California Adventure Food & Wine Festival 2018

After celebrating Easter with our families Sister and I snuck off to Disneyland and California Adventure for a very well deserved magical escape! 
We used to go to Disneyland monthly before having kids and can you believe we haven't been to the parks without kids since 2008!


We got to the parks by 7pm and made a quick dash to California Adventure to check out the Food and  Wine Festival. 

I've been a passholder since 2005 and this was my first time ever buying the Sip and Savor Pass offered only to AP's. 

"Each Sip and Savor Pass is $45, and consists of a commemorative 2018 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival lanyard and 8 coupons, redeemable for select food and beverage offerings (excluding alcohol and souvenir items)"!


When you redeem your coupon you will get a special "ap" pin from the different food stations!

You can also get your passport booklet stamped!


We didn't have enough time to visit each food station but we plan on going back before the festival ends!

First up on the food adventure was the Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo!

I got the Grilled Harris Ranch Beef Tenderloin Slider with Chimichurri Sauce and it was soooo good!!!

Next up was Eat Your Greens! My sister tried the Grilled Asparagus Caesar Salad!
It was good but basically you were just eating asparagus with Caesar salad dressing.


At Garlic Kissed we got the Creamy Mac & Cheese with Garlic Bread Crumble!
So much yes to this dish! It was delicious! The garlic was present but not overwhelming!


At I ❤️ Artichokes we tried the Fried Artichoke Carbonara. Okay I need to start off by saying that I do like like artichokes but definitely did not like this dish. It was just to heavy! One bite and I was over it.


At Avocado Time I got the Avocado & Pepper Jack Petite Guacamole Burger! They only cook this medium style so that detoured my sister from getting on herself (she likes her burger well done or nothing).I tried it and really liked it but would go back for seconds to Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo for the slider!


We are so excited to go back on another solo trip to try the other carts we didn't get to hit this trip!

And because I am such a good momma I couldn't leave the park without take a picture with my kids favorite character ;P

Simple & Sweet Easter Baskets

I love putting together the Easter baskets for the girls!

I have two rules I live by when putting together their baskets...
1)Don't go overboard! 
2)Don't wait til the last minute!

I pretty much nailed it if I do say so myself!

I kept it simple and sweet :)

If I've learned anything about being the mom of two kiddos is that you keep everything equal! That means when possible the girls get the same things and so far they are still loving it!

I bought everything at Target and I bought it the first second I saw the items hit the shelf!



Pink wire baskets were $5.00 each
Bag of purple grass $.50 each
Large plastic eggs(3pack) $5.00
Tsum Tsum mystery bags $2.99 each
Hersheys Candy Bag $1.00 each
Sidewalk Chalk $1.00 each
Egg shaped Play-doh $2.49 each

So roughly each basket came out to less than $20 each!

Not bad!

What was in your Easter basket?!
