Disney Princesses

As parents so much comes our way that we must sift through. Before the new Disney Princess movie was released (The Princess And The Frog) all the toys and clothes were out. I thought the kissing frogs were cute. I also realized they have done Asian, Indian, and white princesses, but not black. Before Christmas I spoke with a woman who took her children to see it. She talked about how evil it was. She said if you are fine with seeing "demons" swirling around the room while someone seeks wisdom from them, then you would be fine with the movie. She said it freaked her kids out and they hid their faces. At hearing that I decided it was a movie we could skip. Yes there's a spirit world and I want Kaitlyn to know that, but I don't want her to think we go to the devil for advice. I don't want her to think it's cute or funny either to play around in the spirit world like that.

Now I'm no fool. There's magic in all the Disney Princess movies. Some I see as worse then others. I remember seeing Little Mermaid for the first time and being taken back by the sea witch and how evil she was. However there's some I forgot about. Over the weekend Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs was on TV. We were all sitting around watching the cute little guys wash up remembering when we watched it as kids. Then we were back to the evil... step mom? What was the lady who sent her away? I don't know. Anyway, the movie has really dark points. I totally forgot about all of that. I just remember Snow White cleaning up with all the animals. And of course the seven dwarfs.

For Easter I want to get Kaitlyn Joy Gigi God's Little Princess DVDs. At least this way I know she will be learning some good principles too.

Strawberry Shortcake Outfit

I made Kaitlyn a new outfit by Sew Sensible with a Strawberry Shortcake print. She was a big hit at church yesterday. I also made her a big pink bow with a ribbon strawberry in the center.

I also made my cousin's baby a Strawberry Shortcake outfit for his daughter's 1st birthday. She is smaller then Kaitlyn and living in Southeast Texas so I shortened the top and bottoms to make them cooler to wear this summer.

Laci's bow is folded different then Kaitlyn's, but the strawberry is the same. I have a feeling she is going to look like she has ruffles sprouting out her diaper. Hehehe...

I made Laci a dress by CarlaC Dolly Designs out of purple Disney Princess fabric too. I added a ribbon around the waist so the dress could be cinched up to fit Laci's skinny Minnie self better. As you can tell by the tissue paper I snapped the last two pictures just before packaging them up to send off. I don't know if post offices in the US were closed Saturday, but our base post office was. I wouldn't have pushed to get everything done in time if I knew I couldn't mail it until this week; "everything" includes four additional bows then the two pictured.
