Minnie Mouse Chocolate Covered Strawberries 
This post about Chocolate Covered Strawberries is sponsored from Driscoll’s. All the opinions expressed are 100% our own. Nothing shouts Valentines Day Dessert more than a Chocolate Covered Strawberry. However, we decided to make our strawberries with a twist and all the amazing chocolate flavor.

Everything tastes better on a stick, why not a chocolate covered strawberry? Create a fun 
centerpiece or a large display for a Classroom Valentines Day Party. I recommend using
 smaller sized strawberries for these.

Cut off the stems and insert a lollipop stick into the flat end of the strawberry.

Dip it into your melted chocolate. Try a variety of dark, milk and white chocolate if you are making a large display to give your guests choices. Cover the entire strawberry and tap your arm allowing any excess to fall back into your cup.

You can then dip the strawberry into another color chocolate or just fill a sandwich size ziploc bag with chocolate and decorate as you desire.

I used larger strawberries for these. Dip them entirely with chocolate and allow to harden completely.

Melt red chocolate discs and allow to cool slightly before dipping half of the strawberry in the red.

Immediately add white ball sprinkles for Minnie and Mickey
Don’t forget Minnie’s Bow. I used 2 heart candies and used a small red chocolate dot to connect them together. Allow them to cool and them add them to the chocolate covered strawberries.

Moana Reflection

Image
Moana is the best Disney movie hands down. As I watch I will point out all the many reasons why! Moana is the cutest little kid of all time  The animation is fantastic It is about the sea  Moana will be the first female leader of their tribe Moana’s grandmother is unbothered by the fact that she is the “island's crazy woman” and she stays true to herself and loves what she loves despite what others think  Moana is a huge improvement from the original Disney princesses. She has a much more realistic body image. She is not perfectly shaped as an hourglass with curves and breasts. She is still very beautiful but what makes her truly beautiful is her internal attributes. She is very active and charismatic and passionate and intelligent. She has many talents that go beyond just singing and looking pretty  Moana could fix the leak in the house but the man could not Every single song in this movie is amazing Their tribe is so friendly and relies on each other to survive

Beauty and the Beast (2017) Reflection

The 2017 version of the Beauty and the Beast is most definitely both new and improved. First of all, any movie with Emma Watson in it is going to be a great movie. I think that she played the role of Belle beautifully. She was a perfect fit to be the lead of this movie for many reason. Disney has been working very diligently to bring light to its name. Many people have been bashing on Disney over the years for portraying negative feminine stereotypes, as well as many other things. I know that Disney made a conscious effort to improve many of the flaws in the original Beauty and the Beast. By choosing Emma Watson they were choosing a woman that is known for standing for women’s rights. Emma is a feminist and has spoken out several times about the importance of equal rights as well as the importance of education for girls. Disney did not choose her to be their lead on accident.  Emma gave Belle a bigger personality than she had in the original film. She is much more independent a

Jeffords Response

Susan Jeffords’ presents many interesting ideas about how Disney films portray masculinity. In my opinion, parts of her article were difficult to understand or stay engaged with. In the beginning of her article, she talked about Ronald Reagan and George Bush and that did not resinate with me. I understand what she was trying to bring forward outside factors aside form Disney, but I think her arguments would have been more powerful if she just got to the point sooner. I thought that her use of Arnold Schwarzenegger, in Kindergarten Cop was more effective. I like that this type of film  was compared to Disney films. I think her claim that, Kindergarten Cop sends the message that “tough, hard-driving, violent, and individualistic” men are not like that by choice, is very interesting. And I honestly think this is a valid claim. In our society, men are expected to be the tough ones. They should not be emotional, vulnerable, weak, or dependent. While women are sexualized and made to feel l
