Book Review: Frozen Books For All Ages

Product review post graphicLike the rest of the preschool to elementary school female population, my princess is quite obsessed with the movie Frozen.  I have to admit, I do love the music as well as the movie, so I don’t quite mind the fact she plays the sound track or watches the movie daily.  Now that she is into story telling, she has the opportunity to enjoy the movie in print with Frozen Books.

Frozen Books

We’ve recently had the opportunity to review these popular books and my daughter is in heaven!  She loves sitting down and telling me a story based on the photos since she can’t quite read yet.  With this new Frozen library of books, she will be able to grow into an amazing reader with them.

Fabulous 5th Birthday

Moms now a days tend to go over the top when it comes to birthdays. I just happen to be guilty of trying to come up with an adorable theme and go crazy with the decorations. With my princess’ 5th birthday party, it just had to be Fabulous 5th Birthday.

Melissa Invitation

Typically I start with an idea or a theme and run with it.  Since my beautiful daughter has become quite the fashionista/diva, I decided it certainly had to be a “fancy” party.  Pink, Black and animal print seemed rather appropriate and I began my search for party supplies.
