January
We spent the month at home cleaning and organizing. We participated in some virtual press junkets, screened lots of shows, movies and did some shopping.
February
We attended the SCL Disney event. I literally purchased every single fanny pack, backpack and patch! We met the owners Libby and Kendall and started a life-long friendship. It was the best day! We celebrated Valentine's Day at home. Our tradition every year is spending it as a family and making home made heart shaped pizzas.

I am so grateful for the opportunities, events we were invited to attend and all the fun we had. There is nothing more important to me than making memories with this family of mine.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for following along, reading this blog, following me on my social media outlets and always caring for our family. We worked with so many amazing companies/ brands and interviewed so many wonderful celebrities and screened so many movies for Netflix, HBO Max, Paramount+, Disney+, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and more. It is always such an honor to be asked to screen movies early and share my reviews and thoughts. It has been a blessed year and I can't wait to see what 2023 holds.
