Is this a Gap Kids shoot or Mini Shock shoot? Really could’ve been either 😂 Addie had her first official team photoshoot ! Shooting a group of kids is no easy feat but with parents and directors hyping them up with snacks and water breaks, I’d say it was a pretty successful shoot.

At 5 years old, Addie is the youngest on the team and I’m just so proud of how much she’s grown into her own.

Thank you for shooting!

Happy Galentines Day from us 💕👩‍👧

POV: you hit your 1 year work-versary for the mouse 😊 we had our service award for our department for those that hit 1 year and 5 years!

I started working at Disneyland because I wanted to go back to work after being a stay at home mom for 4 years. Fast forward 1 year, you can still find me parking your car, loading you onto buses and trams, or spieling for you on the back of the tram.

I’m happy to be part of the first guest arrival experience! Cheers to me lol

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays ✨this holiday, things aren’t the same but I’m still grateful for my family, friends, and especially this one who keeps me going. Maybe this post isn’t as cheerful for the holidays but I think it’s a reminder that a lot of people are going through it (whatever that “it” might be) during the holidays.

A simple reminder to be kind to people and enjoy the small things, your circle of loved ones, and the things that really matter to you in the end!

Kaba Modern 30th Year Gala with my plus one ❤️ I tried out for Kaba Modern 16 years ago cause I wanted to be a better dancer. But I gained a whole lot more - a family and besties who I do life with.

A recap in my stories now!

Woaa Hi IG friends 👋🏻 I know…it’s been awhile since showing up on your feed..after 9 months of being gone, I feel almost ready to be fully back.

How you’ve been?

I’m sorry…I just left. I really needed time away from social media. Some major life changes happened and I needed to get grounded, and I could no longer fake it till you make it.

Wanted to at least let you know, I’m doing ok now. Addie and I are ok.

I’ve gotten countless DMs over the past months checking in on me. Some I was able to respond to, some I wasn’t. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get to it all but I read them all and I was so touched. Thank you 😭

I will be back with some long overdue updates and more fun content hopefully soon.

Thank you for checking in, giving me space and sticking around.

👩‍👧Hikarj & Addie

FAMILY PHOTOS PART 2 🍂 do you guys like this one or the forest one?! I love both for different reasons. This one is clean and portrait style, you can really see us 3, while the forest one is more scenic, moody, and dimensional.

Let me know below!

Thankful for our little family 👨‍👩‍👧 PC:

How about a little get to know the parents. Starting with FAQS ABOUT JEFF:

1) Is he really like that? Yes, yes he is. It never stops 🥴

2) Is he Filipino? He’s 💯🇵🇭

3) How did you guys meet? We were both dancers. We never danced together on stage until our wedding. No, we don’t dance anymore, unless it’s in our living room with Addie 👨‍👩‍👧

4) What does he do for work? He annoys me. (Ok fine, he works in higher ed/tech)

5) Does he want more kids? Yes, we always said 2 🤞🏻

A little glimpse into my everyday mornings while I pack Addie’s lunch. Meet Alfie 🐱 and Charli 🐶

if you’re new here, Alfie is our first furbaby, a tabby cat we got 6 years ago right around when Jeff and I got married. Charli is our 6 month old Bluetick Coonhound/pit mix pup.

I’ve always been a cat lady. So raising a puppy is a whole other ball game (let’s be real Jeff does all the training tho lol) and I’m a complete newb.

Have I turned into a dog person? Not sure yet 😅 but I’m definitely a Charli person now 🐾

GO WEBS GO 🕸it’s SPIDEY AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS presenting SPIN, Ghost-Spider, and Spidey!

Happy National Daughters Day 👧🏻Of course I had to document her first bangs and days later she’s still obsessed with it 😂 Thank you Genie

21/09/2021

Just a spontaneous night at cause we finally can. Looked at the calendar day-of, saw that there was openings, so I made reservations and we had a mommy daughter date!

We went from 6-11pm closing and had so much fun together ✨ Went on Teacups, it’s a small world, Astro Blasters, had dinner at Jolly Holiday, watched the Halloween fireworks, Pirates and finished the night with Jungle Cruise.

Just cause I know someone will ask - Because it was a Sunday, yes it was crowded. So we wore our masks 90% of the time even when walking around. Still had a good time!

Waiting for the Magic Key be like 🤪🙄

WHICH ONE ARE YOU GETTING?
We’re thinking DREAM for me and either ENCHANT or BELIEVE for Addie.

Let me know!

18/08/2021

Fall things I look forward to: anniversary (6 years this year), 1 year anniversary, Addie’s birthday, and then mine.

You know what I really want during this season though? Grace. Simple elegance and refinement. I always feel so frantic and don’t really breathe till the end of the year is over.

Been craving to just breathe.

What about you?

One year later this is still my MVP dress from . Even though I’m not an ambassador anymore, I’ll still share my love for them and their mission 💚

Alright Disney lovers, WHAT DO WE THINK OF new ✨MAGIC KEY ✨program?

I loveeee the name however cheesy it might be! The prices are right along the lines of what I thought it might be so I’m just glad it’s not more than that 😅 After reading through the site and all the fine prints, I still have some questions, but it’s pretty straight forward to me.

The free parking or at least 50% off parking is a big deal for us with bringing a toddler, so the top 2 tiers are the most ideal and it would make sense for the amount of times we go to Disney. The payment plan makes it kinda a no brainer. We’ll most likely get 2 different passes though, one low and one high.

What do you think? Worth it or nah? Will you be getting a key and which one?!

Let’s discuss Disney fans! ⬇️

Meet CHARLI our bluetick coonhound puppy! The newest addition to our Viray family! We’re now a family of 4 👨‍👩‍👧🐱🐶. We have some contenders for names but if you have some name suggestions, drop them below or in my stories!

To say Jeff is happy and excited is an understatement, for me I’ve always been a cat lady so im still getting used to this new puppy life but I love him!

HAPPY 66TH BIRTHDAY ! 🎉We’ll be back soon! Enjoy Addie in a tropical Disney outfit 🏝
