    HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 :: Review & Giveaway

    January 4, 2016 /

    “A joy for both kids and adults alike.”                                                             – Greg Wakeman, CinemaBlend Hotel Transylvania is one of our family’s favorite movies!  We had a chance to see Hotel Transylvania 2 when it came out at the theaters and loved it as much as the first one.  The Hotel Transylvania sequel reunites ‘Drac’s Pack’ of loveable characters, led by “Vampa” Drac (Adam Sandler, Grown-Ups) as they try to put Mavis (Selena Gomez, Spring Breakers) and Johnny’s (Andy Samberg, TV’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) son Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot camp to bring out his vampire side. But little do they know that Drac’s grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad (comedy legend Mel Brooks) is about…

    Knott’s Berry Farm Offers Affordable Fun!

    January 1, 2016 /

    Yesterday our family spent the New Year’s Eve at Knott’s Berry Farm and had so much fun enjoying the sights and sounds that this family-friendly amusement park offers.  From the Camp Snoopy to the more adventurous rides for daredevils (my daughter) they really have so much to offer.  I like that Knott’s Berry Farm is really affordable for families and that they offer 6 easy monthly payment plans for the Season Passes. They offer live entertainment, family-friendly rides, thrill rides, great food throughout the park and shopping.  It is a great place to visit throughout the year. Here are some of our favorite things to do at the park:   Visit…

    Tips to Incorporate the Color of the Year in your Interior

    December 30, 2015 /

      Tips to Incorporate the Color of the Year in your Interior Every year the Pantone Color Institute, the worldwide reference for colors for the design professionals, selects “The Color of the Year”, a symbolic color, which supposedly reflects the color trend of the year to come. As they put it better than me, the color of the year is “a color snapshot of what we see taking place in our culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.” Pantone 2015 Color of the Year was Marsala, a deep burgundy-earthy red, and 2014 Pantone Color of the Year was Radiant Orchid, a strong and joyful purple.…

    Connecting with Loved Ones

    December 30, 2015 /

      I really like when my job pushes me to think about things – about life, relationships, and ourselves.  This month as part of the Stonyfield YoGetters group I was asked to talk with my daughter about when she feels most loved by myself and my husband.  The question is not necessarily a tough one to ask but maybe the answers might be hard to hear in the sense of finding out whether I am doing enough of what makes her feel most loved. What do you think your kids would say if you asked them: “So when do you feel loved? What can mommy and daddy do to help you feel loved?”…
