Fun Ideas for a Disney-themed Party!
Next week we are throwing a Disney Side party for some of my daughter’s friends. I am really excited to be working with Disney and Mom Select on this campaign that encourages people of all ages to tap into their Disney Side. You know the big kid that is inside all of us.

Here are some fun ideas to incorporate into your own Disney-inspired party! Just love the ideas people come up with – like the Mickey Mouse Oreo cookies by…

Keeping it Simple
The other day my daughter and I were at the grocery store and she wanted me to buy her this shiny red ball. I figured if a $1.00 ball could make her day – why not?! There is something about a shiny red ball that brings back memories of childhood. As we were walking back to our car, I captured her playing with it and she had the biggest smile on her face. It made me think about how children have such a gift of staying and being in the moment. Here she was playing with this red ball like it was the best present she has ever…

Instagram Inspiration :: “Your Dog has Dwarfism”
Sometimes people can say the darndest things! Like the time I brought our 3 month old new puppy in to our local PetSmart to find out about puppy training. I was speaking to one of the trainers about our puppy, Max, that we had adopted from the German Shepherd Rescue Group of Orange County. The rescue group is run by a great group of volunteers that have helped saved thousands of dogs through the years and was the first group we went to when our sweet Duke passed away last year. Max’s mom was found in a field alongside a Ford car dealership along with her 4 week old puppies. Luckily, she was…
