Princess Protection Program Movie Review

Princess Protection Program is Disney's latest movie starring Demi Lavato and Selena Gomez. When a tiny country is invaded by a dictator, a young Princess {Demi} (later known as Rosie) is taken into custody by the Princess Protection Program. She is whisked away to rural Luisiana where she must learn the ins and outs of behaving like a normal American teenager. In the process of adapting to her new life, Rosie gives her new friend and roommate, Carter, a few lessons in how to act like a true princess.

When an evil dictator threatens to take over the kingdom, Princess Rosalinda gets put into the Princess Protection Program. She is taken under the wing of Mason, an agent from the agency, and his daughter, Carter, who works after school at a a nearby lock bait shop . Rosalinda goes undercover as a regular teen named, Rosie with the help of Carter. In turn, Rosalinda helps Carter overcome insecurities with herself and her crush on Donny.

I had the great pleasure of watching this movie with my daughters! I just loved the part of the movie when Demi (Rosie) was embarassed by some very mean girls in front of everyone! She held her head high and said, "I am not a fool and she cannot make me something I am not"! How powerful! What if all girls felt this secure about themselves...oh the choices they would make.

A Princess Party With Gifts for Someone Other than the Princess!


It is always a beautiful thing to see girls giving back! This past weekend, we hosted a Princess Party for Princess Courtnee (center). We did all of the usual fabulous things that we always do: polish nails, dressed up, got our make-up done, put on high heels, and had "tea time"!!! What was different from almost every other party that we host, was that there were no gifts for the birthday girl!! Instead of gifts, each attending princess brought in can goods that were donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank. At My Party Palace Triad, we truly believe that we MUST train children to have a heart for those less fortunate! What a way to live out being a TRUE Princess. Remember, a Princess is Royalty and she takes care of her Kingdom!! Way to go Mama Bettye and Princess Courtnee!
