Disney Princess Royal Shimmer Fashion Dolls

Little Me and Free

`This is an #AD from Hasbro.

Ever since I was little girl I remember having an affinity for all things Disney. I was lucky enough to take several trips as a child to Disney World, and the highlight of every trip was meeting the Disney Princess characters. Disney Princess characters are iconic, and I am glad to be able to share their stories and my love for them with my own daughters. I have already been able to take my two older daughters to both Disney World and Disneyland, and just like me they wanted to meet the Disney Princess characters.

Gorton’s Shrimp Three-Ingredient Appetizer: Fiesta Shrimp

Little Me and Free

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of the holidays! One of my favorite things about them is getting together with friends and family to celebrate. A party is not complete without delicious food. In my family, we typically all bring a dish for holiday gatherings. Since the holidays are especially hectic with three young kids, I always try to bring something that is not only yummy but also quick and easy to make. One appetizer I will definitely be creating this holiday season is a three-ingredient appetizer featuring Gorton’s Shrimp Popcorn Shrimp. I call this appetizer Fiesta Shrimp because it tastes like a party in your mouth!

DIY Face Masks With United We Mask

Little Me and Free

This year everyone got a new accessory, a face mask. When the wearing of face masks began, I don’t think anyone could have foreseen how long it would be required. With so many masks being worn and disposed of, the importance of wearing a reusable mask was recently brought to my attention by an organization called United We Mask

United We Mask is a nonprofit organization with a mission to encourage sound public health practices and make PPE more accessible. They have provided over 10,000 handmade masks to their communities.

Last week I was invited to Maskerade Hour hosted by United We Mask. I attended this virtual event with my oldest daughter, McKenna.

During the event, in addition to discussing the importance of wearing a sustainable mask, we discussed statistics on masks, maskne (mask acne), and were read the children’s book “Smiling from Ear to Ear” by the author, Kaitlyn Chu. 

In an effort to reduce the waste created by disposable masks, I hope you can join me and my family by wearing only reusable masks. If you don’t have one, don’t worry! Here is a tutorial on how to make your own with items from your home. McKenna and I recently made our own DIY face mask, so you can follow along with us.

To get started you will need the following:

  • Fabric (12″ height x 18″ width), T-shirt, bandana, or baby blanket
  • 2 hair ties or 2 shoelaces/ribbon
  • Coffee filter, small fabric piece, or paper towel
