There was a bit of magic in the air over at Walt Disney Studios back in the nineties. A revived sense of creativity infused a golden age of animated films for the company, and being a young teen, it felt like every princess was crafted just for me...and the music, oh, the music. Needless to say, Disney princess films of this era are very personal and very nostalgic for me, and when a live-action … [Read more...]
The Nutcracker and The Four Realms Review
It's rare that I watch a Disney film, much less a Disney Christmas film, and turn to the person sitting next to me and say "what was that" and no, it wasn't in amazement. It was a very perplexed WTF reaction to a particular sequence that I just- I don't know- it was weird, yo. But I suppose there is a first time for everything and "The Nutcracker and The Four Realms" definitely is ... … [Read more...]
My Comfort Food Go-To: Abuelita’s Aguadito Recipe
This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own. Everyone has that comfort food they remember growing up. For most, it’s a chicken soup or a stew that mom or grandma made either when you were sick or during those cold winter months. Now, my mom made a killer Parihuela but that was a special occasion thing, and too rich to be comfort. My abuelita’s Aguadito, however, *chef’s … [Read more...]
How Ralph Breaks The Internet Brought The Internet To Life
Imagine having to explain the internet to someone who had never heard of it, who probably hasn't even seen a computer, what would you say? It's an invisible place that you can connect to and read and watch stories from all over the world, right? Sure, but show me how! That's where it gets tricky. That's exactly what the creative team behind Ralph Breaks The Internet was tasked to do by … [Read more...]
SMALLFOOT Review
Creating a family film, nowadays, is a complicated feat. Kids are much more technologically savvy and there are worlds of creative content just a smartphone away, and usually for free. It takes a good story, with a strong, yet not overbearing message, and a lot of wit and whimsy to keep not just a child's attention, but nudge a parent to want to spend those hard earned dollars at the movies. … [Read more...]
How That Amazing Princess Scene Came To Be In “Ralph Breaks The Internet”
The long-anticipated sequel to Wreck-It Ralph, justly called Ralph Breaks The Internet, took last year's D23 by storm when they unveiled a hilarious, and a very unexpected clip featuring all the Disney Princesses in their canon. The clip, which shows Vanellope Von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) meeting the princesses in a sitting room, sent the audience into roars of laughter, and the internet was … [Read more...]
When Heartburn Tries to Curb Your Lifestyle
This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own. I am a daughter of immigrants, and growing up, the rule was you eat whatever is on your plate. This went for the adults too. I never considered the possibility that someone *couldn’t* eat something, rather, they *didn’t want to*, and that was a no-go at our family table. As I got older, I noticed certain items disappear from … [Read more...]
What To Do If Your Pet Gets Fleas
This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own. The day we brought Lila home from the rescue shelter, we felt our little family was complete. We knew we had to learn how to care for a dog, since til then our three cats had been our only fur babies. After figuring out how many walks she needs and at what time, type of food she ate and how often, and what her favorite toys … [Read more...]
Middle School Journey With The Mazda CX-9
We were provided with a vehicle loan for the purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. The first time I drove my daughter to school, my husband and I were a mess. Sure, she'd been to preschool, but that doubled as a daycare, so in our minds, it wasn't like actually dropping her off at "school", you know? But there was the first day of kinder, and she was excited while we were … [Read more...]
“It just sounds like your childhood” Jim Cummings On “Christopher Robin” and Pooh’s Impact Today
There are some characters that are always a part of us. We never remember where or when they came into our lives, we just know that they have been there for us, in some way shape or form, as long as we have known. One such character: Winnie the Pooh (voiced by Jim Cummings since 1988). Everyone's favorite bear from the Hundred Acre Wood is back in Disney's upcoming live-action film, "Christopher … [Read more...]
