Shaun The Sheep Movie Hits The Big Screen

Jul 23

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Lionsgate. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

If your family is anything like mine than you have probably spent a lot of time at the movie theater this Summer. From the $1 kid flicks to the pure bliss of diving into a tub of buttered popcorn, you really can’t go wrong spending part of your day in front of the big screen. We’ve watched quite a few good films during the break but there is one we have been looking forward to for months, the Shaun The Sheep Movie. A few weeks ago we got a peek of the trailer and I was thrilled when Toodie turned to me and said, “We HAVE to see that mommy!”

If you read my previous post regarding my Netflix addiction than you probably already know how much I adore the freedom to stream at my leisure. So, let’s dive on it. Here is what I have been loving this month, new and old.

Cirque Du Soleil: Amaluna #IC #Amaluna

Dec 28

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Influence Central for Cirque du Soleil. I received tickets to Amaluna to facilitate my post as well as a promotional item to thank me for participating.

In the midst of preparing for the holidays I was given the opportunity to sneak away and attend the Cirque Du Soleil: Amaluna show during its debut here in South Florida. Each year Cirque du Soleil performs a different show with a new story line. For the first time in their history, Amaluna features a cast of 70% women along with an 100% all-female band! As someone who has never attended a show quite like this I couldn’t wait to see how the music, gymnastics, story, and acrobatics fused together to create a magical performance.

What’s Streaming: My Netflix Addiction

Sep 01

Let me start by saying I am not a TV person. I rarely watch television and unless Toodie is around for a Disney Jr. fix most of the time it’s turned off or on mute. It wasn’t always this way and 10 years ago I considered myself a huge reality show junky with a DVR chalk full of trash TV. These days I just don’t have the time or desire to watch most of the programs on other than the news or a good movie. But when I do get the urge for viewing pleasure I get out my laptop and the Netflix stream-athon begins. I just started using Netflix in the past year and since then I have become slightly addicted to the convenience of watching four full seasons of my favorite shows in a row.

I don’t want to spoil too much with my review but I will share a few of my favorite elements along the way.

Movie Date With Mommy: BRAVE 3D

Jun 23

Today was the release on the long awaited Disney Pixar movie “BRAVE.” It’s been a rainy mess here in Florida and the best thing to do on a wet yucky day is see a movie. Since seeing the previews and reading the reviews, I was anxious to see what BRAVE was all about. While Toodie was not thrilled about the 3D glasses, we still managed to enjoy the movie. I think for the next movie we will skip the 3D and stick with regular viewing!
