2017 Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Line Up

There’s nothing better on a Friday night than gathering the family up and heading out to the movies. It’s one of our favorite family activities, although with the little one it’s more like a Saturday afternoon event. Either way, movies are our thing. You just can’t beat seeing your favorite action movie or animated feature on the big screen. We love our movie nights at home too but there’s something about snacking on nice big tub of popcorn with the kids. Maybe it’s the night out. Maybe it’s seeing our favorite movies. Either way, we love it. This year it looks like we’re in for an even bigger treat with the 2017 Walt Disney Studios movie line up. Seriously there are some great movies coming out this year! Check out this awesome lineup. [Read more…] about 2017 Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Line Up

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

  • 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! As we gear up for a busy few months of travel and adventure, I’m reminded just how grateful I am for all our adventures. 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? Where would you like to go before the year is over? • • • • • • • @disneycruiseline #disneycruise #disneycruiseline #disneyhosted #dcl #dclalaska #disneywonder

  • 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.
