Celebrate the Evolution of the Lego Brick with The Lego Movie 2 Mini Installation & NYC Screening Ticket Giveaway #TheLEGOMovie2 #AwesomeWeek

Can you believe that 61 years ago today an awesome patent was signed and the very first Lego brick was born? Those colorful bricks have encouraged countless hours of building fun and stop motion video creating among kids of all ages and although those tiny pieces are clearly the enemy of every parents feet, i'm personally grateful for the endless imaginative play and creativity they have encouraged in our home.  I bet just like my two monsters, your kids are counting down until they can check out The Lego Movie 2. Who would have guessed that these building bricks would have evolved into a tremendously popular series of Lego movies? 

Grab Your Tickets to NYC Screening of "Second Act" Starring Jennifer Lopez

SECOND ACT is a heartfelt comedy that will inspire audiences to believe that it’s never too late to create the life you want. Jennifer Lopez returns to the big screen in an empowering, signature role that proves your dreams are always within reach regardless of your age, background or zipcode.

I’m such a fan of J Lo and the relatably funny characters she’s portrayed over the years, and in her role as born and raised Queens girl Maya Vargas, she’s hoping that her 43rd birthday wish for a promotion comes true.

The Emoji Movie: Not as Poopy as the Critics Make it Seem & a Few Fun Interviews #EmojiMovie

Let's face it, we're all so darn connected {maybe too connected} that sometimes it's just a lot easier to throw up a smiley face, a thumbs up or side eye emoji to quickly express what's on our mind.  And Seeing as our daily lives are consumed with the usage of apps that help us get through the day, whether it be a space to save our photos and keep our family schedules organized or a strategic game to keep the monsters entertained on our commutes all over the city, we honestly admit that we really wanted to see Sony Animation's new family friendly release of The Emoji Movie. The usage of emoji's has been a fun + simple way to express ourselves without the complexities of trying to find just the right words to get your feelings across and it's a form of communication that unlike trending slang seems to have no age barriers. Gotta love when the grandparents text back using them, it's kinda cute! This week we had the chance to screen the film before it hit theaters and leading up to it's release I had the opportunity to sit down with some of the cast and director of the film Tony Leondis.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows Review #TMNT2

Unless you've been living underground in the sewers over nearly the last 3 decades {I can't believe they've been around that long, hubby says I'm dating myself}, you are oh too familiar with the multi-generational, beyond cool, TMNT pop-culture franchise that has ensued a long lasting surge of Turtle Mania worldwide. Earlier this month I had the chance, thanks to Paramount Pictures to treat my boys and long time friend Sergio to an early screening of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows that picks up right were the   version leaves off and follows the return of the heroic foursome Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael who return to battle notorious bad guys who plan to take over the world.
