Since becoming a mom my trips to the movie theater have dwindled, significantly. Gone are the days where I see a preview for a movie I'm interested in and then go see it opening weekend. Now I try and remember commercials I see for films I want to watch once they are released for at home viewing. This is the case for Tom Hanks' latest film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. I was enchanted by Hanks' portrayal of Fred Rogers in the commercials and trailers and that's why I'm so excited to share that A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood will be available on digital on February 4th and 4K Ultra, Blu-ray and DVD on February 18th. This family film is rated PG and will be a bit old for my toddler but I know one thing she'll be interested in seeing, the bonus material featurette, Daniel Tiger Explains: Practice Makes Perfect. 

Confession: I have not seen Frozen 2. I know, I know, bad Disney mom, bad Disney princess fanatic and just bad Disney fan all around. With two under the age of three, getting to the movies is in a word, TOUGH. We can't even finish a movie at home by the "running time" listed on the back of the cover after the kids go to bed. This is not to suggest in any way that I haven't been excited about Frozen 2 because I have been and I've been waiting to hear when Frozen 2 would be available on Blu-ray and I am happy to share Frozen 2 arrives home digitally on February 11th and on Blu-ray February 25th!

Did you know if you want your child to join a preschool in September you need to be on the phone and registering that January (or sooner)? Let me tell you, I did NOT know that and discovering preschools in my area were on waitlists for the school year starting in EIGHT MONTHS was quite shocking. Having worked at a daycare that also housed preschool classes I knew what I was looking for but I had no idea I was behind on looking. If you are not behind on looking but aren't sure what you're looking for, I have a list of questions you should ask on your next tour broken down into three different topics.

I grew up going to Disney. We went almost every other year and once I hit adulthood my trips tapered off (much to my chagrin). So I love consuming all things Disney via social media, watching movies and TV shows, collectors items, and purchasing gifts for (myself) my kids. I kept seeing social ads for something called Walt Life. An unofficial subscription box services that delivers Disney magic right to your door.

"and at last I see the light".. Recently my second born daughter turned one. I cannot believe it. Where did her first year go? There were times in the beginning when it felt like a slow crawl of days dragging on and up-all-nights but the year really did speed by in retrospect. Now as a mother to 2 under the age of 3, I have gained experience in a lot of areas, one of them being party planning.

Do your kids love Nick Jr. shows like Paw Patrol, Shimmer & Shine, and Blue Clues? Then Nick Jr. Live is perfect for them! Recently my family spent the morning singing songs with "DJ Rubble", Dora the Explorer, and Molly and Gil from The Bubble Guppies.
