Giveaway: Big Hero 6 Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD Hits Shelves Feb. 24th

Bighero6

Love Disney movies? Our family has a huge collection of Disney films. Of course we have all the oldies, but I feel it’s just as important to make the new movies a part of our collection, too. We celebrate weekly with family movie night and most times Disney is the choice. Of course my daughter thinks a Disney movie a day is just what the doctor ordered, so we do spend most nights catching at least half a movie and watching half the next night. You can’t go wrong with a Disney movie in the blu-ray player.

Monster Jam is one of our absolute family fun favs. It’s a bunch of fun for the entire family, all ages. Monster Jam is at Izod Center, East Rutherford, NJ January 30th and 31st. There is still time to buy tickets and enjoy the fun! Check out more about Monster Jam here and purchase tickets if you’d like to: http://www.monsterjam.com/ In the meantime, I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my favorite drivers- Carl Van Horn- Grave Digger driver. Yes, please! For years I have been sitting in the stands and thinking up questions I would love to have asked him. Now I finally had the chance. Total Awesomeness!

My boys taking a ride in Grave Digger during the summer Monster Jam.

Diane: Tell me about driving Grave Digger. It’s a definite fan favorite.

Carl Van Horn:Grave Digger is the most popular truck in the world! The fans push me to drive has hard as I can every weekend.

 

Diane: How do you get motivated before a Monster Jam event?

Carl: It seems like when I first started I had two or three things, but now it’s more that I just strap in and go. I mean, I set all the belts up loose in a certain way because we get in and out of the Monster Jam trucks so fast that I can just jump in, tighten the belts and go. I don’t like to be rushed because it feels like I’ve forgotten something. My biggest thing is just having everything set up prior to a run, so that I can belt in a lot faster and be ready to go.

 

Diane: What’s your scariest moment?

Carl: I’m pretty fearless in my Monster Jam truck. There isn’t anything I haven’t tried.

 

Diane: Besides driving Grave Digger, what do you for fun?

Carl: Spend time with my family as much as possible. And I like to play electric and acoustic guitar. I also enjoy writing my own country music as well.

 

Diane: What’s your future goal in driving Monster trucks?

Carl: Everyone’s goal is to get to the Monster Jam World Finals every March!

 

Diane: What’s your personal favorite- freestyle? Or technique?

Carl: Definitely freestyle – it’s when I can pull out all my tricks!

 

Thanks Carl, I can speak for our family. We definitely cheer for you every time! You are my son’s favorite and mine, too! You certainly have given us some awesome Monster Jam moments! Drive On! We will be there cheering you into the future and hoping to see you in the Monster Jam World Finals!

Love cuteness? We have a bit of a sneak peek for you and don’t worry it won’t spoil the whole deal for you.  Now this is a  Super Bowl first: You may have seen hundreds of Super Bowl ads but you will be hard pressed to think of any company who would apologize to their competitors on such a high profile stage – that’s what the teaser says is going to happen.  Sprint, by the way, says we will never apologize for providing the best value in wireless. Can’t blame them, we love Sprint! Check out all things Sprint here: Sprint.com

Jenga Giant For The Ultimate In Family Fun!

jengaIf you are like my family, someone is always connected to some available device. Although I personally think that there are is a lot of fun waiting in the virtual world, it disconnects us from each other in the house. With saying that, I am always in search of ideas and games that will unite us as a family. Sometimes it’s quite a challenge to find a game that will appeal to all ages of my children and keep the parents happy, too. Jenga Giant was a huge hit with our family.

First of all, the game is enormous! We loved it immediately and the set up can involve everyone young and not so young. Jenga Giant comes boxed with the pieces bagged. The instructions are easy to follow. You simply build the tower as a whole, then the fun begins! Turn by turn, we started with youngest goes first, takes out a piece of the Jenga Giant without toppling the tower. Will gravity be your friend? Our family has a million laughs every time we play. Jenga Giant stacks to over 3 feet tall. It’s quite big especially since most times we play it on top of the kitchen table. Personally, I have never won the game yet, but believe I am still trying!

The best part of Jenga Giant is that it will unite your family and friends and keep the kids unplugged and focused on the family and the fun they are having. The reaction to Jenga Giant was incredible! Be prepared though, your kids will want to play again and again and again. Usually I set the two or three game limit at the beginning so there are no issues. Good Luck if you play. You can find out more about all Jenga games right here: http://www.jenga.com/ Enjoy!
