Cracked Open as a Parent: My Vince Vaughn Interview

Nov 202013

Thank you to Disney for covering my expenses so I could participate in the Vince Vaughn interview. All thoughts are my own.

As part of our trip to L.A. we had the pleasure of sitting down with Vince Vaughn for a little chat. I have to say – being invited to a Vince Vaughn interview made me quite popular with my brothers, who are huge Vince Vaughn fans from way back. I believe they’ve seen pretty much every one of his movies; I know this as I was always right there beside them, watching along, too.

We were chatting with Vince about his role as David Wozniak in the film Delivery Man. Our group had just watched it the night before when we attended the red carpet premiere at the El Capitan Theatre. I was surprised that Vince knew we had been in attendance; one of the very first things he said walking through the door was “thanks for coming last night.” He also commented on our attire, as we were wearing our Delivery Man t-shirts and Wozniak Meat Company jackets.

Delivery Man opens in theaters on November 22nd and to celebrate, we’re having a Twitter party!

I had the chance to attend the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre a few weeks ago and I will tell you that this movie is amazing. I will be in line with everyone else over the weekend seeing it again with my family. It’s both heart-warming and funny, the perfect movie about family at a time when many families will be gathering for the holidays.

I received a copy of Disney’s Planes in order to facilitate my review. All words and opinions are my own.

A couple of days before I left for California, we received a copy of the Disney’s Planes Blu-ray Combo Pack in the mail. Big fans of the Cars movies, we had been excitedly awaiting the home release of Planes. When Bubbles saw the cover she immediately asked if we could put it in and watch it.

Which, of course, we did. Bubbles crawled up on the couch and sat there without squirming for the entire movie. I think that tells you right off the bat that it’s an amazing movie; anything that can capture the attention of a toddler has to be good.

My Planes Review: Dusty from Disney's Planes #DisneyPlanesBloggers

Disney’s Planes centers on a cute little orange and white cropdusting plane named Dusty (voiced by Dane Cook). Dusty doesn’t want to be a cropduster, though; he wants to be a racer. Specifically, he would like to participate in the Wings Across the World Race. The only problem? He’s terrified of heights. Continue reading »

Thank you to Disney for covering my expenses while on our press trip to visit Treasures of Asgard. All words and opinions are my own.

My first trip to Walt Disney World was when I was 6 years old, and I’ve been fortunate to visit a number of times since then; it’s probably my favorite vacation spot on Earth. But as much as I love all things Disney, I never thought that a visit to Disneyland would ever be possible. So when I found out that during our press trip to California the Thor: Treasures of Asgard exhibit in Disneyland was on the list, I was more than a little excited.

Dinosaur Train: Dinosaurs in the Snow

PBS KIDS Holiday DVD Dinosaur Train: Dinosaurs in the Snow

Dinosaur Train is a favorite in our house and we’ve been enjoying the Dinosaurs in the Snow DVD for the last few weeks. We’ve watched the dinosaurs travel to and see the North Pole for the very first time. While there Tiny, Don, Shiny and Buddy also saw their first snow. Later there was a discussion on whether or not tall trees – like Christmas trees – could really have grown from a tiny little seed. Continue reading »
