Celebrate Halloween With Costume Supercenter

- brandy3 1 Comment

Halloween is a little over a month away, I am so excited it is my favorite holiday..

I am a little to old to trick or treat (Snicker), but I love being able to dress up my kids and take them around. Every year I let my kids choose their own costumes, and this year my daughter chose a costume from Costume Supercenter. They have a huge variety of kids costumes to choose from.

Their new characters this year are Monster High, Hello Kitty, Disney Newest Princess Rapunzel, and so much more.

My daughter chose Rapunzel!

This costume is so adorable, and perfectly matches Rapunzel’s character. The dress is purple with pink trim, sheer sleeves and a bow with Rapunzel’s picture. The dress also comes with a petticoat and a crown.  The crown is all fabric, but fits heads better as it is more of a head band. The sleeves were a little tight and left bands on her arm, but she didn’t mind. Rapunzel will be celebrating in London in a few days, she is officially becoming a Disney Princess. My daughter will be wearing her costume while she watches.

This costume retails for $46.99

Lion King Blu-ray Combo Pack GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 188 Comments

Even though Lion King 3D is in theaters now, It’s coming to dvd on October 4, 2011.

An unforgettable story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters and award-winning music sets the stage for “The Lion King”, a Disney classic that follows the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who “just can’t wait to be king.” But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba’s exile from the kingdom. Alone and adrift, Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal, Pumbaa. Adopting their carefree lifestyle of “Hakuna Matata,” Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the “Circle of Life.” The all-star vocal talents—including Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Ernie Sabella, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Robert Guillaume, Cheech Marin and Moira Kelly—rip-roaring comedy and uplifting messages of courage, loyalty and hope make this a timeless tale for all ages.

I have one copy to giveaway to a US reader.

Finally Making Time For Me

- brandy3 2 Comments

Sounds funny doesn’t it? Well it’s the truth.
I have always been the kind of person to put others before myself, always. Thats one of the reasons I am such a insider.

Well I have finally decided that enough is enough, I have let myself go, further than I would like. So I am putting time for me to get back to my old self.

By that I mean losing weight, Yes having 3 kids in 32 months took a big toll on my body. I lost the weight and then gained it back through stress.
My proposal for my weight loss is I am giving myself 1 year, before Blogher 12 to lose 30 lbs. I think I can do it, It’s just going to take a lot of motivation.

Clear skin, yes you read that right. I will be 27 in 2 days and I have the skin of a 15 year old. I have seen a dermatologist and am on Meds to clear up my skin. So hopefully that will work.

Get my teeth fixed, I have always been told by dentist my teeth age faster than my age. A problem that resulted from major head trauma as a child. Well I am hoping to get my teeth fixed as much as I can.
This is me now

In a years Time, I hope to post a pic of a whole new me!

Quest For Zhu DVD Review and Giveaway Closed

- brandy3 48 Comments

 

The heartwarming tale of four lively young teens (who just happen to be hamsters) on a quest to find the Palace of Zhu, where they believe all their dreams will come true. Join the feisty and lovable Pipsqueak as she gets swept away to the other side of the Zhuniverse. On her adventure, she befriends Chunk, Num Nums and Mr. Squiggles, and when they arrive at the Palace of Zhu, they realize it is just the beginning of their remarkable journey. A mean-spirited and controlling reptilian creature, Mezhula, tries to stand in the way of making all of their dreams come true but, by working together, our true Zhu heroes save the day! Pipsqueak realizes she already had everything she ever dreamed of and all she really wants is to find a way back home.

**** Quest for Zhu was a bit different of a movie than I was expecting. I was expecting a movie that would go along with the Zhu Zhu playlets and such, even though I don’t know where that would go.  After Pipsqueak runs away from her owner she meets up with all the other Zhu Zhu and they head for palace of Zhu. When they arrive they find the palace has been taken over and have a bigger adventure to come and save the palace.

My kids loved this movie and even acted out the parts with their own little Zhu Zhu action figures.

Release date: September 27, 2011

I have 1 copy of Quest For Zhu to giveaway to a lucky US reader

How Stupid Half Day Kindergarten is

- brandy3

This year our school decided to go half day kindergarten, due to budget cuts. Well this past week was meet the teacher night, and my daughter kindergarten teacher was explaining how things would work for the Pm session. Well apparently the Am session gets it good and the PM (which I have) gets the short end.

Half days Pm does not have school, which means my daughter has like 6 days or more less school than everyone else.

Parades, concerts etc usually happen in the Am, so my daughter will miss out on those.

Everyone gets out of school, June 22 last day.

Half day afternoon gets out June 20.

I think half day Kindergarten is the stupidest thing ever and our future president needs to put more money into education.

Sorry just needed to rant

The Mentalist: Red Johns mole?

- brandy3

During Season 3, Patrick is on a mission to identify who Red John’s mole within the CBI is.

I thought the mole within CBI would be Craig O Laughlin, who was also Graces Boyfriend. He has held back firing at enemies when another CBI agent was under attack, which made me think he is a dirty agent. Plus I really wanted Grace to see how bad he is and get back with Wayne. Turns out I was right, he is the mole.  Get the dvd and see how it all went down!

The Mentalist investigation sites

- brandy3

In Season 3 of The Mentalist  Patrick Jane solving mysteries at locations including a racetrack, driving range, gold country and a mixed martial arts match.

I think that the hardest place to solve a mystery would be a mixed martial arts match, just because you have angry men, not releasing any information that you need. Plus there are always tons of people  around.

I mean any of these places he investigated would be hard, just because they are all big areas and there are always people coming and going.
