Cloak & Dagger are a couple of my favorite comic book characters. I have always loved how connected they are and how if you see one without the other, it just doesn’t seem right. So when I heard that Freeform was going to have a Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger show starting this summer, I was thrilled. Freeform is home to some of my favorite shows, like The Fosters, so I had a feeling this was going to be a big hit for me. When I was given the chance to watch the first few episodes before they aired, I was super excited. Trust me when I say, this show is going to hook you from the start – Marvel fan or not!
This summer, I have been on the hunt for new toys for my girls. Fun things for the whole family, that they can enjoy inside on rainy days, and outside when the weather is nice. Here in Upstate New York we don’t have a lot of summer time. We basically skip Spring and go right in to Summer after Winter. We need to take advantage of the time we get. Since I have been researching lots of great toys, I figured I would share the list with you guys. Enjoy!

Quantico’s Third Season: An Interview with Marlee Matlin & Michael Seitzman | #Quantico #ABCTVEvent
I admit it, before this press event I had never watched an episode of Quantico. Now, I have had several friends tell me that I needed to, and that I would love it. Season three started last week and I knew ahead of time that this season could be a stand alone season – meaning that you would not have to see the first two seasons to enjoy it. But after watching the first episode, I plan to go back and watch the first two seasons. It sucked me right in and I immediately became invested in the characters. Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin joined the cast this season so I was excited to get to talk with her and Executive Producer and Showrunner Michael Seitzman.
When we were on our most recent family vacation at Disney World, the newest Disney Channel Original Movie came out. I remember my husband and I cuddling up with our daughters on our bed at the Polynesian and watching Zombies. My girls are in to spooky things for some reason, and so this movie was right up their alley! Not too scary, but featuring one of their favorite things – ZOMBIES! Honestly, my husband and I really enjoyed this movie too.

Throw the Perfect Puppy Dog Pals Viewing Party! | #Disney #PuppyDogPals
Puppy Dog Pals is a hit show on Disney Junior and we love it in our home. It features two adorable pug puppies and since we have a pug (and a puggle), this quickly became a favorite in our house. It is one of the few kids shows that we can watch together as a family and all truly enjoy. On April 10th, the first season was released on DVD and we threw our own Puppy Dog Pals viewing party!
My youngest daughter is obsessed with Puppy Dog Pals. I mean OBSESSED. Her fifth birthday party was Puppy Dog Pals – and her cake came out amazing by the way. We made sure that her gift was a Puppy Dog Pals playhouse. This was months ago and she still plays with it every single day. So when I found out that Disney Junior was releasing the first season on DVD, I knew she needed it. They sent us an advance copy and when it came in the mail, she cried happy tears.

Take the Mysticons Character Quiz Plus Check Out the New Toys & Get A Chance To Win! | #Mysticons #Nickelodeon
I have two daughters, ages 5 and 6, so when we choose shows involving superheroes to watch together, those shows usually involve female superheroes. They connect with them better, and honestly, I like them seeing girls be the strong ones for once. Mysticons is one of our favorite shows, which you can watch on Nickelodeon. It has been on for about 6 months and in that time has become a huge hit with us! Even my husband enjoys it!

Did you know that February is anime month? My family is big into anime, from Pokemon to Attack on Titan, we love it all! Cowboy Beebop is one of the first television shows I ever binged. That show helped my love for anime grow – and my husband and I passed that love on to our daughters. They might only be 5 and 6, but they enjoy shows like Yo Kai Watch and Pokemon more than most other shows they watch. Not to mention, they collect all of the toys and games.
