Having an Oscar Party?

I love the Academy Awards...from the red carpet arrivals, the speeches, the actors and of course, the fashion! We always make a fun night out of it, inviting some friends over and having some wine with potluck as we all make our guesses on the winners.

Hyundai has a really fun recipe widget (check my right sidebar for it,) that offers some clever and mouthwatering desserts of this year's nominated films including "Up in the Eclair" and "Inglorious Custards." Are those cute or what? So in between the debating, the oohing and aahing, everyone can be sure to get their sweet tooth on! You can visit Hyundai on Facebook to play some fun games, and check out their party guide, all in anticipation of a great Oscar night!


And if your favorites don't win an Oscar, you can always drown your dissapointment in a scrumptious eclair, right?

Any Mommy Products Make it Into The Oscars Swag Bags?

I am getting so geared up for the Academy Awards tomorrow night, and all the media attention centering this weekend on the star-studded event has got me wondering-- any mommy entrepreneurs out there with a product/goody in the Oscar's Swag Bags?

I cannot imagine any better publicity than having one of your treasured items in the hands of celebrities! well, except maybe Oprah.

I read today that Michelle Pratt-Lienhart, an entrepreneur and founder of "Just Be" - a line of apparel and accessories that focuses on allowing allow people to express how they feel or how they would like to feel, is going to have her T-Shirts in those Celebrity Swag Bags! How awesome is that??

So now I'm curious. Anyone else?
