The Russo family is going on vacation, but when Alex maks a wish that could possibly destroy her family. While Max tries to keep his parents together.  Alex and Justin set out on an adventure to find the stone of dreams. It’s the only way they can reverse the spell ans save their family.

Bonus Features

• Insider’s Exclusive – On Location! – Your Favorite Stars Reveal: Special Effects,Movie Stunts,Magical Props, Animal Actors & More!

****This movie is jam-packed with adventure and of course magic.  My favorite part is when Alex and Justine go on the adventure together. The brother and sister love really comes out. We watch the show all the time and this movie really shows the sensitive side of Alex. This movie also comes with a little magic stone key chain. Which of course my kids fought over but it the key chain is very cute.   This movie really shows the meaning of family, and how important it is.

I Catch A Character Review and giveaway(closed)

- brandy3 2 Comments

I recently got to try out www.icaughtsanta.com. icaughtsanta is  family-friendly website providing parents with instant, ‘Picture-Perfect’ Proof that Santa was in their home! They also provide free videos of Santa in your home with every purchase.

They have even added new characters so you don’t have to choose just Santa, they also have Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, And Cupid. 

All you do is upload a photo(of your tree,childs pillow etc.) then choose your character and pose, then you have your photo.

You know when I first saw blogs doing this review i was skeptical, because every blog has the perfect little home with tile floors, beautiful  fireplace etc. I thought it was all set up like that. As you can tell though my house is not perfect.  I think this is a great idea.

Here is the picture i made and I think it’s a fun idea to show your kids on christmas. “Look i caught santa on camera last night.”  I explained it to my children and they were so excited. On the other hand my husband wasn’t very thrilled about it, he said its kindof brainwashing knowing the truth.  It’s all in fun though!

I have 9 codes to giveaway for you to create your own photo.

To enter tell me which character you would use. Santa, Cupid, Easter Bunny, Toothfairy?

Unlimited entries. you can tweet, blog about this as much as you would like.

Blogging vs Parenting

- brandy3 1 Comment

This is not geared towards anyone.

I wrote this because I even struggle with this problem.

Blogging is my hobby and I love it. I get a lot of fun out of it and I try to bring fun to everyone else. If you’ve noticed though my blogging time has been cut down tremendously.    I blog a lot when kids are sleeping, but hubby complains.

  I realized that I was spending too much time on the computer and not enough time with my children, or husband. Now I am home all day with my kids, but I do go on the computer  occasionally.  My children are never unattended, and my laptop follows them.

Family is always first. Money, free products, free trips, etc. is nice, but if it doesn’t involve my family it’s not worth it.
