Ninja Mommy Hacks: Life with 2 Minions and lots of wine!

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.

Winter Wonderland! We just got back from our 2nd trip to Tenaya Lodge on February 11, 2019.   A storm had just dumped 4+ feet of snow and that was storm 3 of the season... This resort is amazing- here are some photos and your packing list: Packing list: Smores Items -  huge fire out by the ice rink!   Poles are there, just bring your cracker/chocolate/Marshmellows!  (Yes they have kits for sale $4)  Sleds & shovel.      Snow GEAR...  My kids wore a base layer, one more layer and then snow gear.    Warm socks w/snow boots.  They were FINE sledding down the mountain on and off the sled.   The tallest hill at the top, my 8 yo enjoyed sliding down on bottom (bc I refused to allow him to sled down and rocket off the entire hill to his doom).   **Note- they have a sledding hill!!!  It was under 6ft of snow and closed!   -sniffle  3.
