Disney Classics Box Set

By: Jessica Keeton

Disclosure: I am participating in a blog post campaign from One2One Network and Walt Disney Records. All opinions are my own.

One of the many perks of being a parent means you get to act like a kid again, whether it’s playing dress-up, building a fort, or having a tea party. It also means, you get to relive all your favorite Disney movies that you loved so much as a child.

As a child, I can remember watching my favorite Disney movies over and over again, memorizing every word, every song, every detail. Convinced the flowers would sing back, I’d lay by the garden singing “All in the Golden Afternoon” from Alice in Wonderland. Mary Poppins always reminded me that when I was sick, having to take medicine was just “A Spoonful of Sugar.” Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs literally taught me how to whistle by singing “Whistle While You Work.”

These and other Disney musical classics like Bambi’s “Little April Shower,” Cinderella’s “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes,” Peter Pan’s “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” Sleeping Beauty’s “Once Upon A Dream,” and 101 Dalmations’s “Cruella DeVil” all bring back fun and loving memories from my childhood. These songs and my other favorites like Jungle Book’s “The Bare Necessities,” The Aristocats’ “Ev’rybody Wants to be a Cat,” Robin Hood’s “Whistle Stop,” The Rescuers’ “Someone’s Waiting for You,” and The Fox and the Hound’s “Best of Friends,” have proved just how big of an impact they’ve had in my life.

I remember major events from my childhood from Disney’s songs. I can remember having to get my tonsils out and as they were waiting for my medication to kick in, asked me to sing a song. The Little Mermaid’s “Under the Sea” was the last song I sang before going under.

Sure as a parent, watching our children’s shows over and over again can get a bit rough, but not when it comes to Disney classics. It tends to be a role reversal in our home, with my children telling me it’s time to turn Aladdin, Lady and the Tramp, The Nightmare Before Christmas or Pocahontas off.

Remembering every word to these songs over 25 years later has allowed me to share and create new memories with my children. Now as they memorize these same songs, we’re able to not only sing together, but create memories that they’ll look back on. Having children of their own someday, they’ll be able to teach them the same great songs I taught them. Disney has not just made an impact on my family, but families everywhere. Families who create their own special memories.

Disney has helped to shape the world of movie music and is now giving everyone the chance to be a part of something magical. What better time than now, with the holiday season coming up, to own a piece of Disney music history with the Disney Classics Box Set!!!

The Disney Classics Box Set includes 4 discs of 94 original recordings! Discs include Disney Modern Classics, Disney Theme Park Classics, Disney Timeless Classics and Disney Television Classics.

Liquid Chalkers Chalk Markers Review + Giveaway

By: Jessica Keeton

When summer ends, it's my responsibility as a parent, to hide every piece of chalk I can find, in order to prevent endless debates. Trying to explain why you can't go outside and draw on the sidewalk in the middle of December to a three year old, is a battle you just won't win. After attempting to ease my daughter's sidewalk chalk withdrawl with an art easel, we ended up with a multi-colored carpet and a very expensive carpet washer.

Liquid Chalkers from Paper & Twine, are not only mess-free and fun, but they'll bring out the creativity of everyone in the family. Liquid Chalkers can be used year-round and there's no age requirements, so you can bring out your artistic side whether you're 3 or 83.

Liquid Chalkers come in a pack of eight vibrant colors including green, purple, red, orange, pink, yellow and blue. Each chalker has a 6mm Chisel Tip and has a marker body that's perfect for those little hands. Liquid Chalkers also come in 4 packs with your choice of either colors or white or you can purchase individual white chalkers.

Liquid Chalkers are designed for use on non-porous surfaces and are perfect for mirrors, chalkboards, windshields, whiteboards, glass windows, art projects, ceramics and more. While using these, I made sure to test out a small section and had success with every surface I used.

Liquid Chalkers are so easy to use and perfect for any family with kids. You just shake the Liquid Chalker, then press down on the tip until the ink flows through. That's it. When it comes to projects, the possibilities are endless.

Ideas For Kids: You don't have to spend a lot of money on supplies. In fact, you probably have all these surfaces in your home. I purchased two small mirrors at the dollar store. $2.00 was all it took for endless days of fun for my kids. Just to be on the safe side, I placed a tablecloth down, along with the mirrors and Liquid Chalkers. I let my kids do the shaking and away they went.

Easy Cleanup: Cleanup is so simple, you're kids won't mind doing it. Use a tissue, baby wipe, wet cloth or sponge and just wipe away.

Liquid Chalkers are perfect for:
Daily, weekly and monthly reminders. Have a dentist appointment, job interview, or after school activity you just can't forget? Write it on a mirror or whiteboard!

Forget lipstick! Don't waste your expensive makeup writing love notes on the bathroom mirror. Show your significant other how much you love them with Liquid Chalkers. Whether it's a love note, date night or cute message for daddy, Liquid Chalkers make it easy for you to show your love without wasting the lipstick you love.

With the holidays coming up, Liquid Chalkers are perfect for writing cute notes on the bathroom mirror.

Working late? Is the babysitter in charge? Let your kids know that you're watching even when you're not there.

Use stencils, painter's tape, or let your creativity run wild to create a fun art piece that you can show off in your home. 

Teachers can set their classrooms apart, throwing away the broken chalk pieces for fun and colorful chalkers. Liquid Chalkers will have students begging to volunteer, just to have the chance to write on the chalkboard. There's no comparing traditional chalk to Liquid Chalkers. See for yourself.
