We are Ready for a 3Below Watch Party on Premiere Day

Andfew and Eva with our 3Below Swag

We’d like to thank DreamWorks for this free and fun 3Below gift package. Opinions of the show are 100% our own.

The new show, 3Below is premiering on Netflix this Friday, December 21. We were fortunate to receive a fun package of 3Below gear to help our enjoyment of the show. The fun items in the package included a very warm and fuzzy blanket (which I should have wrapped around me at this very moment because I am so cold writing this). And also a warm and fuzzy Corgi Butt pillow. This is hilarious!

The show is a continuation of sorts to the series Trollhunters. Guillermo del Toro created Trollhunters but also 3Below and Wizards. All three shows take place in Arcadia. The three shows are a trilogy called Tales of Arcadia. I do not know if 3Below will have more than one season before we meet Wizards. However, it all ties together and it is going to be very cool. We LOVED Trollhunters, it was a breakout hit. I am so excited to see more of the mystery unfold. Here is more about the show. Continue reading We are Ready for a 3Below Watch Party on Premiere Day

Review: Mary Poppins Returns

Mary Poppins Returns Movie Poster

That night we were invited to Boston for an advanced screening for Mary Poppins Returns which opens everywhere tomorrow! Mary Poppins is a beloved character in our home. Before our very first family trip to Walt Disney World where Eva was old enough to really understand characters we had her watch Mary Poppins. We did this because we were going to have breakfast at the Grand Floridian and meet Mary Poppins along with Tigger and Pooh and Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter. But it was really Mary Poppins that we all wanted to see. After Eva watched Mary Poppins for the first time we started a month-long viewing of that movie on repeat. Allison knit Eva a scarf that was the same one that Mary wears at the beginning of the movie. So, when we met Mary Poppins at Disney it was such a magical moment.

Meeting Mary Poppins
May 17, 2009 – Eva meets Mary Poppins for the first time.

Mary was wonderful to Eva, she recognized the scarf immediately and told Eva how much she liked it. Eva was thrilled at meeting Mary Poppins and has had a special place in her heart for the character and the original movie. So, when we were walking up to the theater Eva said, “I am hopeful that this will live up to what I know of Mary Poppins and be a good movie.” My Little movie buff at 11 years old has something that was so special to her in her childhood that she was worried that something new would change that. Luckily, she was not let down by Mary Poppins Returns. She loved it! We all did. Continue reading Review: Mary Poppins Returns
