The Ultimate Barbie Christmas Wish List

Thank you Mattel and Barbie for sending these items for Kennedy this Holiday season.

My sister and I both grew up playing with Barbies. We had the Barbie Dream House, more Barbies than we could count, clothes, accessories, furniture, and more. I loved Barbies as a child and I still do. I loved dressing them up, styling their hair, and using my imagination to its fullest. Kennedy loves Barbie and has lots of furniture pieces, clothes, accessories and more that belonged to me and my sister when we were younger. I love to see that Mattel and Barbie make things that last for generations to pass down and enjoy. I wanted to share some of our new favorites with you that Mattel and Barbie sent our way this holiday season. Check out the video here of Kennedy opening some of the goodies. We decided to spread a little holiday cheer and will be giving away some goodies to one of you! Check my IG stories for more details here.


 I think playing with a variety of dolls with different skin colors, genders or disabilities helps children, including Kennedy, look for what they have in common with others instead of focusing on their differences.  Playing with Barbies encourages your child to practice kindness, caring, and helping as they play.


Kennedy loves collecting the Holiday Barbie each year. It's a joyous time of year, when everything appears to sparkle and glisten with holiday magic. Dressed for the occasion, 2021 Holiday Barbie doll shines in a gorgeous gown with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a metallic bodice that shines with sculpted "gemstones." Her full skirt glistens with silver shimmer, complemented by a voluminous tulle peplum. Silvery "pearl" earrings, sparkling eye makeup and bold red lips complete her glamorous look. Throughout this wondrous season, may your 2021 Holiday Barbie doll bring a glimmer of light, peace and love to you and those you hold dear. In packaging that's ideal for display, this collectible 2021 Holiday Barbie doll makes a great gift for 6 year olds and up. It includes doll stand and Certificate of Authenticity. The doll cannot stand on its own. Colors and decorations may vary.

Our Stay At The Disneyland Hotel


Just recently we spent 4 days visiting the happiest place on earth to celebrate the holiday season! We stayed at The Disneyland Hotel. It has been years since we stayed there and it was so convenient, and fun.

Toss on a pair of Mickey ears and let me tell you why you need to stay at The Disneyland Hotel.  You can watch a fun video HERE of our stay.

Tips & Tricks for Disney Merriest Nites


Tuesday night we attended Disney Merriest Nites. This was the first year ever that Disneyland had an after hours Christmas party and I was so excited that we were able to get tickets and attend for the first time during the first year! This was so exciting. The event takes place at Disneyland Park from 8:00 PM to midnight on the specified event date (Nov. 11, Nov. 16, Nov. 30, Dec. 7, and Dec. 9). Each event ticket provides admission to Disneyland Park up to 3 hours prior to the event's start time, so we were allowed in the park at 5pm. Disney Merriest Nites is all about enjoying the holidays, eating festive treats, visiting with characters, and enjoying 6 holiday parties in one place! I loved when we entered the party we were each given a Christmas lightbulb necklace. It was so festive and fun. Come along and let me tell you everything you have to do and see at Merriest Nites!  You can also watch all the fun HERE.

We're all ears for the new Janie & Jack Disney inspired collection. Children's fashion brand Janie & Jack has launched their third collection with Disney. We have been fans of Janie & Jack for years.  The quality of their clothing is amazing, their pieces are always so cute and I love the variety they have for boys and girls.  It is one of my favorite places to shop for the kids.  The new Disney line features exclusive character inspired prints along with comfortable layering pieces, adorable dresses, accessories and so much more. As a Disney mom I am always searching for cute unique Disney clothing for not only my kids, but for me and Blake too.  I could not wait to see this new line and I was so excited and honored to be asked to partner with Janie & Jack on this new Disney line.
