Get your morning started with Honey Bunches of Oats® Frosted Cereal

Thank you Honey Bunches of Oats® Frosted Cereal for sponsoring this post. Now available at major retailers nationwide!

During the week, our mornings are fast and furious. We all have to get up early, get ready for the day, make lunches, be sure the kids have their homework and things they need for the day, get everyone dressed, and, of course, make sure everyone eats breakfast before we leave the house. Honey Bunches of Oats is debuting Honey Bunches of Oats® Frosted Cereal and the timing could not be more perfect. The new cereal medley adds a frosty layer of delightful sweetness to the Honey Bunches of Oats flakes we all love, which are then paired with the crunchy goodness of granola bunches. The entire family loves the sweetness of the frosty layers, and it is easy and convenient for all of us each morning.

Frozen 2 Release Party

We are so excited to share with you that Frozen 2 is now on Digital and Blu-ray! We were so blessed to be invited to the world premiere of Frozen 2 back in November. It was such an amazing day. We were able to walk the red carpet, visit with the cast, take photos, the kids were so excited to get autographs, and we got to see the movie too. You can see all the fun we had here.  Today we decided to have a Frozen 2 viewing party with popcorn, snacks, crafts, singing, cozy blankets, costumes, drinks, games and more!  Click here for some fun activity and coloring sheets.

Best Kid Friendly Hotel in LA: Sheraton Universal

Over the last couple of years we have been spending more and more time in LA. We are so blessed to be invited to press junkets for movies, advance movie screenings, movie premieres and more. Almost all of these events happen right in Los Angeles and I like to stay somewhere that is centrally located, has a variety of restaurants near by, shopping, activities for the kids, and more. My favorite place to stay is at the Sheraton Universal Hotel. It checks off everything on my list and more.

Why You Should See Disney Pixar Onward

Last night we attended the world premiere of Disney Pixar Onward at the El Capitan Theater in LA. It was so much fun. We got to see the stars walk the blue carpet (we got to walk the blue carpet too), eat, drink, visit with old and new friends, play games, take photos, and experience some fun Onward activities. The kids had the best time. After the pre-party and movie screening we went back to our hotel and all of us were sitting on one bed eating room service, sharing our favorite scenes from the movie and discussing how extremely blessed we are that we get invited by Disney to see screenings, attend world premieres, meet celebrities, and live this amazing blessed life. Thank you Disney for another magical night. Onward opens March 6th.  Click here for coloring and activity pages.

Why You Need To Visit The Zone Britney Spears

Today we went to The Zone Britney Spears in LA.  It is the most immersive fan experience ever created and I loved every single minute of it. It is a life changing experience that allows you to step into the world of Britney Spears! I am the biggest Britney Spears fan. I grew up watching her on MMC, I have never missed a tour, I have seen her twice when she had her Las Vegas Residency, I still own all my concert tour tee shirts and of course I even dressed up as her for Halloween one year. To experience The Zone today was so much fun. If you are in LA you need to buy tickets and experience this for yourself. Believe me you will love it whether you are a huge fan or just like some of her songs. There is something for everyone. It is located at 6310 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90036.  It is right across the street from The Grove (my favorite shopping mall).  I suggest parking at The Grove and walking over to The Zone.  

A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood is available on digital now, and will be on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD this Tuesday, February 18th. It is a wonderful movie that stars Tom Hanks earning an Academy Award nomination for his role as Mister Rogers. The film is a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism based on the real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. In one scene, Mister Rogers takes his puppet Daniel Tiger out of a suitcase and talks about all the ways you can deal with your feelings without hurting yourself or anyone else. In that same vein, we loved crafting our own puppets as a family and having continued open communication about remembering to treat others with empathy and kindness always. 

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG IS OUT NOW!

Last month we were invited to the Sonic The HedgeHog Press Tour. It was for work and for fun, of course. We were sent to LA to cover a screening of Sonic The Hedgehog on the Paramount Pictures lot, attend the press junket and interview the cast of the movie and take photos, and attend the premiere on the Paramount Pictures lot. It was beyond amazing. We had the absolute best time.  Sonic The Hedgehog is in theaters now, so make sure you see it!
