Superhero Bash!

I can't believe my little Cy Guy is going to be a year old in less than two months. It's true what they say "The days and hours go by slow but the years go by fast." It seems like just yesterday I was decorating his fabulous nursery. And now, he plays in there everyday just like I imagined he would.

So, with this wonderful milestone coming up quickly, I had to get my party planning act together. Since it has been Disney non stop this whole year, we decided to go with a superhero theme to not be TOO annoying with the Disney stuff. :)

I am so excited for Cy's first birthday bash.  It's going to be so unforgettable and I can not wait to theme it out to the nines and make it such a special day for him. 

48 days and counting!

Delightfully Disney

Unless you have been living under a rock, you all know that the C family ships off to Walt Disney World in October of this year. From wardrobe posts & saving jar posts, this house has been Disney Disney Disney for the past year and a half. As it should be, in my mind.

Well, one of my favorite blogs to read is DixieDelights. Amanda (this wonderful blog's author) is hosting a Disney memory book giveaway. I have been ogling these beauties for a while so I am officially entering my name into the contest! #VeryExcited

Check out the giveaway and Dixie Delights!

Disney Savings Jars

In our house, (and I'm sure in most houses) we need to make sure we save for Disney trips. To help us do that, we have two savings jars. 

One of them, is a weekly savings jar. We have 24 weeks until we visit The Mouse. So..the first week we put $1 in the jar..the second week $2 and so on.

The other jar is a $5 jar. Basically, whenever we have a five dollar bill..whether it be because of change from a $20 or a $10. Or if we just happen to have one..we put it in the jar.

Hopefully these savings will help us with eating our way through Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival!

Here's how I made them...

Supplies..

#MasonJars

#FoamBalls

#BlackSprayPaint

#WoodSkewers

Spray paint the foam balls using the wood skewers as handles so your hands don't get painted black...

And..hot glue them into the shape of Mickey's head and adhere them to the mason jars...

Also, make a week by week savings sheet to keep track of your weeks and the money in the jar!

Enjoy your savings!!

Disney World Wardrobe

I am admittedly obsessed with planning every little detail. Including my wardrobe choices. Whenever I have an event to attend my first thought it always "What am I going to wear?" Because of my meticulous planning, whenever we go away on a vacation or a weekend away I always know exactly what I am going to pack. So, this cuts down on the age old over packing situation. Don't get me wrong..this has taken practice. I was a chronic over packer for years. I was the fool that would be climbing up stairs with 7 bags and a make up case.

That brings me to our Disney trip. I have been planning this trip for close to two years now. And by planning, I really mean planning my (Disney themed) outfits.

My main concern when picking wardrobe for Disney is that they are dresses or shorts. Appropriate for a family environment. And, they of course need to have some sort of Disney theme. 

The tumblr account DisneyBound has given me all sorts of inspiration as well as things I have seen on Pinterest.

I also have to plan a Halloween type outfit for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. If you have never heard of this splendid event, you should look it up. Especially if you are as obsessed with Halloween as I am. This is the outfit I have chosen for that night..

You can't wear a full costume to Halloween Horror Nights, but I couldn't not wear something Halloween themed.

I also have some themed Tom's picked out for our trip. I came across some of these beauties while perusing Etsy...

I mean...how gorgeous are those? I always look at shoes as a work of art, but these take the cake. You are literally a walking canvas. 

So, I am going to have a few pairs made for my trip. Some Disney ones and also some superhero ones for when we visit Universal Studios/Islands Of Adventure. 

I did a bit of a superhero theme for the outfit I wore to Universal last time we went...this time I want to be a little more over the top with it...

I got the head band on......where else.... ETSY And I will most likely be buying another one for this trip.

As the time goes on I will have more outfits put together. And as an added bonus, I get to plan outfits for Cy which I am so very pumped about. I can't wait to coordinate with him. I always like us to match. 

Speaking of matching, the mister and I will be wearing these tanks during our week with The Mouse...

AND, speaking of hash tags and my obsession with Twitter I had to order this shirt right when I saw it..

What does everyone else do for vacation wardrobe planning?
