Disney’s Descendants is the untold story of Disney classic characters who are eagerly preparing for the face off between their villainous offspring who must choose between following in their parents’ footsteps to help all the villains regain power or embrace their innate goodness to save the kingdom.

My kids couldn’t wait to see this movie. They said it was definitely worth the wait. The movie is all about the children of Disney villains and fairytale characters. The villains including Mal (daughter of Maleficent), Jay (Son of Jafar), Carlos (son of Cruela De Ville), and Evie (daughter of the evil queen) as they are invited to join the sons and daughters of fairytale characters after their parents were banished to the Isle of the lost.

Their mission is to try and steal Fair Godmothers wand to rule, but they all seem to enjoy the benefits of being in Aurodon. They have a evil moment but ultimately decided they want to stay and be good.

My kids love this movie and the music. they can’t stop watching it.

Disclosure: A gift card was provided to attend the event. Al opinions are 100% my own.

KIDS BY SAFILO-2

I was invited to the Safilo studio to preview their new line of glasses for kids ages 0-8. I had never even heard of Safilo, but my son wears glasses and we go through so much trouble with them I wanted to learn more.

Kids By Safilo is a new eyewear collection designed for children with a medical-scientific approach and engineered with advanced technologies and materials.

These glasses are absolutely adorable and are perfect for kids. Some of the features:
Bio based and non toxic
Stay firm on nose (no annoying hinges or metal parts)
light weight design
fun and colorful
made 100% in Italy

I loved viewing these glasses they are made for everyday challenges that kids go through. You don’t have to worry about them biting on the ear pieces or bending them.

In addition to seeing their showroom, I was able to talk with 3 leading experts on kids eye vision and why it is so important.
A parent will take their child to the dentist before getting a eye exam.

This event was so important to me, because I am one of those parents that never noticed the signs. My son was in first grade and started complaining about having to walk up to the board in school to see, I just thought that he was back to far. Then I got a call from the nurse, he failed his eye exam. I took him to get a eye exam, and felt so bad. His vision is horrible including a high astigmatism, Far sighted in one eye, near in the other.

He received his glasses and the first thing he said was “The world seems so big”

It’s absolutely important to get your child a vision exam, even if you don’t think anything is wrong.

Marsha Mellow Goes Missing: An Unoffical Story For Shopkins Collectors

- brandy3 1 Comment

Shopkins featuring 450 characters from three seasons, are tint adorable themed characters that have become one of the most popular toys.

Screen Shot 2015-06-18 at 10.21.55 AM

What’s even more fun than shopping for Shopkins? Hanging out with friends who love them! Meet the Shopkins Kids Club, five girls who meet every week to buy, trade, and play with their favorite characters. As they build their prized collections, they also collect adventures—and little lessons about friendship and family, too.

Nine-year-old Maggie can’t wait to go camping with her grandparents and her friends from the Shopkins Kids Club. The five girls sit around the campfire, making s’mores, singing songs, and trading Shopkins. Everything is perfect, except for Maggie’s annoying little brother, Max, who’s being a huge pain. But when Maggie’s prized Marsha Mellow goes missing, the campout heads downhill fast. Maggie suspects that one of her friends might be the culprit: envious Ava has been eying up her Marsha Mellow all night! Can Maggie find Marsha Mellow—and find a way to salvage her friendships and her campout?

As Maggie follows the clues to find the missing Marsha Mellow, she learns lessons about taking care of your things, not judging others too quickly, apologizing when you need to, and, most of all, inclusion: inviting others to join in instead of keeping them out. More members in the Shopkins Kids Club just means more fun! Join Maggie and the Shopkins Kids Club in this brand-new story for Shopkins collectors!

** Both of my daughters just got done reading this book and they loved it. They said it was full of adventure, friendship and caring. My daughter said it even hinted as to what pack you might find Marsha Mellow in.

It’s only 112 pages, so the younger kids can read it without losing attention to fast.

Marsha Mellow Goes Missing will be available June 23, 2015 for $7.99

Jurassic World is finally in theaters, the wait is over. We can’t wait until we see it this weekend. It’s going to be the ultimate rush movie. Leaving you on the edge of your seat.

So after you and your family see Jurassic World everyone is going to want to reenact the scenes from the movie. So why not do so with a Jurassic World Lego set.

This lego set is so much fun, although it took my 2 hours to put together. My son loves it. It comes with 2 raptors, 3 lego figurines and enough legos to build a dinosaur medic van and motorcycle. My son has not stopped playing with it. He loves how interactive it is. The van doors open in the back as well as the driver an passenger side. It has a small weapon on top that really shoots little arrows, and the raptors can open their mouths and move their arms and legs. (with the child’s help of course.)

Shopkins Season 3 Is Finally Here

- brandy3 2 Comments

Shopkins are finally available in store, well at Toys R Us at least for now. Moose Toys has released a limited amount of packs to Toys R Us locations nationwide.
Not all Shopkins are available yet, I have yet to see a few Shopkins in each category like Mixie and Maxie, or Cherie Tomato.

DSCN1151

A few people on the west coast have found the season 3 plays sets, but when asking a Target employee he said they are not suppose to be out yet. So not really sure what is going on with that. Everything is suppose to be out in August, and I am hoping that is true.
The crowds and craziness have been a bit to overwhelming for me. People have been lining up at stores at 7 am, and of course there are the people that sell on ebay for ridiculous prices.
For me it’s all about the kids, and my kids absolutely Love Shopkins. Moose Toys sent us a few packs to open, and the kids were zoo excited.

Blind Bags:

12 pack

5 pack reveal:

Whats your favorite from season 3 so far? Mine would have to be the Croissants from the package. So tiny, but so cute.

Season 3 Shopkins are now in stock at Toys R Us online.

Season 3 Shopkins are Here

- brandy3 1 Comment

Disclosure: Absolutely no compensation was received for this post. All products were bought on my own.

Season 3 Shopkins are finally here, well trickling out very slowly. I saw that they were available online at Toys R Us and quickly put in a order. They sold out within 1 hour.

We have been waiting for season 3 after finishing up our collection. We have one of each character not color, excluding Limited Editions.

DSCN0971

Season 3 Shopkins are so cute. The categories include: Fruit and Veggies, International Foods, Homewares, Stationaries, Hats, Shoes, Sweet Treats and Bakery. Of course there are limited editions also, they are jewels.

DSCN0973

They are so cute: Although some of the Shopkins seem a bit smaller than season 1 and 2. But I love that they are including more male related Shopkins this time around. Colors are more solid and more Shopkins featuring male names, like Aspara-Gus, Ginger-Fred, Casper Cap and a few more.

Our favorites are:
Kenzie loves Nettie Spaghetti
William Loves Ginger-Fred
Alex loves Fiona Fries
Brandy loves Sconnie

Reveal 2

Reveal 3

Who is excited? I’am but to be honest I am not about the hunt. Every time my local stores get them one person wipes them out.
You will be able to find these in stores very soon or keep checking online for updates and in stock orders.
