Disney Side @Home Celebration 2015
***Disclosure-I was selected as a Disneyside @ Home party host. I received a party kit. Any and all opinions stated are my own based on my personal opinion.
Last year, we hosted and showed how we, Texans, show our Disneyside. Our Celebracion de Disneyside was so much fun. And this year was no different. From the moment this box arrived:
The pixie dust was sprinkled on this package. My daughter was so excited to check everything that came. And then it was time to plan our party. Our invitations went out and our guests could not wait. The party prepping started at our house.
We played put the smile on Mickey, Disney Parks Bingo, Disney word search, and even worked together to complete a Minnie Mouse puzzle.
One of the fun things we got in our box was the Duff Tie-Dye cake mix. Instead of me preparing it for the party. I let some of the kids work together. The kids had so much fun baking, and decorating the Mickey Mouse cake for everyone to enjoy.
While we waited for the cake to be ready, we watched pictures from our recent DisneyWorld 2014 trip. We visited 3 Disney Parks; DisneyWorld, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom.
We did Disney trivia, talked about our favorite things to do while at Disney Parks, and answered questions. The girls got manicures and their nails painted by my daughter. She is such a good host. Everyone loved the Disney luggage tags that were hand delivered by our very own Prince Charming.
Thanks to Disney Parks and Mom Select for this wonderful opportunity. You too can show your Disneyside by using the #Disneyside hashtag on social media, you may be featured on the website DisneySide Celebrations. There are recipes, party ideas, and activities.

Dear Me - Happy International Women's Day
Happy International's Women's Day!
I heard on the radio station that today was celebrated as a day to celebrate women everywhere. Also that several people were going on You Tube making videos. But the part that most interested me was that they were talking to themselves. So this is my letter to my younger self:
Dear Alba,
I am you many years from now. I have a husband, 2 kids, and the corner office job. Yes, I do. It wasn't easy. As you know, life has not been easy to you. And there are somethings I want you to know.
You are beautiful. Your glasses do make you look smarter.
You think you are fat, but you are not.
Try, try out, attempt, take chances. You never know where it will take you.
There so many people that will come in to your life that are really good. They will help you.
Make more friends. You will be surprised at how many people remember you and you not remember them. Yeah, the memory goes when you get older. You are good at making friends.
You are a NERD, and who cares. It is a good thing.
But the most important thing I want you to remember is to be HAPPY.
With Love,
Me
I don't regret my past because it made me who I am today. When I was younger I wish I would have known that life is happening with or without me. That my problem of the day was not going to be my problem tomorrow. Everyday we face different issues that we all think are so world ending but they are not. That you can choose to live life HAPPY. Not to let unhappy people ruin your life. Falling down hurts but you can't go any further down. Get up, don't stay down.
Live life, Don't let life live you.

Once Upon A Time Themed Party Tips
***Disclosure-Sample product was received for review. All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.
Once Upon A Time..... this is how all fairy tale stories begin. What is a wish if you can't wish it upon a star, right?
I was picked to host a themed party. I love themed parties. Theme parties are like fairy tale stories you tell. Every guest that comes plays a part in your story. Your home can be a castle, enchanted forest, or a magical place. Whatever story you decide to tell with your party theme.
My daughter loves to think she is a Princess. Playtime with her is so much fun. She loves to dress up and play her characters. So picking a party theme was so easy...Once A Upon a Time. Now that the theme is chosen, we need to tie the party with the theme.
Food. Pick food that will make your theme come to life. You can serve grape juice to represent wine. Use cookie cutters to cut out crown shaped sandwiches, cookies, rice krispie treats, or brownies. A table full of small appetizers can do the trick for parties.
Also serving platters, plates, silverware, and glassware can make a big difference. My suggestions would be to pick gold and silver platters. The fancier looking the better. The platters don't even have to be expensive. I have gotten some really cute ones from the dollar stores. You can dress up items to make them look nicer. Presentation is key also. Party stores are now starting to carry items that are plastic but look like the real deal. I always check the Dollar stores first. Glass vases are also good for presentation and of course, can be used for decorations.
Decorations. Look for any items around your house that can help you pull your theme together. Depending on how your scene is suppose to look. You do not have to spend money, just repurpose items in your house. I have used curtains as table cloths to set the theme. I have used frames to label my food. Mirrors in your home can now become enchanted.
Do you have a Prince Charming in your life? What is a fairy tale party without it's very own Disney's Prince?
Surprise your guest by having special appearances. You can have someone dress up. You can invite everyone to wear their fairytale costumes. Have a Meet and Greet area with photo opportunities. Make a photo booth with boa's, crowns, and wands. A curtain, blank wall, or decorated area can be used to set the background.
So what are you waiting for, get those invitations started and host your own party with these tips. Once A Upon A Time can be used for baby showers, and bridal showers too, not just birthdays. Good luck and remember...your party will be happily ever after!!
