I received a review copy of Iron Man & Hulk Heroes United in order to facilitate my review.  All words and opinions are my own.

While I was in L.A. for the #ThorDarkWorldEvent and #DeliveryManEvent one of the places I had the extreme pleasure to visit was Walt Disney Studios.  While there we caught a sneak peek of Marvel’s new Iron Man & Hulk Heroes United.  We also had the chance to chat with Executive Producer Jeph Loeb.

Walt Disney Studios #ThorDarkWorldEvent #DeliveryManEvent

He was extremely excited to introduce us to Marvel Animation Studios’ first feature-length, direct-to-video adventure.  It’s also marks the historic first occasion of having completely utilizing computer generated technology to create a super hero adventure.  The use of this CG animation results in a stunning and vibrant new addition to the animated Marvel University.

I don’t share all that many “deals” with you all, but I did want to share a couple with you today.  Cyber Monday is often one of the best days (or range of days) to shop online.  I know I’ve been looking for the best prices on the wish list items for the kiddos this year, and some of them I’ve found today.

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

I have always loved wandering around inside of Best Buy, especially around the holidays.  Nearly everything technology- and appliance-related can be found under one roof.  And when you visit one of their 1,400+ locations you get to actually play with the items and get hands-on experience before making a purchase.

There’s also lots of help to answer whatever questions you may have.  Blue Shirts and Geek Squad Agents are highly trained, knowledgeable and impartial so they can help ensure you get the perfect gifts for your family and friends – and yourself!  In years past I’ve asked them quite a few questions – about TV size, PC specs, etc. – and they were always able to point me in the right direction.

I’ve mentioned before that Ashley is a Type 1 diabetic.  When someone you love lives with a disease like diabetes, you tend to worry.  And even after all these years of managing it, it’s not always easy for her to keep her sugars regulated.

There are so many factors that go into keeping blood sugars balanced.  What she eats, how much she sleeps, if she goes for a run – all of those can send numbers up or down.  And those are just the things she has some control over.  If she happens to get sick – something she really can’t plan for – then it can get a little scary.  In the last few years, there have been at least 2-3 trips to the emergency room each year that I can remember.

I received a Play-Doh Disney Princess Design-a-Dress Boutique set in order to facilitate my review.  No other compensation was received and all thoughts and words are my own.

We have been having a lot of fun with Play-Doh lately.  She has especially loved taking her toy dogs and dinosaurs and having them walk through and make tracks.  It was a creative way to play, but I knew they made a variety of Play-Doh kits that would give her even more options.

At first I was just looking for something that cut simple shapes or maybe had a little rolling pin and stamps.  But then I came across the Play-Doh Disney Princess Design-a-Dress Boutique set.  Bubbles has been talking recently about pretty dresses and shoes and jewelry, so I thought this would be right up her alley.
