We love chuck, he is so much fun. My son watches him on the hub everyday. In this movie Chuck meets Flip and they compete against each other.

The movie package also comes with your own miniature Chuck toy! William can’t wait until a Flip toy comes out, he is super excited that Chuck has new friends.     We also received some Chuck car toys, a book set, sticker book, and Chuck cookie cutout.  William just went crazy over everything, he has become so attached to everything and won’t even let his sisters come near them.  Chuck is character to have a party with or even just to have a playdate.

KinderCare Summer and Spring Camp Fun

- brandy3 1 Comment

Summer is approaching and my kids will be out of school, so now is a great time to start thinking about summer camps and ways to keep the kids entertained while they can learn.  My husband will have a long summer working and while I am home, its hard to get out and about with 3 kids and do summer activities. So I am looking into Summer camps.

One of the places I’ve looked into is KinderCare since I have 2 children preschool age.  KinderCare has a variety of Summer and Spring camps available for all ages, from Toddler to Kindergarten.  Spring camp is all about getting down in the dirt and learning about science, while Summer camp there are 12 different fun Summer themes to choose from.

If your Spring break hasn’t passed yet, you can get in on the fun at Spring camp.  Spring camp is held during your school districts Spring break, and will have your child planting and tending to vegetables. They also get to make compost, garden related crafts, and even prepare their own veggie treats.  This is perfect for the kids who like to dig and get dirty.

If your spring break is passed, then you can still think about Summer camp like Scienterrific and Kids Kitchen.  I like Scienterrific because my husband is a scientist and I think it’s interesting for them to see what daddy does. Children learn physics of movement through hands on activities, like making paper airplanes.   Kids Kitchen help kids identify what they are eating, and determine what family they belong in.  They also get the chance to cook, making things like salsa, fruit fiesta and more.  It’s all centered around fruits and veggies.

There are over 1300 KinderCare locations, Check out the website and find one near you to get your kids started on a Spring or Summer fun adventure.

Disclosure: No compensation was received for this post. I will be receiving a free week of camp from KinderCare through Mom Select.

In this animated series, Blythe befriends the pets and introduces them to a world of adventures just outside their door.

Clue-Inspired by the iconic family game brand, this live-action series features six teens who are brought together when they believe they’ve witnessed a terrible crime. As a team, they discover conspiracy theories and cover-ups dating back centuries! They must work together to solve one mystery, only to realize that they may have opened a Pandora’s Box.

The Game Of Life-The live-action family game show “The Game of Life” will be presented in an entirely new way as each family team gets a chance at the iconic spinner and hops in the car for a one-of-a-kind journey through a larger-than-life virtual world. Hosted by comedian Frank Nicotero

These creatures harness special powers that if unleashed, could destroy the world as we know it. It is up to the boy to master his abilities in the ancient art of Kaijudo to protect their world and his own.

Majors & Minors-This groundbreaking reality series follows 16 talented young performers as they are mentored by the biggest and most established artists in the music industry.   While no one is ever voted off, one lucky “star-in-the-making’ will claim the final prize of a recording deal with the RCA/Jive label group and an opportunity to be featured in a cross-country concert tour.   Among the musical artists already scheduled to participate are Leona Lewis, Jordin Sparks, Sean Kingston and Ryan Tedder (of One Republic).

****This is Barbie’s 16th feature film, and we have all of them and then some.
