This is a friendly reminder to write down your lofty goals & dreams and check back regularly because it can and will come true. ⁣
⁣
Last year in 2020 before the pandemic began, we were looking for our next home. This is what I wrote down in my journal as my dream home. ⁣
⁣
✔️spacious enough for my family of 6 & dogs⁣
✔️private backyard space for my kids⁣
✔️a beautiful view
✔️close to Tess’ school ⁣& good schools nearby
✔️a nice home office space where I can work and write⁣
✔️my first walk in closet (still to come)⁣
✔️a loving & grounding home that works for everyone in the family ⁣
⁣
2020 was full of curveballs and loss, including my dog Bibi’s sudden death 🥺 but today I look back and realize everything came true (and more). On the day of the move, Bibi gave me & my husband a clear sign that she is here with us in this home.⁣
⁣
More on this and home updates coming soon. 🏡 As of now I still have to focus on my family and get this done. Being a mama isn’t easy, and you feel this so hard when you’re leaving a home you love to a new space that will hold more memories.

Rumi’s first time at Disneyland 🏰⁣
⁣
It was so nice to be back to Disneyland after being away for over a year and if you’re wondering, yes it’s still magical. ✨⁣
⁣
I love watching her world open up after being home with me the entire year. She likes to sit in her stroller to observe her surrounding and run around to explore. ⁣
⁣

I planned and hosted 4 first birthday (dol) for my kids. Trends come and go, but one thing I learned over the years is that a baby’s first party isn’t about the decorations, the food or the venue but leaving lasting memories with grandparents if your family is lucky to still have them around.⁣
⁣
My parents left back to Seattle but I’m thankful for another set of memories we have together. We got to take pretty photos against a beautiful backdrop by @bloomboxdesigns, enjoy delicious food by @hungrybearcatering and my parents even left a special message for Rumi on video that she can cherish forever. ⁣

One day when Rumi is old enough I’ll play it for her as a reminder of how much she was loved by her grandparents from both sides. ⁣

It also made me happy to see my mom excited that she finally has an occasion to wear a pretty dress. I want to plan as many beautiful events for her as possible while she’s still here. It’s always the little things that mean so much as we get older.
⁣
I pray that our parents stay healthy and by our side for a long time. You can swipe to see more details of the party ♥️⁣
⁣
Planning & design by @sohappitogether & @sohappitogether_pae Tap for vendor sources and catch up on my stories! ⁣

Avengers Campus is now open at California Adventure! ⁣
⁣
We are so excited to kick off our return to @disneyland at Avengers Campus where all the heroes assemble. ⁣
⁣
The new WEB Slingers ride is epic full of action (perfect for the whole family including little ones), PYM kitchen and Lab offer super-sized foods and supercharged drinks (amazing cocktail list here for the parents 😉) and you can spot your favorite Marvel Hero & villain at Avengers Campus and feel like an epic hero in training!⁣
⁣
You can find all the details on my stories and see how special Rumi’s first visit was. Thank you @disneyland for hosting us! It felt amazing to experience the #Disney magic again and we’re already planning our next trip!
