What is your “Why?”

🌟🌟🌟

In the famous book by Simon Sinek, “Start with Why,” current and future leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs are challenged to find the most intrinsic value in their product, service, or mission. It’s not what you do or how you do it; but why do you do it?

Feedback like this captures our “Why,” in some ways better than we could ever articulate it ourselves.

It is…

✨ Crafting lifelong memories for children and their families
✨ Encouraging creative growth through imaginative play and positive role-modeling
✨ Creating a space where everyone feels not only comfortable being themselves, but empowered by their unique gifts and personalities
✨ Demonstrating the royal traits of character, confidence, and charity, which makes a true princess (or daring hero!)

And so much more. We are so proud and grateful for the opportunity to share magical experiences in our community. Thanks to the mom of a very special princess who shared these kind words from her recent birthday celebration! ❤️

Good morning, Dreamers! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather we had 😎☀️

Today, we are so excited to tell you about our newest offering this spring—PLUSHIE PARTIES! 🧸⛄️

Who needs a princess? For this special limited-time package, one of our magic-makers will drop off one of our favorite plush friends, like Olaf, for your child and their friends to play with on their birthday, and pick them back up when the event is over. Tea parties, hide and seek, pretend games—the opportunities are endless! 🫖✨

Invite one of our stuffed animal performers to your next family gathering today, and book soon! This special ends today…April Fools Day! 😂🎉

(Hope everyone also enjoys a fun-filled day full of surprises!)
