The Happiest Place on Earth

We've returned and unpacked and looked at pictures and remembered almost every part of our Disneyland/California Adventure trip possible. It was such a fabulous trip in every sense of the word! The drive there was comfortable and speedy, especially in our new van! Our hotel was a short walk to Disneyland with a great complimentary waffle breakfast included. The beds were super comfortable! We were all pretty healthy for the entire trip, and we were at the happiest place on earth! With the exception of the 100 degree heat, it was absolutely perfect!

We left Phoenix Saturday morning and after a quick 5+ hour drive, we checked into our hotel, grabbed some dinner and started our first night at Disneyland! Kylie was so excited to be there and we went straight to Mickey's Toontown. Unfortunately, it was too late to see any of the characters, but we got to ride a few coasters and see the fireworks show.

We awoke bright and early Sunday morning on Eric's birthday, ate breakfast at our hotel, and were at the Disneyland gates just after opening. We started out meeting all the characters and Kylie loved each one, with the exception of Goofy. I think he was just a little too big and crazy for her. We spent most of day 2 in Fantasyland where Kylie fell in love with Dumbo and the carousel, which kid doesn't do this?! We headed back shortly before dinner and all went to sleep pretty early that night.

Monday, we all visited California Adventure for the first time. We had never been there and honestly I didn't anticipate much for Kylie to do there. I was proven incorrect immediately! They have so much for kids! We watched a live production of Disney Playhouse with Handy Manny, The Little Einsteins, and Tigger & Pooh. Kylie wakes up to watch this every morning so she loved seeing them live! We also spent a long time in Bug's Life Land, a great place for kids. It was all dedicated to kids and Kylie instantly fell in love with the ladybug spinners (a kids version of the spinning tea cups) Kylie laughed so hard all through the ride and enjoyed herself so much! I love to see that she's just like her mommy, part adrenaline junkie :) Another great part of this trip is that Kylie is exactly 40 inches. That is the cut-off height for 95% of the rides, which meant that she could ride almost anything. We gave her the option of choosing which rides to go on and she was quite adventurous. She chose to ride the giant orange swings which gave even my stomach quite the ride! She even rode Star Tours back at Disneyland and loved every moment of that too!

On our last day, Tuesday, we entered the park an hour early since we had a multi-day pass. We rode our favorites for a second and third time, watched some parades, visited Mickey & Minnie's house, ate some great clam chowder in a bread bowl, got wet in the waterland at Bug's Life and tried to stay cool in the 101 degree temperature. And Eric and I finally had the chance to ride Indiana Jones and Splash Mountain. We were pretty close to letting Kylie ride Splash Mountain with us, but decided not to run the risk of scaring her too much :) Looking back, I'm so grateful we bought the tickets we did because it made the entire trip less stressful and more enjoyable without having to worry about seeing everything in 1 day.

Kylie will be 3 next month and I think this was the perfect time for her first visit. She was able to enjoy all the characters and knew who they were, she was tall enough to ride what she wanted, and she did great waiting in the lines! I'm so grateful that we were able to share this vacation together as a family and we will cherish these memories forever. And to top everything off, my body cooperated perfectly and I had more energy that I've had in a long time! Both Eric and I came home with a chest cold and nasty cough, but we felt great while we were there. Here is a slideshow of our trip which I hope gives you a small glimpse into the fun we had and the great memories we will remember forever!

Restaurant.com 80% Off

One of my favorite places to look for great deals on restaurants is restaurant.com. They have a huge variety of dining establishments and you can get some amazing deals. Right now they are offering 80% off your order with the code LUCKY. This would make a $25 gift certificate only $2, or a $10 gift certificate only $0.60! Be aware that there are a lot of stipulations to use these, but if you know what they are upfront, it's no surprise. I have had great luck using these coupons, but make sure you read all the fine print.

Some of my favorite Arizona restaurants I've dined at with these coupons are Sam's Cafe, Armitage Wine Bar, Gallagher's, and XTapa Joe's. Any suggestions or favorites from my readers?

If anyone is looking for a double stroller, Shnoop.com has this double for $99!

I bookmark this site and check it daily as they have a huge variety of things they sell!

Safeway Living Well Promotion

If you have a Safeway Store near you (Randall’s, Vons, Tom Thumb or Dominick,s), you may have heard about the Living Well Catalina promotion that’s going on. Basically, when you buy $30 in participating items you get a $10 catalina coupon book that’s good on your next purchase. The best part about these catalina promotions is that you can use coupons to lower the amount of money you spend out of pocket and in most cases you can use the coupon for $10 off your next order to buy more qualifying products and get another $10 catalina coupon back!

Check out this list of coupon matches or more scenarios here. If you are just getting started using coupons or don’t have a lot of coupons, check out this newbie scenario . (It uses mostly printable coupons and only two of each.) Catalina promotions are great because they are an incredible source of savings for those who know how to take advantage of them well.

Disneyland Here we come!!!

I wanted to let you all know that our family is headed off for a vacation in Disneyland first thing tomorrow morning. My husband is celebrating a birthday and my daughter still gets in free so we're taking advantage of those savings one last time!!!

So, I'll be taking a few days off to relax and spend time with my family and I won't have access to my computer. This will be a good test to see how long I can go without checking my email, fellow bloggers, updating this blog, or anything else online!!!

I have several ideas running through my mind that I'll be thinking about while I'm gone, so I hope that you enjoy some new stuff when I return including Disneyland on a budget, buying a "new" used car, remodeling on a budget, and more. I would also love to have your input if there is something that you would like to see me post about!

In the meantime, please check here or here for the drugstore ads and any other hot deals.

Lastly, several of you have continued to ask about my health. Praise God I'm feeling really great at the moment and the new drug that the team at Cedars Sinai recommended is coming soon! I met with another doctor yesterday who is authorized to prescribe the medication and my prescription provider is supposed to deliver it the morning we return! I am still in awe of how the Lord has orchestrated every single step of this process and it's literally nothing short of a miracle how quickly and easily everything has happened. Thanks again for your concern and prayers and I know I'm on the road to a permanent recovery soon!

Starting today, Babies R Us is having a huge sale with some great value coupons. I remember needing those last few big ticket items that I didn't receive when my daughter was born and the 10% & 15% off coupons were so valuable! Currently, there are 3 pages of coupons for bouncers, car seats, furniture, pumps, toys, and more! Check out the link here.

Disney on Ice

If you recall, a few weeks back, I had the opportunity to offer my readers discount tickets to Disney on Ice presented by Feld Entertainment & MomCentral. In addition to the great package discount, my family was lucky enough to be asked to attend the event and a pre-show meet & greet with some of the characters! Initially, I had to really think about saying yes because the last event I took Kylie to, she was 2 and a half and in my opinion was simply too young to appreciate it. I made the decision to not take her to anything else until I really thought she was old enough to enjoy it and want to be there. I'm not sure exactly what that age was, but for her it was older than 2!

(It's hard to find that line as a parent between entertaining your children and being entertained by them!)

After our experience at Disney on Ice, I can honestly say that 3 is the perfect age for Kylie to start attending events like this. It was such a great experience and I think we adults enjoyed it just as much as she did! The show started later than Kylie's bedtime, but I prayed that she would be so enthusiastic about Mickey & Minnie & Buzz Lightyear that she would stay awake, and SHE DID! Not only was she awake, but I can't remember a time that she was so excited that she couldn't take her eyes off what she was watching! She's at the age where she is recognizing characters and movies & princesses, so Disney on Ice was perfect for her!

In a nutshell, the family from Disney's The Incredibles took a trip to Disneyland and ended up having to save Mickey & Minnie Mouse from the villain, Syndrome. They end up on exciting and zainy adventures in the various Disneyland rides such as Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, It's a Small World, the Tea Cups, and more! The storyline was engaging, the ice skating was action packed and the characters were everything you can expect from Disney! And lucky for us, we are headed to Disneyland for the first time this weekend so timing could not have been any more perfect! Now, Kylie has at least some exposure to what she will see at Disneyland and the characters walking around and the rides.

I couldn't have been any more thrilled with our experience and I would be proud to recommend anyone to go see this show. It was well worth our time and the money and I can't wait to take Kylie to more activities like this. The famous Ringling Brothers Zing Zang Zoom Circus is coming to Phoenix in June and I know this will be another event that we will definitely be attending with Kylie. She has been a huge fan of animals since before she could talk so I know the circus will be a tremendous experience for her!

And stay tuned, I might have another discount or tickets to pass along to readers so that your family can have as much fun as we did! I've posted a few pictures for you to see all our fun!

Easter Celebration

One of my favorite things about being a parent is getting to see life through the eyes of a child. It has brought a new excitement to some of the most normal things in life and I have a deeper appreciation for experiences because of my daughter. I am so blessed and I try to thank the Lord for allowing me to be a parent every night as I go to bed.

Easter was no exception!

Kylie is almost 3 and seems to understand things well beyond her age, so I'm constantly finding myself trying to balance communication with her. I want her to understand the meaning of things because I think she has the ability to, yet I don't want to confuse her either.

Easter is one of those holidays that we can't fully understand the complexity of unless you understand the full story starting on Good Friday. I pray that we are instilling in her a love for the Lord and I hope that she will come to fully understand what that means for her personally. In the meantime, we rejoiced on Easter morning with a wonderful church service and a day full of family and tradition. Although I don't really know where the easter bunny came from and why we do egg hunts, it's fun for a child to participate in. And what a blessing to understand how much God loves us and to have a day to celebrate that alone!
Lilly, Molly, & Kylie

The great outdoors

On Good Friday, Eric had the wonderful idea to take a family hike. Given my previous health state, I was a bit concerned to go hike a mountain without a restroom every 50 feet, but I asked the Lord to give me a break and He did! It was an amazing morning on Pinnacle Peak Mountain and I couldn't believe all the people that were hiking. I had never seen it so busy.

Not only was it a fun time to enjoy the outdoors, it was also a great excuse to experiment with our new camera. Honestly, I think Eric has a more natural tendency towards taking wonderful photos and I think I'm going to have a lot to learn from him!
Here are a few photos of our wonderful hike on Pinnacle Peak Mountain.
