What I thought of THE Marvel female superhero…….who should see Captain Marvel and why. What I thought of THE Marvel female superhero.......who should see Captain Marvel and why. 

Let's address the elephant in the room.  This was my first Marvel movie.  EVER.  I know, who am I?  Somehow, I just felt like I was always behind when it came to the Marvel franchise. I didn't know the background on all the characters.  Would I be lost? So many of my friends LOVE Marvel films……and I felt like I couldn't keep up.  Well, you know what made me change my tune? THE Marvel female superhero…..Captain Marvel herself.  Yes, I am aware that there are other Marvel girl superheroes.  But I'm also a huge Brie Larson fan.  So Brie Larson Captain Marvel?  That motivated me BIG TIME.

Marvel Female Superhero: Captain Marvel

Spoiler alert: I LOVED THIS MOVIE.  While this is obviously created as an integral part of the overall Marvel story……it's also a standalone film.  Yes, you will enjoy it even if you're not a Marvel expert.  And honestly? I went home and told my husband that we need to start watching all the Marvel films.

What I thought of THE Marvel female superhero.......who should see Captain Marvel and why. 

Let's talk girl power.  Brie Larson KILLED it as Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel.  The action scenes are breathtaking, and the CGI / special effects in the film? Absolutely amazing.  You guys know I'm all about strong women, and seeing her kick some _______? I loved it.

Who should see this movie? It's rated PG 13, and this definitely not one I'll be taking my five year old to see.  There is a reasonable amount of violence (it is an action movie after all), and I honestly think that she wouldn't follow the plot very well at this age.  Kids 12 and up? Will love it.  Adults? Will want to see it again.  So date night? Girls night? YES.  Book it.  And color me impressed, Captain Marvel turned this Marvel-neutral lady into a fan.  I just need to decide which film to watch next!

CAPTAIN MARVEL arrives in theatres everywhere on March 8th!

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
