Weekly Entertainment Roundup: Kids Movies

Oct 192013

Lots of great kids movies (and some for adults, too!) in this week’s weekly entertainment roundup. I have to say, the announcement of Second Screen Live for The Nightmare Before Christmas has us strongly considering a quick road trip to Tennessee. It’s one of my favorite movies from when I was in high school and I think it would be cool to see it in conjunction with that technology.

Bubbles has really been in love with magnets for the last few months. It started with me trying to find something for her to do while I worked in the kitchen; she loves to be my helper, but there are parts she obviously isn’t old enough to do. So I pulled down all the “fun” magnets from the top of the fridge and had her rearrange them while I worked.

She liked it so much that I gave her a dry erase board with a bunch of magnets so she could play wherever she wanted. We came up with a few different games and activities for the magnets, but the small board, we were a bit limited in all we could do. I decided to look for a magnet set that would expand our play. When I saw the MagneTalk Match-Up Adventures Kit I knew it was exactly what I had been looking for.

Thank you to Disney for covering my trip expenses to allow me to attend this great event! All words and opinions are my own.

Some days you wake up to happy surprises. You find $5 in the pocket of the jeans you put on, your spouse filled your gas tank so you don’t have to stop on the way to work, maybe the person in front of you at the coffee shop pays for your latte. And then there’s the surprise I woke up to the other day.

#ThorDarkWorldEvent #DeliveryManEvent

On that day, I opened an email that I had to read a couple of times to actually soak in. I was being invited to travel to LA and attend the red carpet premiere of Thor: The Dark World (in theaters 11/8)! Yep, that’s right – myself, along with 24 other bloggers, will soon be jumping on planes and heading to California. The Avengers and all the stand-alone movies that support the characters is one of my all-time favorite franchises, so this is incredibly exciting for me. Continue reading »
