Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Home Alone, with the new Home Alone: Ultimate Collector’s Edition, and fun activity sheets inside #Giveaway #HomeAloneInsiders

It's hard to believe that the original Home Alone is getting ready to turn 25! Wow...that makes me feel really old. I remember watching it for the first time when I was 12, my husband was 15 and this movie made an impression on him because he saw it multiple times in the theater. It's a holiday tradition, it's a movie that when you want to feel that warmth of Christmas at anytime in the year you watch and enjoy. It went onto spawn 4 more sequels!

Home Alone 2 will always hold a special place in our lives, my daughter was born in December and the night she was born, right before they wheeled me into the delivery room, we were watching Home Alone 2 on the television. I remember the nurse coming into the room to tell us that we would be heading to delivery room, and my husband said “she's been in labor all day, can we finish watching the movie?” I expected he'd say that....

Check out an exclusive clip from Inside Out to celebrate the release on HD 10/13/15 #InsideOutBloggers

  ****Disney provided me with an all-expense paid trip for me to cover this great event ****  

With the huge success of Disney/Pixar's Inside Out I am sure you all have been excited for the release of the HD and Blu-Ray! I know my family and I loved the movie so very much, from the first sneak peak at the Disney Media Mom's Conference, to the Red Carpet Premiere of Inside Out to the many times we saw the film together in the theater as a family we all seemed to connect with the film in our own way. We could all relate to each and every character from times of Sadness to Joy to Anger and Fear and Disgust we go through all of those emotions each day.
Inside Out brought all those emotions out of me, an amazing feat from Pixar. Pixar never seems to lower the bar, the bar is always raised and seems to get better each and every movie. Everyone's favorite emotion filled movie is coming to an early release to HD on 10/13/15. To celebrate the early release I have an exclusive clip that you will love! Have you ever wondered if Joy was Joyful all the time? Can she really keep up the happiness all the time? Be sure to check out this exclusive clip of a deleted scene, Joy's Decline, below.

    Goetze Caramel Cream bread pudding #Recipe

    It's funny when I know something that will trigger a genuine smile from my husband, this happened when I showed him the bags of Goetze Caramel Cream candies. His eye's got big and he was excited. He loves caramel but it just wasn't the candy that got him excited, it was the memories that came flooding back to him. He was brought back to his childhood and going to visit his grandmother and the one candy she always had in the candy dish was Goetze caramel creams. 
    And instantly he opened one up, promptly poked the cream out and ate each individually....I looked at him puzzled, he explained that's the way he's always eaten them and old habits die hard!

    Check out the amazing new items from the @Microsoft Windows 10 Launch #Windows10devices



    ****I was provided a trip to experience the launch of the Windows 10 Devices, all opinions are 100% my own ****

    The worlds eyes were on NY this past Tuesday for the launch of the new Windows 10 devices. With over 110 million devices around the world with Windows 10, and 1.25 billion visits to the Microsoft Store…. you bet there were a lot of fans tuned into the web broadcast of the Windows 10 launch. I was very fortunate to attend this launch in person in Manhattan. Being a Microsoft fan for years, I love my Lumia phone, Windows 10 and even my Microsoft Zune (yes I still have my Zune, and it goes with me everywhere).

    This event was a bit of a nerd nirvana for me, to be able to see what is coming from Microsoft was amazing.  The launch was full of surprises and some shocking announcements.  The event introduced new aspects to gaming, phones, tablets and even a new laptop.

    Come on a Miles adventure! A trip to Google, meeting the creator & a new Halloween-themed Miles from Tomorrowland #MilesEvent

    Are you up for an adventure? Well I know I am always up for trying something new, or going on a quest, or any kind of adventure like Miles From Tomorrowland!  I recently had the chance to check out Google Headquarters in San Francisco, and what is more scientific and out of this world than Google Headquarters?? 

    24 other amazing bloggers and myself were able to take a look at this amazing office building that was filled with fun. A much cooler office than my office that is for sure. From a great sitting area, to a fun pool table, to heated toilet seats (yes, you read that right!) I even heard they have a slide! A slide!? Unfortunately, we did not get to go down the slide, but that would have been cool, right?  We did get to do something at Google that was even cooler than sliding down that twisty slide, we were able to talk and have dinner with a great Miles from Tomorrowland panel! They were there to get our kids excited about science and check out a new episode of Miles from Tomorrowland!
