She’s a seven year old who still adores all things Disney and pink.

Her smittenessment (technical term) began when she was a toddler:

And we humored her:

Even when we werent really feeling it (YES. I am in the role of the witch…):

Not surprisingly, she also loves all things PRINCES.  If by PRINCES you mean her DADDY–which we do:

  1. That’s so cool she’s going to see Disney! A princess should see Disney at least once in her life (and so does tomboy Mom)!

    have fun!

  2. WOW. What a great day you must of had. I am loving the pics and I really really like the tattoo on your leg. That must of took a long time to complete. <3

  7. That is SO awesome! I love Disney! My favorite childhood vacation was a trip to Disney and I can’t wait to take my son there!

  16. I STILL love going to Disneyland as an adult. In fact, I am going next month. 🙂 She is going to be in awe seeing everything for the first time!

  25. Congrats to you!! So exciting for your little tornado princess!!
    Both of y’all totally rock the tutus!!!

  27. She is so adorable. She is definitely going to have the most amazing time. We went in 2011 and my son still talks about the experience!

  29. OK, you live in the Bay Area now… GET THEE TO DISNEYLAND! Seriously, OAK to LGB is our preferred route, go look at airfares now!

  35. Shall we call you Big Time from now on? 🙂
    Seriously though, you do put the authenticity in social media.

    Congratulations, Carla.

  39. Congrats on being selected as Disney Social Media Mom! Um, not that I’ve seen the other selectees, but I’d take a gander that you’re one of the coolest ones chosen.
    Tornado is going to be on cloud (or tutu?) nine!
    Can’t wait to hear more about the awesome opportunity and experiences it gives you and your family!

  42. congrats!!! What a bonus for the tornado. 7 is the perfect age for disney. Key to a Disney vacation is to have zero expectations. Have fun, roll with what rides are doable, and soak it all up. Standing in line for characters she loves is worth it. Standing in line for 75 minutes for a ride is, IMO, not worth it. You’re a roll with it family, so you’ll have a wonderful time.

    I wore my first tutu this year at the Disney Princess Half Marathon at WDW. I did 13.1 miles in that thing, and it wasn’t as distracting as I thought it would be. It was FUN to dress the part of princess (we wore tiaras all weekend). A sea of tutus in that race. And lots of princes, too–the guys are my favorite. Frogs, princes, Mad Hatter. Lots of men supporting their wive/girlfriends with t-shirts that say silly things like “She’s my queen” or “I’m her prince.” I’m doing it again next year and can’t wait. Disney does races right.

  43. Congrats – you guys will have a blast! But now that you’re living in Cali, it’s easy to zip on down to Disneyland for a couple days…we went on Christmas Eve one time and it was awesome – no lines. Of course, this was nearly 30 years ago so people may have caught on by now, but hey – try it! 🙂

  44. Congratulations! That is awesome. She is going to be so excited. You and your family are absolutely adorable. Don’t ever let her stop loving princesses 🙂 I have friends to this day that are still obsessed with Disney and yes, they are a bit older, but I don’t think anybody will ever be too old for princesses or a tutu.

  49. Disney World has such a magical charm. I know someone who was proposed to by her fiancé in front of Cinderella’s castle. I tried to convince my husband to get us on the waiting list for staying in Cinderella’s castle. That would be the ultimate Princess experience!

    P.S. Your abs are way too tight to be a princess 🙂

  57. So so awesome! She is going to love it. Kev and I adore Disney and can’t wait to get back. Hopefully we’ll see Mickey in July. We have another 4-5 years before we can take our granddaughter (she just turned 1 lol) but we talk about it all the time.

    And we can’t wait to visit Disneyland sometime soon!

    Congrats on the great opportunity.

  58. My niece (who’s now 16!) still LOVES Disneyland (and all things Disney). She and her folks have been 4 or 5 times AND she and her mum went to Tokyo Disney in January. In fact they’ve just bought a time-share place in one of the Disneys in the US and are planning their next trip for December.

    Emily’s desperate to work there once she finishes school here in Oz. Apparently they have some Internship program she’s going to apply for. (She’s a good student, ballet dancer and pageant regular, so I’m sure she’ll be a shoe-in.)

    PS. I don’t get the Disney thing.

  62. Loved all the pics, especially the little angel, she seems to be really a little princes ruling her tiny Disney kingdom! god bless her!

  65. Oh, I cannot wait for the pictures that will result from Princess Tornado’s first visit to The Mouse House – yay!!! Call when you’re going and I’ll meet you there with my tiara and sparkly Toms.

  67. You probably hear this all the time, but the Tornado was the cutest little toddler and is the cutest 7 year old! What awesome parents you two are! Just unreal! It will mean even more to her that you are doing this since you are not your typical girly girl princessy mum! GO YOU!

  69. You surely are game for anything and I think that’s the reason why you are very suitable to be a Disney mom. Your daughter would be one of the happiest girls in the planet right now.

  70. How cool is that?! Your daughter is so after my own heart! I love princesses and everything Disney. So much so that my husband proposed to me in front of cinderellas castle underneath the fireworks. (The only way it should ever be done in my opinion) 🙂
