Where the Magic Happens!

Coordinating for family to get together and go to Disney has been difficult. I am so excited to announce that tomorrow evening we will be on our way to Orlando. The kids are so excited! My husband and I are excited to see the facial expressions of the kids as soon as they see the castle.

Today we went shopping to get the kids some cute Minnie and Mickey outfits so they can wear. I even went as far as making these cute little bows for my Sani to wear.

I can't wait to share the pictures of our first time to Disney with you.

Well, until next time...Toodles! 

The Kiddos New Room

Yesterday we finally had time to start decorating the kids' room.

Our little boy and little girl are sharing a room in the meantime. The cartoon they have in common that they love are Minnie and Mickey. Therefore, we decided that we would decorate their room this way.

I had my husband re-decorating by painting the kids daybed from a natural brown wood to a flat black to match the dresser. He also painted a wooden frame we had to black to match the room. The frame has a Mickey Mouse puzzle I completed some time ago for Dominic. Perhaps I should go and find a Minnie Mouse one now for my Sanaris. 

While my husband was painting outside I was organizing the kids toys. In their toy boxes I found a bunch of Mickey and Minnie's they have received over the years. One of the girls at work also gave me some Disney snow globes and a Fantasia canvas for their room.

I have to change their lamps now to something that matches the decor. I think I will add some black/pink/red/yellow ribbon to it. I will see what I do with it as I go along. I also have a little black shelf that will be going into the room and I found these perfect little Mickey and Minnie figurines to make them their snow globes of each of their characters for that shelf. You can make your own snow globe by following my tutorial here. It was actually quite funny this morning when I hand Minnie over to my daughter she says, "What happened Minnie? You stuck?" hahaha. It was the cutest thing ever. My son, on the other hand, was not the least bit excited about this. He tells me, "I want Mickey outside not inside." I think once he sees his whole room pieced together he will love it. He is just like his father in that aspect, he needs to see it all pieced together to see the bigger picture.

I will have to post some pictures later of the completed room since it's only half way completed right now.

Until next time! Toodles! (yes, pun intended...lol)

I am back posting the pictures of the semi-completed room, we still have to paint and hang up a picture frame or two.

And those are the kids having fun jumping on their new bed after being told not to. Apparently they couldn't resist taking the pictures without jumping. :) 

Mickey Mouse Pancakes

My kids LOVE Mickey Mouse!

Today I decided I would surprise them and make them some Mickey Mouse pancakes.

I saw a picture on Pinterest that tells you to make the pancake mix and then pour it into an empty ketchup bottle. This now becomes your pancake mix dispenser. This helps to make less of a mess and easy to pour. Made it super easy to be able to make the Mickey Mouse shape without a hassle or mess. No need to spend the money on the bottle dispensers when you have all the materials that you need right in your household.

They were fighting with me to hurry up and serve them. My son especially loves pancakes. He always wakes up in the morning and says, "Good morning. Can we go to Hihop for pancakes." He calls it Hihop instead of Ihop, he's so cute!

Needless to say, they LOVED their pancakes! They ate all of their food, which makes me very happy.

Here I leave you with some pancake inspiration I found online. Go all out and create something fun for your next pancake......Your kids will love you...take my word for it!
