The Aftermath of Christmas

- brandy3

My house was a total disaster after Christmas, toys, clothes, paper etc. everywhere.

This was only a little part of the house.

My house stayed like this all Christmas and most of the 26th. There was just to much stuff and not enough organization. So I braved the crowds for after Christmas shopping and bought a Closetmaid bin organizer, on sale at Target for $39.99.

We have had one for a long time, but needed to as another, yes we just have that many toys. Plus I wanted to be able to put some books in the living room, as well as some other toys.

So today , I put the kids to work with me. Hubby is at work. We took down the tree today and got to cleaning.

The end result I am very satisfied with.

Now if I can just keep it like this until New Years. After all my mother always said, a dirty house on New years is a dirty house all year. LOL

Santa Was Too Good

- brandy3

Well “Santa” came, even though my kids are still confused on if he is real. I told them the truth, but the movies and their friends say otherwise.

Santa came and he was way to good to the kids.

and the back of the tree

The kids apparently got everything that they wanted!  they each had about 27 presents each, between santa, family and friends. That is about 80 presents, that is crazy.   I told them, next year we will go on vacation and do 1-2 presents.

Rizzoli and Isles Season finale tonight

- brandy3


Rizzoli and Isles season finale is on tonight at 10/9c on TNT. Since this is the season Finale you know it is going to be good and full of excitement.

Jane and Maura investigate whether arson played any role in the death of a firefighter killed in a warehouse fire. Not too long after, a hit-and-run complicates the case. FBI Agent Gabriel Dean returns eager to renew his relationship with Jane.

I am so excited to watch the season finale, every episode has been so exciting. I expect tonights episode to be the breaking point of everything. They will be working on a arson case, and immediately move to another case that interferes with the first. At the same time though love lives will spice up and questions will be answered. I can’t wait until tonight.

If you haven’t seen the show, you can check it out here http://bit.ly/lnDvyi!

I have been hired by Warner Bros. WBWord division to promote Rizzoli & Isles.

Holiday Gift Guide: Leapfrog LeapPad Explorer

- brandy3 2 Comments

Leapfrog’s Leappad is a learning tablet just for kids. With a built-in camera, and a library of 100+ cartridge games and activities*, the durable LeapPad features innovative apps that inspire creativity and turn reading into fun and games. It’s a new way to learn, a new way to play – a new way to unlock your child’s potential!

It is the #1 selling kids electronic this Christmas season selling out nationwide.

When I first received this, I immediately fell in love with it. If I didn’t have to fight my son for it I would keep it myself. I don’t own a iPad so this was totally new to me. One of my favorite games I played with my son was the train game. You have to fix the tracks the right way to make sure the train goes the right way.

The camera is a fun feature, but my kids have been using it way to much. They walk around just snapping pictures of everything and making them their own with features. I took a picture of my son and then we started having fun with it. We moved to his nose to make it a long point.

Now the only problem I have is I have one Leappad and 3 kids, even though we do have 2 Leapster Explorers. The Leappad is so much more cooler than a Leapster according to my daughter.

Holiday Gift Guide: Barbie A Perfect Christmas

- brandy3

Join Barbie and her sisters Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea  as their holiday vacation plans turn into a most unexpected adventure and heartwarming lesson. After a snowstorm diverts their plane, the girls find themselves far from their New York destination and their holiday dreams. Now stranded at a remote inn in the tiny town of Tannenbaum, the sisters are welcomed by new friends and magical experiences. In appreciation for the wonderful hospitality they receive, they use their musical talents to put on a performance for the whole town. Barbie and her sisters realize the joy of being together is what really makes A Perfect Christmas.

****This Barbie movie is a lot different than all of the other Barbie movies. First the movie features all of Barbie’s sisters. Even though I know she has more than that. Baby sister Kelly?  The voice of Barbie is not the same and she even looks different in this movie. She looks like a adult in this movie, and is even kind of a mother figure in the movie.  Besides all that the movie was a very good, teaching the kids that Christmas is all about family rather than just toys.   I wouldn’t say this was my favorite Barbie movie so far, but my kids enjoyed it.

The next Barbie movie lined up for Spring is Barbie In A Mermaid Tale part 2, we loved the first one so I hope this one is good.

Retail: $19.98 but you can find on Amazon for $12.99
