Cap Off Busy Weeks with A Friday Family Movie Night

This Post is Sponsored by Coca-Cola

addallittlecoke bellyitchblog.com

When the weather turns cold, families have to get creative and find indoor activities for entertainment after school and during weekends. Family game nights are an excellent way to unwind and have fun after homework and dinner and before settling in for the night.

During the weekend, a family movie night is one of the best ways to chill, kick back, and enjoy some downtime after a hectic week.

We love sci-fi, nature, and superhero movies. When we’re not quizzing each other watching a quiz show or catching up on animal stories on a nature channel, we’re catching up on the latest episode of one of our favorite superhero television shows.

But for Friday family movie night, each member of the family gets a turn during the month to select the flick we watch. We all snuggle up under the covers on the sofa in the basement with some popcorn, snacks, and refreshments, including nice, cold Coca-Cola.

It’s the perfect start to the weekend, and a great way to cap off our usually hectic weeks.

When you add refreshing Coca-Cola to any situation, things go from good to great. Because when you add a little delicious Coca-Cola, it all adds up to memories.

Elisabetta Canalis welcomed daughter, Skyler Eva

elisabetta canalis birth

Belated congrats to the beautiful Italian model Elisabetta Canalis and her surgeon husband Brian Perri, on the birth of their first child together, daughter Skyler.

The Dancing With the Stars alum welcomed the addition just four days after we published our exclusive feature on her, on September 29.  Canalis is best known among American audiences for famously dating George Clooney for a few years, but we say a gorgeous renowned Beverly Hills Orthopedic surgeon is a pretty good upgrade.

“My life is full of love because of you… Welcome into the world our lil Skyler Eva 29 – 9 – 2015,” Canalis wrote in the caption of her husband kissing the baby on Instagram announcing the birth. She also later showed off a photo of their babyn who we know is gorgeous given her hunky parents, resting on her chest. Sweet!

Beautiful! Congrats!

Before You Apply to Enroll Your Kid Into Any School, Check this ONE Insider Source I Just Discovered

source school admissions

Parents, so, I just discovered an awesome new way to research a pre-school, day care, elementary school or high school that you are considering enrolling your child or children into, or applying to: Social media!

Yes, it sounds intuitive, but think about it, when you go in for a tour, you’re only going to see the premium and the perks the school has to offer. Everyone will be on their best behavior when visitors are in the building. Even during Shadow Days, kids are exposed to the ideal situation and usually have a fantastic time.

To be truly informed, you have to catch them off guard and since it is nearly impossible to get off-peak access when they are least expecting you, social media is the next best thing.

Here’s how I figured this out:

Recently, I shared an inspirational meme posted on Instagram and checked in to the public high school I was in at the time of my share. I was there at that high school to submit paperwork for someone I know.

Days later, while scrolling my own IG feed, I happened to click the location option on Instagram which takes you to all other IG shares at that site.  Much to my shock and surprise, I saw that the majority of the IG shares from that high school were of very brutal physical fights between students, taken and uploaded by students using their phones. In each of the shares, other students were gathered around in the hallways all filming the fights but no one doing anything to break them up. Often times, there was not even a school administrator or safety officer in sight!

Wow! It gave me a more insight into what goes on in that particular high school that I may not have known otherwise.

Since then, I’ve done the same with other area schools, both public, private and charter and am seeing the other side and making better decisions based on this insider knowledge.

There you go! Another benefit for social media: It’s your insider insider guide to schools.

Use the knowledge with care and do share with others! Good luck!

Viola Davis’ Daughter Won Halloween with Her Tribute to Mom Costume

viola davis genesis

Cuteness alert!

Viola Davis‘ daughter Genesis Tennon decided for Halloween to dress as her mom accepting her Emmy Award this year for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her role as Annalise Keating on How to Get Away With Murder.

“So…..the Elsa costume? Didn’t work for her,” Davis wrote on Facebook on Saturday. “The Pirate? A no go. So she finally said, ‘I just want to be YOU mommy’! So… uhh…..this is ME.”

So adorbs and inspiring! When the film actress nabbed the award, she became the first African American woman in history to collect the honor. Wow, right? It’s 2015.

Davis is also a hero for the natural hair movement among Afro-wearing population of women and young girls across the African diaspora.

I’m included! About a month ago, I wrote a post in my hair blog about being Viola Davis which ended with me saying that the next person who asks me what’s going on with my hair when they see it worn out in its natural state, that I am going as Viola! Glad I’m in good company with those motivated by Davis.

Jenni-Jwoww-Farley-Baby-Gender-Reveal-Cake-467

Last week, Jennifer “JWOWW” Farley showed off the super cute gender-reveal cake on Instagram that her bestie Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was going to cut during a gender reveal party for her second child with new husband Roger Mathews.

Nice to have a pair just like her BFF Snooki who has a 3-year old son Lorenzo and 1-year old daughter Giovanna Marie with her husband and Jersey Shore cast mate Jionni LaValle.

The Snooki and Jwoww alum told In Touch that she was hoping it would be a boy

“I’ve always said I wanted a boy. I think there is something to be said about a mother-and-son bond,” she explained. “My pregnancy has been going so great that it’s making me wonder if I’m having a boy. My first pregnancy was super rough; I felt like I was on a boat the entire time. But this time I feel great, so we’ll see.”

Baby No. 2 is expected to arrive in May 2016.

 

STUDY: Antibiotics during Pregnancy Does NOT cause Birth Defects

Good news for mothers-to-be: a new study found that using some antibiotics during the early phase of pregnancy will not cause birth defects.

The safety of antibiotic use during pregnancy has been a long point for debate. Several drugs have been labeled as dangerous for the fetus, though some can be considered safe to use during earlier stages of its development.

Researchers analyzed data from the Quebec Pregnancy Cohort, a study based on Canadian women and their babies. The data included information on the women’s lifestyle and socioeconomic risk factors, pregnancy history and usage of medication and natural products.

The data collected allowed the researchers to discover connections between birth defects and the use of the antibiotics penicillin, erythromycin, azithromycin and clarithromycin during pregnancy.

Why ‘Gawker’ has Been Trolling Kristin Cavallari for 500 days 

Third-time mom-to-be Kristin Cavallari is actively promoting the imminent release of her first book “Balancing in Heels” while waiting to soon deliver her first daughter with husband, Chicago Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler.

On the caption to a recent Instagram post, the shoe designer, most famously known for her role on the cast of the heavily scripted MTV reality TV show The Hills, wrote:

“It’s hard to believe I will be a mom of 3 in just a few short weeks…I owe so much to my babies…they have changed me in so many ways for the better.” 

Cavallari, who has had bit acting parts in a few TV series (CSI:NY, The Middle and The League)and has been a TV host (The Fabulist),  first announced the book‘s release to E News back in January.

She revealed then that the book will also cover fashion, beauty, health, fitness and cooking.

Also since then, Gawker‘s “Defamer” blog has been trolling the pretty blond with its “500 Days of Kristin Cavallari” series.

Periodically, Gawker writer Allie Jones posts a little trollish tidbit about Cavallari counting down the days until the book is released.

We suspect it has to do with Cavallari’s controversial stance on vaccinations which she thinks causes autism.

It’s free publicity for her but something tells us that after the book is published, the trolling will continue into the context of the book.

Oh boy!

?

The snarky coverage hasn’t stopped the football wife from pushing her various projects.

Cavallari has also been promoting the Fall Fashion Campaign for her shoe imprint with Chinese Laundry.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight this month promoting the new season’s fashion, the Laguna Beach alum admitted that having three children scares her but that she is excited about having a baby girl.

She said she is already getting the nursery ready and “getting all the pink and purple clothes.”

Fun! Keep on, keeping on, Kristin!
