DIY Winnie the Pooh Hunny Pot Purse

The moment I opened my email and saw the invite from Disney inviting me to the Christopher Robin red carpet premiere, ideas started churning in my head. What was I going to wear? What DIY projects can I whip up? What recipes can I make to keep the excitement and fun going. I immediately knew I wanted a yellow dress and I needed a purse that was not only small but cute. I couldn’t find any Winnie the Pooh themed purses for sale that I liked when it dawned on me, why not make a Winnie the Pooh hunny pot purse. I was already making a hunny pot dress for my daughter to wear when I take her to see the movie so why not just make my purse. So that’s exactly what I did.

Decorate Your Stateroom Door with this Printable Disney Cruise Line Name Tag

Disney Cruise Line Printable Name Tag

We’re heading back out on our second Disney cruise in February as part of the annual Disney Social Media Moms Celebration and the excitement is really kicking in. Last year was the first year, the event was a land and sea celebration that ended with a cruise on the Disney Wonder. This year, they’re doing it again, this time on the Disney Dream. Our cruise on the Disney Wonder was beyond incredible and we were thrilled to be invited back. For my first time cruising, the bar was set VERY high. Even though I knew nothing about a Disney Cruise, I threw myself into the planning and prep. I signed to participate in a Fish Extender (more on that in a bit) and I saw a lot of people talking about how they decorate their stateroom doors with fun magnets designed to look like their favorite characters. I immediately thought, I can make these myself! So that’s what I did. I even made this printable Disney Cruise Line name tag that you can personalize for your trip!  [Read more…] about Decorate Your Stateroom Door with this Printable Disney Cruise Line Name Tag

Beauty and the Beast Printable Coloring Sheets

Enjoy these printable Beauty and the Beast coloring sheets. Just print and color.

One of the highlights from this year’s Disney Social Media Moms Conference was the 8-minute sneak peek of Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast. I’ve loved this movie since I was a little girl and dare I say, it’s my favorite Disney movie. From the moment I heard they were making my beloved classic into a live- action film, I knew it would be amazing. I just didn’t know how amazing it was going to be until the trailers started being released and was able to see for myself. Once we found out we were getting treated to 8 minutes of the film, I immediately got chills. All I can say, it get your tickets now and see this movie as soon as it comes out.  [Read more…] about Beauty and the Beast Printable Coloring Sheets

How to Make a DIY Disney Cruise Fish Extender

Disney DIY Fish Extender

In a few weeks, we’re headed on an adventure of a lifetime with the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. This is my third time attending the event and I’m still just as excited as if it were my first. It’s no secret that I love Disney. We’ve been going annually for the last ten years and this year is going to be even more fun since it’s our first ever cruise. We’ll be spending a few days at Disney before embarking on a 3-day cruise about the Disney Wonder. While I consider myself quite the Disney expert, a Disney cruise is completely new to me. So I figure what better way to learn everything there is know about cruising Disney style then jumping right in. Over the years, I’ve read all about fish extenders or FEs and I’m pretty excited to finally participate in my first one. Given the short amount of time before our trip, instead of ordering a fish extender, I tried my hand at making my own. I surprised myself with how easy it was to make and best of all, it cost me about $10 to make! Now I’m going to show you how to make your own DIY Disney Cruise fish extender.  [Read more…] about How to Make a DIY Disney Cruise Fish Extender

Disney’s Elena of Avalor Inspired DIY Hair Clips

Elena of Avalor Hair Clip Tutorial

Ever since the show debuted my little one has been enchanted by “Elena of Avalor” or “Nena” as she’s referred to in our house. It’s one of her favorite shows to watch and as soon as she sees Elena on tv, in a store or anywhere she’ll call out Nena and it’s adorable to watch.  When we first heard that the Disney Channel was creating a Latina princess, I eagerly counted down the days until the shows release so we could welcome the newest princess into our home. The show did not disappoint and Elena has quickly become a staple in our house. I love that Elena incorporates the traditions, customs and even foods of Latin and Hispanic cultures. These are all things that Evie sees and hears in our own home everyday or when she visits her Abuela. When Disney sent us a copy of the newest DVD release, “Elena of Avalor: Ready to Rule”, I knew I wanted to create something special for her.  [Read more…] about Disney’s Elena of Avalor Inspired DIY Hair Clips

Finding Dory Inspired Hair Bow Tutorial

Finding Dory Hair Bow

One of the first Disney movies we introduced my son to was Finding Nemo. Over the years, I’ve lost count the amount of times we’ve watched that movie together as a family. It will always be one of our favorite movies so you can imagine how excited I was for the release Finding Dory. We didn’t make it out to the theater too see it since my little was not quite there ago wise to actually sit through a movie. Instead I’ve been counting down to the release on Blu-ray so I can introduce her to our favorite underwater friends. We did our homework and watched Finding Nemo to introduce her to the characters and I even made her this adorable Finding Dory inspired tutu earlier this year. Well our wait is finally over.  My friends at Disney sent us a copy of the movie last week and we’ve already watched it four times. It’s. That. Good.  [Read more…] about Finding Dory Inspired Hair Bow Tutorial

  • Still one of my favorite memories! Dale grabbed Evie’s hand and took her to roast some marshmallows on our Disney Cruise 🚢 to Alaska. Hard to believe that was almost a year ago!

While we’ll be seeing our friends Chip & Dale real soon, our next trip has us visiting Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and Grand Turk in just a few days. Do you have any adventures coming up?

  • Do you have a favorite resort at Walt Disney World? We’ve stayed at so many it’s tough for me to pick a favorite. Last November we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and loved it! The kids loved watching the animals, especially the giraffes 🦒. Our room faced the Savannah and it anytime we were in the room, they raced out there to try and spot the animals. It was such a stunning resort and I cannot wait to stay there again. In a few weeks we’re headed back to our favorite place. To check out all the #WDWFall fun! So stay tuned! 😉 • • • • • • #disney #wdw #disneyhotels #animalkingdomlodge #akl #disneymom #disneyfamilia #disneysmc #disneylife #disneyworld #disneyphotography #disneyig #disneyfamily #disneylifestyle #igdisney

  • #ad Ok ladies, let’s talk periods. Most women hate their period, but for some, heavy periods can impact their health and wellbeing. In a recent survey, 3 in 5 women reported at least one symptom of heavy periods, but more than half of those women (57%) never discussed it with their doctor. It’s time to break the silence. Heavy periods keep women from living their life to the fullest, but there are treatment options that can help. Don’t wait to start the conversation with your doctor.
