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

The Must See Trailer for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is Here and It’s Glorious

Everyone that knows me knows what a huge Disney fan I am. While I love so many different Disney movies, there’s one movie that captured my heart for as long as I can remember – Beauty and The Beast. So when I first heard they were making a live action version, I was worried. I know Disney does a wonderful job re-making the classics but I was still skeptical. I mean this was my movie. My all time favorite Disney movie. Would they do the movie justice? Would I love it as much as I love the classic? Who would they find to play my favorite characters? The list went on and on. Then information started to release. Emma Watson would be playing Belle. Swoon. I saw some images and started to get excited but I wasn’t prepared for this week when the new trailer for Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST was released. Oh. My. Gosh. The tears started to flow and I knew. I knew what was to come would be amazing.

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

ROGUE ONE: A Star Wars Story

Rogue One A Star Wars Story

If you follow me on Facebook, then you probably saw the excitement yesterday when I shared the trailer for ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY. It’s no secret we’re huge Star Wars fans (my son’s bedroom is Star Wars central and he even has a Star Wars Christmas tree every year in his room) so we’re pretty excited for December 16th to roll around. This time around I’m drawn to the theme. Rogue One is the first in a series of stand-alone Star Wars films.
