#GREEK MOMS, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2!!!

 On Friday we were invited to attend The Moms, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 event which was sponsored by FujiFilm Mini Instax and Windex. Im so thankful that I'm able to attend events like these but by Far The Moms events are extra special because most of them are indeed Family Friendly. Not only was I able to enjoy this event but my husband & 3 year daughter accompanied me to enjoy this great movie.  

Now if you have watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding which came out 14 years ago (OMG!!! i feel freaking old!!!) and fell in love with it; part 2 will not let you down. Filled with charisma as the first one & the ability for us as viewers to relate to the characters is why you'll fall in love all over again!

This movie is so relitable its like you're watching your family being portrayed up on the big screen!! 

So I totally give this movie two thumbs up & run don't walk to the theater to enjoy this movie with your loved ones!!!! 

The Flores Family! 

I love how The Instax Mini Camera easily allows you to print your pics seconds after you take them!

Make memories! Cherish your loved ones!!!

After the movie, Q & A with Nia Vardalos & Elena Kampouris. 

The Irish Fairy Door Company.

Today I was invited to attend a special brunch with The Irish Fairy Door Company. An amazing company which began a little over 2 years ago in Ireland and was founded by life long friends Niamh Sherwin Barry and Aoife Lawler, along with their husbands Oisin and Gavin.  A dream come true during a time of recession and now an award winning toy abroad. 

Each little door is handmade from wood, and make for the cutest little portals to a magical world. Your child's will be so happy & heart fill up with joy when listening about the magic of having a new fairy friend. The Fairy Irish Door Company has thought about everything and it shows in every package sold. Every little fairy door comes with little stepping stones to lead up to their magical door,  a fairy lease/agreement that will help explain how to take care of your new fairy, a little magic bottle that holds a tiny key that is left out on the first night and if it's gone the next morning, it means that a new fairy friend has moved in all the way from Ireland. A notepad so your child can send little notes to her fairy friend and the Fairy Welcome Guide, that explains how to register your new fairy friend online so you can receive weekly updates on your fairy and where you can name her. 

The fairy doors retail for $24.99 and are available to purchase over at:

www.theirishfairydoorcompany.com

Each little door is the doorway to new traditions and memories. I loved being able to personally talk to the founders of The Irish Fairy Door Company and listen to their story, you see just how much they really care about the kids. It was also so great to listen to them say that they have partnered with the Children's Starlight Foundation, a leading global charity that partners with experts to improve the quality of life and health of kids and families around the world. They also let us pick a NYC  charity of our choice to which they donated 10 Irish Fairy Doors on our behalf. 

The Irish Fairy Door Company, truly an amazing company.

These cute accessories are sold separately. So freaking cute!!  :)

Where we Belong.....

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to be part of this blogger world but when i get the opportunities like today I feel blessed cause i get to meet such humble, amazing, talented & such an amazing people. I have always loved Hoda Kotb's personality having had the chance to interact with her when i used to work at the Museum of Natural History in NYC i knew she was such a humble person. But today i got to know the inspirational & motivated person she is. I got to attend an event Hosted by The Moms network for her book Where we belong at the Hunt & Fish club.

I legit felt her positive vibes beaming along with her big smile!!! Hoda Kotb you're such an inspiration to Women everywhere, your kind heart along with your welcoming witty personality makes everyone who is around you feel happy & motivated. Thank you for showing that no matter what life throws at us we can overcome it.

Where we Belong...

Cheers!

Yummy!! Can I have some to go? lol

I swear it felt like we were best friends catching up!

Awesome movie premiere day!!

Today was super exciting I was able to attend two movie premieres which included my first ever live Red Carpet!!!
The first one was for The Danish Girl with a Q & A with the lead actress Alicia Vikander. I was so overtaken with emotion when seeing this movie, caught totally off guard with the powerful in my own opinion message this movie gives. I don't want to go into too much detail since i don't want to give any spoilers, but this movie gives a powerful message about Love. Love for someone you care for & how much you would withstand forth due to that love. This movie is by far a must see! You're in for an emotional yet beautiful ride with this incredible movie. 

In the evening i was so excited to attend the red carpet movie premiere of Concussion!!! Will Smith was going to be walking the red carpet being he plays the leading actor. Can we take a minute to scream & have a total fan girl moment for WILL SMITH!!!!!!!!! 
We were given the oppurtunity to be at the red carpet before seeing the movie. Concussion is such an intense film that teaches us things about head concussions to football plays. A must see for all football fans as well as non football fans.

Red Carpet Premiere!! Concussion.

OMG!! WILL SMITH!!!!

New members to family Game Night!

My little family & I usually enjoy game night every Saturday night; Sundays are also filled with games weather its on the PS3 or good old fashioned board games. Thanks to Hasbro Gaming we recently added Bop it: R2-D2, Monopoly: Star Wars Edition & Mashin' Max to our collection. Hasbro sent us these wonderful games for us to review. My daughter was super excited when she saw R2-D2 & her reaction was priceless when she saw that it was Bop it!! At only 2 years old she has mastered the Bop It concept! She felt a little bad bopping R2-D2's head at first but then just went about playing with it, now she even sleeps hugging him!
We have already spent our gaming days playing the games & enjoying quality time with each other. A more detailed review will come in a few days but for now I leave you with a few pics of when we received the package!
Thanks HASBRO GAMING for the wonderful opportunity of reviewing the games but also giving us  priceless memories as a family!!!

                       

Doing a little dance before opening the package! 

She got so excited when she saw it was games!!

"Mommy take picture with R2-D2 before I play" Lol

This is just the cutest!!! We love it!!!

Coolest Monopoly ever! Even the play pieces are Star Wars related!!

My Husband another Bop It feen, took the game away from our daughter so he could set the high record! (For now, lol)

Before we played she wanted a pic with all the games  :)
