Are you looking forward to the newest Disney movie, Zootopia? This fun and zany movie is a world filled with animals, living their human like lives. My daughter has seen the commercials and is so excited to see this and I have to admit the movie looks adorable. The clip of the characters at the DMV with the sloths is hilarious, and I get it lol.... Zootopia opens in theaters everywhere on March 4th!
Be sure to click on the picture below to be able to print out the cool “Zoo” Year’s Eve party pack decorations! Use these for your party, from decorations to invites you will be all Zootopia'd up!
The Microsoft Band 2 is an amazing device to help you get a hold of your health and life!
Do you have a new year’s resolution to eat better to exercise
more? What if I told you there is a devise that works with your phone and helps
you keep track of the healthier lifestyle you are looking for? You are going to
love the new Microsoft Band 2. We just
returned home from a few days in Disney World prior to Christmas. While away we
tend to just do whatever, like eat cupcakes for dinner....and breakfast....and
lunch. It's a popular belief that calories on vacation don't count.
They do
count, and the fact that your pants are now a little snugger will let you know
that! This trip I had something that helped keep things in check, something
that let me know just how many of those cupcakes I was burning off by walking
around the Magic Kingdom. The Microsoft Band 2 is an amazing gadget that keeps you clued in on your health and it tells time
to boot!
The Microsoft Band works in conjunction with your smart phone, you pair the band to your phone and the with the help of the Microsoft Health app, you'll be all set to help get yourself in gear. This band is amazing, the sensors are so in-tune with everything it's like having a doctor and a personal trainer wrapped around your wrist. I paired the band with my Lumia phone (it's a Windows 10 phone) and the experience was amazing. I could not just track my health, but I could send and receive texts, check my mail and make calls on the band and you have full access to Cortana via the band.

have ever done in Hershey PA. What could my favorite be from all of those
amazing adventures?
Well my favorite of
this amazing trip was the visit to ZooAmerica to experience the After-Hours Tour. I know what you may be
thinking…A zoo? I know everyone here has been to a zoo at one time in their
lives, and I have been to plenty from big city zoos to small town zoos, but I
have never visited a zoo quite as cool as ZooAmerica. Visit ZooAmerica, a
year-round, 11-acre, walk-thru zoo adjacent to Hersheypark in Hershey, PA.
Stroll the tree-lined pathways as you learn about more than 200 animals from
five regions of North America. Group educational programs and tours are also

A family tradition of ours is to make
the trek 90 miles up the PA Turnpike every Christmas season to enjoy
the festivities at HersheyPark Christmas Candylane . This is a tradition in our family
that dates back 20 years (as long as I've been with my husband), his
family would visit his sister (who lived in Hershey) and would go
over to Hershey Park to enjoy the park at a much less crowded and a
lot cooler time of year. I fell in love with it.

Join Zoës Kitchen this holiday season with selfless giving! #Giveaway #delivergoodness @zoeskitchen
Labels:
Giveaway
Tis the season, for shopping decorating and baking! The stores
will be filled with gift and great items for friends and family. With all of
the splendor of the holidays, you have to take the time to take a step back and
realize the season is a season of giving. It feels so much better to give than
receive. When I had the opportunity to participate in Zoës Kitchen holiday
“selfless giving” campaign I jumped at the chance.
I love to spread the love whenever I can. For those who many not be that familiar with this company , let me tell you a bit about Zoës Kitchen a great place to eat and to cater. Zoës Kitchen is a leading fast-casual restaurant concept serving a distinct menu of fresh, wholesome, Mediterranean dishes delivered with Southern hospitality. The company has more than 165 locations in 14 states and is on a mission to deliver goodness.

The company has more than 165 locations in 14 states and is on a mission to deliver goodness.
My
mission for Zoës Kitchen was to find three friends to surprise with a holiday
gift bag that includes one $25 Zoës Kitchen gift card, a greeting card and
Spice of Life bottle to three deserving people. Now it was my turn to give the
gift of a delicious meal from Zoës Kitchen, but who would be the lucky recipients?
I have so many deserving people around me, in my neighborhood and at my work
place… After mulling over who I would give my three special holiday gift bags,
to show the spirit of the holidays with selfless giving I came up with my
recipients.
Cardpool is the perfect give and get website! #Crdpool15
It's that time of year where we have to
buy gifts for that person(s) who we never know what to get them, so
we usually get them a gift card. In turn we might be that person who
people don't know what to get and we wind up on the receiving end of
said gift card. That's great, I love gift cards as long as they're to
places I frequent. I was once given a gift card to a major clothing
retailer, but it wasn't a store I shopped at. It took me close to 2
hours to spend 50 bucks! I didn't want it to go to waste but what
could I do?
If Cardpool
had been around then I wouldn't have been in my predicament! What's
Cardpool? It's a great spot to load up on gift cards for great prices
sometimes you can get up to 35% off! Cardpool also allows you to sell
unwanted gift cards for cash, so turn a so-so gift into fast cash and
really get what you want. I have been given a chance to use Cardpool
myself and I keep wavering on what card I'm going to buy! Something
for myself like or something the family can use.....ugh! So many
choices!!

We are off to explore to find out why aren’t there more girls in the in the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math? Chatting with Miles from Tomorrowland panel of experts. #MilesEvent

#MilesEvent
****Disney provided me with an all-expense paid trip for me to cover this great event ****
Are your kids fans of the
popular Disney Junior show Miles from Tomorrowland? I know my little nieces and
nephews sure are. Recently on a press trip visit to Visit to Google Headquarters, I was
fortunate to be able to have a chat with a panel of experts that help this
great show come to life.
The panel included Sascha
Paladino, he is the man behind the character, the creator and Producer of Miles From Tomorrowland , Diane Ikemiyashiro the Director of Original
Programming at Disney Junior, a Google Engineer Angela Navarro, Dr.
Yvonne Cagle, NASA Astronaut & Consultant on Miles from Tomorrowland
and Isis Anchalee, Software Engineer.
This
amazing panel, was there to chat about the show, and to inspire and encourage girls
to get into the world of STEM. What exactly is STEM you ask? The concept of STEM,
is to get kids interested in the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math. STEM is a way for kids of all ages
to learn and grow and have fun together.
Google Engineer Angela Navarro is working on a computer science and media project, to find
out why women are making the decision not to pursue computer science,
engineering or other technical roles. She has found out that girls are making this decision, not to pursue these fields in the teen
and tween years. The #2 reason that girls are not pursuing science is the perception
of the role, and the perception is that it is an anti-social role, and there is
no room for women in that role. What they see on screen, it does not look like
them and does not make them feel welcome in the field.
