**** 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

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

Back To School with Crayola (giveaway)Closed


Crayola is making crayons with solar power, markers from recycled bottle caps and colored pencils from reforested wood, they are doing this by using solar power, reducing waste and protecting the rainforest. To inspire our kids today to grow up to inspire a healthier world.

There new green products consist of:

  1. Crayola Markers – Thanks to new, innovative ways to manufacture Crayola markers from recycled bottle caps, “black” is the new “green!” Crayola markers will now have black barrels instead of white, which allows for more recycled plastic to be used and gives a second life to more than 1 million pounds of plastic bottle caps. Plus, switching to black barrels keeps hundreds of tons of plastic out of landfills each year. Available in 10-ct. Broadline Classic Colors, 10-ct. Broadline Assorted Colors, 10-ct. Fineline Classic Colors, 8-ct. Washable Broadline and 8-ct. Washable Fineline.
  2. Crayola Green 24-ct. Crayons – The quintessential school supply found in virtually every elementary classroom will be made with the power of the sun. More than 26,200 solar panels will convert sunlight into electricity, generating the energy required to make 1 billion of the 3 billion crayons Crayola makes each year, which equals 60 million 24-ct. boxes. Mother Earth will be smiling down on every forest green, pine green and jungle green crayon that rolls off the assembly line!
  3. Crayola Green Colored Pencils – Committed to protecting the rain forests since 1987, all Crayola colored pencils have been made from reforested wood instead of wood sourced from tropical rainforest or endangered species. For every tree used, a new tree of the same species is planted. The 12-, 24-, 36-, and 50-ct. boxes of Crayola Colored Pencils will be among the first to carry the “Eco-Evolution” callout on their packaging.

*** I really like that a brand we trust  is going the extra mileo  to help the earth.  We have always been big on trying to recycle and conserve, so getting my children more involved and helping them learn about the new green crayons is exciting for them. They draw and write just like the original Crayola.

I have a Green Pack of Crayola to giveaway to one reader(Everything featured below).
