If you caught my Toy Story 4 movie review a few days ago, I may have left one tidbit out….the Toy Story 4 cast was in Orlando last week, and I had the opportunity to interview them! Living in Orlando has its perks with all of the theme parks nearby, but it also offers celebrities of Disney films another option for special appearances and press events. With the recent addition of Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios, it granted the perfect backdrop for the Toy Story 4 cast to hold their latest press conference for the film.

Where are all my Bachelor Nation superfans at? (Raises hand really high) I have been a long-time fan, like since episode ONE with Trista Sutter! I brought the hubby on board several years back, and we watch every season of Bachelor and Bachelorette while sipping wine.

Inspired by the film, these three handsome dance pros took time out of their busy schedules to teach us a special dance, and it was SO much fun!

Last month I headed to LA for a girls trip with my mother in law. We spent a week visiting some of our favorite TV and game shows, like America’s Funniest Home Videos and The Price is Right! We had so much fun! If you’ve ever wanted to plan a trip to the Los Angeles area and visit your favorite TV shows, it’s pretty easy to grab tickets. I’ll share a bit more on how to do that later.
For now, I want you guys to head to your TV and record the latest episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos on The ABC Television Network, airing this Sunday at 8pm ET. We had amazing seats, so you’ll definitely be able to spot us!

Take a step back in time with ABC’s new comedy series – The Kids Are Alright. Can you imagine having 8 boys and only having one bathroom? I have two boys and I’m grateful they have their own space! While in LA earlier this month, we visited the ABC set for a tour as well as cast and crew interviews. Caleb Foote (one of the older boys in the series) was kind enough to allow 25 ladies to follow him around for the afternoon!

Misty Copeland felt joining Disney’s Nutcracker was an organic fit, after all, she is a Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre, so what better person to play the role of the Ballerina Princess in the film! Here’s our exclusive interview with Misty Copeland on joining the cast of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

Stepping on the set of ABC’s Station 19 TV Show was bittersweet. I hadn’t laid eyes on a fire truck since Sept 22nd of this year. My cousin’s husband was a 20-year firefighter and we lost him a few days earlier. I had never been to a funeral with such an outpouring of love for an individual who serviced the community. The police vehicles and fire trucks were lined up on the highway for as far as we could see from our limo. When we passed fire stations on our way to the grave site, firemen were standing at salute. His 6-year-old son rolled down the window to wave at the firemen and women. Soon after he was in uncontrollable tears when he realized he couldn’t take daddy home with him.
I stepped on the Station 19 set with the hope of some healing. After all, I have been a Grey’s Anatomy fan since the very first episode, and I looked forward to chatting with Showrunner & Executive Producer Stacy McKee who left Grey’s to work on the spin-off show Station 19. While the hit drama is a television show, I soon learned that it’s much more.

Jim Cummings is a fan favorite – known for his many voices as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Darkwing Duck, Geppetto in Pinocchio, and Ray the Firefly from The Princess and the Frog, among many others. His talent as a voiceover actor began in 1986 and he took over Sterling Holloway’s role as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger after his passing. I had the opportunity to sit down with Jim Cummings at a beautiful “Friendsgiving” lunch in Los Angeles last week. Here’s my exclusive interview with Jim!

This was my backup dress. I had planned on a beautiful princess gown, but even with my tallest shoes, it needed hemming. I think things work in mysterious ways though because this dress color was spot on with the Nutcracker’s Land of Flowers Realm – which just happens to be my favorite one! After stopping at the step and repeat to snap a few photos, we headed inside Disney’s Nutcracker and the Four Realms Premiere party. Scroll down for all the details on this amazing event!

Deric McCabe is one cute kid! It’s no surprise Ava DuVernay offered him the role of Charles Wallace in Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time. He truly has that IT factor and I see him expanding on his career in the years to come. A Wrinkle in Time releases on Blu-ray (among other video options) today, so with that in mind, we had an opportunity to chat with Deric about his role in the film. Upon entering the room, I knew we were in for a show….here’s why!
