Disclosure: My family received a Bumblebee themed gift pack in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. I clearly remember sneaking into my brother's room when we were kids to play with his Transformers. I didn't know their names, but I remember the blue and yellow transformers being my favorite at that time. Fast forward decades later and I have a little boy of my own who not only loves Tranformers toys, but couldn't wait to see the ...
Movies
Sherlock Gnomes Available on DVD TODAY, 6/12!
If there's one thing my family looks forward to at the end of the week, it's Family movie nights on Friday. We go all out- everyone has dinner to unwind from the day, cleans up, and then heads to the living room with comfy pjs for a family-friendly movie. It's a great way to start the weekend, but we aren't always in agreement on which movie we want to watch. There are plenty of family-friendly movies from the past decade, but my kids always seem ...
Hot summer offerings from Disney Home Movies
Disclosure- this post contains affiliate links While summer time is all about being outdoors and enjoying the sunshine, there will be, no doubt, a few days where we will be laying low and enjoying some family movie time. Summer in NYC can be pleasant, or it can be way too hot to get out, or thunderstorms that last for hours. I welcome these days as much as I welcome the sunshine, because we get to hang out at home, truly relax, and spend ...
Celebrating the Release of Rogue One
If you are a Star Wars fan then this post is for you. We have some spoilers below, so turn away if you haven't seen Rogue One yet (But really, who hasn't!?) Last weekend we had an epic Twitter battle between The Empire and The Rebel Alliance. I was on The Empire team and had fun joining the dark side. We watched the movie on our Roku Stick after loading the movie code onto our Disney Movies Anywhere (DMA) account. If you haven't used DMA and you ...
Girls Night In: The Light Between Oceans
My friends and I try to get together at least twice a month. Some months it may be more frequently and some may be not at all. We talk everyday and keep our bond strong by sharing our parenting joys and woes together. It's nice to have amazing friends to go through this journey with. Last weekend we had an impromptu taco night at my house. What started off as definite plans the week before quickly became my forgotten plans. I had invited them all ...
Disney Titles Just in Time For The Holidays!
Disney had a pretty great year in terms of movies. They came out with sequels that both kids and their parents would enjoy watching on family movies nights. Finding Dory made its way to BluRay/DVD and Digital Copy this past week. I remember watching Finding Nemo over a decade ago, so to see Finding Dory with my daughters brought everything full circle. Finding Dory takes us back to when Dory was a young fish. We always knew she had memory ...
Yo-kai Watch: The Movie Limited Engagement 10/15/16!
A few months ago I didn't know what Yo-kai Watch was. Thankfully I have a second grader who is very into her Nintendo DS games and watches Disney XD, so she enlightened me on the game and the upcoming movie. I have to be honest, I still don't quite understand it but the kids love it and that's all that really matters when it comes to kid's shows. The most surprising thing is that the Yo-kai Watch movie will only be in theaters ONE day! ...
Have You Seen Disney’s The Jungle Book Yet?
I still remember walking through the school hallway humming "The Bear Necessities" as a child. The Jungle Book was a rite of passage as a child. There isn't anyone that I know that hasn't watched it and loved it, and now that it has made it's debut as a live action film, people are falling in love with The Jungle Book all over again. It's so nice to share my childhood favorites with my kids, and when I hear them humming that familiar song it ...
