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

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

DIY Star Wars Nightlight

From the minute we first introduced my son to Star Wars he’s been obsessed. For the last ten years or so it’s been one of his favorite movies. He’s had everything from Star Wars themed birthdays to countless movie nights. He even has his own Star Wars themed Christmas tree in his Star Wars room. It’s safe to say he’s a pretty big fan. So it’s no surprise he (actually all of us) can’t wait for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story© TM Lucasfilm LTD to release this December. We’re literally counting down the days.  [Read more…] about DIY Star Wars Night Light

DIY Minnie Mouse Tank Top

One of my favorite ways to spend some “me time” is the few minutes a week I get to play with my craft supplies. I love creating things and DIY projects but with two kids, it doesn’t happen as much as I’d like. I own both a Silhouette and Cricut machine and have only used them both a handful of times. They’re great when I’m working on projects like this DIY Minnie Mouse shirt I made for my daughter. I really need to challenge myself to make more time to use them. In fact, I had so much fun making this shirt, that I think I’m going to turn this into a weekly series! Until then, I’m excited to show you just how easy it is to make your own shirts or crafts using vinyl from Pro World Inc. When they said they wanted to send me over some samples to try, I figured now was as good as a time than ever to give it a shot! [Read more…] about DIY Minnie Mouse Tank Top
