Mars Needs Moms, Disney’s newest movie, opens on March 11, 2011. Disney invited Mamanista to a special preview of the movie last weekend, and it didn’t disappoint.
The Last Unicorn – Silver Anniversary
When your all-time favorite childhood movies start having 25th Anniversaries, it is a little like hearing your high school prom song on the oldies station.
When I was eight, The Last Unicorn drew me into a magical world of wizards, heroes, and, of course, unicorns. I can still remember watching it during camp movie nights. I was curious to see how the movie held up over time…
Castaway Cay – Disney’s Own Private Island
As the snow piles up outside our home in the Northeast, memories of our Disney Dream cruise keep us warm.
What Mom Wants: A Good Night’s Sleep
Forget flowers, chocolates and even jewelry…all I really want is a good night’s sleep. Can a pillow really be considered a romantic present?
As a busy mom, I have so little time to sleep, and I don’t want to spend it tossing and turning. I’m a pillow aficionado: not content to spend a third (well…more like a quarter) of my life with any less than the most comfortable head support I can find.

Aboard the Disney Dream Cruise Ship for the Christening Cruise
From the moment we stepped aboard the Disney Dream, we entered a fairy tale world. Here is our take on the decor, staterooms, entertainment, dining, youth clubs, pools, AquaDuck, nightclubs, and more aboard the Disney Dream!
Disney Dream Christening
I hope you don’t mind a lot of Disney Dream posts because I cannot wait to share more about this voyage with you. The entire time at Disney, I was taken with how large a role Disney played in the imaginative life of not only my childhood but my teen years as well.
Disney is magic. And I am not talking about the princess glamor and the merchandising–Disney’s power lies in its ability to weave a story.
At the Disney Dream Christening event, the narrative revolved around dreams…
First Pictures from the Disney Dream Christening
We enjoyed our first full day at Disney on Monday. Even pouring rain couldn’t dampen our spirits at the Magic Kingdom! And the best part about rain? NO LINES! My daughter met the fairies, her favorites. Tinkerbell asked her if she is a garden talent since she is wearing all pink. My daughter responded, no–she […]
EZ Sox: Pull-Ups for Your Feet
Not only are EZ Sox my new favorite item for my son, I think it is one of the best things I have ever seen for little kids. I often find myself in a constant battle with my son – him trying to assert his independence by dressing himself, and me wanting to get out of the house sometime that day. EZ Sox are my solution…
Emily Hudson- A Novel By Melissa Jones
I have to admit that this is not the type of book I normally would pick up. I was recently given the chance to review Melissa Jones book: Emily Hudson: A Novel. I am so glad that I did. This book was wonderfully written and kept me intrigued from beginning to end. It was hard for me to put this book down and I craved more when I was finished…
