How to do Disney with a Toddler

While on our most recent trip to Disney, I got a lot of DM’s through Instagram asking me how we do it. We are by no means Disney experts (even though I grew up going to the parks regularly), but we do feel like we have what works for us down. That may not work for you all, but sharing is caring and it just might improve your visit in one way or another!

This year, Luna turns 3, which means she is no longer free at the parks (sniff). I already bought her annual pass and she has her first ever magic band waiting for her, so look out for a lot more Disney content over the next year, which is going to be tons of fun. Before I jump into our tips and tricks, I get a lot of people asking me not only how we do it, but why. It’s viewed as a very stressful vacation for parents, but we look forward to our trips just as much as Luna does. Why? Disney to me represents magic and dreams. It’s everything that is beautiful about childhood, and I want Luna to grow up feeling those things. As most of you know, I haven’t really lost that childlike feeling of wonder, and it’s definitely awakened whenever I see Cinderella’s Castle, the characters or Mickey-shaped treats. I want Luna to experience those feelings of magic and imagination, and I want her to hold them close as she gets older, and to me, it all starts here.

Modcloth Fall Collection

It’s not every day you get to work with one of your favorite brands, and I think the universe sent me a side wink when I got an opportunity to do just that with ModCloth just weeks into launching the blog again.

Their Fall line is absolutely incredible and I loved running around Miami Beach with my amazing friend + photographer, Lissette, to get some ultra fun shots in these rad outfits. I mean – raptor sweater? I’m all in.

Harry Potter Target Event

Being a geeky mom, it’s hard to come by geek-centric events in Miami that are appropriate for the kiddos too, but leave it to Target to do the job. Firstly mamas, did you know that Target has kid friendly events scheduled every month? Check and see what they are and what stores near you participate here. This month was Harry Potter themed, so you know the bestie and I trekked to a Target 15 minutes away just to attend (our home Target wasn’t participating – such muggle behavior).

How To: Fandom Jacket

First off, HI everyone! I am back to blogging and am so happy to be here, sharing the things I love with you all. Look forward to lots of fun DIY’s, coverage of Miami geek-centric events and, as always, geeky fun + fashion! With that said, I’m launching into something I’ve really gotten into lately when I want to stand out with something unique: customizing vests/jackets. As you all know, I rocked my very first “fandom jacket” last year at SDCC, and since then, I’ve wanted to have several different themed jackets and vests depending on the event/location/mood. I started on a motherhood vest late last year, and just started on my Disney one.

Reason I like making these is because with all the geeky pop culture merch flying out of seemingly everywhere and anywhere lately, it is hard to stand out with something original at times. I like thinking that with one of these, no one will have my exact outfit, and that makes me feel pretty special. They are also so fun to put together! So fun, I decided to share my process with all of you!

The Purple WOman

You are probably aware at this point that I have a slight David Tennant obsession. It started way back when (seriously, I don’t even know when), and have loved all his characters ever since. Needless to say, I think he was great in Jessica Jones as the not-so-nice Purple Man, and am beyond hyped to see that he will be making a return in one way or another in this new season (which drops this week – gah!). I wanted to style an outfit around his super-suave purple ensembles for both the premiere and this month’s Geeky Fashion Bloggers Alliance challenge (Marvel Villains).  Fun fact? As I was going down the escalator in the Hilton at San Diego Comic Con, David Tennant was chilling down below. I went full freeze and could not bring myself to go up to him. Instead I stared like a creeper from a few feet away because that’s so charming and effective.

That’s me, folks. That’s me.
