On Saturday I had the opportunity to do the most girly girl thing imaginable. I let my daughter dress up in a pretty dress, one that she will call her Princess dress and took her to see Disney’s Princesses on Ice with my girlfriend and her little girl. I too put on a skirt and did my hair, just because I could.
Here are the little Princesses before the show. Look at them, so sweet! I can hardly stand it myself.
Then we got to the show. They were mesmerized for most of the first half of the performance.
They told the basics of each of the Princess stories, spending a little more time on certain ones than others. There were a couple that I didn’t even know were Princesses, but the girls didn’t know the difference. They loved watching the colours swirl and fly across the ice.
The second half was entirely about Cinderella which pleased both girls, who moments before were wanting to leave. It would seem that Cinderella has the same effect on my daughter as it had on me when I first saw it in a Cinema in England as a little six year old.
It was a wonderful day, one I am sure will be repeated again in the future. Perhaps it won’t be the same show, but I will certainly be getting dressed up in our pretty dresses and having some girly girl time just the two of us. I can’t wait.
As sure as it is March Break, it also means Cake Raffle time at J’s school. The last two years saw me slaving over intricate details and making beaches and bugs. This year was the easiest cake possible.
I made a white cake from scratch.
Used some ready-made frosting.
Sprinkled some ground cookie crumbs for dirt and added the final touch of worms and frogs.
That was it!
Hopefully next year we will be back to funky and fun, but I was more than happy to take it easy this year. It gained many tickets from J’s buddies in his class, but in the end I have no idea who went home with it.

…but…
I am going to Blogher ’10!
Someone talked me into it, I couldn’t have made this decision on my own. I still don’t fully believe that I am going to go away for a weekend to a conference (read – WITHOUT MY CHILDREN!!). When I talked to Hubby about it he couldn’t stop laughing. He still thinks that blogging is just a way for me to waste time on the computer. He told me to go and have fun in between his laughing fits.
I am nervous and excited at the same time. I look forward to meeting fellow bloggers from around the US as much as I look forward to learning how to take my blog further if I want to. I know that this is my little fun space, just for me, but wouldn’t it be nice if I could take it farther and make it something more? No? Yes? Who knows. Either way I think it will be a fantastic opportunity for me and my partner in crime to get away and chat with other crazy bloggers.
Who will we see there, are you going? And worst of all… what am I going to wear?
