Day Two of the Disney/Pixar event was even more magical than the day before. Like I said before, Disney/Pixar had a jam-packed schedule for the bloggers on Day Two and we were ready to take it on! Upon arriving at the Pixar Studios for the second time (lucky us!), we were treated to a wonderful breakfast in the atrium. After our breakfast, we were divided into two groups; Clan Dingwalls and Clan McGuffins. I was in group Clan McGuffin. Check him out below: During this time, we … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday: Walking During Lunch
April 25, 2012 by 2 Comments
Here's a photo I took from my walk today. It was such a beautiful day for walking. I've got my walking buddies and my Nike+ sneakers with sensor to track how much I walk. I just love it! It's giving me the motivation I need to lose weight instead of staying inside sitting on my butt while stuffing my face! ;) Hope your day was just as bright! … [Read more...]

Chimpanzee, Disneynature's 4th movie, opened this past Friday in theaters everywhere and guess what? Chimpanzee made over TEN MILLION DOLLARS in one solid weekend! Incredible!

Book Review: ‘We Made You Out Of Love’
April 20, 2012 by 2 Comments
Do you have little ones asking that common dreaded question, 'Where did I come from?' I have three kids and each of them have asked that over and over again. Recently I was sent 'We Made You Out Of Love' to review and although I don't usually review books here, I decided to post about the book being that my seven-year-old REALLY enjoyed it. 'We made You Out Of Love' was written by authors, Michael Marconi and board certified pediatrician, Dr Greg Marconi, who both wanted to help parents … [Read more...]
So You Think You Can Bagpipe? #DisneyPixarEvent
April 15, 2012 by 3 Comments
This was one of the activities Disney/Pixar had planned for us while touring Pixar Studios. We learned everything there is to know about bagpipes -- from the history, to the music and even the various songs you can play. Since we inhaled so much information in a short amount of time, I thought it would be a good idea to get my Flip Cam out and record it instead. I know the video is long (not too bad - 4-1/2 minutes) but it's well worth it. Enjoy! Disclosure: Disney provided me with an … [Read more...]

iPhone 4s: Unexpected Laughs with Siri (*For Mature Audiences ONLY*)
April 13, 2012 by 9 Comments
I recently got into the "Smartphone Craze" and bought myself an iPhone 4s. I know, I know, it's about time! You should've have seen my dinosaur phone before. It was a Samsung basic phone with a slide querty keyboard -- in other words, a crap phone! The iPhone has been a phone I've been longing to own for quite some time and I can't believe I'm finally an iPhone owner. And now that I have it, I can't let it go. I'm constantly trying out new apps, texting, and checking out my new addiction, … [Read more...]
From New York to San Francisco: Pixar Studios, Footage of Brave & La Luna! #DisneyPixarEvent
April 12, 2012 by 6 Comments
Last week, I attended the Disney/Pixar Press Event in sunny San Francisco and it still feels like a dream. As I look at all the photos I took, my mind is going a mile a minute from all that we did in just three short days. DAY ONE: Upon my arrival at SFO (San Francisco Airport), I met with other bloggers in a van to head straight to our "home" for the next few days, Hotel Palomar. Once we got to the hotel, I couldn't wait to visit Pixar Studios but thank goodness we had about an hour to … [Read more...]
