In my role as a mother who rambles about the mundane crap in her life in a desperate bid to keep a dubious grasp on her sanity blogger, I am occasionally asked to partake in some stuff; cooking of meals, checking out products and being invited to do some cool stuff. And some not so cool stuff.
This was a “cool stuff” thing. I was invited by one of my PR contacts – PorterNovelli – to join them in the re-release of one of my fave movies, The Lion King. Kids and husbands invited.
They made it slightly more appealing than “hey, why not go to the movies with your kids and husband – that’ll be fun, won’t it! Hurrah!” (ahem, um, no) they tossed in the Director’s Suite at Hoyts, and a sleepover at the Melbourne Zoo. Mostly, I was just wrapt that someone threw me a lifeline in school holiday, week 2 and it was two days of stuff I didn’t have to fill by thinking up something to do myself.
It wasn’t just my family and I, either. A couple of other blogger chicks I know were also coming along: Kate from Picklebums,
It was brilliant to be able to meet you again and especially to share such a brilliant experience.
Wasn’t it just?!
Have you caught up on sleep yet? 😀
I slept for 12 hours last night and have started to feel a little more human… well as human as is possible during school holidays.
That box of popcorn is nearly as big as chippie! Did he eat it all?
It was nice to meet you and your kids. It was an amazing experience indeed!
