Thank you to Disney for covering all my expenses to attend the Delivery Man red carpet premiere. All words and opinions are my own.

Phew!  I just returned from my trip to L.A. and to say that I’ve had a whirlwind few days would be an understatement.  I have so much to share with you all over the next few days, but I wanted to start with one of what was to be many amazing #DeliveryManEvent experiences – the Delivery Man red carpet premiere.

It was really kind of a surreal experience.  The El Capitan Theatre where the premiere was held was right across the street from our hotel- the amazing Loews Hollywood Hotel – so when we stepped outside, we were immediately surrounded by lights and people.  Delivery Man was highlighted on the marquee, and the air was full of energy.

Keep the Holidays Running Smoothly with Duracell Quantum Batteries

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Duracell.  I received Duracell Quantum batteries product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

It seems like more and more gadgets and gizmos need batteries these days.  And when you have both a teen and a toddler it seems like the number goes up even higher.  Between remotes, hand-held games, flashlights, and toys, we go through a lot of batteries.

During the holidays our battery usage goes up even more so I try to make sure I have plenty on hand.  Telling folks they can’t switch over to the football game or telling a toddler that they can’t play with their new toy because we’re out of batteries isn’t really going to go over all that well.  And if the power happens to go out during the dark days and nights of winter you want to be prepared with flashlights and battery-powered candles.

Since the very first time I visited a Texas Roadhouse restaurant, I’ve been hooked on their rolls.  They’re so warm and soft and delicious, and then they make them even more amazing by serving them with that awesome cinnamon honey butter.  The servers know how much everyone loves them and keep them coming until you can’t eat any more.

I’ve been wanting to attempt making them at home for a long time now, especially since getting my KitchenAid.  The dough hook is there for a reason, right?  So I finally got around to Googling and found a recipe to try. Continue reading »

When I first shared with you all that I would be heading to L.A. for some Disney/DreamWorks/Marvel fun, I didn’t really know how the trip could get any more amazing.  We were going to be catching a sneak peek of the upcoming DreamWorks movie Delivery Man, and then after we were going to be interviewing Vince Vaughn and Chris Pratt, two of the cast members.  I’m not really a star-struck type of person, but I’m pretty sure we’ve seen every Vince Vaughn movie ever made, so I was excited to know I was going to get to meet him face-to-face.

Delivery Man L.A. Premiere

A few days ago, though, we found that there would be a slight change to our itinerary.  The L.A. premiere of Delivery Man was being moved up and we were going to attend that, also!  Yep, now we’re walking two red carpets.  Fortunately I had picked up two dresses so I could choose my favorite.  Now I’ll get to wear both!
