Although all three of us are under the weather right now, playing this video of my boys laughing while I kiss their bellies makes me smile. I hope it does the same for you! :)
Merida's Disney Princess Royal Celebration #DisneySMMoms
It's not every day a Princess gets crowned. A Disney Princess that is.
I was excited to be present at Merida's royal celebration held at the Magic Kingdom in front of Cinderella's Castle last week. The Brave heroine officially joined the Disney Princess court in classic Disney fashion with fireworks and other surprises. People were already lined up and down Main Street last Saturday morning and
the park had barely opened yet. We had a VIP view and the excitement in the
air was thrilling. It was also cool to see all 10 previous Disney Princess characters there together. So pretty.
Watched by hundreds of park guests, Merida's procession to the castle was led by a troop of Scottish dancers and an authentic pipe and drum band. Instead of arriving in a traditional horse-and-carriage, she rode in on her trusty horse. She was welcomed on stage by the entire Disney Princess court, and was crowned by her mother Queen Elinor.
Gymnastics Gold Medalist and All-Around champion, Gabby Douglas, hosted the celebration accompanied by her own mother.
I admire Merida for being determined and courageous as these are qualities that have had a big impact on my own life and helped me achieve my goals as an athlete," said Gabby Douglas, gymnastics gold medalist. "And like Merida, I have a strong relationship with my mom, whose support and belief in me has helped me recognize my own inner princess qualities. It's really special for us to be here and share in Merida's celebration, especially on Mother's Day weekend."Here are some pics from the celebration:
Babies First Trip to Disney World #DisneySMMoms
I know people wouldn't think to take their 6-month-old sons so soon to Disney World, but I couldn't wait. Why not? Yes, I know, they will have no memory of it, but I always will. The photos alone are precious. It was my babies first time to Disney and I’ll never forget it. It was so surreal to be going there as an "adult" with my own children. Wow! Us grown-ups also sneaked off on a few rides too.
When Ben met a life-sized Winnie the Pooh (the same character seen on a lot of his toys and on his bouncer) he extended his hand to touch the soft, silly ole bear. It was precious!
I also have photos of all of us with Mickey Mouse with the boys in matching Mickey onesies too. This time, it was Logan who kept staring at Mickey. He kept craning his neck past me to get a good look at him. I tried blocking his view so he could look toward the camera, but no, he wasn't having it, he darted his head the other way and continued to stare at Mickey. You can see it in the below pic. Too cute!
I also think the boys enjoyed all the activity as they seemed perfectly fine in their strollers people watching and seeing all the colors as they strolled through the parks. They were even fine during Epcot's Illuminations, their nighttime lights and fireworks show. In fact, they were entranced by the bright popping colors in the sky. This was their first-ever fireworks too. Take a look:
Also, if you're ever at a Disney park with kids still in diapers, do ask for the nearest Baby Care Center located within all three parks, here both mommy and daddies can change babies on comfortable cushioned changing beds. They have disposable sheets that go over each changer for each baby. It's also air-conditioned and they sell supplies like diapers and formula in case you are running low. There is also a private pumping area for mothers. We visited this center several times.
I also chronicled how I dressed the boys each day over at TOT Runway: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3.
Stay tuned for my next post on some fun upcoming Disney news...

At the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration
Hello from Orlando, Florida!Raphael, the boys and I are back in Florida, this time for the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I'm super excited to be among the select bloggers invited and attending the annual event. I've really needed my Disney fix.
Although I've been to Disney World several times before, this is the first time I'm going as a mother with two boys. It's a bit surreal to be their as the parent now. Yes, I know they are not even 6-months-old yet, but it's still thrilling knowing it's their first trip to Disney World. I can't wait to take photos of them with different characters. I went out and bought them even more Disney Baby outfits to wear too. I think for a change, I'm going to go all matchy matchy on them. If not now, when?
Some of you are probably already familiar with Disney's Magical Express, but being my first time traveling with kids, it was new to me and it rocked my world! Basically, it's a complimentary airport transportation service and luggage delivery for guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels.
We are staying at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Below is the view from our balcony and the Mickey surprise that was waiting for us on the bed.
I had signed up for the free Magical Express service two weeks before our trip and they mailed me a packet with tickets and luggage tags to put on our bags:

Comforts for Baby Formula & Dr. Brown's Giveaway
Now that the boys are doing formula exclusively and are drinking around 7 oz per feeding, it gets quite expensive, especially since there are two of them after all. We typically go through a tub of powdered formula every 2 days. It's insane!
A less expensive option that we tried and liked is Comforts For Baby, which still provides complete nutrition that compares to the nutrition of the leading National Brands, but at a fraction of the cost. They offer a wide range of high-quality infant formulas for different sensitivities and allergies. They even have an organic one called Touch of Nature. We tried the Premium Infant Formula ($14) though, which compares to Enfamil Premium Infant. I actually liked that this formula dissolved easier so there wasn't any clumping. I also think the boys liked trying something different, but that could just be me reading into things, lol.
Giveaway: We are also giving away 1 Comforts for Baby Premium Infant Formula and a Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Wide-Neck bottle, just fill out the form below. Good luck!!
Meanwhile, just when we mastered formula though, they start solid foods next month! Ahhh!
