Check Off Your Honey-Do List with Help from Chores Market

Nov 122013

This post is part of a sponsored campaign with Those Media Girls and Chores Market. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I’m fortunate that my husband is very handy. If something is leaking, loose, broken, or making funny sounds, he can usually fix it. And if the roof needs redoing, a wall needs repainting, or you need a backhoe driven, he can do that, too.

The one thing he doesn’t really like to do, however, is electrical work. So the walk-in closet in our house that has no interior light (seriously, who builds a walk-in with no light?) still is shrouded in darkness after the sun goes down. And the new garage door opener that we’d like to have installed still hasn’t been.

My Thor: The Dark World’s Tom Hiddleston Interview – Behind the Man of Mischief

Thank you to Disney/Marvel for covering my expenses so I could participate in the Tom Hiddleston interview. All words and opinions are my own.

I have to say that one of the highlights for me of our trip to L.A. was the round-table interviews. It’s a great opportunity to see what the person behind some of your favorite characters is actually like. And in this case, that person was Tom Hiddleston and the character was Loki.

Let me just start by saying that Tom Hiddleston is amazing. From the moment he walked in, to the moment he walked out, he was charismatic and engaging. He was also extremely funny. In fact, as he sat down at the table in front of the room to introduce himself at the Thor: The Dark World bad guy Loki, he said “…um, I feel like I should be sitting here with a white cat and stroking it.” Continue reading »

Monsters University Review

I received a copy of Monsters University in order to facilitate my review. All thoughts and words are my own.

One of my favorite movies from Disney and Pixar in the past few years is Monsters, Inc. They put together a great cast of characters that include the lovable Sulley, the little-bit-high-strung-yet-funny Mike, and the adorable Boo. And while Roz wasn’t on screen much, her lines made me laugh every single time.

So I was extremely excited when I hear that Disney/Pixar was going to release a prequel to Monsters, Inc. called Monsters University. Most movie franchises go right to the sequel so I immediately liked that they were taking a different path. Plus I’ve always wanted a little more of the back story, as Mike and Sulley seemed somewhat unlikely friends.

Just before heading to the L.A. premieres of two other Disney movies my family and I sat down to watch Monsters U together. Bubbles had already seen Monsters, Inc. a few times and we suspected that she’d be a fan of the new installment, also. And of course, she was; she sat down and watched the entire thing from start to finish with us.

Thank you to Disney for covering my expenses so that I could attend the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre and share my Thor The Dark World review with you. All words and thoughts are my own.

Yesterday I shared with you my photos and experiences from attending the Delivery Man premiere at the El Capitan Theatre. To have had that experience just once would have been amazing! But we were fortunate enough to experience two red carpet events: Delivery Man and Thor: The Dark World.

My Thor The Dark World Review & Red Carpet Experience #ThorDarkWorldEvent

I felt a bit more like a pro the second night, as I knew more what to expect. It gave me the chance to take more in and look around more. Looking around more let me realize – um, wow, I just walked behind Anthony Hopkins (who plays Odin). Because, you know, no one knows him, right? Continue reading »

10 College Care Package Ideas for Finals Week

Gift Ideas 9 Responses »

Nov 082013

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Dove. I received product samples to facilitate my review and create my care package ideas list, as well as a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.

It’s hard to believe, but finals week at colleges around the country isn’t that far away. Thanksgiving is less than three weeks away, and shortly after students will be pulling all-nighters, cramming as much knowledge into their heads as they can. Though it’s been a few (okay, a lot) of years since I was in the same situation, I can remember how stressful both the week before and the week of finals could be.

10 College Care Package Ideas for Finals Week

One thing I always greatly appreciated was receiving a care package specifically for finals week. I was thankful of care packages sent my way any time of year, to be honest, but the ones that came around finals week were a special pick-me-up. Continue reading »
