Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s Masquerade Review and Giveaway
February 3, 2011 in All Posts, babies & toddlers, Big Kids, Disney entertainment, review
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a staple in our house. I have had no less than 20 at a time stored on our DVR for the last four years. I love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for a lot of reasons. As a former teacher, I love the fact that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse exposes children to early math concepts and problem solving. As a mom, I love that my kids always answer out loud when Mickey asks, “Do you wanna come inside my clubhouse?”. I love that my boys are growing up the classic characters and learning from them at the...

Before the Blue Sky Cellar / The Magic, The Memories, and You press event last week, my friend Marcy and I had a couple of drinks at the Hearthstone Bar at the Grand Californian. I can honestly say I don’t even remember the last time I got to just sit and sip a cocktail with a friend. It was fabulous and I couldn’t have selected a better drink. I had the Raspberry Rain made with Rain Organics Red Grape Hibiscus vodka, Chambord, freshly muddled raspberries, lychee and fresh lemon juice. The drink was incredibly delicious and refreshing and if...

Today I am happy to review the Mutsy 4Rider Light stroller. Mutsy has been a well-known stroller company in Europe since 1935.

I spent a fantastic day at the Disneyland Resort with my friends Lori and Janet, my wonderful hubby, and my beautiful boys on Sunday.

Terrific Tip Tuesday: My favorite SWEET take-home treats
in All Posts, disney at home, disneyland resort, merchandise
Just thinking about these treats makes my mouth water. They are total indulgences and I adore them. The Coconut Patties are pretty much the greatest “cookie” ever. Maybe they are more of a candy…maybe they are just…awesome. Basically they are like a Mounds candy bar…only shaped like Mickey…and amazing. And then there’s the Confetti Popcorn. Oh, Confetti Popcorn, how I love the way I love you and the way I fear all of the cavities you might give me. Also known as World of Color popcorn, this delicious treat is loved my kids and parents alike. Both of these...

Today I am happy to review the Samantha Kokopax tote bag for today’s Monday Must Have. Kokopax is a young, fast growing company, created by a mom of four from Nevada. On a trip to the Northwest, she came across some beautiful fabric patterns that inspired her to think of ways she could combine modern fabrics with the simple functionality of the older baby carriers. With that idea in mind, she embarked on a mission to develop a stylish, modern and lightweight framed infant carrier that could be used every day, everywhere. With the success of the carriers (which...
