The Mickey Ship (and a giveaway)

On Disney Cruise

Today, I got one of those ... "what your infant/toddler/preschooler is doing" emails.  I am still thinking about it because the subject line on the email said...

"...preschooler, 32 months"

What?  And when did this happen?  She is in her thirties? And they refer to her as a preschooler!

The other morning after dropping Jeremiah off at school.  She and I (still in pajamas), see a plane flying overhead as we get home.  She yells... the mickey ship, the mickey ship 

(remembering our Disney Cruise). 

Somehow planes are ships and ships are planes.  

We later see pictures of big ships and planes and I explain one is in the water and one in the sky.  Remember when we rode on an airplane? I say.

(I think it's still a Mickey ship) 

I have a special giveaway for you.  We were sent over a copy of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Minnie's Masquerade on DVD.  She loves it! And will randomly call out Oh Toodles! when she is playing.   The episodes are short, about or less than half hour I believe, which is perfect media time for a toddler.  The episodes include counting, shapes and letters and really work on making learning fun.  

We both say hot diggity dog and dance to the song together....

The DVD comes along side Disney's Mickey Mote which makes for interactive and hands on learning.  She is still a little too young for this, pressing any button at any time but I'm sure preschoolers would love this. ( :

GIVEAWAY
I have one DVD set to send to one of you.  Leave a comment telling me your favorite Disney character, or any comment you like by Sunday 3/6/11 12pm to enter.  I will randomly pick one of you and email you if you win.

Hoping your day is lovely friends....




*I was given a copy of this DVD.  No further compensation was given. 

Acai Seeds

This bracelet has been part of my daily wardrobe since returning from our Disney Cruise.  Lovely to wear on dress up or my most often casual days.

I got it on one of our sans kids outing (a comedy show) while on the cruise.

My drink for that night:

a most yummy Eco-tini

VeeV Acai liqueor, triple sec, agave nectar, ginger, and freshly squeezed lime juice (served with a souvenir Acai bracelet).


So, I'm in love with Acai jewelry right now.

Like Tania's darling Peruvian inspired Acai Chocolate Raspberry earrings.

I'm thinking perfect Valentines gift.

What is your favorite piece of jewelry right now...what are you wearing?

I'm back.....

It seems so long.  Since my last post.  Iv'e missed writing.  Most of all reading all of your lovely blogs.

We just returned from a family vacation.  Disney Cruise... to the Mexican Riviera.  It was worth every hard earned penny we spent.  The kids had SO much fun.
I spent my week media free.
Enjoyed my family.  Food.  Mexico.  And seeing Mickey Mouse ofcoarse. ( :

Life is back to normal now.  Clothes are washing.  Jeremiah is supposed to be doing homework in his room.  Audrey out for a run in the jogger with dad.

And frozen lasagna from Trader Joes in the oven.

Tonight will be my first night back to work.  Iv'e been loving all the sleeping at night, and really need to pull myself together to get through tonight.

I'm still working on cleaning my life out.  And have a guest post I would love for you to read.

Hope everyone out there has their hearts filled with love today ( :


*Lot's to tell from our cruise.  Leave me a comment, or send me an email if you have questions about cruising.  I learned so much, I wish I would have known before leaving.  
*More posts to come soon, now that my life seems a little cleaner ( :
