Disney has extended invitations to my family to their special events over the years.

Last Saturday, they invited us to a special VIP screening of Beauty and the Beast 3D.

When I was younger I didn’t see Beauty and the Beast.

I knew what the story was about but never actually sat down and watched the movie.

Not at the movie theater. And not when it was broadcast on television.

So I went to the theater at the Director’s Guild and put on the 3D glasses and watched Beauty and the Beast for the first time with my family.

It’s Rated G but there were times I was concerned my four year old may have been frightened. Thankfully, he wasn’t.

Afterward the kidlets went downstairs and had cupcakes and created castles.

There was also the opportunity for them to have their faces painted but since we had lunch plans after I steered them away from that line.

Here’s a clip from Beauty and the Beast 3D which is in theaters this Friday, January 13, 2012. And as a special treat, everyone who sees the movie will see a short film of Tangled Ever After.

I’m not a coffee drinker.

Quiet down all of you reading this who just gasped.

Yes, we have a coffee machine in our house – which I love almost as much as my MacBook – but its the other things it makes I enjoy.

I can honestly count on one hand the number of times a year I walk into a coffee house and order a coffee drink.

And when I do, it’s always the same thing .. a skinny vanilla latte.

Either hot or iced depending on the time of year.

When I was asked to sample International Delight Iced Coffee before it hits the shelves at Walmart on January 15th, I decided to give it a try since one of the flavors is vanilla.  Vanilla is my friend if you haven’t figured that out from all the dessert I tend to love.

The three International Delight Iced Coffee arrived — mocha, original and vanilla. Along with a snazzy branded blue straw cup.  Doesn’t the glass of iced coffee on the packaging look so refreshing?!

International Delight Iced Coffee pretty simple to make. Shake the half gallon container, pour over ice and then drink.

The rest of the container needs to be refrigerated and enjoyed within a week.

I gave all three flavors of International Delight Iced Coffee a try but I’ve never been a fan of anything mocha so it really didn’t stand a chance with me.

I did like the vanilla one enough to think about having a container in my fridge in case I have a vanilla iced coffee craving.

There’s no need for me to go to the big named coffee house around the corner when all I have to do to have sweet and creamy iced coffee in my fridge is to buy a container.

And yes, that is a Real Housewives of New Jersey plate — original cast of course. What better way for my friends to snack as they enjoy escapism TV when they come over for Girls’ Night In!?

Happy New Year my friends!

If you’ve been following me on Twitter you’re already well aware of my quest to rid my home of clutter while my three older children were away for the holiday break.

I know… it’s completely normal to have clutter in a home with children.

But sometimes the clutter can get out of control in the tidiest of homes because you lack places to put things you do want to keep.

And that was my big issue…  all of the toys and knick knacks the kids love (and would kill me if I threw away) needed to be better organized. And the living room and kitchen had a bunch of things that definitely needed proper spots.

So yesterday, I headed over to the Duane Reade across the street from my usual frozen yogurt haunt and looked for some household items that would help with organizing everything.

What about you … have you started a major cleaning overhaul because the New Year is here? What have you been using to help get organized?

Check out my Google+ album sharing my shopping experience.
