🌊 #AD I mean, if you’ve been watching stories around lately…you know the dishes are my least favorite task but with all this unexpected construction, I EVEN miss them. Well this? Will make doing the dishes a little easier and lot more eco-friendly when we’re back to it!⠀
⠀
🌊Meet @finishdetergent Quantum. Want to save water AND skip a dish washing step? Finish Quantum let’s you skip the pre-rinse…which can save up to 20 gallons of water per load. And, gives you a few minutes of your day BACK.⠀

⠀
🏀Well, we’re into it. If you watch our stories, then you know that a couple weeks ago we watched the original High School Musical movie for the first time and…..things escalated quickly. Lydia is a super fan! We’ve watched all the movies AND the hit Disney+ series, and she keeps asking for more. ⠀
⠀
🏀 Enter: this week’s latest read from @DisneyBooks [ad]. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series: The Road Trip is written by Melissa de la Cruz and is a perfect middle grade novel (fun fact, @authormelissadelacruz also wrote the Descendants series). ⠀
⠀
🏀The book follows the characters from the Disney+ series as they take a road trip to a High School Musical convention and it’s ADORABLE (I read it before Lydia and highly recommend for all HSM fans - even the grownups!) It delivers on the nostalgia of the original HSM trilogy, while offering fans a behind the scenes look at the drama that occurs both and off the stage.⠀
⠀
🏀The book is available to purchase now. I can’t WAIT to hear what y’all think of it!⠀

🚨Your homework assignment for this what can be hard to navigate weekend: 🚨⠀
⠀
❤️think of 3 thing you love about yourself⠀
❤️now, head to your phone. Set each of them as an alarm to go off at some point this weekend.⠀
⠀
❤️You are loved. You are worthy. Just as you are.⠀

🚨Now, what are you putting into that alarm?⠀

💕What lessons do you want your kids to learn from you? #DovePartner💕⠀
⠀
❤️I want Lydia to learn that she is important, valued, and for her to have a strong self-esteem. From birth into adulthood, I want to show my shine so that she can see hers. From simple self-care rituals to working on my own confidence, I try to show Lydia that this is a process. That we can ALL work on our self-image, and that every little bit counts. ⠀
⠀
💕I make a point of sharing my self-care rituals, including a bath or shower with @Dove products. I’ve loved their products for years and am incredibly inspired by the work they do through the Dove Self-Esteem project. I grabbed this deep moisture body wash at @Walgreens before our last staycation and brought it along so that I could grab a few minutes of self-care. Then, Lydia requested her own “relaxing spa bath”.....guess she’s picking it all up! ⠀
⠀
❤️Now tell me, what do you want your little one to learn from YOU?!? And how are you making it happen? ⠀

✨Let’s vote: Prequels or Original Trilogy?✨⠀
⠀
💫Can you believe we didn’t make it to Batuu at ALL last week when we visited the Park? Guess we need another day at Disneyland ASAP. Robbie still hasn’t done Rise of the Resistance and Lydia isn’t scared of Stormtroopers anymore (she was TERRIFED last year…..so that’s a 2020 upside!)⠀

✨ MAGIC IS HEREEEEEE! ✨⠀
⠀
✨Ok, we’re a little out of Disney-shape…..but as I sit here and relax, I wanted to recap some tips for our Happiest Place visitors after our visit:⠀
💫MOBILE ORDERING is key! We mobile ordered at 7 am and selected a time for our lunch. You can do the same for snacks. I’d set them all up in the morning (you don’t have to be in the park to set these up).⠀
💫Bring comfy masks, and an extra or two. Remember, you can remove masks while eating or drinking (which must be done while sitting). This was easy, and there were PLENTY of places to sit.⠀
💫Wait times for rides were low (they’re spaced out but moved quickly). The Snow White ride is refurbished and in my opinion a must see, so I’d suggest doing that in the morning (after 1 pm people can park hop and there will be MORE people so morning is best!)⠀
💫Characters characters characters! Be sure to visit the Royal Theatre, the princess interaction is AMAZING. I was really impressed at how many characters we saw. Locations we saw them: near Small World, at the Main Street Train Station, Royal Theatre, Toontown⠀
⠀
✨For now, the park is closing earlier (at 7 pm). I REALLY enjoyed staying walking distance from Disneyland at the Radisson Blu Anaheim and coming back here for dinner. The Skybar is perfect for an after park meal (and a glass of vino). So many of you asked about our experience staying here, and we loved it! The walk to the park was about 20 minutes, and very comfortable and easy. They have a great rooftop pool, a coffee shop, and we loved the dining option. Plus, with their Magical reopening package Lydia even got a $25 Disney gift card to spend on Main Street (bonus if you noticed in stories what she bought!)⠀
⠀
✨Now, what questions do you have about Disneyland? Let’s get into it!⠀

✨Honey, I’m home! ✨⠀
⠀
✨Since their beginning, the Disney parks have focused on four Keys: SAFETY, COURTESY, SHOW, and EFFICIENCY. This year? For the first time, they added a key....inclusivity. And it makes me even more proud to love this place and the magic makers who we’ve missed so much.⠀
⠀
✨Whether you walk, stroll, roll, or dance down Main Street........ It is pure magic.⠀
⠀
✨Now my question, where would you head first if you were inside Disneyland right now?!?⠀
