Ah, the jet-lagged me is exhausted but that doesn't hide my love for flying nor my love for Disney. Here's our latest Disney round up! Have you see the latest Disney's Planes Takes Flight spot? Featuring music by the film's composer, Mark Mancina, this spot makes me wish Planes came out before August 9th!

Best #Burger #Recipes -"Revival Melt" to revive the Northeast after #Sandy?

Well, Sandy has left millions jilted in it's wake. This week after Hurricane Sandy has been a tad crazy. Many shiver without power, shelter, and food. Mile long lines and people waiting hours in gas lines. Never in the history of New York, or even anywhere I've lived, have I ever seen such chaos...grocery stores shelves close to empty, the public transport system debilitated, lower Manhattan powerless, and the New York Stock Exchange closed for 2 days. Incidences so rare that it's like seeing the Loch Ness or Bigfoot in the middle of the dessert.

Auntie Anne's Yummy Samples and Sweeps! #food

I love Auntie Anne’s pretzel dogs! I, however, have very rarely actually sampled any of their pretzels. Have you? There’s sometimes an Auntie Anne’s crewmember outside the stores offering samples of fresh, hot pretzels. Auntie Anne’s has started a fun risk-free taste of specific pretzel products every Saturday until Saturday, Nov 10. During Sampling Saturdays, you’ll find bite-sized samples of the featured pretzel or sips of the featured lemonade flavor available for your tasting pleasure. Guests will also get to play games to win instant prizes with scratch-off cards. Instant prizes include free Signature Pretzels (Original, Cinnamon Sugar, Sweet Almond, Garlic, Sour Cream and Onion, Sesame, and Jalapeño) and free 21-ounce fountain drinks.

#Walmart Mom of the Year Award Finalists are here! #MOTY

Did you ever get a chance to nominate a super mom for Walmart's Mom of the Year Award (#MOTY)? 16909 moms were nominated in total and this is only the first year! Pretty amazing, right? I can't imagine how big this will get next year in 2013! However, we are now down to one of 8 finalists. You can read them all on www.momoftheyear.ca. All with compassionate and caring stories, it really warms my heart that when one of them win, not only will they win $10K, their hand-picked charities will also win $100K. Can you imagine how much good that will do? Having personally experienced what others go through, I believe each and every one of these to be a worthy cause. It's going to be a tough pick.

#Disney The Odd Life of #TimothyGreen #Review

BlogHer was full of fun and one of my favorite parts was the screening of Disney's The Odd Life of Timothy Green. I read the reviews my blogger friends wrote before and I was warned. Yep, trust me to completely forget about the warnings and walk in totally unsuspecting. Yet, there must've been something lingering in the back of my mind as I chose not to sit with my blogger friends. LOL, why? I cry easily during movies...I think I've mentioned this before...show me blood, guts, and bones, I'll be fine. Take me to a movie and I'll bawl my eyes out. #TimothyGreen shakes up the town of Stanleyville and my heart in a tumultous up and down film.

#Canadians, #CircleSquare Ranch wants to send you to Punta Cana, #Mexico #Sweepstakes #Camp

Summer is coming! Are you sending your kids to summer camp? If so, I have a couple recommendations for you, some life changing kids camps. They have perks too...how about sweepstakes for a trip for 2 to go to Punta Cana, Mexico plus some free camp time! Keep reading to find out more! The first one is #CircleSquare Ranch. You know, I visited the site and was surprised! I can't believe I lived in Canada for over 20 years and never even heard about it.

Nominate your Mom for the #Walmart Mom of the Year Award #MOTY #MothersDay

How was your Mother's Day? Did you spend it with your mother or your kids? I'm quite far away from my mom right now and was happy that I was able to Skype with her, even for a few minutes. When you don't see your mom all the time, every moment that you do get becomes precious. In celebration of Mother's Day, nominate someone you feel deserves Walmart Mom of the Year Award. I would love to nominate my own mom and grandma, although I am not eligible to win. I believe my grandmother is one of the most caring mothers of all time. She has always been absolutely positive no matter what happens to her, be it sadness or tragedy. She stays strong and smiles for the sake of her children and grandchildren. She forgoes everything for the sake of her family and easily gives up her own happiness just to put a smile on the faces of those around her. When my mother was just a child, their family was poor and so, my grandma would often go without food so that the kids could eat. No matter how little she had or how upside down their world was, it did not matter, taking care of her family came first. She was never cynical, she was never mean, and she would never harm a fly. She is the epitome of kindness and caring and if possible, I'd nominate her for Mom of the Century! She is what inspires my mother and I to become better people. Got a great story to tell or want to recognize your mom? Nominate them for the Mom of the Year Award.
