Meet A Fellow Social Fabric Blogger

Social Fabric blogger Tiffany - Home Grown Families

I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the Social Fabric community for a few months now and I am so thankful to be part of such an amazing group of bloggers. They are supportive, fun, funny, creative and vocal. Even though I’ve only met a couple of them (so far!) in person I can tell they would easily be a group of people I’d like to sit down with and share a few appetizers and laughs.

One member of the community is Tiffany Ellman (I love that last name; every time I glance at it I see Elfman and it makes me think of Christmas!) who is one of the bloggers behind Home Grown Families. Tiffany is the single mom to three sweet (and active, from what I’ve seen!) girls. I have been following Tiffany on Instagram for a few months now and she always shares fun photos of the things she is up to with her family. For example, they recently met the man who played the Scarecrow on Broadway back in the 50s! I also follow her on Pinterest; she has some great boards. If you need a good giggle check out her two humor boards. Continue reading »

Your chance to win an iPad Mini or Six Flags Tickets!

Bubbles loves to create messes, though she doesn’t exactly like to be a mess herself (we spent five minutes tonight making sure that all errant pieces of glitter were washed off her hands; I swear that girl can see microscopic sparkles). That’s why I always keep a stash of Wet Ones handy! They’re great for de-glittering, de-cheese-ing, and many other sticky situations.

If you have a sticky story of your own you don’t want to miss the Wet Ones Sticky Situations Facebook contest! Visit their Facebook page and share your story as well as tips on how to deal with messes. It only takes a minute to enter and you could win an iPad Mini or 4-packs of tickets to Six Flags!

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Wet Ones. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Gift Wrapping Ideas For The Holidays

Magical Wrapping Ideas For Disney Princess Items #DisneyPrincessWMT

This weekend I picked up a few Disney Princess gifts to go under the tree for Bubbles. They’re going to be really fun to play with but the boxes they come in are a bit oddly-shaped which can make it a challenge to wrap them. Additionally as this is really the first Christmas that Bubbles has shown any interest in the holiday festivities I wanted to make the presentation of them as fun for her as possible. As they are Disney gifts I thought it was appropriate to add a little Disney magic!

One of my favorite Disney experiences is the Beauty and the Beast stage show. I love how the curtains draw back on the stage and the excitement begins. That inspired me to create my own “reveal” packaging for the Fisher-Price Disney Princess Songs Palace. Continue reading »

Sprinkling Disney Princess Magic Under The Christmas Tree

Bubbles is in love with Disney and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve mentioned two or twenty times how much I love Disney and seeing her get excited over the characters makes me smile. I can’t wait until we can take her to Florida so she can meet them in person!

She loves all the Disney characters (Minnie and Mickey were some of her first words) but lately she has really been taken with the Disney Princesses. If we see them on TV or in a magazine she points, squeals and yells “Princess!”. We’ve watched Cinderella, the new Sofia the First, and Tangled a number of times and she’s always entranced.

During the flurry of Black Friday sales promotions I saw an ad for the Fisher-Price Disney Princess Songs Palace and thought it would be the perfect introductory Princess playset for her. She has a few Little People that she likes and the Little People Princesses that coordinate with the Palace will say their name and play their theme song. In addition to the two Princesses that come with the set there are a bunch of other Princesses – plus Prince Charming and the Beast – that you can buy that go with it.
