Our Alternate to Sleepovers: A Hello Kitty Party

This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them helps support this website. This post may also contain items gifted for consideration.

Is your daughter begging for sleepover parties? This mother daughter sleepover is the PERFECT alternate, and bonus? It’s the perfect Hello Kitty Party set up!

Thank you to World Market for sponsoring our mother daughter sleepover.

Hello Kitty Party

What age do you think is appropriate for kids to start having sleepovers? We haven’t made a firm decision about our family’s sleepover policy, but I do know that five is too young (except for with family members).  Lately Lydia has been BEGGING to have a sleepover, but her friends’ parents are in the boat…..we all feel our kids are just a little too young.

My solution? Once a month, Lydia and I do special at home mother daughter sleepover nights.  I prepare fun activities, we eat special treats, and honestly? It’s a really fun way to plan for some quality time, and Lydia feels like she’s getting a sleepover (but I’m pretty sure we all get WAY more sleep than we would during a REAL sleepover).

This Month’s Mother Daughter Sleepover: A Hello Kitty Party

I’m not going to lie, we are total World Market addicts.  Our local store (shout out to the Sherman Oaks location) is up the street from Lydia’s preschool, and she usually comes with me to do a little shopping after pick up.  We get sauces, great wine, and decor items there.  Earlier this week we popped in to look for Valentine’s Day gift ideas, and the first thing we saw? A HUGE NEW DISPLAY: World Market just released a huge collection in partnership with Hello Kitty!

Now, you guys now we are huge Hello Kitty and Sanrio fans…..and all these new items? Seemed like the perfect theme for our next mother daughter sleepover: a Hello Kitty party!  We loaded up our cart with coloring books, delicious treats, Hello Kitty Sheet masks, the cutest lip glosses, and I may or may not have grabbed a bottle of Hello Kitty wine to keep for a future girls’ night.

I love how whimsical and fun all the products are, and they were totally perfect for mother daughter slumber party ideas and activities.

My Favorite Items for a Hello Kitty Party:

Is your daughter begging for sleepover parties? This mother daughter sleepover is the PERFECT alternate, and bonus? It's the perfect Hello Kitty Party set up!

Activities:

Hello Kitty Playing Cards: Lydia is OBSESSED with Go Fish, and these playing cards are ABSOLUTELY adorable.

Hello Kitty Coloring Books: These coloring books are SUPER cute (not gonna lie, I bought one for myself too).

Hello Kitty Pop Up Stickers 2 Pack: Anyone else got a sticker obsessed kid?  Lydia decided that these Hello Kitty were a requirement for any Hello Kitty.

Hello Kitty Sheet Masks: A mother daughter sleepover isn’t complete without sheet masks, RIGHT?  These Hello Kitty ones are adorable, and Lydia loved trying one out!

Hello Kitty Lip Balm: These adorable lip balms are perfect for a just before bedtime treatment!

Food and Drink:

Now you guys know we love a good taste test, and I was super excited to see all the fun food items that World Market and Hello Kitty released as part of the exclusive collection.

Hello Kitty Ramune Strawberry Soda: Aren’t these the cutest bottles EVER? I love how brightly colored they are!

Hello Kitty Matcha Marshmallows: I’m not gonna lie, I was DYING to see what Lydia thought of these.  We are huge marshmallow fans, and I loved testing these out!

Hello Kitty Chocolate Marshmallow 10 Pack: Chocolate, marshmallow AND Hello Kitty? These are a must try!

Hello Kitty Strawberry Rice Crackers: These adorable crackers were a huge hit, I actually just picked up another package (I got worried that they would sell out)!

📣What conversations with your kids are you gear 📣What conversations with your kids are you gearing up to have? 📣⠀
📣Let’s be honest......there are conversation topics that as parents we all know we need to bring up. From body changes to the birds and the bees to underage drinking.....as our kids get older, we’ve got a lot to tackle. And I get it, unless you happen to be a 15 years in the classroom teacher like me....this probably isn’t something you have experience with (plus, trust me....it’s a whole other ball game with your OWN kids). ⠀
⠀
📣I’m excited to team up with my friends at Responsibility.org to talk to YOU about having those talks with your family. This month is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and it’s the PERFECT time to start an ongoing dialog around underage drinking.⠀
⠀
📣 A few tips for having those ongoing conversations with your kids:⠀
⠀
📢Be human. It’s ok to not know all the answers. Your job? To lead with love and openness, and to use resources and experts to find the answers.⠀
⠀
📢Know that these are ongoing conversations. Hard topics aren’t a one and done type of dialog. As your children grow up, and have new experiences, you’ll have more conversations.⠀
⠀
📢Facts and Data are more effective than scare tactics. For discussions about Underage Drinking, I love Ask, Listen, Learn as a resource for parents and teachers. It addresses brain development, and has some REALLY cool videos and interactive tools for kids in grades 4-7.⠀
⠀
📣I’m sharing more tips and resources over on the blog today.

🌴These happy faces? Are because we spent the day lounging by the pool instead of hiding from loud machines.  If you follow along on our stories, you know that we came home from a trip to Bass Lake and Yosemite LAST week to…..WATER EVERYWHERE.  It’s all still being sorted out, but…..in the meantime there are some very big and loud machines starting the process of removing the water from our floors / cabinets and downstairs area. ⠀
⠀
🌴So when we had the chance to do a little staycation at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach after our Touch of Disney day…….CLEARLY it was a YES.  This was my first time to this property, and it won’t be the last.  Three pools, super close to a ton of fun activities (18 miles from Disneyland, and an 8 minute drive from the Lido Marina Village), plus they’ve got a GREAT dinner option and a coffee shop in the morning.  This was JUST what we needed,  now I’m just busy plotting ways to stay longer.⠀
⠀
🌴Have you done an emergency home renovation? Did you stay? Because, I’m about to vote for us just taking up residence at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach until all work is done.  You support this choice, right? ⠀

🌲I’m a check my email a million times type of person. I can admit it. I get worried when I think my cell phone doesn’t have enough power. And today? We spent the majority of the time hiking all over Yosemite National Park with zero wifi.⠀
