Early Mother’s Day Magic – Braving the Heat for Merida’s Royal Coronation in Disney World
We were fortunate enough to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration this year. Disney always manages to pack plenty of magic into the conference and this year was no different. As part of our conference package, we received an invitation to Merida’s Royal Coronation. The spunky princess from Brave became the 11th official Disney
Sleep Deprivation and the Jawbone UP
Lately I’ve been feeling really tired. I’m someone who gravitates towards 8 or 9 hours of sleep a night and, while I rarely get that, I thought I was hitting between 7 and 8 hours. I often take a nap in the evenings so I have enough focus to get some work done before bed. I was starting to believe that I must have some sort of serious health problem because I thought I was getting enough sleep, but was still feeling exhausted.
Run the Rainbow, Eat the Rainbow with ChopChop and New Balance
My LadyBug, much like many kids her age, is a picky eater. We encourage our kids to try new foods, but what she likes one day, she dislikes the next. It can be a battle to just get her to eat something, never mind to make sure it’s a balanced, healthy choice. ChopChop magazine and
Creating with Crayola DigiTools Deluxe Pack
As tablets rise in popularity with kids, we’re seeing more and more accessories designed just for them. One example are the DigiTools sets from Crayola for the iPad. I’ve had my eye on these for awhile, but we recently received a review set from Verizon Wireless so we could try them out at home.
Adam Shankman Suggests Acting Classes for Budding Dancers
It’s our last interview for the 2013 SYTYCD auditions in Boston. I was so excited to see that Adam Shankman was the guest judge for the day. In addition to being talented, he’s pretty funny. And it seems that he’s just as addicted to social media, as they kept trying to steal his phone away.
Nigel Lythgoe Praises Boston SYTYCD Talent
I promised you three So You Think You Can Dance Videos and then I dropped the ball. Sorry, SYTCD fans! The new season starts tonight, and it wouldn’t be the same without familiar face, creator/Executive Producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe. Once again, I had the chance to interview Nigel with fellow blogger Gilda Aliberti. She asks some
Microsoft Stores as Community Spaces
You may have seen a Microsoft store in your community and I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they sell a wide range of computers, tablets, phones, video games, and accessories. When I was asked to attend a webinar and visit a Microsoft store by The Motherhood, I’m not sure what I expected. I did not expect that Microsoft stores are becoming social spaces for learning and playing.
Mary Murphy at the Boston So You Think You Can Dance Auditions
I didn’t know what to expect when we met the judges from So You Think You Can Dance. Turns out that Mary Murphy is not only beautiful, but a really nice person to talk with. She shared with us how she found her (unexpected) passion for ballroom dancing and how she eventually won her dad’s
So You Think You Can Dance Returns for Season 10
I love So You Think You Can Dance. I think there’s a part of me that always wanted to be a dancer. I like that the show makes dancing current, exposes us all to new forms of dance, and provides a platform for celebrating talented young dancers. Plus, it’s fun to see your favorite contestants
