I am always about making memories with my children and I can add another to our list of adventures. Disney on Ice skated into Atlanta for a show and I was lucky enough to be able to plan a mother / daughter day with her to go while Broxton was in school. It gets better though.... I was able to have MY MOM there too, so it was three generations of girls seeing all the Disney characters we know and love, plus new to me ones as well!

When Broxton was little, we went on several "mother son dates" and I love the time spent with him one on on.  Now that Savannah is here, it is normally the 3 of us and that is great too, but I do want to do one on one "dates" with both of them. Don't you agree that it makes it more special when they get all of your attention, even if it just for a little while?

I mean, who doesn't love Disney????  We all do here.  All ages!   Well, Disney is bringing the Ice to town...  As in DISNEY ON ICE:  FOLLOW YOUR HEART is headed to Atlanta!

I hope you have seen the movie, Inside Out.  It is a cute movie and I love the message behind it.  Since it is new and popular, Disney has gone ahead and released several books for all ages to enjoy this story.  I love that they released them during the summer, when some kids stop reading.  Maybe this will be what they need to get those juices flowing!   The two books I am sharing today (I shared two yesterday, go check it out)  are for two different age groups. One is for older kids (9-12) and one is for the younger ones (3-5)  either way, great books and a great message!  Enjoy!  If you haven't seen the movie, I hope you do soon!   Inside Out -Driven By Emotio...

Summer break doesn't mean break from reading.  We still love books and of course, interest is more if it is a subject that brings excitement!   We were sent a couple books based on the new Disney Pixar movie, Inside Out.  We loved the movie, so I was excited to get the books!  I am sharing two today and will share two more tomorrow!  This would be great for summer reading, or to make a fun bag for road tripping!   Inside Out - Sadly Ever After   This is a hard back book with pages full of colorful illustrations that are sure to grab your attention. Each page lets us follow Joy and Sadness as they understand why Sadness is such a big part of life. One thing I loved ab...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation .   You know how you see previews for a movie and it stays on the list for a "must see?"  I don't know about your house, but at ours, the list gets rather lengthy if the kiddo is in charge of it.  We saw the preview for Inside Out at some point and it hit his radar as one to watch, so then every time it was on TV, he had to mention again and again and again...   To say I was happy to get an invite to an advance screening would be an understatement.  We were THRILLED.   Not only to see the movie, but also so that I would not have to be reminded over and over and over again that he really, REALLY wanted to go see it.  We headed to see the movie and after popcorn and a drink, we we...
