The Perfect Date Night Movie: Jumanji Welcome

Looking for the perfect date night movie? I'm sharing why Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is the perfect reason to leave the kids with a sitter this holiday season.

Thank you to Sony Pictures for sponsoring this trip.

Looking for the perfect date night movie? I'm sharing why Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is the perfect reason to leave the kids with a sitter this holiday season.

Well, the holidays are just about here……and we're already thinking about New Year's resolutions.  One of our big ones this year? MORE DATE NIGHTS.  Remember when I got to attend at early screening of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle in Hawaii during the press junket?  Well, now my husband is begging to see it.  So, it's going to be our first official ( a few days early) date of 2018.

The Date Agenda: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is literally the perfect dinner and a movie film.  Want to pair the film with a fun dinner? Nick Jonas' character in the film makes a mean margarita (that leads to some of my favorite scenes), so our plan? Tacos, Margaritas and preparing for laughing more than we have in awhile.  Want an alternate option? Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was filmed in Hawaii…..so seafood or Hawaiian food would be fun to try too!

Who Will Love This Movie: Honestly?  I loved Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle WAY more than I thought I would.  The comedic timing of Jack Black and Kevin Hart is phenomenal……I was impressed with how well they both fit into their roles (and since Jack Black is body switching with a teenage girl — that says a LOT).  Dwanye Johnson, as always is hysterical and charismatic.  But my favorite part? The constant 90s throwbacks.  If you grew up in the 90s (shout out to my high school years)…..you'll be spitting out your soda as you laugh out loud.  They even include a tribute to one of my favorite 90s songs (no spoilers, but once you see it……let me know)!

If you're looking for a fun date night film, be sure to sneak away from the kids for a couple hours and put this on your agenda!

🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀ ⠀ Thi 🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀⠀This weekend we flew to Sacramento and then road tripped north to see my family up in the mountains.  It was so much fun to spend time together, and it reminded me….we are ALL one of these people on a toad trip.⠀⠀Bonus points to the VERY nice road trip vehicle we had…..the team at @MazdaUSA lent us a 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus and it was AMAZING (it even had a wireless charging dock for our phones). It made my snack stops even better (yup, we tried Dutch Bros for the first time and OMG we need them to expand to more Southern California locations ASAP).⠀⠀So, which are person are YOU on a road trip? ⠀⠀#familytravel #drivemazda
….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
