Mermaid Munch Snack Mix

Disclosure: I’m sharing this fun Mermaid Munch movie night project as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #GoldfishTales

If you've been following my blog for a while now, you will know that I have a slight obsession with themed snacks and treats, especially for movie nights. I think they are so much fun, and watching the kids' faces light up when I show them what they'll be snacking on is well and truly worth the little extra effort.

So I was inspired to make this fun themed snack for a mermaid themed movie night.

Isn't it fun? And look pink Goldfish® Princess crackers.

Big Hero 6 Free Printables for the Whole Family

Flynn and I had the opportunity to see the media screening of Big Hero 6 a couple of weeks ago and the film was released into movie theaters last Friday.

Have you seen it yet?

It's action-packed and has a great message behind it about coping with grief and using your power for good. I may have shed a tear once or twice. Flynn thought it was the best movie he'd seen in a while.

Today I've got some free printables for you. There's some for the whole family including recipes, origami, activities and science experiments.

A Sleeping Beauty Sleepover

 

Since moving house over the summer, Marisol and I have been missing our friends. We are only about 40 minutes away, but it feels like so far and we don't get to see them as much as we used to. So last weekend we invited a few to come for a slumber party (there was even a grown-up sleepover too).

Did I mention that this was Marisol's very first sleepover. She was absolutely beside herself with excitement for the entire week leading up to her friends coming over. It was exactly what we needed to reconnect with them.

Disney's The Pirate Fairy! will be released on BluRay/DVD/Digital HD on April 1st, 2014, and when you purchase it exclusively at Walmart, there will be a free gift with purchase - the Pixie Hollow Bake-Off DVD which includes ten animated shorts.

Celebrate the launch of The Pirate Fairy! with a movie viewing party at home. I've got you covered for dessert with a yummy pirate fairy angel food cake topped with fresh fruit.

You can purchase a store-bought angel food cake for this, but I found they were a little smaller than I wanted so I made one from scratch. Here is how you can do it too, and you don't need an angel food cake pan.

I try to keep home movie 'parties' for my kids as simple and cost-effective as possible. I tend to splurge on one key item, and the rest is generally items I already have on hand, excluding food of course.
