My youngest children turn four today. Four. Just yesterday they were little bugs and now they are big bugs with minds of their own and (strong) opinions and language and incredible fashion sense.

And they really like superheroes. I mean really like superheroes. They have been talking about having a superhero birthday party for the last three months.  They wanted to invite practically everyone we know to their birthday party. I agreed. I pinned. I planned. I was going to go all out. And then, with three weeks to the big birthday, I had no kitchen and half done floors and no idea when I might be back in my house. I caved. I just couldn’t throw a party. Total fail as Mother of the Year.

Forever and a day ago (ok, three weeks ago maybe?), I mentioned that I was taking a kids’ nutrition class online. Total fail. I somehow managed to miss every single piece of the class. I’ve saved the podcasts so that I can listen to them, and have intended for two weeks now to get caught up, but I haven’t. You are just going to have to wait on that piece of review. I’m sure you are on the edge of your seat.

dressing for disneyland: belle (the teen version)
dressing for disneyland: belle (the teen version)

When we left off on Tuesday,  Mom and I had finished gussying up a basic Old Navy knit dress for Théa's Belle costume. Abby's costume was a little more involved in that I was unable to find a yellow dress for women that was anywhere near cute. Or anywhere near something that Abby would actually put on. I know, I know. She's willing to dress like a princess to go to Disneyland, but really, she's most comfortable in a t-shirt and shorts. So that's what we found.

When my husband and I decided to take the kids to Disneyland over spring break, we thought they would be excited. You know, like kids going to Disneyland excited. The initial response? “Ho, hum. I’m a teenager and I don’t get excited about anything.” Even the little kids were nonchalant about it. I think Théa actually said that she would stay with Gran while we went on our trip. What on earth was going on here?

If you haven’t seen Frozen at least three times by now, you either don’t have daughters or have been living under a rock. For those uninitiated to the craziness that is Frozen-mania, the movie is the most recent princess movie in the Disney Dynasty and tells a story of two sisters (Elsa and Anna) that is loosely based on The Snow Queen. This Disney movie is unique in that (spoiler alert!!) true love does not always come in the form of Prince Charming.

inspired by instagram

I think I have a problem. Maybe several. But let's only get into the simple ones here. The first problem is that I spend too much time on Instagram. The second is that I can’t pin things from Instagram. Is there an app for that? Someone please tell me what it is. For now, my totally inefficient solution is the screen shot. This means I end up with a bunch of screen shots every week that I put into a folder on my hard drive for later and then forget about. Very effective.

I’ve decided to start clearing my folder out and you get to see what I think is cool on Instagram. Sound good? Excellent. Let’s get started.
