    Vince Flynn’s American Assassin Out in Theaters September 15th

    September 18, 2017 /

    “Never, ever let it get personal.” – Stan Hurley, CIA Trainer A one-of-a-kind American assassin possessed of savage skills and a ferocious drive for payback is born in this non-stop action-espionage thriller rooted in the raw reality of today’s hard-to-detect enemies invisible black ops, high-level surveillance, portable nukes and murky agendas. This is the story of a 21st Century counterterrorist spymaster-in-the-making who, in a world of new rules, breaks all the old molds. But much as we’re in the midst of a new era of bold individualists, this is also a story of far-flung global agents discovering what truly matters: working together for the greater good.   Based on the…

    BRITAX INTRODUCES ITS SAFEST INFANT CAR SEAT EVER

    September 15, 2017 /

    This post and car seat giveaways are part of a campaign sponsored by Britax. Britax makes some of the safest car seats on the market.  I can still remember researching all the various car seats while pregnant with my daughter and it all seemed so overwhelming.  We ended up buying a Britax infant car seat based on the safety features and continued to purchase their brand as she grew from an infant seat to a toddler seat on up.  I always felt good buying from them as I knew them to be some of the safest car seats on the market as well as economical. This is a name and brand you…

    The Perfect Meal :: Warm Salmon Nicoise Salad

    September 11, 2017 /

      One of my favorite meals is a Nicoise salad because it has a great combination of goodies – great sources of protein – canned tuna and eggs, greens, olives and much more!  When my husband offered to make me this salmon version I was super excited!  In my opinion this is the perfect meal – especially on a warm summer day!  The recipe we found on The Wok of Life is really easy and took like 10 minutes to prepare (minus grilling of course) but overall, a very nutritious meal with very little prep work.  Enjoy!   For the Dressing: (You can also just use a yummy Italian dressing like…

      A few weeks ago I received some Pixie Dust from the crew over at Disney Moms.  They are the group that put on the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration On-The-Road Conferences that are held a couple times a year in various spots across the country.  I always enjoy going to these conferences because it just brings out the kid in me (doesn’t Disneyland do that to everyone?!) and also to hear about the cool things happening with Disney.   We also heard from social media industry experts such as Erin Glover, who is an editor for the Disney Parks Blog and Megan Sayers Chapman from Babble who provided wonderful advice to…
