Disney Pixar Coco: Now Available on DVD


**Disclaimer: We were provided with an edition of the movie

I have been waiting for this.  For both Coco and a good Disney movie, one that I feel comfortable taking my kids to and one that is good enough to purchase.  This is it! I am so in love with this movie, I can't say enough about it! This movie really warmed my heart.  There are points in the movie where it will take you places you didn't see coming. Plot twists, unexpected moments, moments where you will feel warm and fuzzy and moments when you'll find tears rolling down your face.  Definitely a movie the entire family will enjoy and will take home having a new appreciation for family.  Take a break from the hustle and bustle, from the shopping and electronics and take your family - I guarantee you will love this movie!  We give this movie five out of five stars!!

My 13 year old daughters review:
It was amazing! I really loved all the characters. My personal favorite was Hector. Even though he didn't know Miguel, he still treated him like family. I loved how he was so protective over Miguel. You really need to watch out for a big plot twist. I also loved how passionate Miguel's family is. They really look after Miguel and make sure he is independent and responsible of all his rules. Over all, this movie is probably one of my favorite Disney PIXAR movies I've ever seen.
SYNOPSIS:
Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history.

Directed by Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”)

Voice Cast:              Gael García Bernal, Anthony Gonzalez, Benjamin Bratt, Renée Victor

Absolutely Love this time of year!!

Celebrate!



We love to celebrate!  Any little chance we get to have fun, laugh, enjoy and make memories is good in my book!  This year, I’ve resolved to have more little moments of celebration in the New Year. We all look forward to the big celebrations, like Christmas, New Year’s and July 4th. But did you know there are so many other quirky holidays on the calendar just begging to be commemorated? What about a slice of garlic bread for National Garlic Day? Some pet cuddles for National Cat Day?

I’m excited to share that I’ve partnered with viral holiday website National Today to share the ultimate 2018 holiday celebration calendar. Below, you’ll find the most exciting holidays for the next couple months!  Throughout the year we will be posting more — so you can party all year round with us. 

I love celebrating at National Today because, not only do they clue me into each month’s holiday—they also give some fun holiday history, facts that will blow my mind, and helpful deals that help me celebrate in style.  This is great if you have kids!  We homeschool, so throwing these facts in and getting a chance to celebrate gives my kids memories that they will never forget and maybe even carry on with their own children. 

Remember to mark these holidays on your calendar, and cheers to a 2018 full of celebration!

Here are a few classic February holidays. Galentine’s Day, anyone?

Pineapples on pizza, yes or no? The debate rages on.

Galentine’s Day (Feb. 13)
This classic holiday was made famous by Parks and Recreation.

Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14)
Let’s be real, isn’t all of February pretty much Valentine’s Day?

It can literally make someone's day!



MARCH HOLIDAYS
Get ready to celebrate these 5 holidays … but remember to beware the Ides of March!

 National Pancake Day (Mar. 7)
‘Pan’ I have a whole plate of these?

 International Women’s Day (Mar. 8)
In my book, every day should be Women’s Day.

 Ides of March (Mar. 15)
Did you know “ides” actually means “15”?

 National Puppy Day (Mar. 23)
We all deserve a puppy (or five).

 Red Nose Day (Mar. 24)
This holiday is huge in the U.K. — it’s comedy relief for charity!
