The War with Grandpa–Now on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital!

By Erin

Get ready to laugh-out-loud and ring in the new year with an all-out prank battle the whole family can enjoy, in the hilarious comedy, The War with Grandpa, now available to own for the first time on Digital, Blu-ray^™, DVD and On Demand from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Based on Robert Kimmel Smith’s multi-award-winning beloved children’s book of the same name, the film follows a series of escalating shenanigans that ensue when a grandfather (Academy Award^® winner Robert De Niro, The Irishman, Meet the Parents franchise) moves in with his daughter, forcing his grandson (Oakes Fegley, The Goldfinch, This Is Where I Leave You) to begrudgingly give up his bedroom. Packed with heart and hysterical hijinks from start to finish, THE WAR WITH GRANDPA is the perfect “family-friendly comedy” (Pete Hammond, Deadline) everyone can enjoy during the holiday and beyond.

Sixth-grader Peter (Fegley) is pretty much your average kid—he likes gaming, hanging with his friends and his beloved pair of Air Jordans. But when his recently widowed grandfather Ed (De Niro) moves in with Peter’s family, the boy is forced to give up his most prized possession of all, his bedroom. Unwilling to let such an injustice stand, Peter devises a series of increasingly elaborate pranks to drive out the interloper, but Grandpa Ed won’t go without a fight. Soon, the friendly combatants are engaged in an all-out war with side-splitting consequences.

Alongside De Niro and Fegley is a top-notch cast including Academy Award^® nominee Uma Thurman (Kill Bill series, Pulp Fiction), Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street, “Modern Family”), Cheech Marin (Cars series, Coco), Golden Globe^® winner Jane Seymour (Wedding Crashers, “Jane the Virgin”), Laura Marano (Lady Bird, “Austin & Ally”) and Academy Award^® winner Christopher Walken (Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can) that bring even more laughs throughout the mischievously funny and charming film. From director Tim Hill (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, “SpongeBob SquarePants”) with a script by Tom J. Astle (Get Smart, Failure to Launch) and Matt Ember (Get Smart, Epic), THE WAR WITH GRANDPA is sure to entertains audiences of all ages.

Minnie Mouse Hot Cocoa Bombs

Minnie Mouse Hot Cocoa Bombs are a super cute addition to the Hot Cocoa Bomb rage. Add some Disney Magic to your Hot Cocoa! It’s bound to put a smile on your face as well as the rest of the family!

Makes 8-10 Hot Coco Minnie Mouse Bombs

Ingredients

2 Silicone Sphere Molds – found on amazon

1 – 30 oz of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate melting wafers

2 cups of hot cocoa mix

1 disposable piping bag

1 cookie sheet fitted with wax paper

2 cups Mini Marshmallows

1 package of Wilton Royal Icing Bows

Directions

This part is 100% optional and a personal choice:

Cut the silicone molds so that each sphere mold is by itself as shown
here. I did this because I felt it was easier to control
the mold when working with the melted chocolate.

Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the
silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny
coat on it.

Remove about 16-20 size matching pieces of the melting wafers and set aside.

ANAHEI’M FIRST–Support Local Businesses

By Erin

This year has been a rough one. Ever since covid hit earlier this year we’ve all pretty much been at home. This has caused some very challenging times for all of us because of our ever changing stay at home orders and restrictions. I have been supporting local restaurants and shops as much as I can during this time. I partnered up with ANAHEI’M FIRST for this sponsored post, to share the FREE, easy and instant access to the best deals for the best places in Anaheim. All opinions are my own and I just love dining out (or getting take-out in 2020) to support local small businesses.

“Shop local” and support local restaurants and small businesses during these very challenging times. Orange County along with the rest of Southern California, is still under extreme purple-tier restrictions, which means take-out only. BUT, restaurants and shops are STILL open and need YOUR support more than ever.

The ANAHEI’M FIRST program helps local restaurants and small businesses in Anaheim. ANAHEI’M FIRST is for the city, its restaurants and small businesses, residents of Anaheim and others in the area. The program is FREE, and the sign-up process is easy. There are a lot of great restaurants AND breweries participating, and plenty of offers to take advantage of to help you save money.

Visit https://anaheimfirst.com/ and click the “JOIN NOW” button. Sign up with your cell phone number and your email address and passes will be delivered instantly to your phone and email. No need to download any apps. It’s so easy and convenient to use. Here are a couple of the deals I have already used myself:

*This deal says Dine-in only, but as there is currently no dine-in available they are honoring this deal for take-out* The tacos are delicious, so make sure to try at lest one of each! 😉

Pop Bar has some super sweet offerings! Take the whole family and try some fun flavor combinations. They have some great flavor combo suggestions for you to try or you can make up your own. Either way, you are bound to end up with a sweet treat you will love.
