Fast-and-Furious-6.jpg

The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Tokyo Drift, Fast and Furious, Fast Five… If you are a fan of the movies- you know that one of these things is not like the others, which one??? (Hint- Japan) What do you need to tie them all together? Furious 6, another sequel which , surprisingly, was enjoyed by everyone in the audience. Including me. When The Fast and The Furious came out 12 (Yes, TWELVE) years ago, I remember going to see it in a drive in theater. Warning- this is not a good … [Read more...]

Best camera for the iPhone 5

Something has been bothering me for quite some time; I was looking through pictures of my kids’ for the last few years, but something was missing, actually a lot of stuff was missing! When I look at our pictures they are very few and far between, in fact, most of the things that we have done in the last couple of years weren’t anywhere to be found in our pictures… do you know why? Because when we get ready to go somewhere fun we always think, “should we take the camera?” and the answer … [Read more...]

Glow in the dark paint for my sons

blue-and-green-wall-paint.jpg

  If you’ve been reading here for the past couple of weeks, then you have seen me redecorating my boys’ room. I have been using Disney Glidden paint from Walmart to get the look that my boys’ wanted. As I said in my previous posts, I let each of my sons choose 1 color, so that we would have 2 walls that were Moose’s color and 2 walls that were Tater’s color; those colors ended up being “Mickey’s Park” which was a bright green and “Definitely Donald” which is a … [Read more...]

The Great Gatsby- A remake of a classic?

Walking into this movie had me confused. I saw the trailers, read the synopsis and still was not exactly sure what this was about. I knew that it had Leo and Toby, beyond that I had no clue what else to expect. I have seen the 1974 version a long, long time ago and so that is what I had it to compare to. The music was updated, the cars were more animated and the overall scenery and costumes were certainly Oscar worthy. Past that- the story is the same. Don’t get me wrong, Leo and Toby both … [Read more...]

If you have been reading here for a while, or if you know me in real life, you may have seen or heard me talk about Krimson Klover before. A while back they sent me the most amazing knit jacket that I have ever worn in my whole entire life, no exaggeration. It is soft and warm and gorgeous! It feels makes me feel glamorous just to put it on, in fact sometimes when I am going to the grocery store and I don’t want to put on a nice shirt, I just throw my Krimson Klover knit jacket on over my … [Read more...]

For a while now Jason has been searching online for a car charger and mount for his iPhone 5. He was looking for something that would stick to the windshield so that he could use his phone for driving directions. He looked at plenty of them but the reviews either weren’t great or were just plain awful… or the mount cost was outrageous. Luckily I found one that was just perfect online! This kit includes everything to hold and charge an iPhone 5 while you are driving. The claw style … [Read more...]

Is Iron Man 3 good for kids?

Iron-man-3.png

Iron Man 3 is (obviously) the third movie in the Iron Man series, it was actually the first one that I have seen… but I will be going back to watch the other ones now. This movie was really great! We took all three kids with us Lou (9 year old niece), Tater (8 year old son) and Moose (6 year old son) and I wasn’t sure how they would do but they really loved the first two Iron Man movies and they were begging to see this one too, so I thought it was worth a shot. Marvel's "Iron Man … [Read more...]

Free For All Friday is back again this month with another sampling event hosted at King Soopers (and Kroger stores) across the U.S. During each Free For All Friday shoppers can visit their local chain to score free samples of select PepsiCo brands, while supplies last.  Last month you might remember me telling you about the Free For All Friday where you could sample the different flavors in the “Do Us A Flavor” promotion from Frito Lay where 3 flavors of chips are battling it out to be … [Read more...]

Skip it

twister-rave-skip-it.jpg

I see my kids’ playing with some of the toys that I used to play with when I was their age and it just takes me back. I can vividly remember playing with my own Skip It! as a little girl while I was over at my dad’s house. I would play with that thing for hours and hours, looking back, I shouldn’t have ever given it up… I would probably have the best legs if I had just kept doing the Skip It! every day! When the new and improved Twister Rave Skip It showed up in the mail a couple of … [Read more...]

Disney Paint at Walmart #DisneyPaintMom

disneycarsthemeroom.jpg

In your mind, picture a white room, a stark, plain, boring, white room. Yeah, that was my kids’ room and I hated it! I am sure they did too! It just felt so boring and neglected compared to every other room in our house. Time for a change! I went to Walmart and found out that they now offer Disney paint colors, and if you haven’t seen them, you should stop by and take a look. Who knew that Walmart had such awesome paint? I had no idea! The Disney paint colors are Glidden, a brand we all … [Read more...]
