❄️Ok, LOOK AT THE SNOW!!!!Let’s be honest, So Cal kids don’t exactly see it often……and I thought Lydia was going to lose it. She was so excited!Longer Explanation:We visited Knott’s Berry Farm over the weekend for Knott’s Merry Farm: their winter holiday extravaganza and it was so much fun.Our favorites:1) All things Merry Snoopy: the Camp Snoopy area is perfect for younger kids. You can do a meet and greet with all the Peanuts pals, see the Best Wishes show featuring them and enjoy adorable snoopy decorations all around the area. You can also see Snoopy ON SKATES in the Snoopy’s Night Before Christmas ice show (highly recommend, this was amazing).2) Santa and Mrs Claus: Santa is here, and he’s a GEM! He’s available all day in Santa’s Christmas Cabin, and totally worth a visit (plus they’ve got some KILLER treats in there). And bonus activity? Visit Mrs. Klaus’ kitchen across the way to decorate cupcakes. You get two cupcakes, and all the supplies to decorate for $5.99. 3) Let it Snow in Calico: check the app. It snows multiple times each evening and it is…pure magic.@knottsberryfarm #knottsmerryfarm

📚Well? Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids? Or physic

📚Well? Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids? Or physical book? #ad⠀⠀📖Do you have a middle grade reader in your house? This age is particularly challenging when it comes to books. They want big kid books and we want them to be age appropriate. They also can be larger and harder to carry around or travel with. Small problem but something that can be solved!⠀⠀ 📚We love this new Kindle Paperwhite Kids because it has KILLER battery life, is a great deal, and comes with a year of Amazon Kids+ already! This holiday season, it’s especially great value for money…it’s not just a regular Kindle Paperwhite, this deal also comes with a cover, that 1-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, and a 2-year worry free guarantee. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is $104.99 ($55 off) right now from 11/17-28.⠀⠀📖Lydia’s favorite books for Holiday Season are all included with the Amazon Kids+ membership:⠀⠀1️⃣ The Mutts Winter Diaries⠀⠀2️⃣ Don’t Call Me Christina Kringle⠀⠀3️⃣ The Best Christmas Pageant Ever⠀⠀❄️Now, what is YOUR favorite winter holiday book? For big or little kids? #AmazonKidsPlus

📍 Where is home for you?⠀⠀🌉We spent this week in my City by the Bay and it’s been the perfect break. We rested, we ran (made it up to 5 miles during my training runs), we ATE all our favs, we got a date night in (thanks Mom!), and….we got some new family photos. It’s been the perfect hometown trip (aside from missing the family who couldn’t come due to sick kiddos).⠀⠀🌁Now, my holiday to do list is in full effect, and first up? Gotta order holiday cards with some of these pictures. This was our second time working with @flytographer (we also used them to set up family photos in Charleston last spring). Flytographer has photographers in over 380 cities around the world, ready to snap your vacation pictures or your hometown ones. I love that their local photogs can help you to select the best spots for pictures, advise on timing of shoots, and show you things you may not have found on your own. Shout out to Haley who took these and was a total blast to hang out with!⠀⠀🎁If you want to try them yourself, you can use code CARLY50 to get a $50 discount on your next shoot (they’re also having a sale on gift cards TODAY).⠀⠀📍So, where did you spend yesterday? And is it your hometown?

💕Double Tap if You Agree that Experience Gifts

💕Double Tap if You Agree that Experience Gifts Are The BEST⠀⠀🧳Let’s talk trip reveals: sharing a future vacation plan is a REALLY fun holiday gift but….you still want something to unwrap on the big day right?⠀⠀✨A few options:⠀- print out a cute ticket and let you family unwrap it (the one shown here was a printable we found on Etsy)⠀- create a mini scavenger hunt with clues to the location and date⠀- wrap a small stuffed animal or toy that goes with your destination⠀- a mini airplane or car will give a clue about how you’ll be traveling⠀- a cute suitcase is a GREAT clue that you’ll be going on a big trip⠀⠀💫If YOU want to book a trip, THIS IS THE TIME. Undercover Tourist aka @themeparkfrog is offering their best offers of the year this week!!

🍂Over the river and through the woods….. ✈

🍂Over the river and through the woods…..✈️Ok, more like onto an airplane and then into a Mazda but….you get the idea, we’re home at my mom’s for Thanksgiving!🌉I’m excited to be up in the Bay Area where the leaves are a bit more colorful and the air is a bit more cool. We get to spend the week with family and have a ton of fun local activities planned. We’ll be in the City tomorrow (non-locals, the City = San Francisco), are hoping to get a good hike in on Tuesday, and will be eagerly awaiting for my sister and her family to arrive on Wednesday.🚙Thanks to @MazdaUSA for lending us this perfect 2022 Mazda CX-30 to get around all week. Robbie’s already talking about getting one when we start looking at new cars for him later this year! (and double thanks to @the_other_mk for the reel inspiration, her version inspired mine!)✈️Are you traveling this week?#DriveMazda
