MARVEL’S CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR – GIRLS REFORMING THE FUTURE CHALLENGE – Winner Revealed

The Captain America Challenge Finalists

I just watched this great video about the outcome of the MARVEL’S CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR – GIRLS REFORMING THE FUTURE CHALLENGE. The video shows the 5 young women who were the finalists for the challenge. It also reveals the Grand Prize Winner who will participate in a week-long internship at Marvel Studios. That is some pretty amazing stuff and each of the young women had a great S.T.E.M. idea that they presented. The video shows the women on a Walt Disney Studios tour, walking the red carpet for Captain America: Civil War and more.

This video is going to be a must watch for Eva. I know that she loves Science, Technology, Engineering and Math but to see young women who are creating amazing things with it is an inspiration not to be missed. This challenge was an exciting one and when Eva gets older I hope that there will e something like this where she can participate as well.

Here is a new video with Elizabeth Olsen (“Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch”) and Emily VanCamp (“Sharon Carter / Agent 13”) sharing more information about this program and the finalists:

What it Means to be a Princess #NationalPrincessWeek with #MermaidMagicSofia

Eva with Mermaid Magic Sofia the First

For National Princess Week, Just Play sent us a Mermaid Magic Princess Sofia and a few blind bag Sofia the First mini collectibles to play with and review for free in exchange for an honest review. However, we did not open the Sofia the First Mermaid Magic. Eva had other plans. Watch and see.

National Princess Week is April 24-30! I am very proud of Eva. She cares so much for other people and she knows that kindness is something very important. When I showed her that we had the Mermaid Magic Princess Sofia I knew that she wasn’t too excited and felt that it was something for a younger child. But, rather than open it because it was something that she thought I wanted from her she asked if we could donate the toy to a child who would be more suited age-wise for the toy. She’s growing up and it is sneaking up on me. I still think of her as my little princess. However, now she isn’t one of those delicate little princesses, she is a strong independent princess who is up for adventure and ready to get out there and make a difference.

Sofia the First Series 1 Blind Bag Collectibles

Eva does still like Sofia the First and because of that she decided to keep the mini collectibles and unbox the 3 blind bags that we received. She was pretty happy to get the ones that she got. They look really nice.
