Disney Baby Layette Gift Set

January 29, 2012 By 5 Comments

By Christine:

"After a labor of love, we’re proud to announce the birth of DisneyBaby.com".  To celebrate the newest member of the Disney family I was invited to try out a few items from the layette collection.  Included in the gift set were two Disney Cuddly Bodysuits, one Disney Sleep and Play outfit and a Winnie the Pooh soft character rattle. Typically I am not a big fan of babies or young kids wearing clothes with characters or other brands until they’re old enough to pick out what they like.  However, I found the patterns on the Disney Baby items to be very tasteful and unobtrusive.  The Disney characters were included in a more fashionable design in the samples I received and what I saw online.

The onsies are both cute and cuddly, as the name suggests.  In addition, they are made out of a very soft 100% cotton and are thick enough to wear paired with cotton pants, or under another shirt for added warmth. They wash well and feel even softer after coming out of the dryer.  The head opening is a generous size and fit easily over my  3 1/2 month old’s slightly large head.  What I like most about the Disney Cuddly Bodysuits though is the additional row of snaps.  It is so great to have well made clothes that will last and grow with my daughter, especially since babies grow so fast and I can hardly keep up with rotating her clothes as she grows. I know that these onsies will be in the dresser for several months to come and they will look and feel great.IMG_1001

The Disney Sleep and Play outfit was the same lovely cotton as the bodysuits.  I’m just disappointed that they sent a boy’s pattern, as I have a daughter whose older sister will not hear of her little sister wearing anything remotely boyish.  The Mickey Mouse "Who am I" Sleep and Play will find a new home at Special Delivery, a frequent recipient of items from MomStart.

These items can all be found on DisneyBaby.com along with a whole selection of other baby necessities.

Flying with Marry Poppins on Broadway

December 9, 2011 By 5 Comments

We tried to fly with Marry Poppins while we were waiting for our backstage tour of the New Amsterdam Theater. I had no balance, I didn’t even notice that I could use Mary as support like Jeana did.

IMG_6379

Look at her fly.

IMG_6390

Mary Poppins on Broadway in New York City was spectacular. It was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious even though the sound if it is something quite atrocious. Sorry, I can’t help but break out into song after watching it. I have so many different Mary Poppins songs just running through my head.

image

I love that on Broadway you get a different version of the story with all your favorite songs. They capture the essence of what everyone already knows and loves with live actors through singing and dancing and a little bit of magic. More like a ton of magic. There are so many wholes in the floor, and entire house fits in the back of the theater and they move it forward, they have the biggest umbrella I’ve ever seen come out of the floor, and statues come to life as they are rolled across the stage.

MARY_POPPINS_Gavin_Lee

The kids were amazing, They were practically perfect, in everyway, which if you have seen Mary Poppins on broadways you’ll realize that was one of the songs. When Mary introduces herself to the children she tells them she’s practically perfect. I loved it. The actress playing Mary was an amazing talent. She was only 24 with the most amazing voice and I had no idea how fast someone could change clothes and get from the above the balcony of the audience back down to the stage in front of us so fast. That theater is HUGE I tell you with secret passages everywhere. Even the actor playing Burt was amazing. The singing captivated me from beginning to end and the sets. WOW, I’ve never seen such elaborate sets. They come out of the floor they come down from the ceiling. Burt even walked the ceiling. He walked up the side of the wall, across the ceiling and back down all while dancing and singing. I was watching his face and thinking that man is an amazing athlete. I used to play in a marching band and playing and doing something like a dance is quite exhausting. I think I just found Marry Poppins to be magical. She flew several times while singing and she never once lost her hat. I tried on her hat, Her head was quite small.

Mary Poppins is now on Broadway in New York at the New Amsterdam Theater.

Beauty And the Beast The Enchanted Christmas

December 3, 2011 By 5 Comments

By Summer:

In the original Disney Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies. In the movie however Belle and the Beast seem to develop something in the wintertime, during the “Something There That Wasn’t There Before” song. This Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas story is a “fill-in” to the original film.

clip_image002

The voices weren’t the same, the art didn’t seem to be the same and the colors also seemed duller to me. There are new characters introduces; there are new antagonists and the Christmas characters in this story. Children will love the five new songs I counted during the show though the credits said there were seven songs. On the bonus there are also Sing-A-Longs for your little performer.

My 4YO is too afraid of the new bad guys, but my brave little 2YO seemed to enjoy it. My mom liked it too. I however thought it was just okay though it is nice to have another addition to our young children’s movie collection.

SPOILER ALERT: I don’t understand how this movie fits into the original film. Belle and the beast learn to love each other in this film despite the schemes of one of the beast old companions (who is not in the original film) Maestro, an old pipe organ. In this film Maestro doesn’t want the beast to fall in love with Belle which I don’t understand why he doesn’t want to be human again.

I just don’t’ get it but my family seemed to find it entertaining. I don’t know if I had my hopes too high, but this Christmas version of Beauty and the Beast just wasn’t appealing to me.

This Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is available now and only for a limited time!

Mattel’s Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle

November 25, 2011 By 378 Comments

Matte’s Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle is amazing in detail and stature. In the box it actually looks a little small but once it’s all put together it’s taller than the kids. It took my husband an hour and 20 minutes to put together (of course that was with four little hands helping, perhaps it could have gone faster).

IMG_5779

IMG_5784

A little tea party while daddy was putting a few things together.

 IMG_5789

No tools needed for assembly, well except to put in 2 double A batteries for the doorbell, and toilet that flushes. Zoe snapped a few pieces into place all by herself

IMG_5792

Once the Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle was finished the playtime began. One, Zoe already has a few princesses plus Mattel sent us one of the  2-in-1 Ballgown Surprise Princesses (sold separately from the castle). So the kids put the furniture in and we found that each princess had their own room. Zoe was sad to find out that Mulan and Jasmine didn’t get their own room. Jasmine did have a flying carpet elevator, but Zoe felt that just wasn’t enough.

But that didn’t hold her attention long, she played and played and played with the Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle. Of course Miles got in on the fun too. He played with Rapunzel, but she doesn’t have a room either. . IMG_5807

So, who does have a room? Ariel has a bathtub in the bathroom, Sleeping Beauty has a bed in the bedroom, Snow white has a mirror and make up dresser, Tiana has the kitchen to cook in, and Belle has the dining room to serve in. I suppose you could say the tower is for Rapunzel to let down her hair, either way, this castle is not lacking at all. Everything you need except the batteries is included in the castle. The furniture is outstanding, the entire dining room set and even a bath towel. It’s amazing. Plus Zoe was tickled pink when she found that it made sounds. I remember her running from her room, Mommy, Daddy, you have to come see the sounds it makes. She’s in heaven, and even understand that we’re going to donate it to a child that is in need.

Now for the 2-in-1 Ballgown Surprise Princesses. They sent us two Cinderella’s so we’re donating one of those the The Holiday 2011 Tweetdrive. But the other one we had to open and play with it. Zoe loves that the dress changes from one dress to another and she even took it to show in tell for the letter C.

Watch how easy it is to change the princess’s dresses. I love the two-in-one costumes:

 

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winners, Crystal C and Sarah.

Season of Giving Day 18: The Recipe for FEED[ing] Our Small World

November 18, 2011 By 5 Comments

By Summer

I love to buy gifts. I especially love to buy gifts then they support a cause. Disney has released an It’s a Small World cookbook for children called FEED Our Small World. The recipes are a little complicated for a chef-in-the-making, but this book is great for a little family time cooking!

image

The books has 6 breakfast recipes, 7 lunch recipes, 7 dinner recipes, and 6 dessert recipes; as you can imagine these delicacies give you a taste of the world with recipes from France, Spain, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, India, Greece, Cuba, China, Thailand, Senegal, Italy, Japan, Indonesia, Morocco, Mexico, Ireland, Poland, United States, Jamaica, and England.

These recipes are fun and easy! Many of them have a lot of ingredients, so be sure to shop with your young chef before starting a recipe. I think then children help make a dish they’re more likely to try it, even if they don’t end up liking the taste. FEED Our Small World offers flavors from around the world, so your child can try all different kinds of flavors. This is a great book to base a play date or theme party around.

My Mom Start Review Grade of FEED Our Small World Cookbook: A+

This book isn’t just great for the joy of cooking or for the family time you’ll have while preparing a dish, but the Disney It’s a Small World FEED Our Small World Cookbook also donates to the FEED Foundation to provide Vitamin A supplement for 450,000 children for one year.

image

The FEED Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit started by Ellen Gustafson and Lauren Bush in July 2008. Their mission is to improve the global food system by ensuring nutritious school meals for all children. Basically FEED focuses on food security, school feeding, and healthy food. The FEED Foundation partners with the FEED Project, LLC and the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). You can also donate directly to FEED:

- $10-50 can provide school meals to children around the world for the school year

Inside The Muppets: Kermit Says It’s Much Easier Being Green

November 16, 2011 By 28 Comments

During that interview with Miss Piggy, I also had the chance to sit down and talk to Kermit the Frog. He’s much more level headed than Miss Piggy and wanted to know about my daughter Zoe, which thrilled me to death when he asked me what her favorite color was. In case you guys don’t know which you should because I talk about Zoe all the time, her favorite color is any shade of purple, lavender just like Miss Piggy is what she would probably say today.

The Muppets

Here are the rest of the highlights from the interview with Kermit.

Q : So what were you doing all these years before you started production on this last movie?

Kermit’s Response:

Oh, lots of stuff. You know, it’s been, it’s been quite a few years since we’ve done a big movie. You know, we haven’t done that in a long time but, uh, we’ve done lots of other stuff that we can talk about. We just thought we were trying to come back to the big screen. We did do the Bohemian Rhapsody so we’ve been together.

 

Q : Do you find it’s easier to be green, now?

Before I give you his response, you’ve all heard of The Rainbow connection and his song about It isn’t easy being green right. He’s a great singer and one of the best I know at expressing his feelings. So if you hvaen’t seen Being Green, then here it is. It’s not Easy being Green!

 

Kermit’s Response:

I think so. It’s taken on all these new meanings. When I said that originally, when I sang that song it was about being accepted in the world and these days it’s a lot more about the environment I think, you know. People are kind of taking it to mean that. But, uh, I think it’s just about being comfortable in your own skin. And It can be tough especially in Hollywood so you have to make your place in the film industry.

Q : How did you like your new costars?

Kermit’s Response:

Oh, wonderful. It was wonderful working with Jason. You know, Jason actually wrote this thing to begin with and it went through about 17 thousand rewrites but he’s the guy who wanted to make this movie with us.

The Muppets Are Coming

When asked about children, he said they’re a big responsibility and then Miss Piggy mentioned something about wanting some and well he changed the subject as quickly as he possibly could.

Inside The Muppets: The Commonalities Between Miss Piggy And My Daughter

November 15, 2011 By 6 Comments

My daughter who is only four is so excited about The Muppets coming out November 23rd. She wants to watch anything and everything we can find on the internet that has Miss Piggy in it. Miss Piggy has suddenly become one of my daughters idols and as I sit here thinking about how interested Zoe is in Miss Piggy it’s no big surprise because they have so much in common.

image

In an interview with Miss Piggy she was asked how she liked working at French Vogue, well, she got right down to the point. She didn’t really work there she was acting for the Movie The Muppets. “I did not really work there. This is a movie we’re talking about. You all know that, right? It was, it was lovely. It was lovely. I wish we’d actually shot on location. Paris, — we shot here in the back lot.” If you haven’t noticed, Miss Piggy is a very direct character, over the top at time direct. So is my daughter!

image

Something else they both have in common is that they are both very fashionable. Zoe has had a fashion sense since she was 15 months old. She just learned how to walk and suddenly she was picking out her own clothes and accessories. And Miss Piggy says fashion is wonderful and loves the clothes she wears in the movie. “Those are real and it’s wonderful, it’s fabulous. I love to do free clothes from, from fashion designers.” And so does my daughter!

image

When I asked Miss Piggy what her favorite color was, she said she wears a lot of lavender and that probably is her favorite color. Lavender matches everything. My daughter must have gotten her coordination directly from Miss Piggy because she’s always wearing some shade of purple even when I think it doesn’t at all match. I just keep my mouth shut because I know she’ll just tell me I’m wrong and have no fashion sense. Not like they do at least.

image

One thing I adore about Miss Piggy  is the great advice she gave about kids playing outside. She said, “Kids need to play. They need to go outside and play and run and jump and skip and have fun.”  This makes me quite happy with Zoe’s new idol choice.

The Muppets

Some other great advice I’ve seen Miss Piggy share is about Facebook. Miss Piggy wants you to like the Muppets on Facebook a Bazillion times because you guys are wasting likes on things like Lima Beans. Zoe agrees! The only green you should like is Kermit! The Muppets comes out in Theaters November 23rd.

Animal Advice: Live Loud, Eat Now and Have Friends

November 8, 2011 By 4 Comments

The Muppets have taken over MomStart. In an attempt to let them have their way, they get one post a day as long as I can keep up with them. Today’s post is from Animal and he’s impossible to keep up with always yelling at me with excitement.

Animal has sound advice and from every Muppet movie I’ve ever seen, he sure does know how to have fun. Before I let Animal have his way and give out all of his sound advice, I thought I’d share some interesting facts about Animal.

clip_image001[5]Animal first appeared in the 1975 pilot, The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, chained up in a basement cell when he wasn’t onstage performing with the Electric Mayhem. He later became a main character on The Muppet Show, and his unrestrained style has made him popular with young people for decades.

Animal was the official mascot of the U.S. Ski Team during the 1998 Winter Olympics. Animal was also featured in one of eleven commemorative stamps issued by the U.S. Postal Service.

In the movie Muppets from Space, Animal meets his match in the form of a security guard played by Kathy Griffin—after chasing her down a hallway with his "Woo-man" call, he later comes running back around the corner, yelling "HELP HELP!" with Griffin calling after him about how they’ll settle down, buy a house, and have children.

Ty Pennington commented about the possibility of Animal having ADHD when the character appeared on an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I wonder about Ty Pennington having ADHD myself sometimes he’s pretty crazy himself on that show. (love ya Ty!)

In 2010, Animal was featured in a viral video alongside power-pop band OK Go, where he challenged the band’s drummer, Dan Konopka, to a staring contest. Animal ultimately wins and forces Dan to be his roadie for a year.

Animal Demands that you go see his new movie The Muppets in theaters November 23rd. Now without further ado, here are his valuable life living advice.

clip_image001

· ROMANCE! – Animal is not much for subtlety when it comes to finding romance. His idea of flirtatious small talk usually consists of the phrase “WOMAN! WOMAN!” But it works…for him as you saw mentioned above. . As for you, may we suggest finding a slightly less assertive approach to finding love.

· NICE BUNNY! – Everyone needs a sense of security, a quiet space where they can find peace. For Animal, it’s time well spent with his bunny, whose name is “Nice Bunny.” For you, it can be anything from soaking in pond scum (Kermit) to wearing tapioca-filled tap shoes (Gonzo). Wherever you find it, embrace your bliss. Just don’t squeeze too hard.

· EAT NOW! – There are those who believe it is important to “stay hungry” in life, to put off rewards and defer gratification. Animal is not one of those. He devours life—literally—which goes a long way towards explaining his mealtime nickname: the Appetite with Legs.

· FRIENDS! – Good friends watch your back, take care of you and always follow your beat. With his band mates in the Electric Mayhem, Animal has found kindred spirits. (Oh sure, sometimes they yank his chain, but that’s only to make sure he doesn’t miss the tour bus.)

· LIVE LOUD!!!! – Anything worth doing is worth doing at high-decibel. Whether it’s playing drums, singing, expressing your opinion or simply wearing a really loud sports coat, this is a surefire way to make sure the world knows who you are, where you are and in which direction you’re headed.

Behind the Movie The Muppets Interview with Jason Segel & Nick Stoller

November 7, 2011 By 6 Comments

I’m really excited about taking my kids to see The Muppets in a few weeks, especially since I had the chance to meet, Miss Piggy, Kermit, Walter and the writers Jason Segel and Nick Stoller.

The Muppets

Jason Segel as you all know is actually in the movie and he and his brother Walter (who is actually a Muppet) are the two biggest Muppet fans in the world. And Jason not only plays this character he IS this character. His love of The Muppets helped bring this new Muppet movie to life.

THE MUPPETS

 

Nick Stroller says that The Muppets are perfect for the whole family, “Kids are just watching a goofy guy sing a song with a bunch of puppets and it’s fun. And adults are experiencing it on a whole different level and I think there’s something neat about the whole family walking away having enjoyed something together, having a shared experience.” and I completely agree. Adults get to laugh along with their kids and everyone may be laughing at a different meaning.

 

Q: Favorite Muppet Movie?

Nick’s Favorite Muppet Movie before this one: Muppets take Manhattan

image

Jason’s Favorite Muppet Movie before this one: The Great Muppet Caper. “It was just like, it was the video we had. The video you have, just watch it over. And I love the song Happiness Hotel. For some reason that song, I just love that song.”

image

Q Favorite Muppet?

Nick: Kermit first because that’s you know, he’s the best. But, but then Beeker is my favorite.

Jason: Also picks Kermit, saying that Beeker is awesome too.

Q: What is Walter like

THE MUPPETS

Nick: Walter is like the eyes and the ears of where we hope our new audience will be. Just crazy Muppet fans with a wide-eyed naïveté who think anything is possible and they’re just super, super excited to meet the Muppets.

Jason: He reminds me of what Kermit would have been like before he became famous.

The Muppets Are Coming

Something I’m really looking forward to in the movie is the improve. Jason said, and I agree after meeting them, they are SO SMART, The Muppets that is. This is what he said, “I didn’t realize how talented these puppeteers are. And I was saying, I said it a few times. I’m sorry if I’m repeating myself but their job is to be invisible basically, is to disappear. And it’s such a shame because they’re comedians and actors and hilarious improvers and they’re hiding under this table most of the time. You’ll never see their faces. That was what I walked away from most impressed by is how crazy talented guys are.”  Plus Jason himself is pretty cool and fun to watch.

Jason Segel Muppet Mania

So get ready for some fantastic talent in The Muppets November 23rd.
