What's with the blog title?

Well, first of all, I love alliteration. I have been trying to think of something that sums of my life as a mom. When I think of my life with both a boy and girls...this is what I came up with.
My 8 year old, Jacob is the most creative child I have ever known. Since he could walk, he has always been interested in making things, inventing vehicles, and working on projects. He is a very busy child! He has created several models of flying cars over the years and he is bound and determined to invent the real thing. I still remember him at 2 years old being fascinated by the fan machine (don't know the proper name for it) that blows up moonwalks (jumpy houses). He would drag around our little hand held vacuum, hook it up to his bean bag chair and pretend that was his moonwalk. He even would try to turn the vacuum on to simulate the sound of a moonwalk being blown up.
And then there's Alexa. Before she was born, I had not given Disney princesses much thought. Then when she was 2 years, 2 months old, we went to Disneyland. We bought her a set of 4 little glittery princesses: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, and Cinderella. The entire trip she stayed busy lining them up on the tray of her stroller and diving into her little princess world. The rest is history...it has been 3 years of obsession with everything princess. Not just princesses, but princes, magical creatures, and fairy tales. There is a fabulous show on PBS that Alexa adores called Super Why. Each show covers a different fairy tale and teaches such skills as letter recognition and sounds, problem solving, and social skills.
Natalia is starting to get into Super Why and is slowly learning the names of the princesses. I wonder if she will like them as much as Alexa. j
So, all the other cute blog titles were taken, but I think this is kind of catchy. What do you think?
