Peter and the Wolf House Party

Thanks to Giants Are Small and MomSelect I received this awesome free party box!

It had all sorts of awesome items! Construction paper, balloons, cups, plates, napkins, posters, Peter & The Wolf CD, crayons, popcorn, pins, jello, pretzels, chocolate, umbrellas, HP photo paper, table cloth, coloring pages, and a $10 iTunes gift card.

They had some great party sponsors like MyPrintly and iLoveToCreate.

A few hours before the party my kids decided that we needed to blow up ALL the balloons. They even tried to help. I’m not a big fan of slobbery balloons that the kids have tried and now want me to blow up for them. We did manage to blow up most of the package though and then throw them all over the house right before our guests arrived.

I didn’t get a good picture of this. Have you ever tried to photograph balloons all over your house? It’s just doesn’t go well…

The Peter & the Wolf Buttons and coloring pages were a big hit among our guests. All the kids were so excited to take a button home (I think they were calling them badges). And the construction paper was well enjoyed, even if it wasn’t used for the specified art project. The girls banded together and we ended up with a bunch of heart fans.

We had so much fun eating these jello beach snacks. I used the blue Jello that came in my box. After it set, I topped it with cool-whip and crushed nilla wafers. Then stuck in an umbrella.

JellO Beach
1 large box of blue JellO
12 clear white cups
1 container cool-whip softened
1 cup nilla wafers – crushed
12 drink umbrellas

Prepare JellO per package directions. Divide evenly among clear cups. Put in fridge to set.
Once JellO is set, top with cool-wip, then sprinkle crushed nilla wafers, then add the umbrellas.
Enjoy!

It’s also no exaggeration that my kids LOVE the Peter and the Wolf in Hollywood app. I have trouble prying it away from my little guy. The story is fun, interactive, and so entertaining! All the kids love it!

Check out their website Peter and the Wolf in Hollywood for more info and links to the app for iPhone and iPad.

We had a great party, with tasty treats, fun art projects, and enjoyed a fun new #PeterandtheWolfApp!

My Disney Kids Preschool Playdate

Thanks to Walt Disney World Resort and MomSelect for this awesome Disney Kids Preschool Playdate party box!

We had friends over and we moms hung out and talked while the kids played in the yard and enjoyed snacks and all the awesome party box contents! The weather was beautiful and the kids had tons of fun while we moms got to relax.

Everyone loved these Disney Junior drawstring bags. They were perfect for taking home all their “loot”.

Plus, my preschoolers love Disney Junior!

There were some pretty awesome sponsors this year. Like these sample packs of All Laundry Detergent. With 3 kids I ALLways need more laundry detergent. And since I also have a child who’s sensitive to dyes and scents, free & clear detergent is a must.

Best of all. The hostess gift this year was just awesome! It’s something we’ll get lots of use out of and it made my daughter so happy!

Of course, the favorite item in the box was this adorable Princess Sofia suitcase. My 5yr old daughter claimed it the second it came out of the box. She pulled it around for days and even had it packed for a trip to Grandma’s house (that she was planning all by herself). She’ll definitely get lots of use out of this.

The Lion Guard is Disney Junior’s newest show and all the kids were delighted with the animals, tattoos, and posters to take home. This is where those Disney Jr. bags came in really handy!

Next up, my 2yr old son claimed this adorable book sponsored by Banfield Pet Hospital. It’s such a cute story and my little guy loves dogs. And those Cars sandwich bags. I had to hide them from him so he wouldn’t “drive” them all over the house before the party. I put four chocolate cookies in each bag for “tires” for the kid’s snacks.

And Nesquik is our very favorite chocolate milk powder. We go through that stuff so fast! It’s delicious and ensures that my kids drink lots of milk.

Did you notice the Mickey? Actually, we have a Mickey or a Minnie depending on which side of the hat you show. Each of the kids got one of these hats to take home as well. Jake on one side and Sofia on the other. And since we had a mixed group of kids, this made everyone happy.

Last but not least, these super sparkly glitter puff glues from I Love to Create. There were also white paper bags and some templates for making puppets. The kids had so much fun designing their own characters with the glue, though, they did take quite a while to dry!

We had a blast at our party, and I’m so grateful to Walt Disney World Resort, MomSelect, and all the awesome sponsors for such a great box for our #DisneyKids party!

Disney Side

I’m so excited! I received a bunch of free products from Disney Side @Home Celebrations to host my own #Disneyside party!

First of all, people started getting their boxes weeks ago. And these boxes had some awesome stuff in them! So, I was eagerly awaiting mine. Well, it was scheduled to be delivered Tuesday. And guess what happened Tuesday? Snow, enough snow that UPS didn’t deliver. So, I had to wait till Wednesday. Very impatiently wait, I might add.

Here’s a bunch of party supplies, Mickey Mouse themed plates, cups, napkins, cookie cutters, table cloth, bracelets, stickers and tattoos, banners, and craisins. There is also Disney bingo, Disney posters, HP Photo card packs, Disney vacation planning DVD, measuring cups, recipe cards, and Hanes white t-shirts with fabric markers.

And, a very special hostess gift. An American Tourister suitcase and Mickey Mouse luggage tag. I saw pictures of other’s suitcases and some were getting black with red, pink, and green. I’m not a pink or green suitcase person so I was really hoping for the black and red. Which is exactly what I got. WooHoo! I’ve really been needing some new luggage and I’ve honestly never owned a piece of luggage quite this nice before. Now, I just need to plan a trip…

Back to the party, my kids are so excited! I told them we would have a playdate with friends and we can decorate t-shirts and cookies and have disney themed snacks. I haven’t planned out my menu yet but expect pictures of whatever I come up with!

Thanks again to Disney Parks and MomSelect for all this awesome Disney party stuff!
