Slow Clean Up After #HurricaneSandy

- brandy3 1 Comment

Everything is pretty much back to normal here on Long Island, we have power and gas lines are gone. Unfortunately the one thing here in my city that reminds everyone everyday how strong Sandy was is……

Down trees and brush at the end of driveways.

A lot of trees came down with Hurrican Sandy and I mean a lot. Even trees that have been standing for over 60 years. The big trees brought up the earth and even parts of the road.

This is the bottom of a downed tree, there is a big whole in the ground now.

The same tree from a side view.

It’s hard to get through small roads around here, because people have set their down their brush and branches, tree stumps etc. 3 weeks after Sandy ad they are still at the end of driveways. It has become a hazard for cars and pedestrians.

Most of the natural landscape and small parks, just have trees laying everywhere. They have not been moved at all for the safety of anyone.

Holiday Gift Guide: My Little Pony Castle Review

- brandy3 1 Comment

 

Celebrate the royal MY LITTLE PONY wedding of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor ponies with the Pony Princess Castle playset. All the excitement of the pony wedding comes alive with this castle playset featuring an elegant staircase, swinging bench, and balcony for the prince and princess, and lots of fun wedding accessories!

*** My daughter is a My Little Pony Fanatic, and as soon as she saw the pony wedding, she was begging for the castle toy.   My daughter was really excited about getting Princess Cadence, and her first boy pony Shining Armor.

The set has a lot of pieces, but is very easy to put together. Only took about 10 minutes. The placing of the stickers is a little tricky as there are so many. The set is beautiful when put together. After a couple times at play when we went to move the castle, it started falling apart. Nothing broke, but it’s a pain having to put it together over and over.

Even after all that it is my daughters favorite toy.

You can pick up the My Little Pony Castle at retailers nationwide or at Hasbro Toy Shop.

Holiday Guide: Holiday Gifts with Personal Creations

- brandy3 2 Comments

Personal Creations is a website where you can find the best personalized gifts for any occasion. They have Christmas, birthday and anniversary gifts.

I love personalized gifts they make the gift so much more special. I decided to get a few gifts for my kids as well as for myself.  For my kids I bought Personalized character placemats. Disney Cars, Princess and Fairies all personalized with their names.

 

I love these placemats, my kids say they make mea time so much more fun.  They seem a little flimsy, but they seem to be holding up so far.  They are laminated which is great, it makes them easier to clean and wipe down.

I also got my son a personalized t-shirt with his name and Spongebob characters.

This shirt is so much fun.  My son loves Spongebob and to be recognized. Now whenever he wears this shirt and we are out everyone says Hi, William I love your eyes. LOL!  It can also be a little scary though I guess. Either way he loves this shirt.

I also ordered a personalized ornament. My favorite thing about this ornament is it is personalized for my whole family.  I absolutely adore this ornament, my whole family loves it. It is so detailed from every little head with a name to the blanket.

My last name is so long that I could only put my last name instead of The Walleshausers.

Holiday Gift Guide: Brave, The Best Princess Movie Ever

- brandy3 2 Comments

One movie that I waited all year for was Brave.

Set in the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland, Disney Pixar’s Brave follows the heroic journey of Merida, a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to change her fate, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh  and cantankerous Lord Dingwall, unleashing chaos in the kingdom. When she turns to an eccentric Witch, she is granted an ill-fated wish and the ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her resources including her mischievous triplet brothers to undo a beastly curse and discover the meaning of true bravery.

Blu-ray Bonus Features:

  • La Luna Theaterical Short  (also on Blu-ray 3D and dvd)
  • The Legend of Mor’Du: short (also on dvd)
  • Brave Old World
  • Merida and Elinor
  • Bears
  • Brawl in the Hall
  • Wonder Moss
  • Magic
  • Clan Pixar
  • Once Upon a Scene
  • Extended Scenes
  • Director Commentary (also on dvd)
  • Fergus & Mor’Du” an alternate opening
  • Fallen Warriors Montage
  • Dirty Hairy People
  • It is English sort of
  • Angus
  • The Tapestry
  • Promotional Pieces
  • Art Gallery
  • Wee Gaffes
  • Teasers and sneak peeks

*** I am Scottish so I grew up knowing the clans and tartans. So when I heard that Disney Pixar was coming out with a Princess movie based in Scotland, I was so thrilled and couldn’t wait to see it. I was actually following along with the clans as I was watching and learning. Every detail of this movie is on key with what Scotland looks like, I just can’t get over the detail. If you don’t know what Clans and Tartans are you will definitely find out in this movie. Clans are based on your last name, and your tartan is how you identify yourself during ceremonies.

For Ex my Clan is Cunningham and this is how you would identify

Crest Badge    

Tartan:

Another reason I really like this movie is it’s a Princess movie, but not a typical Princess movie. Most Princess movies are the same, evil step-mother or sister that hates her. Then she finds love and they live happily ever after. the end.  In Brave, there is so much adventure and she is not girly at all. She loves to use a bow and she loves adventure.   This is the perfect holiday movie for anyone, it’s funny, scary, exciting and so much more.
