Last summer, I picked up a copy of Roald Dahl’s The BFG at the library on the recommendation of a friend. I read it out loud to my son over the course of two weeks. He really enjoyed it and I only mildly panicked at some of the seemingly gruesome nature of the story. (Spoiler alert: giants… [Read More]

Fall in love with Dory all over again with Disney’s Finding Dory
I don’t remember the first time I saw Finding Nemo, but I do remember the first time I got to watch it with my son.

Does the whole family need to see Inside Out?
The answer is yes. Yes they do. Monday evening, the husband, two kids (ages 6 ad 4 if you’re new to this blog) and I hit up our local theater for a screening of Disney Pixar’s Inside Out. We’d watched the trailers for weeks and I was eager to see if the movie would meet… [Read More]
Disney’s Maleficent: Angelina kills it
It’s been two days since I’ve seen Maleficent and I’m still mulling it over in my mind. Should you see it? ABSOLUTELY. Angelina Jolie makes this movie and she alone is worth the price of admission. As for the rest of the movie, I’m just unsure. The storyline is a good one. As with most… [Read More]
Disney Social Media Moms: The Conference
I’ve spent the past week mulling over my time in Disneyland. What do I share? What do you want to know? The bottom line is that it’s an absolutely amazing, magical place.

Cars Land is a must do at Disney California Adventure Park
Ever since my son first saw the movie CARS we’ve been a bit obsessed. The obsession fades at times, but always returns. After the purchase of the Disney Infinity game this past Christmas, a newfound love of Lightning, Mater, Sally and Doc came with it. So when I realized we’d get to see Cars Land on our… [Read More]
Maybe RunDisney will make me a runner
I am not a runner. Pretty much someone big and scary needs to be chasing me for me to run. I’ll do it if I have to. Or if a friend says “hey, this is going to be really cool, you need to do it.” But really I don’t run. Almost 11 years ago (OMG… [Read More]
Disney Junior launched “Give a Book, Get a Book” campaign at Disney Social Media Moms
Saturday morning was epic. I sat down at a lovely table to eat my breakfast with some fabulous bloggy friends when all of a sudden Genevieve from Disney Junior’s CHOO CHOO SOUL took the stage. The whole room erupted into song. All aboard the choo choo train! I thought it couldn’t get any better. But… [Read More]
