Pirates Everywhere

So wish we had this hat back during Halloween time, we did make due with transforming a floppy black hat into a captain's pirate hat but this still would have been nice to have. The eye patch is really nices as well. The earring is a clip on earring so no need for an ear piercing. The card set is nice for playing a quick game of cards before the party or even during.

This is a great set for Halloween, Costume Parties, Theme Parties, or even just for dress up.






This Pirate set can be found on Amazon.



Perfect Pirate Game Playing set.
This packaged set is worth getting as a gift for a co-worker, teenager, friend, adult and pirate fanatic.
The special element of this bundle is that it has the perfect look of a pirate playing a game and looking the part.
The Scarf Hat and the authentic look along with the eye patch and earring also includes 1 full Pirate deck of cards.

Turn your Large Dog into a Lion

When thinking about costumes we don't always think of dressing our pets up but from time to time we do this because well, they so darn cute. We have a Saint Bernard and we have dressed her in pajamas, prom dresses with tiaras, reindeer antlers, santa hats, etc, but never a lion's mane.

Even though this doesn't really go with my Saint Bernards coat she was still a good sport in posing for a picture before giving me the sad eyes that she was not up to dressing up on that particular day. This lion's mane comes with a elastic band type material inside to help hold the mane in place on your dog's head.

You can find the Lion Mane Wig on Amazon.

Suspenders and Bowties

In the 80's it was in style for girls to wear suspenders and to be honest I still think it is kind of cute.

Making Cinderella

In case you haven't realized Halloween is just a hop skip and away from being front and center. The stores are setting up their merchandise, some people have even already started to decorate. For our family the kids are picking out what they want to be. Sure I have lots of ideas what I would like them to be for Halloween, but it really comes down to what they want to be. 

MarksvilleandMe joined with Costume Supercenter to bring you a great idea. Instead of running out and trying to find everything you need for your costume in the stores, wasting precious gas, resources, as well as time, you can sit in the comfort of your own home and shop when it is convenient for your family. 

Costume shopping 101

1. Ask your child what they would like to be.

2. Shoot out some ideas of your own. 

3. Decide on what they will be.

4. Decide how much you can spend.

5. Look in your own inventory for products you might already have. 

6. Sit back bring up Costume Supercenter and start browsing. 

My 7 year old Dorothy settled on being Cinderella from the Wedding. We have the Tiara (borrowed from my older 12 year old Princess Deanna) and the shoes. All we needed was the dress.

Once it came in she couldn't wait to give it a whirl. This dress is super nice by the way. I would even let her wear this to a special outing because it just is that nice.

Even though she wears a size 8 in girls clothes I always order costumes a size bigger so we went with the 10-12 size. A little extra room so she can get more than one wear out of it.

All of my children have loved to play dress up so we have lots of props for different kinds of play. Imagination is something I love to instill in my children and their love for creating just fills my heart with cheer. Often when the girls aren't playing Princess, you will find them fighting crime and evil by being fully dressed in Superhero Costumes. In case you are wondering Costume Supercenter has those too check the Superheroes section out.

Yes your majesty I would be honored to dance with you.

Looking to make someone Cinderella? You can find some great costumes at Costume Supercenter. They have costumes for young and old alike.

Summer Fun

Our children like to have fun but finding something for them to do each day during the summer can be a handful. As a mom I split my time between each of my children the best I can.

I was really happy to find a product that all of my girls would enjoy. I am not an artist but I didn't do half bad recreating this little caterpillar. Now to move onto butterflies.

Dress Up Fun

One thing I always liked to do as a child was play dress up so when I had girls, four of them, I wanted to make sure they had lots of dress up clothes to play with. Imagination is a great thing and one I like to foster in my child for as long as I can.

This is slotted for grown up use, but can also be used for children. You can see my 7 year old cowgirl very happy to show you how it looks on her.

Most of my children like cowgirl boots so you have to add the hat too. My daughter really liked posing with the bandanna on her face that is included with the hat. She gave me her meanest look and then started laughing. Can you tell which photo is the mean and happy one?

You can purchase the Cowboy hat with bandanna here or on Amazon. They have lots of different color combinations to choose from.
