The Croods Cave at DreamWorks today, MommyBlogExpert.com

Today I attended an incredibly engaging and fun Global Media Day event hosted by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. The setting was the beautifully laid out 12 acre DreamWorks Animation campus in Glendale, California where this blockbuster family-friendly film spent years in the making.

Aren't The Croods animal stars adorable? MommyBlogExpert.com

My mind is still spinning tonight with everything we learned, saw and did to get a truly behind the scenes appreciation of all that went into virtually every aspect of the making of The Croods.

Wait till you see how I redesigned these Uggs, MommyBlogExpert.com

Watch for a full review of this movie, which will be available for home viewing shortly, as well as a recap of my day at DreamWorks and lots more images soon. 

I'll also be giving you an insider's view of the rather unique and creative Ugg Australia boot design workshop held for us family lifestyle bloggers that wrapped up our day at the studio. Wondering what Ugg has to do with The Croods? These most comfortable boots on the planet actually had a cameo in this film and in my upcoming post, I'll be telling you all about it.

In addition I received lunch, a The Croods goody bag and Ugg Australia boots for participating and covering this event. See complete FTC Disclosure information that appears at the bottom of MommyBlogExpert's main page and at the bottom of every individual post on this blog, including this one.

Mom lifestyle bloggers like me that are on the go need to remain constantly connected with a reliable WiFi connection. Whether we're standing in the carpool lane at school, supporting our child's sports team on the field, waiting for our kids at their monthly orthodontics appointments, or doing dozens of other things that require moms that blog to be away from our home office desktops, mobile connectivity is a priority. 



Come to think of it, I need to be wired with fast Internet access throughout the year for lots of other things I do in random indoor and outdoor places: like whenever I'm attending blogger events and big annual conferences such as International CES and BlogHer.

Lets not forget the kids, either. While I drive, they need to be connected to the Internet so they can do their homework on their laptops and tablets while multi-tasking on Facebook to check in with friends on the way to and from school.

NETGEAR’s AT&T Unite mobile WiFi hotspot is just the thing to help make the most of every minute of my day, as well as my four teens. With 2000+ emails rolling in daily for my business and the need to be constantly engaging on Twitter and Facebook on top of blogging regularly for MommyBlogExpert -- even when on vacation with my family -- I simply can't afford to be away from a strong WiFi signal for long, no matter where I am.

Whether you blog professionally like I do, work full-time outside the home, or are a stay at home mom with an insanely busy family schedule, this little gem will come in handy for anyone of us moms trying to juggle it all.

AT&T Unite Features

• Connect up to 10 WiFi devices
• Access to 4G LTE speed
• Up to 10 hours of battery life
• An easy-to-navigate touchscreen
• Ability to block/unblock specific WiFi devices directly from the Unite
