I love being able to mix and match outfits! Not only does it save me closet space, it saves me suitcase space when traveling. Plus no one wants to lug around a bunch of suitcases and bags through crowded airports with little ones. Mixing and matching is totally the way to go not only for mom’s and dad’s but for the kids too.

The more outfits kids can make with the least amount of clothing pieces works for me. With just these 5 shirts, 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of jogger pants, 3 pairs of shorts, 2 sets of shoes and a cap you can make a minimum of FIFTEEN outfits! And that’s just the minimum, there are plenty of more combinations you can put together.

I don’t know about you but I love being happy and nothing makes me happy like Disney. So popping on a Disney themed outfit really makes my day start and end with a smile.

We all want to shop smart and make the most of our wardrobe right? So what could be better than a few pieces you can mix and match that give you that Disney smile day after day, outfit after outfit?

With these fourteen pieces (which include shoes, accessories and a handbag) you can make at the very least fifteen different Disney themed outfits – FIFTEEN!

And the best part? Well, Disney is the best part but you love shopping at Amazon and Target don’t you? Who doesn’t? All of these pieces are from either Amazon or Target. You don’t have to go all over the place trying to find them.

And don’t think this is just for the ladies, I’ll be sharing Disney themed fashions all week for every member of the family. So get your EARS on and let’s get shopping. It’s going to be an INCREDIBLE Summer at Disney! But even if you don’t have a trip planned just yet, it doesn’t mean you can’t go all out Disney!

The True Story of Kindness

February 13, 2018 By: Nanette

I was provided a copy of the film, Same Kind of Different as Me and a The Kindness Rocks Project Kit free of charge. This post may contain affiliate links which means I’ll receive a very small commission if you make a purchase using a link. Don’t worry, it doesn’t impact the amount you pay at all.

SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME

I’m going to start off by telling you, I loved this movie so much as soon as it was over, I hopped on Amazon and purchased the book. I want my daughter and me to read the book before we watch it again together. Yes, this is a movie to be watched with your family. Not going to give away any of the story ’cause I want you to enjoy it as much as I did. But I do want to give you a little bit of information on it.

SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME is based on a true story of kindness and stars Greg Kinnear, Renee Zellweger, Djimon Hounsou, and Jon Voight and is based on the New York Times Bestseller. Not only will you be inspired by Same Kind of Different as Me, your heart will be filled with warmth by this movie as well.

I stated earlier that this is a movie, I would watch with my kids and you can watch with yours. Same Kind of Different As Me is rated PG-13, I want you to know that. But it also received the Dove Foundation seal of approval for ages 12+.

It’s a beautiful movie about not judging people, looking beyond what you see on the outside and being kind. The fact that it’s based on a true story just makes it that much more heartwarming.

National Random Acts of Kindness Day

National Random Acts of Kindness Day is February 17th and couldn’t we all use a little more kindness in our lives? Of course, we could. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or small gesture of kindness to change your day, week, month or even life.

The world needs more kindness. I’d like to encourage you not only to take some time and watch Same Kind of Different As Me but to also make some kindness rocks. Keep reading and I’ll tell you a little about The Kindness Rocks Project. Not only will it give you a chance to spend some quality time with your kids, one of those messages you or your kids leave behind may just change someone’s life for the better.

The Kindness Rocks Project

It’s just what it says, kindness rocks. You paint a rock, add an inspirational quote or message and you leave it for someone else to pick up. Wouldn’t finding a uniquely painted rock with a word of encouragement when you need it most, sometimes unexpectedly make your day? Wouldn’t a kind unexpected gesture make your day brighter? Of course, it would. And you can do it so easily.

Kindness rocks are so easy to make and it gives you one more opportunity to spend quality time with your kids and encourage kindness. Here’s a quick “How-To” join The Kindness Rock Project. You may already have some of the items in your arts and craft box.

Gather your Kindness Rocks Project supplies

Here’s what you’ll need:

River rocks.

If you live in the city like I do, you can get some river rocks at your local craft store. 3″ to 5″ work best. You want them large and flat enough to write a message on.

Directions:

Step 1: Paint your rocks with a non-toxic paint. This will get them ready for your unique artwork and encouraging message.

Step 2: Use oil-based paint markers to write your encouraging messages and artwork. We used acrylic paint markers since we’re going to be sealing it in Mod Podge anyway.

Step 3: Flip over your Kindness Rocks and add #THEKINDNESSROCKSPROJECT to the back of each rock. This way when others find your one of a kind rocks they’ll take photographs of them and post them on social media which will encourage others to join in on The Kindness Rocks Project. Maybe you’ll even be able to see how far your kindness rock reaches.

Step 4: Last step. Paint a final coat of non-toxic clear sealant on your kindness rock. That way your artwork will be protected from the outdoor elements and your rock won’t cause any damage to the environment.

Spread Kindness

Create a kindness rock garden, leave a stone for someone to find or just give your inspiring words to someone you may know who needs the encouragement today.

Be Kind. Do something nice for someone. Make this a better place for everyone, not just on National Random Acts of Kindness day but every day.

And just one last quick reminder, respect the environment when you create and leave these inspirational rocks. Don’t leave markers or paint for others to add inspiration they may not do it a respectful to the environment manner. Click here for more information.
