Snow White

Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved Snow White. Yes, that little girl would be me. My father made a big production out of taking me to see it for the first time in the theater and I remember getting all dressed up for the special event.  If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, without hesitation I would tell you, "Snow White." I'm sure the fact that I look very similar to Snow has nothing to do with it. Honest.

Flash forward to present day. I still love Snow White and her seven little friends. I still collect vintage and vintage looking memorabilia and best of all - I now have my very own mini-me, er, I mean mini-Snow in my daughter.  Thankfully she loves her as much as I do (ok, I admit it, she might have been influenced just a little bit) and just like me her first movie in the theater will be none other than - you guessed it - Snow White.

The movie comes to theaters about every 10 years so for us to be able to experience it on the big screen is incredible. To add to my excitement, it's playing at the very special Disney theater in Hollywood, The El Capitan. The El Cap provides a live action pre-show before the movies with dancing Disney princesses and an elaborate, interactive exhibit after the movie. I’m in Snow heaven.

The movie is playing for a short, limited time from September 19-October 1st only. There is also a character breakfast before the 10:00 a.m. showing. Show times vary.

Picture People Coupon

Picture People coupon for a FREE portrait plus 35% off.

We all love photos of our kids. No matter where you go to have them taken, you'll generally end up walking away with a picture that you love. But some places stand out for having a better quality and experience. I've tried several studios to capture Ava's milestones such as Sears, Kiddie Kandids and Picture People.  All achieved my goal catching cute images of my kiddo, but one stood out as my favorite - Picture People.

I love the simplicity of their plain, white backgrounds. I was pleased with their level of patience and ability to bring out Ava's adorable expressions even on one of her most uncooperative days. They were fast and friendly, but most importantly I was impressed with their quality and pricing. There is a package for every budget and they will work with you until you are satisfied.

The coupon they are offering is incredible. From now until September 12th, you can receive one FREE portrait PLUS 35% off additional portraits and merchandise. Enjoy!
