Celebrating Moms in May with Disney Junior!

I am quietly, full of stealth, full of excitement, packing for our family trip to Orlando next week to attend the Disney Social Media Moms conference with about 150 mom (and dad!) bloggers from across the US.  Our Canadian contingent consists of only 5-6 Canadian mom bloggers but we’ll represent, undoubtedly!  I’m so excited, and honored, to have been invited to this special event and am keeping it a secret from the kids until we arrive at the airport next week!

One very special event during our visit to Walt Disney World, is attending a royal event when Brave’s Merida becomes an official Disney Princess on Saturday, May 11th!

We’ll be spending Mothers Day at Walt Disney World so this will undoubtedly be my best mother’s day ever!  I love that moms get one special day a year just for them, but we all know they deserve so much more.

Disney Junior is celebrating moms too in May with tons of great programming including a full morning of Mother’s Day programming.  Moms, sit back and enjoy your coffee and hopefully the kids will be entertained with great Disney programming so you can relax just a bit!

What are your plans for mother’s day this year?  While mine are certainly very huge, I’m pretty sure last mother’s day my husband was working all weekend and I was home with the kids!  It’s certainly not about celebrating just one day, but celebrating and appreciating motherhood every day.  Thanks to Disney Junior for sharing all this great programming in May!
