Disclosure- I received the item mentioned below to facilitate my post.  All opinions are 100% my own.

ozeri ultra wind fanWe recently had a professional organizer come to our house and help us get it organized and more functional.  (Keep an eye out for an upcoming post!)  One of the improvements is that now our garage is organized and we have turned the center of it into a laundry station since our washer and dryer are in the garage.  The only problem is that we live in South Florida and our garage is H-O-T!  I love the space we created but I was getting sweaty just folding and hanging a load of laundry.  I love the Ozeri 3X Tower Fan that I reviewed in December and use it every day.  I have that fan set up next to my desk and didn’t want to give it up for the garage.   I knew it I needed to reach out to my friends at Ozeri to review another one of their fans. They sent me the Ozeri Ultra Wind 42″ Adjustable Oscillating Tower Fan with Smart LCD and Remote Control.
ozeri fan unassembledThe fan was super simple to assemble.  It comes mostly assembled in the box.  I just had to screw on the optional extension column and the base.  Without the extension column the fan is 32 inches high and with the column the fan is 42 inches high.  In about 5 minutes I was ready to use my new fan.  The fan is powerful and really blows air across my garage.  I love that it has a remote control so I can adjust the settings from across my garage without having to get close to the fan.  I can be on the other end of my garage and the remote works perfectly.

ozeri 42 inch fanThe fan is sleek and would work well in any room of my house.  It has 3 whisper-quiet speed settings and 90 degree wide angle oscillation to really blow the air all around.  Even on the lowest speed it is pretty powerful but my favorite speed is the highest level.  There are 3 different mode settings to give you 3 different breeze patterns (Sleep, Nature, and Normal) foster sleep, relaxation and comfort.  Since I am using it in my garage I leave it in the normal setting but I’m thinking about getting another one for my bedroom so I can use it in one of the other settings to help me fall asleep.  I think the nature setting where it alternates between blowing hard and blowing soft and slowly, just like a real breeze, would be great to pair with a nature sounds CD or app to use when I am trying to fall asleep.  Hmmm, I might just have to steal the fan tonight and bring it upstairs for bedtime because using the nature setting with my nature sounds app on my cellphone sounds heavenly!

ozeri wind 42 inch fanThe fan has a 12 hour timer that you can set in 1 hour increments.  This would be great if you were using it in a bedroom or other room where you wanted to control how long the fan runs for.  I especially like that the fan shows the temperature in the room, too.  I’ve always wondered how hot my garage is so it’s nice to be able to have a visual display to let me know.  If you want the fan to blow in one area you can turn the oscillation off or you can turn the oscillation on and it will rotate to blow air around the room.

If you are using the Ozeri Ultra Wind 42″ Adjustable Oscillating Tower Fan in a bedroom there is a great night mode function where all icons on the LCD screen are dimmed except for the moon icon.  This is great when you’re trying to sleep so you aren’t kept up by the light from the fan LCD screen.

Lalaloopsy Girls are best friends are now roommates as they live and learn and laugh at the silliest and funniest school in the land- The Lalaloopsy Academy for the Learning Arts (L.A.L.A)!  You can find lots of fun videos, games, and more on the Lalaloopsy website.

Anything bright and rainbowy and happy is always my favorite, and my pet toucan is like having a sunshiny friend with me all the time! I smile in every class, even Cloud Sculpting 101, because I make rainbows instead of clouds!

P1240236Avery is lots of fun to play with.  My girls have fun playing with her in their standard doll size dollhouse and she fits well with all of the furniture and accessories they already have.

P1240239

P1240248Avery comes with removable clothes and her feet (shoes) are interchangeable with other Moxie Girlz.  One of our favorite things about this Moxie Girlz Doll is that you can pose her to sit and stand on her own without a doll stand.  This makes creative play so much more fun.  Click below to spin her around and see her from all sides!

Knitting on the knitting tool and on your fingers is so much fun.  It just takes a little patience and practice to learn.  When my 9 year old first tried she got frustrated after about a minute because she saw how easy it was for me.  I showed her the official how-to video from Moxie Girlz and she agreed to try it again.  Within 5 minutes she was giggling and LOVING finger knitting.  You can see the pure joy, excitement, and pride in her face in the pictures below and it was so heartwarming to see as her mom.
knittingP1240256My daughter was absolutely beaming once she figured it out!

P1240259Once she created her first scarf/necklace she decided that she would make them for all her friends and dolls.  She even asked if she could make a business and sell her creations!  So cute!

P1240258Avery comes with some yarn but I suggest getting some more yarn because the yarn included will go fast.  We have lots of yarn in our house so my girls are having so much fun knitting, knitting, knitting!

I am so excited that I will have the opportunity to see this exhibt first hand next week when I go to Walt Disney World on the Monky Kingdom Event Blogger Press Trip!!!  It’s open to the public on 4/18.

WALT DISNEY STUDIOS AND DISNEY PARKS TEAM UP TO SHOWCASE EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK OF DISNEY’S “TOMORROWLAND” MOVIE AND SPECIAL EXHIBIT FOR PARK GUESTS AT DISNEYLAND RESORT AND WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT

tomorrowland212-Minute Sneak Peek Includes Exciting, Never-Seen-Before Footage- Exhibit Features the Making of “Tomorrowland” with Props, Concept Artwork, Photos from Filming, and Images from the Disney Archives

Burbank, Calif. (April 10, 2015) –Walt Disney Studios announced today an unprecedented collaboration between the Studio, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort to offer park guests a 12-minute sneak peek of Disney’s upcoming thrilling, mystery-adventure film, “Tomorrowland,” opening in U.S. theaters on May 22. Guests will also enjoy an impressive exhibit that features the making of the movie with props, concept artwork and photos from the filming of the movie plus exclusive images from the Disney Archives. The sneak peek and exhibit will open April 17 in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park and on April 18 in Future World at Epcot and will be available to the public for a limited time.

The must-see event marks the first time that a sneak peek has been offered at Epcot in Walt Disney World and the first time Walt Disney Studios has teamed up with both parks to showcase an upcoming Disney film with footage and an in-depth look at the making of the film. Sure to spark the imagination and curiosity of all, the special exhibit details the process of bringing director Brad Bird’s vision to life and will show how filmmakers created the world of Tomorrowland, along with archival images of iconic Disneyland attractions featured in the movie.

In the movie, the premise that the futuristic city of Tomorrowland could actually exist pays homage to Walt Disney’s vision for both Tomorrowland at Disneyland Resort and Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort where ever-evolving technologies are showcased along with ideas to make the world a better place for all.

Commenting on the exclusive “Tomorrowland” sneak peek event, Brad Bird, the film’s two-time Oscar® winning director, says, “We are excited that park guests will be the first to get an extended look at ‘Tomorrowland’ in the part of Disneyland that inspired the film. Tomorrowland is the one section of the park that Walt Disney himself designed to be tied inexorably to constant change. After all, the future is always in motion, continually shifting as humankind’s choices of the present remake the world ahead of us. ‘Tomorrowland’ is a state of mind. My hope is that the exhibit will convey some of the magic that went into bringing this land… and this movie, to life.”

“Tomorrowland,” a riveting mystery adventure starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney, tells the story of former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, who are bound by a shared destiny and embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.

Featuring a screenplay by “Lost” writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, “Tomorrowland” promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.

The film also stars Hugh Laurie as brilliant scientist David Nix, Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key and Thomas Robinson

“Tomorrowland” is produced by Damon Lindelof, Brad Bird and Jeffrey Chernov and directed by Brad Bird, with John Walker, Bernard Bellew, Jeff Jensen and Brigham Taylor serving as executive producers.

Fabulous Activities the Whole Family Can do at Home

As a family, it’s important to make time to hang out and bond with one another. This means you as parents spending time with your kids. Now, this can be challenging for both sides. Kids often don’t want to hang out with their parents. And it’s often difficult to find activities that will stimulate and entertain both you and your children.

But the good news is this blog post will look at a few things you can do together as a family. These are all fun, entertaining activities that the whole family will enjoy. Don’t forget how important it is to bond as a family. You need to spend time together and develop a close-knit family bond.

Movie Night

One of the easiest and most effective activities you can do together is to have a family movie night. You can even think about making this a themed night, by getting movie-themed snacks, for example. You should have plenty of choice for movies these days. Things like Netflix have opened up opportunities to watch movies as a family more easily. There’s even a specific kids section on Netflix offering an enormous range of children’s movies and TV shows. Get your kids to pick out the movie, and you can prepare some food and snacks. All sit down as a family and watch and laugh and be entertained together.

Talent Show

You might be the kind of family that prefers to do things a little more active. Or perhaps you just want a night away from the TV? Either way you could come up with a family talent show to keep you all occupied. This is bound to be fun and entertaining for everybody involved. You could even involve costumes of some kind that you’ve picked up online. You might visit http://justpretendkids.com/princess-dresses.html to pick out a princess dress for your daughter. She might want to do a sketch as Rapunzel or Sleeping Beauty. Then perhaps your son might want to play something on the guitar or tell some jokes. Make sure you get involved as parents too. Try to do something silly. There’s nothing better for the kids than being able to laugh at something silly their parents have done.

Board Games

A great way to spend time together being entertained as a family is to play board games. These are fun and exciting, and they can last quite a while. Board games often combine entertainment and education. So they’re helpful for your kids brain development. They are also great for teaching kids about being competitive and the importance of winning and losing. You should have a few board games around the house that everyone will enjoy. You might even try to do a team game with kids vs. parents for example. Of course, you’ll let the kids win!

Video Games

These days it’s often thought that children spend too much time playing video games. And this might be true. But in the right doses video games can be helpful for kids. They teach them coordination and how to follow a story. One of the best things about modern video games is that they can be multiplayer. As a family, you can all take part and take it in turns to play. This is even better with consoles like the Nintendo Wii that have games like Wii Sports. These are turn based sporting games that you can all play together as a family. This provides hours of fun and entertainment for the whole family.

From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

Hey Good Lookin’: Finding the Right Attire For Your Wedding

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Getting married is one of the biggest things that you can do in your adult life. But, it can also be insanely stressful. It’s time to take a step back and relax. Getting married should be about fun and love, not stressing about the small stuff. When it comes to your wedding day, you want to make sure that everyone is suitably dressed.

There are some great ways that you can ensure that everyone has the right attire. It’s all about thinking about your theme, your key ideas and finding the right clothes to suit everyone’s shapes.

Finding a Bridal Gown

Finding the ideal bridal gown can be a daunting task. But, it doesn’t need to be that way. The key is to take heed of the advice of the bridal store owner. They are an excellent resource when it comes to finding the right dress for you. Think about your body shape and what bits you would like to show off or cover up. Think about jewels or plain gowns. If you are usually quite plainly dressed, going for all out sparkles may look odd. You need to make sure that you are finding a dress that suits your everyday style. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you should not try on every single kind of dress in the store. Try dresses on that you previously would not have considered. The key is to keep an open mind, and the right dress will come along.

Another pro tip is to make sure that you get a dress that fits you. So many ladies choose gowns that are too small in the hope that they will get them. Don’t do this! Get a dress that fits you. You can always take it in if you lose weight.

The Groom (He Needs an Amazing Suit)

The groom is important too. But, think about his comfort and his overall style before deciding for him. The top hat and tails look is not for everyone. So, choose a simple yet elegant three-piece style if his look is more laid back. He needs to be comfortable after all.

bride-453950_1280G Palmisano Adm

Dressing Bridesmaids and Flower Girls

Bridesmaids are known to bicker about their dresses. Nip that in the bud. It’s your day, and you should have what you want. Trying to get everyone to suit the same style is not going to work. But, opt for the same material and colour of the dress for a cohesive look. That way, everyone will look fabulous but have the right styles that flatter their figure. When it comes to flower girl dresses, always choose a white color and incorporate a sash with your colour theme. Little girls never truly suit block colour. White and cream tones are the way to go.

The Best Man

The best man, typically, has a suit that matches the grooms. But, if you are not keen on this, request that he hires their own suit. Make sure that he wears a suit that ties in with your theme. So, if your theme is blue and yellow, as that he wears a blue suit with a yellow tie. It’s a simple way to include them in your wedding theme, without having to spend a fortune.

All of us are doing our best to get healthy and stay in shape. It really is especially tricky when you’ve got kids because you never seem to have any time to yourself. Exercise is especially difficult to fit in, but you know life as a busy mom is certainly energetic enough! One bad habit moms can get into, especially when you have finished breastfeeding, is to drink too much coffee. To keep up with the energy levels of children, you really need that extra cup in the morning and again when they are home from school. But we all know caffeine isn’t good for us. It can make us tired because it interferes with our sleep quality.

Incredibly, the more you do, the more energy you have. That means there should be less need for a coffee. It can be addictive stuff, so ask yourself if you are drinking it more out of habit than the need for the stimulant. If you can cut down then great. Maybe you could swap a cup of coffee for a tea like the hyson teas you can get online. Many teas are caffeine free, so you could start with drinking just one a day to find the flavor you like best.

Once you have started cutting down on caffeine, you may notice some interesting changes to your body and mind. Your toilet habits may change a lot! You might not need to go as much, so you will have to eat more fiber and drink more water to get the same effects as the coffee gave you. You may also feel more hungry if you haven’t swapped your coffee for a tea or other hot beverage. Your hair may start to feel softer and your skin will be less dry. If you have asthma, it may not be bothering you as much as it did before.

If you suffer from headaches, you may find they aren’t as troublesome as they were. Your teeth may not need to whitened as often, and your breath will stay minty fresh for longer. Coffee stains on clothes will certainly be a thing of the past too! But you may miss the gorgeous smell of a freshly brewed pot of the black stuff. And you may miss the flavor because nothing else quite tastes like a good coffee.

The best thing about quitting the coffee is the time spent making it, or popping out to buy it, is yours to reclaim. If you don’t drink coffee, you won’t be as dehydrated. This allows you to work out longer and for harder, to help you with your health drive. After a few days without coffee, you will start to feel more energized when it is time to get up again. You may start to drink more water instead, and you might even start eating a healthy breakfast instead of the usual rushed cup of coffee! Most importantly, your mind will be calmer, and you won’t miss the buzzy, frantic feeling you usually have after that first hit of coffee in the morning. Enjoy the calm of caffeine-free.
