Princess Days: Pocahontas

It's time for another family princess day! And what's "just around the river bend"? 

It’s Pocahontas, of course! A rather weird, transcendental movie, but a musical Disney classic nonetheless.

Our family had a lot of fun with this one, despite all the inaccuracies between the title character and her historical namesake.

Princess Days: Belle

It’s been awhile since my last princess post, and this one was one of our favorites! Be… our… guest for this magnificent tribute to Beauty and the Beast!

Princess Days: Jasmine

What do an egg cup, some genie pants, a fistful of cotton, and a mouth full of crackers have to do with one another? They were all part of our second Disney princess day (click here for an explanation), all about Aladdin, Jasmine, the Genie, and Abu!

Princess Days: Sleeping Beauty

Here follows an account of our family’s recreational habits. Two summers ago, we decided to have family “princess days.” 

Now even though there are 4 of us sisters, by no means are all of us super “girly girls.” This endeavor would not mean glittery hair, makeovers, fancy dresses, or even a trip to Disney World. 

No, each selected date would be dedicated to a specific Disney princess and would involve several specific elements:

• The watching of her movie
• The reading of the original tale (if any) before Disney redid it
• The honorary wearing of a certain color
• The reenacting of a scene from the movie
• The baking and/or eating of a somehow-related food (duh!)
• The taking of many pictures!

Now, here for your enjoyment, is the first installment of our family’s “princess days.” Hail to the Princess Aurora!
