    Exclusive Interview with the Actors of Ice Age: A Collision Course

    July 26, 2016 /

      ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE – IN THEATERS NOW Scrat’s epic pursuit of the elusive acorn catapults him into the universe where he accidentally sets off a series of cosmic events that transform and threaten the Ice Age World.  To save themselves, Sid, Manny, Diego, and the rest of the herd must leave their home and embark on a quest full of comedy and adventure, traveling to exotic new lands and encountering a host of colorful new characters.  The animation for this film is just fantastic and I love the story.  I think all of us can relate to the feeling that our children are growing up just too darn fast…

    Delicious Chicago-style Hot Dog Recipe

    July 25, 2016 /

      During my visit to Chicago this past May, I was determined to try out a couple restaurants famous for Chicago-style deep dish pizza and hot dogs.  I had never had a traditional Chicago dog so I really didn’t have any expectations!  I’ve always been a ketchup kind of girl so I was in for a nice treat.  Let me say this is the only way to eat a hot dog now.  We duplicated this delicious style hot dog at home and it was super easy.  You can mix it up a bit.  Like some people like to put lettuce or cucumber slices on the dog, but by no means…

    Celebrate Bad Moms with some girlfriends – In Theaters July 29th

    July 24, 2016 /

    BAD MOMS – In Theaters July 29 In this new comedy from the grateful husbands and devoted fathers who wrote The Hangover, Amy has a seemingly perfect life – a great marriage, over-achieving kids, beautiful home and a career. However she’s over-worked, over-committed and exhausted to the point that she’s about to snap. Fed up, she joins forces with two other over-stressed moms on a quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities – going on a wild, un-mom-like binge of long overdue freedom, fun and self-indulgence – putting them on a collision course with PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn and her clique of devoted perfect moms.  I had a chance to…

    Comic Con 2016 delivers and then some!

    July 24, 2016 /

    This week I had a chance to sit down with the filmmakers, producer and stars of the upcoming Dream Works Animation movie Trolls Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick at Comic Con in San Diego.  And when I say sit-down, I mean at a round-table setting within feet of the one and only JT!  Yes, I was in heaven. Be sure to check out my post in the coming weeks about this interview and I’ll share some funny stories with you all like when Justin broke out singing Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” for us mom bloggers (we all about died).  I can say he was super down-to-earth as was Anna and…

    Start Walking and Reclaim Your Mind and Body

    July 17, 2016 /

    “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”                         ~ Albert Einstein A few months ago I decided to take time out for myself and get back in shape. I was SO over carrying this extra weight I gained from my neck injury and taking steroids (it is a real thing people) and I wanted to find a form of exercise that would fit into my busy lifestyle.  Heck, we are all too busy these days, but finding time to take care of our body is so very important. I think many times…
