My daughter and I love Halloween! This year we decided to dress as characters from the movie Tangled. The biggest challenge was the hair! All the wigs are so thin that they would never work for Rapunzel. We bought a wig to use as a base then added a lot of extra hair extensions. Of … Read more
My husband and I knew we’d be fools to pass up this opportunity. How often does Disney make a movie about a princess who has TRIPLET siblings? You see, I have that exact lineup – a three year old daughter and 1.5 year old triplets, and knew it was meant to be. I knew this … Read more
