Last weekend bow ties, petticoats, hats, and pearls were commonplace at Disneyland, as it was Dapper Day, the twice annual event where you’re encouraged to get gussied up and visit Walt Disney’s original Magic Kingdom. Things have been a bit hectic lately, as we’ve had some construction at our home (that brown accordion wall is…

Let’s have a Party with Charlie Brown and Snoopy

January 30, 2020, 2 Comments

Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang are the icons of Knott’s Berry Farm, aside from the boysenberry that is! And normally the Charlie Brown’s beagle pal and the rest of the gang hang out in Camp Snoopy, but during Peanuts Celebration, which kicked off last weekend, they get to take over the entire park. Not only…

Knott’s Merry Farm is a Western Winter Wonderland

Last week Knott’s Berry Farm received a dusting of snow transforming it into Knott’s Merry Farm. I love Christmas, and honestly, Knott’s is the warmest, coziest place to spend the holidays when it comes to theme parks. Intimate settings, multiple shows, shows plus a craft fair make you feel like you’ve come to a small…

If you follow me on Instagram, then perhaps you know that I was behind the “unofficial theme day” Frontier Day that happened last weekend at Disneyland, a day that celebrates Disneyland’s Frontierland, and of course western wear was encouraged!

Knott’s Merry Farm is in full swing at Knott’s Berry Farm, and over the weekend a group of my gal pals (plus Patrick) and I went to enjoy all of the sights and shows. I’ve wanted a steer head jacket for years now, but they aren’t exactly a dime a dozen. The first one I…
