With the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opening at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 7, there is no greater time to be a Potter fan. We cannot wait to experience for ourselves Hogwarts castle, Hogsmeade, and the many treats we love so much about the Harry Potter universe. So until that day, we have some amazing magical Harry Potter inspired recipes you can make at home!
Family Night Lesson: Secret Service Mission (she: Adelle)
I really enjoy the month of February. First of all, it is short. Only 28 days! It is full of hearts, cupids, and candy! Yum. And, it is one month closer to Spring. Hallelujah! I also love that we get to celebrate random acts of kindness. There are few things that bring more happiness in life than service. This month’s Family Night lesson and activity are centered around service. I put together a fun printable to get your family in the spirit of serving–Secret Service style!

Elf on the Shelf Disney Style (she: Adelle)
This is the only year that the Diamond Celebration and the holidays will happen simultaneously. Since it’s a special year, I thought it would be fun to take a popular holiday tradition and put a Disney spin on it. I’m talking about doing your Elf on the Shelf Disney style. It would be a great way to countdown to your holiday Disneyland vacation, or even announce the gift of a future Disneyland vacation to your family!

Star Wars Disneyland Vacation Reveal and Free Printable (she: Adelle)
It is so much fun to share a Disney related craft each month, but it seems like lately the universe is buzzing with just one thing… Star Wars!

Cinderella Dress Makeover (she: Adelle)
Just like the Disneyland Resort got a dazzling transformation for the Diamond Celebration, the classic Cinderella got a pretty incredible makeover! And with Halloween right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to pretend I’m a Fairy Godmother and transform our classic Cinderella play dress into the modern version with beautiful butterfly accents. Luckily, you won’t need a magic wand to for this Cinderella dress makeover. All you need is an hour of time and a few craft supplies. Can you say Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo?

Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bars – Make Your Own! (she: Adelle)
We are in the midst of summer and that means I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! One of my favorite treats ever since growing up have been Mickey Mouse ice cream bars. I used to get them when the ice cream van would make its way through my neighborhood. Now we get them each time we visit Disneyland as a family. Because I believe in Disney magic at home, I figured out a fun and easy way to make our own Mickey Mouse ice cream bars.
