#Ad🍓 Head back to school with a scrumptious snack idea made with #Smuckers. Try mixing up your child’s after-school snack with these indoor Strawberry S’mores. My girls love them. Just toast a marshmallow, set it on top of a graham cracker and piece of chocolate, then squeeze on Smucker’s Natural fruit spreads. Real fruit is the first ingredient so you get that real fruit taste with squeeze-like ease. Top with another graham cracker and enjoy! Visit the link in my bio to find @Smuckers products available in a store near you! Who’s gonna try this? 🙋🏾‍♀️

We got engaged 18 years ago, after 4 months of dating then married 2 months later 😅 but it’s all worked out!

Next year I’ll have been married longer than I was single and that’s blowing my mind.

How long did you date before you got engaged? Married?

Which flavor sounds the best to you?

I’m gonna skip the part where I tell you which one of my kids was ticked I went to Disneyland without them & tell you how it solidified my plans to go back as a family.

I’ve been to Walt Disney World and Disneyland a lot, but neither for Halloween Time, and I have to say this might be my absolute favorite time to go. I can’t speak for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at WDW but Oogie Boogie Bash on the @disneyland side of the country? Incredible!

I’ve only been once now so I’m not a pro but I’ll tell you this is exactly what I plan to do when I go back with my family:

1. Be there before it starts, & first in line for a Treat Trail. You get to interact with characters from afar & you get SO many treats it’s ridiculous. There’s healthier options too like carrots and applesauce and other things besides candy. But seriously there are like 6 stops per trail.

2. Meet the characters we HAVE to meet. I’m a big character lover & during Halloween you can meet & chat with characters you don’t usually see like Bruno, Sid, those Hocus Pocus Witches… but honestly, the treat trails were my jam. I think my kids would love those more cause the lines are so much faster!

3. Hit up Villain’s Grove. It’s a neat immersive light, sound and even smell experience you walk through. Parts of it were reminiscent of walking through Pandora at night. It doesn’t feel overly Disney through much of it but it’s so cool you’ve just gotta see it!

4. Eat all the foods. Oh my gosh there’s this Mickey Mummy thing (NOT a macaroon like I kept calling it—A macron) that is SO good I had to buy another.

5. Watch the parade! Don’t miss this! Catch the early show then when they do it again go ride rides (see number 6). I didn’t realize there were so many spooky Disney characters I like. But seeing all of the Villains get their time in the… moon—is cool. A must-see. And since the route is so long it’s not hard to get a good spot.

6. Ride rides! There are so few people in the park lines are short so go take a couple spins on Radiator Springs Racers or even walk on to Web Slingers (we did! 😱)

Outta space! What I miss?

Thanks for hosting @disneyparks! #oogieboogiebash #disneylandhalloweentime

Milk and Muffins with Mom. A Friday tradition we'v

Milk and Muffins with Mom. A Friday tradition we've had off and on for years since we started homeschooling. #ad🥛 We usually read poetry, and always get some mini muffins that go well with milk! Milk helps build strong bones from childhood when bone mass is being built, and @OakFarmsDairy comes from family farms in the community. Grab some Oak Farms milk on your next grocery run, and support your kids’ growth and farmers in the local community! You can find it throughout Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. What do you like your milk with?

I am so glad my children are growing up in a world

I am so glad my children are growing up in a world where diverse representation in movies & shows they love is almost a given. I know everyone is still flipping out about new Ariel being Black but we were celebrating that three years ago (I can't help but be obsessed with the movie news updates). Just a few months ago Disney announced Annabeth, the main heroine in the Percy Jackson cast, would be played by Leah Jeffries, a Black girl. (We happily freaked out about that too). But between both announcements, I've realized how my children's entertainment options are vastly different from what I grew up with.

Just today Jayda asked me to sit down and watch High School Musical the Musical the Series with her and I was excited to see two Black girls playing Elsa and Anna in the Frozen performance.

Then Lee Lee begs me to sit down and watch an episode of Gabby's Dollhouse with her, where the lead girl is a cute curly-haired brown girl like herself.

Turn around again and Ty is getting the rest of us to join in and watch Camp Cretaceous with him where not only is the star a science-loving Black boy, his friends come from all different backgrounds.

Ty's two favorite superheroes are Black Panther and Sam Wilson Captain America. When I ask why he says it's because they're the fastest/strongest (ok that second part is debatable). But I can't help but think if it's also because he sees a bit of himself in them.

I didn't grow up with superheroes, princesses or even many characters who looked like me. But my kids get to. I hope as adults we use these opportunities to lean into these changes, appreciate a new Ariel (that is taking NOTHING away from the original, but adding to). I hope as parents we can lean in to change, and diversify our media so that our kids are not disappointed but excited, or even better: UNPHASED when they see a new character that represents a minority.

So hooray for Ariel, and Gina, Kourtney, Gabby, T'Challa, Sam, Darius, Annabeth, and so many other characters currently filling a special place in our hearts right now. I hope if you can't be excited with us, you can at least be excited for us 🖤
