Four More Days Until the Thor: The Dark World L.A. Premiere!

Oct 312013

I can’t believe there are just two more days before I head to L.A. for the Thor: The Dark World red carpet premiere. (As I write that, the lyrics, “Lea-ving, on a jet plane” popped into my head and will likely be there for hours.) There’s some fun new Thor: The Dark World information I want to share with you before I get lost in packing, though.

Thor: The Dark World London Premiere

Thor: The Dark World recently had it’s London Premiere. These two photos from that event will give you an idea of what we can expect to see at the L.A. Premiere! Doesn’t Tom Hiddleston (who plays Loki and whom we will be interviewing) seem like such an awesome guy?

Halloween, Uncategorized No Responses »

Oct 312013

Over the past few weeks we’ve been trying to get Bubbles to tell us what she wants to be for Halloween. Every time we’d talk about it, though, she would declare that she just wanted to be “a kid” for Halloween. I showed her costumes of all her favorite characters: Rapunzel, Cinderella, Tinker Bell, even an Angry Bird’s costume for girls.

No go.

Finally Bubbles decided she wanted to be a puppy (not sure if that was the influence of the Bubble Guppies Halloween episode, or not, but hey). Except I hadn’t seen a single puppy in all our trips to various costume departments. Looking online didn’t provide a lot of help; really, the only site I’d have enough turn around time to order from was Amazon, and there was a surprising lack of decent puppy costumes there, also.

Cocktail Dresses for the Red Carpet

I can’t believe that our trip to walk the red carpet is only a few days away. From the moment I was invited I have been checking out websites for cocktail dresses at least once per day. They’re not exactly something I have a lot of in my closet; when you’ve been working from home for the last 5 years, your wardrobe tends to have more jeans than sparkles.

One of the sites that I ran across is DressFirst. I was looking for a large selection of black, red (for Thor), and green (for Loki) cocktail dresses, and DressFirst didn’t disappoint in that area. Here are a few of my favorites.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of P.F. Chang’s. All opinions are 100% mine.

Prior to moving to Louisville, I had never eaten at a P.F. Chang’s. It’s one of Ashley’s favorite restaurants, though, so just before Christmas that first year here, the four of us all went there for dinner.

P.F. Chang’s has such a beautiful atmosphere. As soon as you walk in you feel like you’re some place special. And while I wasn’t sure I’d care for the menu, as I’m a little choosy when it comes to my Chinese food, I ended up pleasantly surprised.

I received Brilliant Sky Toys & Books products in order to facilitate my review. No additional compensation was received and all words and opinions are my own.

Growing up we had basically two options when it came to shopping for toys: toy stores and catalogs. I remember pouring through those catalogs every time they came in the mail, especially before the holidays. And when we actually had the opportunity to visit a true toy store full of just toys and games, we never wanted to leave.

Now people do most of their shopping online. I’m certainly one of them; it’s very convenient and sometimes it’s easier than braving traffic and weather to visit a store. But as much as I love online shopping, it’s still a treat for me when I get to visit a cool brick and mortar store, especially when it’s full of toys.
