A Castle for a Princess #DisneyPrincessWMT

20121210_112708 (600x800)

It's exactly two weeks away from Christmas and usually by now, I am in a panic. My daughter is not the kind of kid that asks for many different things. In fact, she rarely, if ever just asks for anything. So when she came to me in early November to tell me she knew exactly what she was asking Santa for Christmas, I knew I had to pay attention. This Christmas, all she wants is Mattel's Disney … [Read more...]

All My Princess Wants for Christmas is…Disney Princesses! #DisneyPrincessWMT

Disneyland Ariel

We knew it was coming. My daughter is five years old and she is a Princess-aholic. When she was a toddler, she would gravitate towards pastels and sparkles (despite my extreme dislike of the color pink- this became her favorite). When she was about three, she discovered Disney Princesses. My mom has the entire DVD collection, which she would watch with Sofia whenever she babysat her. Soon, she … [Read more...]

I remember being 9 years old and rushing out to see what was on TV. My mom would be watching HBO or something. I'd ask to watch my shows (Disney!) and she would always say no. Sometimes I would stick around to see what she was watching...and one of those times, the movie just happened to be Beetlejuice. It was then, that I became enthralled with the dark world of Tim Burton. Tim Burton, the … [Read more...]

As part of the #DisneyInHomeBloggers trip last month we were whisked away to the top secret location of the Disney Animation Research Library.  We were … [Read more...]
