My littlest princess turns three!

She requested a Fancy Nancy tea party with her closest friends and that is exactly what she got ~ in addition to the good ol'family birthday party of course. She had so much fun being fancy with her friends ~ they drank tea, ate pink cupcakes, ate sandwiches in the shapes of tiaras and high heals, adorned themselves with boas and practiced their french. What a fabulous way to ring in "3"!!

Think Spring!!!

We are finalizing several of our Spring designs are here are a few of the fabrics we are using. We are adding some color and of course, typical dD flair. We will continue to release several new hair accessories each day as well as our new Spring designs as soon as they reach the studio. We can't wait to show you the new stuff ~ too fun!

Hair accessories....

You can start to think Spring with these new hair accessories hitting the dD site. I will be adding these to the site later today and tomorrow ~ many are one of a kind so if you want it.....get it quick.

Flowers are all the rage this Spring and Summer. You can put them in your little fashionista's hair "as-is" or you can clip to a headband, a simple tank, a hat and more. It adds the finishing touch to any outfit.

Few more random disney tips....

Anyone who has been to Disney knows that getting something good to eat is a challenge and getting good food at a reasonable price is even more challenging. When you stay on the property, you feel limited.....we discovered that there are places that will deliver to your hotel ~ all you have to do is ask! Some nights you just want to get a pizza and feed the whole family for $20.....call dominos at 407.239.1221 or ask for the number of your favorite restaurant at the front desk.

Sample Itinerary:

Day one: Magic Kingdom of course! Dinner at Tony's Town Square

Day two: Epcot ~ Dinner at San Angel Inn in Mexico

Day three: easy morning and back to Epcot ~ be sure to let your kids decorate masks and collect charms at each of the countries

Day four: Animal Kingdom and back to the hotel for late dinner...other options are Rainforest Cafe or T-Rex at Downtown Disney ~ maybe a good night to order the pizza :-)

Day Five: Hollywood Studios ~ eat at Mama Melrose's - get to the Fantasmic show very early or you may end up standing

Day Six: Magic Kingdom of course! Dinner at The Plaza

It is always fun to add in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, dinner with Cinderella in the Castle or breakfast with the princesses in Norway....for boys, Pirate training, yoda training....hmmm, have not done too much boy stuff.

Random Disney Tips.....

Minnie loved theMARMONT pant ~ given she could not talk, she had to use some serious body language to communicate how much she liked them.

Here are a few random Disney tips for those of you planning a trip....

If you go to Hollywood Studios on a night when Fantasmic is NOT showing, go to Animation Courtyard and inside the same building as The Magic of Disney Animation you will hit the jackpot when it comes to meeting all the characters ~ very cool! You must also go back on a night when Fantasmic is showing and see it ~ it is great too!

Also, if in Hollywood Studios, you MUST ride the Toy Story Midway Mania ride ~ it is fantastic!

If your children get sick while at Disney (ours did) and you are staying on Disney property without a car, Turner Drugs will deliver any prescriptions to you for a $5 charge if your doc will call something in for you. Their phone number is 407.828.8125 or ask your front desk. If your doc will not call in a scrip, there is an immediate care facility called CentraCare that will provide complimentary transportation to and from their facility. www.centracare.org or 407.938.0650.

Stayed at the Polynesian this time.....not our favorite thus far. Still prefer Animal Kingdom and the Swan over Polynesian. Also, I DO NOT recommend the Spirit of Aloha show at the Polynesian. Sorry Polynesian.......we did love the location and the ability to hop on the monorail!

I will be sharing many more Random Disney Tips as the week goes on.......for those of you care...

back from disney.....

This is a picture of a saying that is on my laundry room wall.....why not glam up an oh-so-not glamorous event? I share this with you because this has been my Sunday. We arrived home late last night from eight days in Disney World! We had a blast but are a little wore out. I am busy doing laundry, laundry and more laundry...

I will be sharing pics and tips all week on Disney. If you are planning a trip to 'the mouse's house', keep your eyes open for this week's posts.

deliciousDESIGNS definitely made quite an impression on everyone there.....my girls felt so special being told numerous times in a day as to how cute they were in their cool clothes....especially when it came from princesses mouths......too much fun!

No TV days rock!!!

As WAHM's, we always look for ways to get our very unrealistic to-do lists accomplished. Often times we think the TV is a good way to get 30 minutes here or 30 minutes there to make that phone call to the oh-so annoying cell phone company or cable provider.....you know the kind of calls I am talking about....the ones where we go through the automated chaos to be transferred several times to not being able to understand the person on the other line....and then, to be 'accidentally' disconnected.....yes, THAT phone call. Or maybe we are trying to check out email uninterrupted or hang out on facebook......I don't know who would do that :-)

Anyway, I find just the opposite happens when I introduce TV as my 30 minute helper. Today has been a no TV day and the girls have thought up all kinds of fun things to do ~ they have used their new sunglasses as inspiration to be rock stars and perform countless rock concerts ~ they have actually practiced their letters on dry erase boards and created several art pieces. All the while, I actually read an entire magazine from cover to cover after putting away groceries and loading the dishwasher.....priceless!

Now, I must go upstairs as I am late for my favorite mommy treat....mommy bath time with Oprah. The girls will be watching 30 minutes of Berenstain Bears :-)
