Why I Let my Daughter Watch me Get Ready in the Mornings

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Disney Baby at Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine.

I never knew how special it would be to have a daughter. This Mother’s Day, I am reminded about that special bond between a mother and her daughter. My little girl is 2 now and it is such a fun, and admittedly, frustrating time. One of the special times that we have is in the mornings, it’s just the two of us. This is why I let my daughter watch me get ready in the mornings.

I remember watching my own Mom get ready and I thought she was so beautiful putting on her dress and applying her makeup. I loved watching her and I wanted to do it myself. I am amazed at how the tables have turned and it is now myself putting on makeup and doing my hair while my daughter watches.

I have fun memories of my mom during these times and I want to create those memories for my own daughter. It is a special time that only the two of us can have. She likes to stand on her little step stool and I give her one of my big makeup brushes, the one that I don’t really use, and she has a blast copying what I do.

I also usually have some Pandora playing and we listen to Lady Gaga or Beyonce, something upbeat, and dance around the bathroom together. She always has such a big smile on her face. It does tend to take longer for me to get ready in the mornings now but I wouldn’t trade these moments for anything!

I recently bought her a Disney Baby Minnie Mouse Health & Grooming Kit from Walmart that I knew she would love. My daughter LOVES Minnie Mouse. She has about 5 stuffed Minnie Mouses that she sleeps with, I’m not even exaggerating. I knew she would love to have her own Minnie brush and comb to use when we get ready in the mornings.

I was right! She uses it every morning. I grew up watching anything Disney so I’m glad that we can share and bond over that Disney magic as well. I really do love this set. It is so compact and comes with a carrying case so that I can keep everything together and it fits nicely in my diaper bag. This is great to have when we go out of town to visit Grandma.

If your daughter is a big Minnie or Disney fan like mine is, you should check out the Disney Baby at Walmart selection. There are so many cute things to choose from!

I look forward to having another fun Mother’s Day with my little girl. I cannot believe how blessed I am. Even though being a parent is the most difficult thing I have ever done, it is also the most rewarding.

I am cherishing these moments because I know that she is growing up so fast and soon she will be the one putting on makeup and doing her hair. I just hope that she looks back on these moments with fondness and laughter like I will.
