Disclosure: This conversation is sponsored by Horizon. The opinions and text are all mine.

I’ll be honest, y’all. I’m starting to run out of ideas to keep Kennedy entertained this summer. She is one active mind and really thrives on being busy (I wonder where she gets it?). The heat is scorching and there is so many fast food play area and Target trips I can handle. I’ve got her in dance and she is going to do another VBS next week. She spends a lot of time upstairs in the playroom with just her toys. It’s important to limit her time on the iPad and watching TV, although that can be an easy slump to get into, especially when chasing around an adventurous 11-month-old.

One thing Kennedy loves right now is all the princesses! Every single Disney princess movie. She loves dressing up and pretending. I had the idea to put together a little princess tea party and make it really special for her. It was really easy to do and she loved it.

I first started off telling her that we were going to have a princess tea party while Caroline was napping, and that we had to make a princess dessert for the party. She got really excited, and when I mentioned the word “sprinkles”, it was a done deal.

I love this recipe for this festive cream cheese dessert dip because it is pretty, is delicious and is very easy to make! Easy recipes are a must with a three-year-old. I incorporated a few different dessert dip recipes and came up with this one. Kennedy continually stuck her finger and licked it along the way, but luckily we were the only two human guests going to this party. She is a great helper in the kitchen! (You should see her help her daddy make pizza.)

Festive Cream Cheese Dessert Dip - perfect for princess parties, gatherings, or a fun snack that kids love!

Once the “princess dessert” was made, I had Kennedy occupy herself for a few minutes while I put the baby down for her nap and set the dining room table for our party.I ended up inviting Elsa, Anna, Belle, and Ariel. I even brought out some of our wedding china! Now daddy can’t complain that we never use it.

I let her wear her Sleeping Beauty dress, and I threw on a blue dress and an Elsa crown. We had to talk to each other in character, of course. We gobbled up our snacks and drank “tea” (ice water in the tea pot). Having a dip with some finger foods, such as the Horizon Snack Grahams and strawberries, are toddler friendly and made for a less messy experience. Kennedy told me (and her doll friends), “Thank you all so much for coming to my tea party!” Pretty much the most precious thing ever.

I really had a “DUH” moment here. We have got to start doing more things like this. This was easy to do and felt really special to her. I don’t need to think of amazing activities to do out of the house – just a few simple, fun things inside the house can be special for a toddler!

Thanks to Horizon for letting me try their Snack Grahams in Chocolate and Honey from their snack line. They paired perfectly with our dessert dip, and are a great snack alone. I love how they are made with whole grains!

    Oh my! This is basically fancy cream cheese frosting, which is my faaaavrotie on cupcakes / cake / my fingers! I’m afraid if I made it I might eat the whole thing myself. What a fun activity to do together! Owen just loves to get in the kitchen with me too 🙂

    I love that you get to take on a Princess voice. I spend a lot of my time as Sir Toppam Hatt. I had to tell Jack recently that sometimes I wanted to be Mommy instead of STH, and he needs to be ok with that, or I would never be STH again. This was after a fit that included lots of tears, and Jack stating, “I don’t want a Mommy! I want a Sir Toppam Hatt.” Now he politely accepts my decision to not be STH when I don’t want to. Namely before 7:00 AM and pre-coffee. One of my favorite movie scenes of all time was from “5 Year Engagement” when they fought while pretending to be Elmo and Cookie Monster. Love it. Makes me laugh now thinking about it.

It’s been since February 2020 (Logan was only 6 months old!) since we were at Disney World, and there were a lot of new experiences we had!

A BIG thanks to our Disney planner (and my good friend), @pixiemousemichelle! If you’re wanting to plan a Disney vacation, check her out. Her services are free and she will hold your hand through the process and during your trip if you need her!

Everything we ate (and drank) at the EPCOT Interna Everything we ate (and drank) at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! 🍽 🌐

There is SO MUCH to enjoy, and we barely scratched the surface. Also, toting 3 kids around in the heat made it a little difficult to try more of the adult beverages than we had hoped, lol. 

I have to say, the Impossible Burger slider was a pleasant surprise and probably my favorite! Also that cheese beignet….🤤

The festival is going on NOW through November 19! There are booths scattered all around the park with various offerings- they’re all small portions (and honestly affordable) so you can enjoy a bunch of different things! If you’re visiting @waltdisneyworld soon- definitely check it out! It was a first for us and this @disneyparks festival did not disappoint. 😋 #tasteepcot

🏰 Disney World so far….. (Are we still enjoyi 🏰 Disney World so far….. (Are we still enjoying “photo dumps” on IG? Are pics still a thing? I want them to forever be a thing.) One last park day today!

It’s hot and sweaty, exhausting, and magical. ✨

My favorite unexpected part of this trip is how Logan has gone on every ride he’s tall enough for (which is nearly everything)! Not yet 3 and doing everything with the big kids! Even better, he doesn’t really react on the ride but talks about it after. His ride poker faces slay me 😂 

I’ve learned a lot of new things about navigating the parks post-pandemic and with the new Genie+ system. We haven’t been since Feb 2020 and a lot has changed (so many more fun rides!!!). Overall, I think there’s been some good changes, especially if you know what you’re doing. I’ll definitely make sure to share more in a blog post to help those planning a trip soon who might be feeling overwhelmed! I also think a summer prep post is in order… 🤔

I’m in love with this easy lilac eye look I crea I’m in love with this easy lilac eye look I created with the BRAND NEW @iliabeauty Liquid Powder Matte Eye Tints! These cream-to-powder liquid eyeshadows launch TODAY! They swipe on effortlessly, are easy to blend, and dry down quickly to a crease-resistant finish. If you struggle with eyeshadows, you’re going to love these! They’re so easy to use, especially since they can be blended out only with your finger.

They come in 8 shades - there are a few punchy colors but all are super wearable. What do you think of the lilac shade (Aster)? #iliapartner #iliabeauty
