I remember visiting Disneyworld when I was in 8th grade. After a full day at Epcot and glorious fireworks in the evening my dad said the words “nobody does it like Disney, isn’t that right?” Very true, Dad. I think of this so often these days because Disney is such a major part of our everyday life right now. My daughter is all about the princesses (and has been for a couple years already). She has almost every costume sold — and so do her friends! For many months I thought to myself ‘this girl has too many costumes…this is just out of control – and then I realized after a half dozen play dates that all of her friends also owned the costume dresses in every color of the rainbow. I am just simply amazed that Disney has the entire corner of the market for children (especially girls). I also used to think that she would outgrow the interest after wearing a new dress around for a few days. Nope. She still wears the dresses that we bought for her well over a year ago. They are quite tattered, yes – but she still thinks they are beautiful and twirls around the house wearing them.
So why all this talk about Disney? Well, you know me. I’m all about taking pictures that reflect what life is like for families/children at the moment. I have taken several pictures that feature the love for all things Disney in this little girl’s world. I’m planning to take the opportunity to share a few mini Disney galleries in a few of my upcoming posts. I’ll call it the princess parade (because really that’s pretty much what it is…a fashion show of all the favorite dresses). So if you’re a Disney fan (like our family is) watch out for these headings.
Warning: There will be alot! I have TONS of Disney pictures.

Minnie Mouse has been the latest craze. We have a memory game with all the Disney characters and the big thing with ‘M” is matching up all the Minnie Mouses. Whatever it takes…I just love to see her enjoy the learning. That game is awesome for 3 year olds. If you have a little one it is a must buy! Good family times. We play it everyday.


Disney characters are loved by so many children. If your child has a costume and you would like to get him or her booked for a ’dress-up play’ special session, let me know! I offer great specials for ‘dress-up’ sessions and would be happy to provide you with further info. It’s always fun to watch a child play and imagine. Watch out for the upcoming ‘princess parade’ and other costume posts for examples.
