2019 In Review | Best Moments of 2019

December 31, 2019

I’d say 2019 was a pretty awesome year for the Adneys! There was a lot of change that happened. I started a part-time job as a brand rep and Mason changed preschools in the summer. Justin continued working as a fireman getting through his 18 month probationary period.

CA Great America visits in Summer and also in winter for Winterfest!

It's Winterfest at California's Great America!! Head to the blog to check out their winter wonderland and find out about their holiday park hours and how to get tickets! #winterfest #greatamerica #amazinglookslike #cgawinterfest

I landed some of my favorite collaborations to date and was able to bring my family along for the fun, for some of them. I love when I can incorporate Justin and Mason into what I love to do. Taking the family to Great America on two separate occasions this year was a highlight. Once in summer and then again for the kick-off of Winterfest! We had a blast during both our visits. Getting to have these fun and memorable experiences all while creating content was such a blessing.

We recently had a staycation at The Clement Palo Alto and I'm dishing on why we love it there and why it was the perfect location for Justin and Mason's birthday weekend celebration! Head to the post to check it out! #theclementhotel #theclementpaloalto #luxurystaycation #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel

We enjoyed another staycation at The Clement hotel and was able to celebrate Mason’s 3rd birthday in style and with 5 star treatment! Justin and I got a weekend away thanks to The Four Seasons Palo Alto and on another occasion, a date night for the launch of their Après Ski!

My biggest trip ever for the blog was to Costa Rica earlier this year to attend Sweat Reset‘s first ever luxury fitness and wellness retreat. It was such an honor to be selected to parter with them. The trip was truly amazing. I shared daily during the trip on social media and then recapped everything once I got home. I hope I’m able to do more blogging trips like this in the future!

We took a family trip to Hawaii which was so much fun! We stayed at the Alohilani Resort on Oahu and got an ocean view room all thanks to the savings I received from my wholesale travel club. It was seriously the best trip we’ve taken in a long time. Truly memorable! From hiking to waterfalls and botanical gardens, seeing natural wonders like Lanai Lookout, to visiting the Dole Plantation, we made the most of our week long family trip.

As far as the biggest blessing/accomplishment of 2019 for our family was that Justin just recently (as in a few weeks ago) completed his 18 month probationary period as a fire fighter and is now 100% with the department. I feel like this has been such a huge feat for not just him but the whole family. We have all worked together to help make this happen for him. Well he’s done all the hard work and we’ve just been there for support. I couldn’t be more proud of him!

I hope you all have a very Happy New Years 🥳 Eve this evening and a wonderful start to 2020!! A new decade means even more possibilities!

You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in m You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy

And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

5 Top tips for doing Disneyland with young kids: 5 Top tips for doing Disneyland with young kids:

1. Buy lightning lane passes!! Sign up for Disney Genie and get your lightning lane passes. Yes it’s more money on top of your already expensive tickets BUT you can maximize your time at the parks! Especially with young kids where you’re going to need to take breaks during the day for nap time. This way you can do more each day without the stress or wait in long lines.

2. When you get to the ride do a rider swap. That way your child who is tall enough to ride gets to go twice. Once with each parent while the other stays back with the baby or children too small to ride.

3. As soon as they scan your lightning lane pass for the ride book your next one while you wait in line. (Even though the line and wait is significantly shorter you’ll still have time to see what you can go on next.)

4. Take advantage of the Disney PhotoPass photo opportunities around the park as a family since the pictures are included with the purchase of your daily lightning lane passes.

5. Remember to go with the flow and have fun making memories at the most magical place on earth!
12 months of Cooper Ford!! It's crazy how much bab 12 months of Cooper Ford!! It's crazy how much babies change in just one year.
Happy Father's Day to the coolest dad around!! Mas Happy Father's Day to the coolest dad around!! Mason and Cooper are so incredibly lucky to have you as their dad and I couldn't have asked for a better person to go through life with. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
Cooper is 1!!! We had the best time yesterday cele Cooper is 1!!! We had the best time yesterday celebrating our littlest love bug. It was a challenge to capture even a few milestone pictures as Cooper didn't want to stay still and I didn't want his birthday starting off with him crying while trying to snap a few pics...so this is the best we got before all the festivities started.
