Do you remember a month ago when I shared that awesome new game that I learned about at D23 Expo? Well Disney was awesome enough to send me a complimentary Playmation starter set so I can share my experience with you all!! Now we’re just a day away from the release…so you can finally have your turn to be an Avenger and go on amazing missions with Playmation!
With Playmation, you get to become an Avenger and join forces with your favorite Avengers! My boy were so excited when they came home and saw the repulser gear sitting there. I was the first one to try it out…I powered it on and listened as J.A.R.V.I.S. started explaining how to use the repulser gear and what my first mission was. I set one in the dining room and one in the living room and bound back and forth, dodging attacks and attacking back. After the boys had a few giggles at my expense they were ready to join the mission and become Avengers too!
I loved that we could start playing right away because the gear is loaded with 25 missions straight out of the box. The Playmation repulser gear tracks your progress and allows you level up and earn new abilities. The more you spar with heroes and villian smart figures, the more points you earn to level up and the more abilities they learn as well! If you are looking to add more adventures to your game play then be sure to download the AvengersNet app! It is available via iOS and coming soon to Android. This app provides you with system updates to your Playmation to ensure your play experience is seamless. It also allows you to keep track your accomplishments, upgrade your gear, see all your well-earned rewards, and learn more about the Marvel Universe. With it you can discover new characters, storylines, and adventures! When you choose to get a second one (which you will totally want) you will be able to play together and spar with each other!
Besides the Starter Pack you will be able to purchase the following Playmation figures to add on more missions and adventure:
Prowler Bot The Prowler Bot is a robotic villian from Ultron’s army. It can find and hunt your Avenger Gear with 360 degree movement, while taking on dozens of enemy personas and powers with lights and sounds. The Prowler Bot makes game play more challenging and unlocks exclusive missions and locations via the AvengersNet app.
Hero Smart Figures There are four types of Hero Smart Figures to help you in a battle: Tanker, Striker, Medic, and Blaster. Just snap a smart figure onto a power activator to bring it into your battle. Each figure has two attacks to help you level up to earn a unique attack for your Avenger Gear and save Earth. Hero Smart Figures Available Oct 4 … Click image to purchase
Iron Man HulkBuster The Hulk Falcon Black Widow
Villian Smart Figures Villian Smart Figures are doing Ultron’s dirty work to block your plans to save Earth. Snap a villian onto your power activator to bring it in to your battle. Each figure, like the heroes, has two attacks but this time they are using them against you. Defeat the villian and you earn a unique attack as well as unlock a location with exclusive missions via the AvengersNet app. Villian Smart Figures Available Oct 4 … Click image to purchase
Ultron Bot M.O.D.O.K.
If this wasn’t enough…Playmation will be releasing Gamma Gear this Fall! The Gamma Gear is inspired by the 7-foot Hulk and lets you smash into battle using motion-sensing technology putting you in the Avengers action. Slip your hands into the Gamma Gear and use the motion-based controls to smash your way through missions and stomp through battlegrounds with different Hulk moves like Ground Slam, Thunder Clap, and other combos.
If Avengers aren’t your thing, Playmation will be releasing Star Wars in 2016 & Frozen in 2017!!

International superstar Shakira is lending her Grammy®-winning voice to Gazelle, the biggest pop star in Zootopia.
The all-new original song, Try Everything, was written by singer-songwriter Sia and songwriting duo Stargate. You can watch the brand new music video for Shakira‘s Try Everything below…
Director Byron Howard said, “For the role of Gazelle, Zootopia’s most beloved superstar, there was only one person on our wish list: Shakira. Luckily for us, she said yes. Her immense talent and charm bring Gazelle and her song, ‘Try Everything,’ to life.”
“Try Everything” single is available now on ITUNES.
Walt Disney Records soundtrack to ZOOTOPIA will be available March 4th, the same day the film opens in theatres nationwide!
MORE ABOUT DISNEY’S ZOOTOPIA
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a comedy-adventure directed by Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”), opens in theaters on March 4, 2016.

With the weather around here looking and feeling like fall, it has me craving fall foods like soup. Soup is one of my favorite go-to foods. It’s filling, healthy and it’s usually really easy to pull together any day of the week. This Smoked Sausage, Spinach & White Bean soup is filled with staple ingredients that I almost always have in my pantry and fridge. Beans and basic veggies like carrots, celery & onions are really essential ingredients to just about all of our soups so I try to keep them on hand.
Ingredients:
14 oz. smoked sausage
8 cups vegetable broth
3 cloves of garlic, minced
½ medium onion, diced
4 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 can cannellini beans, undrained
2 cups rotini pasta
2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
Directions:
In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Chop smoked sausage into ½-1 inch slices. Cook over medium heat, 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until cooked through and beginning to crisp on all sides. Set aside. In a large soup pot, heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until onion is turning translucent. Pour in vegetable broth, and add cannellini beans. Bring to a boil. Add in pasta, sausage, and seasonings. Boil for 5-7 minutes, until pasta is just al dente. Add spinach and cook 1-2 minutes more. Serve hot.

If your kids are like mine, they absolutely love pizza! It doesn’t matter whether its frozen, or delivered they will eat it just the same. But there is just something about being able to make their own that makes them giddy. They just love when they get to help make dinner, but being able to make their own pizza is even more exciting!
These mini personal pizza are a perfect way for everyone to get what they want and are done in under 15 minutes! Using biscuits makes it even more personal…I love to use the flaky layers while my hubby prefers to use buttermilk and have a thinner crust.
“It’s all very personal” (20 points if you can tell me what movie the quote is from!)
2 Cans of Biscuits
Pizza Sauce
Shredded Mozzarella
Toppings
Roll out biscuits to make them a tad larger and flatter
Add your sauce, cheese & toppings
bake according to biscuit can
