We watch the show all the time and this movie really shows the sensitive side of Alex. This movie also comes with a little magic stone key chain. Which of course my kids fought over but it the key chain is very cute.   This movie really shows the meaning of family, and how important it is.

I Catch A Character Review and giveaway(closed)

- brandy3 2 Comments

I recently got to try out www.icaughtsanta.com. icaughtsanta is  family-friendly website providing parents with instant, ‘Picture-Perfect’ Proof that Santa was in their home! They also provide free videos of Santa in your home with every purchase.

They have even added new characters so you don’t have to choose just Santa, they also have Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, And Cupid. 

All you do is upload a photo(of your tree,childs pillow etc.) then choose your character and pose, then you have your photo.

You know when I first saw blogs doing this review i was skeptical, because every blog has the perfect little home with tile floors, beautiful  fireplace etc. I thought it was all set up like that. As you can tell though my house is not perfect.  I think this is a great idea.

Here is the picture i made and I think it’s a fun idea to show your kids on christmas. “Look i caught santa on camera last night.”  I explained it to my children and they were so excited. On the other hand my husband wasn’t very thrilled about it, he said its kindof brainwashing knowing the truth.  It’s all in fun though!

I have 9 codes to giveaway for you to create your own photo.

To enter tell me which character you would use. Santa, Cupid, Easter Bunny, Toothfairy?

Unlimited entries. you can tweet, blog about this as much as you would like.

Holiday Gift Guide:V Tech V motion system

- brandy3 1 Comment

Here are some great tips from V Tech Voices:

Get organized. Bins marked for ornaments and decorations make things easy to find, so more time can be spent enjoying decorating.

Be thrifty and creative. Spend time with your kids making homemade decorations and teachers gifts.

Let the kids help. Bake cookies, wrap presents and make holiday cards together. The kids are kept busy and get a sense of accomplishment and pride for helping the parents out

Get in the holiday spirit. Think about how to be your best from the moment you get up, almost like a mantra you’d use in yoga, to tackle your holiday “to-do’s” calmly.

Take advantage of online shopping. Avoid the stress of the mall by shopping online. Great for relatives who live out-of-state, the convenience of direct shipping is priceless.

I got to work with V Tech recently and they sent a V Motion active learning system.

From site: Put your child in motion while driving home lessons in math, reading, science, spelling and more with V.Smile Motion™ TV Learning System! V.Smile Motion™ is a breakthrough gaming console that combines wireless, motion-activated play, web connectivity and educational gaming into a system that plugs directly into your TV!

Plus they have some of the best games for it your kids will love including Cars, Tinkerbell, Dora, Monsters Vs. Aliens, Winnie the Pooh and more.

****This is so much fun and gets your kids up and moving.  The game is very easy to ise and great for preschoolers. I went out and got Monsters vs. Aliens, Cars, and Tinkerbell. My children enjoyed this system so much, and it is so much more child friendly then my Playstation.  What I really love about this system is it gets your child up and moving rather than sitting on the couch.
