Easter: Hop Movie Night

- brandy3

We were able to have a Hop movie screening night. We decided Easter would be the perfect night to sit down as a family and watch the movie, since all of our schedules are clear.

My kids and I were able to see Hop in theaters during a birthday party, but my husband has never seen it. They have been anxiously awaiting today to share the movie with their dad.

The movie was so hilarious. E.B Bunny doesn’t want to take over as the Easter Bunny, but wants to become a famous drummer. He sets off to Hollywood, where he meets Fred. They end up being best friends and through all the obstacles become co-Easter Bunnies!  One of my favorite parts in the movie was when E.B pretended to be a stuffed animal, and was making faces whenever Fred’s sister Sam would hold E.B. Then he pretended to be a walking toy that claps his hands, It is so funny and cute.

Celebrate Easter With Build A Bear and Hop

- brandy3 2 Comments

Easter is just right  around the corner and everyone will be cuddling with bunnies and chicks. It’s what Easter is all about, oh and finding eggs too.

The movie Hop came out in theaters last year and is coming to dvd March 23, 2012. Hop is about E.B Bunny who is destined to take over as the Easter bunny, but all he wants to do is rock out on the drums. He goes to Hollywood to peruse his dream.

So when you pick up your copy of Hop for a Easter basket, pick up E.B Bunny from Build A Bear Workshop for your child to cuddle up with while watching the movie.

E.B Bunny is so cute and soft, he is a great addition to any easter basket. His clothes are what really makes him look like the character from the movie without them he just doesn’t seem the same. I received E.B Bunny from Build A Bear Workshop for review and my kids just love him.

My kids have been watching the movie while cuddling with this little guy and they can’t get enough of him.

You can buy Eb Bunny from Build a Bear Workshop for $23.00 and his clothes are available for $10.50

Easter Idea: Creativity Matters with Crayola GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 450 Comments

I love when my kids draw or build things,  it shows their creativity and imagination.

Creativity is something every child can learn and express on their own, it helps them get ready for the future and beyond. Creativity is not about who´s the best artists or becoming an architect. It´s a way of thinking that encourages kids´ original ideas and develops their confidence.

We received a Crayola prize pack to get our creative minds rolling.

  • My first Crayola Washable crayons, markers and stampers- .
  • Crayola Mess Free Color Wonder Tiny Tube-
  • Crayola Crystal Effect Window Markers
  • Crayola Washable Kaleidoscope  Chalk
  • Crayola Dry Erase Crayons
  • Crayola Dual Sided Dry Erase Board

We absolutely loved all of these Crayola products, my favorite was the My First Crayola because they are perfect for my sons little hands. So much easier for him to draw his pictures.  My daughters loved the 3D chalk, they drew on the side walk and then it came to life. The red stood out more than any other color.  The window markers are fun to use and easy to clean off, but we didn’t go to crazy with it just in case.  The dry erase markers and board, really come in use in my house. My daughters use them for homework problems, but the only downside is that when you erase there is still a residue. It does not come off very well.

 

Crayola held a “Inside The Crayola Box” event with Lisa Loeb, where she shared her insights and her kids creativity.

I have a Crayola Prize pack to giveaway to one reader. One US reader will win all the same items i received.

To enter: Tell me your child’s favorite Crayola product?

Eating Healthier With Hormel Foods #HormelFamily

- brandy3 2 Comments

March is national nutrition month, with this years theme being “Get Your Plate In Shape.” The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics started this campaign to emphasize making good food choices and physical activity. You can find out more about this campaign and resources to help with healthier eating on their website.

I am the primary cooker in my house and make all the grocery decisions. I do try to incorporate a salad, vegetable or fruit with every meal. There are times I let myself give into temptation, making hamburgers and french fries or giving into sugary snacks during the day. It can be stressful taking care of three kids all under the age of 7, so I always have comfort foods on hand.

This month in honor of Natonal Nutrition month, I wanted to try something different. I have not boughten any sugary candies, and limited our in tae of red meats and other sugary treats. I introduced my children to Wholly Guacamole, for a snack, while they did not seen to like it at first. I tried adding just a little sour cream and cheese and the loved it. Since the love pepperoni so much, I had the try the Hormel Turkey pepperoni instead of the regular and they loved it. They almost ate the whole package.

Packing a good school lunch is alway important, and I usually always pack a drink (no fructose corn syrup), a fruit, and a sandwich. my kids are very picky and won’t eat wheat bread, so i have to buy whole grain white bread and without milk. The sandwiches are topped with Hormel Natural choices Turkey and Ham, cheese and lettuce (what my daughter calls salad). Hormel Natural choices deli meats are 100% natural meats with no preservatives.

I really hope to continue this path i’m on to eating right. What is your favorite eat right tip? Is there anything you have given up to eat healthy? Mine would be soda! I have been soda free for 3 months!!

Disclosure: I’ve partnered with Hormel Foods as part of the Hormel Foods Extended Family Blogger Program. Throughout the year I’ll be receiving product, coupons, giveaways and promotions. However, no payment was given or expected for posting about the program, and as always, all opinions given here are fully my own.

**** I love the Muppets but they have long been gone on TV, so my children have only been able to enjoy The Muppets Movies. We were so thrilled when they made the announcement on this movie, and were even more excited when we able to see it in theaters. The Muppets are hilarious, after years apart The Muppets are brought back together by  big fan trying to save Muppet Theatre.  The start a big telethon to raise the money to save the theatre, but a evil billionaire is trying to stop them.  I was surprised at how many celebrities are in this movie, but it just made the movie that much funnier.   I have two favorite parts in this movie, my first is the Muppet of a Man scene.

Silk Fruit And Protein Review And GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 170 Comments

 

Wake up to the great taste of fruit juice plus the nourishing power of protein. Silky-smooth, fruit-luscious and easy to love, Silk Fruit&Protein is marvelous in the morning or awesome in the afternoon.

Silk Fruit and Protein is available in 3 different flavors

  1. Mango Peach-A hint of Exotic juicy mango, sweet peach, and more.
  2. Mixed Berry- A tangy-sweet blend of blueberry, raspberry and more.
  3. Strawberry Banana- A classic blend of creamy banana, strawberry and more.

 

 

Silk Fruit and Protein is a good source of protein, vitamin D, vitamin C and calcium. There are 5 grams of protein per serving.

After searching and searching for this product I finally found it at my local ShopRite store. They only had two flavors available, Mixed Berry and Strawberry and Banana.

*** I am really excited to be able to try these. My family has struggled with lactose intolerance for a while. It’s been really hard on the kids not being able to have certain things, the Silk Fruit and Protein can take the place of a normal smoothie. The Strawberry Banana was okay, it tastes more like a banana than anything else. The Mixed Berry I really really like, it’s a blend of all fruits with a smoothie taste.   I really love Silk and the Fruit and Protein is the perfect treat for my family. it’s good for you and of course lactose free, so I don’t have to worry about allergies.

Mega Bloks Police Fire Patrol rescue Set

- brandy3

All missions are possible when you team up with the two Rescue vehicles of the Blok Squad Fire Patrol Rescue! Build the Fire Rescue Pumper Truck and roar through the streets of Bloktropolis with sirens blaring, carrying hundreds of gallons of water to help put out a fire. Have your Blok Squad Firefighters hook up their hoses and put out fires in even the most remote areas of Bloktropolis! Construct the Fire Patrol ATV and have your Blok Squad Firefighter ride through the toughest terrains to reach any country or city fire!

***** When we first received this set, my son would not stop begging for it to get put together. He wants to be a Fireman when he grows up, so as you can imagine this has become one of his new favorite toys.  The set is really cute, you have a fire truck that opens up to store little axes. And you can also build a small ATV, both have places for the Firemen to sit.  My only complaint is that it fell apart easily, which was to expected since they are blocks. So I have rebuilt it about 35 times in the past month. LOL!
