess dress from home to save money, but the higher priced packages include dresses, crowns, and shoes.

5 Favorite Moments from Our Disney Trip

By sunshineandholly on March 9, 2018

Our trip to Disney last week was, as always, absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, there was Disney magic around every corner. And even though the kids were considerably more difficult this time, it was still a great trip.

There were a few extra special moments that will be memories I will cherish forever! Here are my 5 favorite moments from our Disney trip:

1. Surprising the Kids

We kept the trip a secret for months and months. Last time we went, Graham knew ahead of time and asked a million times a day when we were going. So this time, we decided to just not tell them. Plus it was so FUN seeing their reactions when we told them! (Check out the video below!) Graham can barely contain his excitement and Maddie is almost in tears she’s so excited! And how funny is it that she was so worried about it still being “night-night” time? Lol! It was 5:30am when we woke them up to tell them, so she was still pretty sleepy. We wanted to get an early start on the road trip!

1. Favorite Place I Went this Month

We ended up with last minute tickets to Disney on Ice and it was a blast. I was singing the entire time and Graham cracked up every time Goofy fell down, and he fell a ton!

Oh! And duh – Josh and I also went to Universal in early February. I’ve been so busy with other blog post deadlines, I haven’t been able to do any Universal posts. But I promise I’ll get them up!

My Favorite Things from 2017

By sunshineandholly on December 29, 2017

2017 was a pretty good year for us. The kids are getting older and easier, we were able to take some fun trips, and we spent lots of time with family and friends. Overall it was a great year!

However, we did have some low moments. We lost two family members this year and the sorrow is still fresh for those who were closest to them. I know Christmas was especially hard for them, and I’ve been praying for peace for heavy hearts.

Maddie the daredevil had a couple of injuries this year as well. Each one gave me a few (hundred) new gray hairs!

I’ve also been missing some friends this year that have either moved away or moved on. Which is tough, since I’m finally at a point in motherhood where I’d be able to devote more time to those relationships.

But with the new year right around the corner, I’d love to focus on the good things from 2017. Here are my favorite things from 2017:

1. Our Disney World Trip

Our trip to Disney World back in February was probably my favorite trip this year. It was Maddie’s first visit, and Graham was finally old enough to really enjoy it. It certainly was magical seeing everything through their eyes and experiencing everything with them. I love Disney so much!
