The Croods:Celebrity Interview with Nicolas Cage #TheCroods

The-Croods-Banner

The Croods is a fantastic 3-D family adventure movie that you must check out when it opens this coming weekend on March 22nd.    Don’t think, oh well I don’t have kids. This movie is for  EVERYONE! No matter the age, go as a couple on a date or with friends it is a must see.

Recently I was able to take my middle niece to a preview of the movie. She absolutely loved it, she could not stop laughing and enjoyed everyone moment  from beginning to end.   The following day a select group of bloggers were able to attend the NYC press junket for The Croods.  It was such a wonderful opportunity to hear directly from the actors their opinions of the movies and how they were able to prepare  for this journey of being the voices for such amazing characters.

Nicolas Cage was our first actor with whom we were able to chat with.  Cage’s  character  is that of  Grug – the original over-protecting dad who takes care of his family at all costs even if means keeping them  cooped up in their cave.    I knew  it took quite some time to work on an animated film but didn’t realize it can take almost 2.5 years. Many of the actors would did their recordings alone “in a little aquarium”  for over the course of the time maybe only working with select scenes with others from time to time.  All this work  could be done while they are filming other productions.   Cage mentioned to us that using his voice is 50% of acting and the other is movement.  And, in an animated film,  you become dependent of the design team to bring out the expressions and details that normally would be caught on film.

Grug

When asked if he sees himself in this character or a little bit of the character in him, Cage responds:

“Without getting too personal, I do have those feelings at times of concern for my family and feelings of being protective. But, I like to think that I live my life in a way where I’m willing to take chances and in my work and also in my life.   So, in that sense, I don’t relate to Grug because he’s more surviving as opposed to living, whereas I do believe there’s value in taking chances and exploring.”

What I enjoyed most about the roundtable discussion with Nicolas Cage was so much of his honesty and the protection of his family. He also stated that the two bests things  you could offer your children would be love and a good education.

Cage continues saying “Those are the two most important things and a feeling of home and safety at home,  that’s a safety zone.”

I feel this is so true and couldn’t agree more.  I can’t wait for this coming Friday March 22nd to see the movie again with the rest of my nieces.   It is a movie you could see several times and see something new each time. The animation is out of this world and the 3D effects  are mesmerizing.

NYC/Westchester Mom to 3 Teens who love to #travel #health #DisneySMC #teacher #westchester

Kerri G
So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards.

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚
Thank you @baketivity for sending us the Duff Mons Thank you @baketivity for sending us the Duff Monster Cupcakes box. My teen loves to bake and the was perfect for her to get creative and try out new decorating idea with her cupcake monsters. We loved that the kit had everything she needed and detailed step-by-step directions too! @duffgoldman #baking #cupcakes #cupcakemonster #cupcakedecorating #teenswhobake #halloween #bakingforkids #bakingkits

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
The Bounciest Pop-Up Ever to Hit NYC is Popping Up The Bounciest Pop-Up Ever to Hit NYC is Popping Up for
Four Weeks this Fall! Located in Midtown, my girls and I created fun memories and tons of laughs while bouncing through this super fun pop-up! I even went down the slide! 😂 we bounced. We laughed. We even got to get our groove on and dance!  Definitely an awesome way to relieve stress. Go with family or friends! Here are all the details:  Now through Thursday, November 17th the custom-built installation will occupy the plaza adjacent to Greeley Square Park on Broadway between 32nd and 33rd Streets. Pop In The City is a 120ft long walk-through experience consisting of a 
series of interconnected domes, each housing separate interactive elements that reflect an immersive and abstract take on New York, its people, and its culture.  #popinthecityusa #popinthecity #nyc #thingstodoinnyc #greeleysquarepark #nycactivities #kidsinnyc #childhoodunplugged #familytime #staycation #nycstreet #popinthecityusa
