A Party Fit for a Princess

K turned 3!  Three years of my sweet little girl and it has been nothing short of amazing!  Even with older brothers, she is every bit of a girly girl who loves princesses, Barbies, and dolls!  For her third birthday, I planned a Disney princess party!  We decided to have it at our house with a few of her sweet princess friends from preschool.  Here are all of the fun details!

Oriental Trading and Dollar Tree had the best party supplies for this theme!

My sweet cake lady bought these figurines from Amazon to put on top of the cake- much cheaper and now K is playing with the princesses!

The favors were cookies for each princess dress- Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Tiana, Belle, and Aurora.  I got them from a local bakery!

The food on display with Cinderella!

Cinderella's Sparkling Princess Popcorn - delicious!

Tiana's Glitter Grapes

Ariel's Goldfish- super easy!

Chip's chips- also easy!

Sleeping Beauty's Fluffy Pillows- again easy (see a theme here?)

And Rapunzel's Flower Punch - really good!

We also got pizza, made crowns and just played while eating snacks.  I tried to make it low stress for everyone!  K had an amazing time and loved blowing out her candles!!!

I am so proud to announce that I am now a travel agent with Moments of Magic Travel!!!  After  many trips to Walt Disney World©, I decided that I wanted to share my joy and planning strategies with other families.  I LOVE everything related to Disney…movies, characters, clothing.  I love the feeling of just being at Walt Disney World© and seeing the joy on my kids’ faces when they have a meet and greet with a character or they are driving a car on the Tomorrowland Speedway attraction.  My goal is to share that passion with other people and make it easier for them to enjoy their adventures.  I remember my first trip as being successful yet stressful, because I was unsure of what was the best thing for each day.  I would like to help families make lasting memories and truly enjoy their Disney experience!  I started in June of last year and have already been able to plan several trips!  My services are FREE to all of my clients and they include booking anything Disney© related - Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, Disney's Aulani - A Resort and Spa in Hawaii, Disney's Hilton Head Resort, Disney's Vero Beach Resort...I am a full service, complimentary travel concierge.  Relax as I take care of all the details including dining, hotel reservations, fast passes, and on-line check-in for cruises so you can sit back and enjoy!

We plan the magic, you create the memories!

February 2018 Preschool Lesson Plans

So...I may be only able to do preschool lesson plans every other month.  For the last six months, I have been remodeling our home (two bathrooms, painting the whole house, building a wall, new fans/lights), starting a new business venture (more to come), and taking care of four children while my husband works pretty long hours.  BUT, I got February lesson plans done!  And W is so excited to really get into reading activities such as word sorts "like the big boys" (aka his big brothers).  He did really well with the -at and -an word families and his reading is really blossoming.  It is always so wonderful to see- I realize how much I miss teaching children to read in a classroom when working with my own children.  One day soon I will be back in the classroom...

Until then, here are my February lesson plans!  ENJOY! 

December 2017 Preschool Lesson Plans

The great thing about planning a second year in a row is that you get to use some of the previous year's material.  I had so much fun with the littles last December so we are doing some of the same things this year...gingerbread cookies for example.  I think we are going to do that this weekend so the bigs can also participate!

Here are the December Lesson Plans!  Enjoy!

And Happy Holidays from W and K!

Legendary Santa

We had an amazing holiday traveling to see family!  One very special task that I wanted to do while in town was to visit Legendary Santa.  I went to see Legendary Santa at Miller and Rhoads when I was a little girl and now he is at the Children's Museum.  Well, he is definitely magical because ALL FOUR of my children talked to him and did not cry!  That is a Christmas miracle for my little ones!

B told him that we drove 8 hours to see him so Santa also talked to me about he loved to see me and my babies all grown up- LOVE that Santa!  B asked for Legos (of course), M wants a skateboard (Santa told him that he would have to check with Mom and Dad first), W wants Paw Patrol toys and K told Santa that she wanted Cinderella.

None of them would sit on his lap, but I was so excited to have a picture with all of them and no tears!!!  My Christmas season is off to an amazing start!

November Preschool Lesson Plans

Sooo...I kind of skipped October this year.  It seems to be the busiest time of year for us.  It could have been the busy weekends, the house renovations (redoing bathrooms, painting the whole house, building a wall), my husband's job and busy schedule, four kids, church, Cub Scouts, lacrosse, swim, gymnastics...BUT I have completed November lesson plans for anyone to enjoy (just click on the link)!  Our schedule is tough so I tend to do it in pieces throughout the week.  

Happy Fall!!!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Professor Severus Snape, and a Fairy!  We chose this family theme because we have loved reading the Harry Potter books with B and M.  I love to do family costumes, but this may be our last year.  Hermione and Hagrid should lead the crew tonight.  We hope you have a fabulous day and get lots of treats!!
