Hack-how I get my kids to brush their teeth 2x a day..

Oral-B has an app- it's a Disney timer- each time they brush for 2 minutes they unlock a sticker. Each sticker set comes with it's own digital book. First is Monsters U, then Frozen is unlocked... next Star Wars.

Kids LOVE it! I leave the iPad in their restroom all week long because that's the ONLY time during the week the iPad is used.

Here is the link to the app: https://oralb.com/en-us/product-collections/disney-magic-timer-app

(I receive NOTHING for this endorsement. I do not make any money off my blog...)

Disneyland in the Rain with kids- here is your Ninja packing list:

Rainy days are the BEST days to go--- no lines- literally you can walk on to everything! How to do Disney in the rain: 1) Everyone in 2 layers. (thermal for kids) 2) Ponchos for the adults! $5 at Walmart! Buy an extra for the stroller- cover it well when you have it parked. 3) Towels- when rides are wet and you are NOT because of your 2 layers and poncho, you don't want to get wet right?! So put the towel down and sit on it. 4) Mattress waterproof crib pads- to cover legs of kid in stroller! You see the purple rain boots- those are my 4 year olds. Mattress pad (the baby ones at Walmart that fit a crib) over his legs. Poncho on top. 5) Waterproof shoes for ALL! (double socks) 6) a GOOD Weather app that tells you when RAIN is going to start. We figured out the heavy rain was coming at 11am-2pm--so we left to take naps during that time. 7) Change of clothing- in case you get too wet. 8) a GREAT attitude of adventure. You will get wet.. you will.

The NinjaMom's guide to a Princess Alaska cruise with kids!

I took my 7 year old and 3 year old up to Anchorage Alaska and boarded the Coral Princess Ship in Whittier- we spent 7 days going southbound to Vancouver. Here is all of my tidbits... the good and the bad: Lets start with the good: 1) The bed is the MOST comfortable thing ever! I wanted to take it home, my happy place was IN BED on the boat! They even have a flyer that talks about the amazing mattresses! (on my Christmas list) 2) Nature! Princess does the nature of Alaska right! The Naturalist on board (Gloeta) was amazing. The ship brought on Rangers in Glacier Bay National Park (Where only 2 boats get to enter a day and very FEW companies have access to this National Park) there were many bridge wildlife talks, and lectures on Glaciers and Whales. Princess does an amazing job on bringing Alaska alive to you! (No, you do NOT need a balcony. I had a window, and it was perfect on deck 5. If you can afford it, great.. but I chose to spend more money on excur

My Do's and Don'ts: Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim, Ca (you can bring wine)

**I get nothing for this post, I paid full price for our room. You know me, I am all about giving advice when traveling... I hope this is helpful: July 5-7 we were at the 2nd Happiest Place in Anaheim, Great Wolf Lodge (GWL). Holiday weekend, you would think to steer clear...NOPE! Do it!!!!!! .. this is a GREAT vacation! Imagine a large hotel room (we upgraded to the bunk bed cabin style for the kids). They get own section of the room in a themed bunk bed with own TV (it's a BUNK bed, just do it). Imagine a HUGE water park with lots to do, and not long lines... because only those staying at the hotel can go to the water park.. the longest line we waited in for a tube slide was 10 minutes. They have a lagoon area for the tiny tots, a HUGE play slide area for the pre-schoolers, and the rest for big kids (48inches) and bigger. Money saving tip- get the cheaper room, and book 60+ days in advance. I found rates for $175 a night! That is half what I paid! Her
