National Princess Week

 

Disney has valiantly proclaimed the first ever National Princess Week, which is currently going on, April 22-28. In collaboration with Target, the Walt Disney Company is showcasing a variety of princess-related gear that includes:

 

• 10th Anniversary release of a very special two-movie collection featuring two modern-day fairy tales, The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, available for the first time ever on Blu-ray™.
• Target guests will also find Julie Andrews’ The Very Fairy Princess: Here Comes the Flower Girl! co-authored with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. It is the latest publication in their critically acclaimed No. 1 New York Times best-selling “The Very Fairy Princess” children’s franchise. The book follows a little girl, Geraldine, through her adventures readying for her aunt’s wedding and the magic that happens when she helps others.
• Fans of Disney’s beloved princess characters will find an array of themed merchandise at Target stores and Target.com. Items include Blu-rays, books, toys, bedroom decor, games and more, inspired by Disney’s classic animated films, including Beauty and the Beast, The Princess and the Frog, and Tangled, starting at just $5. Guests can view the full selection of products by visiting Target.com/Princess.

“Throughout my career as an actress and author, I’ve encouraged children to use their imaginations and dream big,” said Julie Andrews. “Joining Disney and Target to create National Princess Week is an extension of my work—a moment in time for children to celebrate their individuality and let their inner sparkle shine.”

PhotoBook Craze... (updated)

My dad has been bugging me to make him a calendar with all of his grand kids on it, since the very first time I made one back in 2003. I know, I know. But time just has not been my friend with a now three-year old skipping around and trying to run my household. I thought that I would instead make something that would last not just for one year, but something he could have to hold on to forever... a photobook! It's like an upgraded picture album and better!!!

With all the GroupOn and Living Social deals that are out, you can easily score a book for about $15, whereas the normal price can run anywhere from $20 upwards, not to mention the shipping is not included. Here is a sample photo book that I made of my daughter's first year! Check it out...
