When we made our donation to Christmas is for Kids this year I met Dave Kane. Dave is a radio personality and comedian. He does a show on our local AM radio station, WARA 1320, on Saturday mornings called Kane & Company. He and I got to talking and he asked me if I’d like to be on his show sometime. Well, today was the day. Despite a ton of ice all over the roads I was able to get over to the station for the episode. We had a really nice conversation and when the show gets posted I will link it up here.
Dave was very interested in my blog and reviewing toys and those things that I take for granted on a daily basis because I have been doing them for so long. Then as I was talking about them I began to really think about the great opportunities that I have had over the past few years from blogging. Not only have I been able to make great donations to Christmas is for Kids but I have been able to go on trips and review cars and have some fun adventures. It was nice to talk about them. So, at the end of the show Dave asks me what is next and I blurt out that we are going to Disney Social Media Moms Celebration in February and then I was like, ” Oh no! I hope the kids are not listening!” Luckily, they were not listening at that time. Allison was and the kids came in to listen right after that. Close call. Just one more day and w2e can finally spill the beans on this.
I was able to fix Andrew’s Spider-Man ornament. He was so distraught the other day when I dropped it. Some super glue and some time and it was all better. Now he’s hanging from Andrew’s tree.
Thank you to General Mills for the Personalized Bag and Cereal. While I am under no obligation to talk about this I did want to give a shout out and thank you. I opened the package last night when I returned home from Blogger Bash. Inside was a Thirty-One Bag that was personalized with BenSpark on it. This is a cooler bag that is large enough to hold two -Liter bottles of Soda standing up. Perfect for packing lunches for the whole family. Also in the package were a couple of General Mills cereals and a recipe book filled with great ideas for Summer treats.
I let the kids watch me unpack my bags from Blogger Bash and then showed them all the games and toys that they would get a chance to open on some future videos. They were very excited about the Hatchimals that I received yesterday. We actually filmed more later in the day.
After unpacking the kids and Allison went to see a play through the Tri-Boro Youth Theater. Our friend’s kids were in it. I went out and picked up my comic books. It had been a while since I had been out shopping for those. I came home with a stack of them.
We shot a couple of video unboxings and then decided to watch Disney’s The BFG. Neither of the kids were interested. Andrew fell asleep while Eva read a book. I worked on yesterday’s video and Allison watched the movie and knit. I’m going to have to swing over to my parent’s house to borrow the Back to the Future DVDs for the next time we have time for a movie. It probably won’t be anytime soon because next week begins four weeks of camps for Eva.
