Bowser rides a horse and Dr. Eggman jumps off the high dive. Luigi and Tails go on a quest to free Mario & Sonic from the Tokyo '64 video game console, where they've been trapped as retro 8-bit and 16-bit versions of themselves.


Get everyone together and go for the gold with Mario & Sonic! Here are two quirky ideas to create your own fun mem(e)ories this holiday season:

Take a Leap of Fun: Jump off the high board, tap some buttons, and nail a splash-free execution in the 10m Platform Diving event with retro-style gameplay. Peach always keeps her crown on too, somehow. 

Paddle, Paddle Mario: In all his 2D, sprite-filled glory, show off Mario's strong arms as he paddles his way to victory in Kayak!

 Brand New Story: Help Mario and Sonic escape from a 2D-themed console, the "Tokyo '64," hatched as part of Dr. Eggman's and Bowser's nefarious plans to trap the colorful and capable power pair.

A Bountiful Medley of Events: Skateboard, surf, and race your way to the top of the podium! With more than 30 events to master in this fun-filled Olympic Games showdown, there are plenty of ways to prove your skills to your friends in local and online multiplayer.

Push the Boundaries: Dream Events deliver a layer of fantastical chaos. Zip through a downhill obstacle course on your hoverboard, throwdown for territorial control with lightning-fast karate action, or smash the most targets inside a traditional Japanese manor!

Mary was able to check out the game early and she is in love. She has always loved Sonic and Mario so what makes a better game then to combine them? She said the game is very fun and you can also play online against other players from around the world. That's her favorite part because it gives a real challenge. Overall, she is super impressed with the game and how the events are family friendly.

This year has sparked a lot of new changes for our family. And our dietary habits is one of them. Mary decided that she wanted to become a vegetarian and my husband and I both became vegans. It wasn't super hard at first but the first step we took was literally to get rid of all meat, egg and milk products in the house. That way we weren't tempted.

Flower crowns are super popular right now so I wanted to make a quick tutorial on how to make them! It's a lot easier than you think and you will only need a few supplies.

• floral wire
• floral tape
• wire cutters
• greenery and flowers

I have been in love with pinafore dresses for months now after seeing so many all over Instagram! I love how easy they are to wear, how comfortable they are and how vintage they look!

The last time I paired up with BelleofBallVintage, we decided to make a lovely dress with heart pockets. But this time, we decided on an apron style pinafore with wooden buttons in the back. I wanted a really bright color and fell in love with the lavender color she helped find me too.


The back of the dress has beautiful wooden buttons to keep it closed. It also has criss-cross straps on the shoulders. The skirt had some pleating as well since I don't like when skirts are too tight on the bottom. This one had just enough flare to it.


To make it really feel vintage, I paired it with a peter pan collar blouse made from a 1940's pattern, my stockings and 1940's reproduction shoes. I also pinned my hair back a bit to give it a bit of a farm girl feel.

This dress is super versatile too because another day I ended up wearing it with an embroidered Hungarian blouse underneath and it looked adorable!
