**** This movie is he best out of all three I think. My family and I were able to see the movie at a early screening, but it looks a lot better on dvd. My kids enjoyed it and talked about the movie all day after we watched it.  My favorite part of the movie is when Tinker Bell gets fed up with the girls father not believeing his daughter and explodes at him with anger.  My children and I really loved the movie, but my husband who is a scientist, says that they are making science look bad.

Back To School with Zak Designs (Giveaway)Closed

- brandy3 90 Comments

From site: Since 1976, Zak Designs has been committed to making mealtime fun for people around the world. Whether it’s through dinnerware and on-the-go products that feature children’s favorite characters or tableware and kitchen prep products that represent the latest global fashion statements, Zak gives people the mealtime products that fit their appetites.

I received a Princess Lunchbox and a princess meal set.

****This lunch bag made my daughters eyes light up, when we she saw it. We decided that it may be better for ud to just pack her lunch everyday since she is such a picky eater, (maybe healthier too).  The Princess lunch bag is the perfect size, reuseable,  and would make any little princess proud to take her lunch to school. The meal set is dishwasher safe and perfect for those little hands. I do think the plate is a little to small, we could barely fit all of dinner on it.

Retail: $19.99 for lunchbox and meal set together at Amazon

When In Rome DVD Review

- brandy3 2 Comments

An ambitious young New Yorker , disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of those who threw them in: a sausage magnate, a street magician , an adoring painter  and a self-admiring model . But when a charming reporter  pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing? 

****This movie is so funny, but kind of sappy. I just wish when I was younger that was true, when you pull a coin from a wishing well or fountain, and someone falls in love with you.  I think this movie is perfect for hopeless romantics.   A young girl to busy with work says she doesn’t have time fo men.  She heads to Rome for her sister’s wedding, where she meets a handsome reporter. They dance together and she gets all flushed, thinking she may have found someone, but after the wedding she catches him kissing another girl. She gets drunk a fountain and goes to a fountain of love, where she starts pulling coins out. Suddenly all these guys fall for her, but she is still falling for the reporter.     

Retail:$29.99

Starstruck Extended Edition DVD/CD review

- brandy3 1 Comment

Product Description: StarStruck, a music and adventure-filled romp that hits all the right notes for kids and tweens, tells the story of Jessica Olson and her older sister Sara who are heading to Hollywood from Kalamazoo, Michigan, on a family trip to visit their grandmother. Sara is obsessed with pop star Christopher Wilde  and hopes to track him down while in California, but Jessica could care less about the stuck-up star and would rather go sightseeing. When the sisters arrive in L.A. Sara takes Jessica on a hunt to find Christopher and a chance meeting with the star sets off a series of comic adventures that feature many of L.A.’s landmark locations. As the sisters sightsee and spend time together, Jessica gets to know the real Christopher and soon their friendship grows. Ultimately Christopher must decide what is more important — being himself or becoming a movie star. Disney Channel stars Brandon Mychal Smith  and Chelsea Staub also star as Christopher’s loyal best friend and fame- hungry girlfriend, respectively.

Extras:

  • Extended version (only available on dvd)
  • CD with 8 songs
  • Three music videos

 

**** I absolutely adore this movie, It shows that there can be a softer side to “Stars”.  A teen star meets an ordinary girl, who does not care at all about him, and ends up falling for him as she gets to know the real him.   My daughter is only 5, but she really likes this movie, and with the bonus CD she sings to all the songs.  This dvd promotes honesty, humility, self acceptance and strength of character. This is a great movie!
