Mom Hot Take

This hot take is simple: take your little ones to Disney!

I know I know “they won’t remember” but I will AND they’re free until 3 so why not take advantage of that??

The trips get more special each time because he’s starting to recognize the characters and he’s excited to be there and see everything 🥹 it’s so worth it!

Wanderful Living with Andrea

This is what I told my hubby! If we weren’t 18 hours away and I wasn’t scared of flying, we’d be there once a year at least lol ❤️

I agree, and I would absolutely take advantage of it. You have the ability to take those pictures and save it for them later on in life. This is when they’re gonna enjoy the most.
