Disney’s Old Dogs DVD/Blu-Ray Review

OldDogs3DiscComboPackBluray.jpg

Description:John Travolta and Robin Williams star in Old Dogs, the hilarious family comedy that will have you howling. Two best friends have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of seven-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The clueless bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the children, leading to one debacle after another, with a gorilla and some pecking penguins — and perhaps to a newfound understanding of what’s really important in life. Featuring a riotously funny supporting cast including Seth Green, Kelly Preston, Matt Dillon and Lori Laughlin, Old Dogs is a laugh-a-minute comedy filled with heart.

Bonus Features:

  • Bloopers and deleted scenes
  • Audio commentary
  • Every little step- music video by John and Ella Bleu Travolta

Bonus on Blu -ray

  • you’ve been a friend to me-music video
  • Young dogs learn old tricks

****I didn’t think that this movie would be that funny, but it is, It has it’s boring parts too. The gorilla enclosure scene is hilarious, and i think Seth Green did a great job in that part. I also liked when Robin Williams and Kelly Preston were having dinner and he totally has the wrong idea of the conversation, just to be hit with a bomb shell.  I really like that me and hubby can enjoy a funny movie without having to worry about the kids walking around the corner and seeing or hearing  something inappropriate. This movie is for the whole family and is only rated PG.

3 Musketeers Truffle Crisp Candy Bar Review

I absolutely love 3 Musketeers candy bars. They are so good and I was so excited to find out that they were coming out with 3 Musketeers Truffle Crisp.

Description: Three Musketeers Truffle Crisp delivers a unique experience through twin bars of rich whipped truffle and elegant airy crisp, wrapped in real milk chocolate.

About 3 Musketeers brand-For the past 75 years, 3 MUSKETEERS has provided chocolate lovers a light and fluffy chocolate treat, with 45% less fat than the average leading chocolate brands.

**** To me the new Truffle Crisp doesn’t taste anything like the original 3 Musketeers.  You taste more of the chocolate and airy crisp, then the whipped truffle, which is my favorite part.  It is still very good and a great snack for those stressed out mom moments, or any other snack time. My kids loved it, in fact I left it out and they snuck a bar in their room and ate it.    

here is a video of my kids first reactions

3 Musketeers are available at retailers nationwide for 79 cents

HannahMontanaMileySaysGoodbyeDVD.jpg

Synopsis:Be the first to see the entire groundbreaking premiere of the pivotal Hanna Montana Season Three Finale! In Miley Says Goodbye? watch as Miley struggles with her biggest decision yet! Will she leave her rock-star life in Malibu to return home to her Tennessee roots to be with her favorite horse, Blue Jeans?  The finale Miley decides she needs to start controlling her own life.

Bonus Material:

  • He could be the one alternate ending
  • Hannah’s Highlights: You never give me my money
  • Sister secrets-Miley’s real-life sister reveals another side of Miley

****This is not the end of Hannah Montana, there is still one season left. So of course from that you can figure she doesn’t go to Tennessee. The episode was kind of a disappointment to me. There was no mention of Hannah Montana that I can recall, and the whole episode was just sappy, no funny parts. Well except for Jackson who decides to move out on his own, and moves into an apartment that keeps falling apart.  Miley brings her horse to California thinking that would make her feel better, which it doesn’t. Then she decides she wants to move back to Tennessee, which makes all her friends sad. Since Lilly just moved in with her she is glad she still has Oliver, but he is going on tour with a band for 6 months. In the end, her dad buys a ranch in Ca., so they can stay.

****I just received this movie and I’ve watched it 3 times already. This is a really good movie, and my kids loved it. It’s kind of like the thirteenth year. Barbie is half human and half mermaid. Her Mother gives her to her grandfather when she is a baby.

Leapfrog Math Adventure To The Moon Review

Join Tad and Lilly as they blast off on an exciting educational adventure! Tad and Lilly need a collection of things to take to school for their math assignment. They decide to get moon rocks, but have to figure out how to get them. With some magical help from their firefly friend Edison, they board a rocket ship to start their quest. Soon the twins learn math is everywhere, even in outerspace!Watch as they use their skills in counting, sorting, skip counting and recognizing patterns to overcome obstacles, find new friends, and make the trip back to earth.

Special features:

  • The sorting game
  • Four sing a long songs
  • Alphabet song from lets go to school

Here are some math tips you can try:

  1. Next time you’re in a waiting room with your child, scan the room (or the magazines on the tables) for evidence of “math.”  Advise your child to find as much math as possible, and you can give clues if you need to.  Numbers, patterns, shapes, categories, and measuring devices (e.g., ruler, scales), are just a few examples of some of the math you might see all around you!
  2.   Make patterns using standard household objects.  For example line up repeated objects–sock, stuffed animal, sock, stuffed animal, and so on.   Next, ask your child to continue the pattern to figure out the “secret code.”  You can vary the difficulty of the pattern to suit your child’s ability–banana, banana, pear, banana, banana, pear.  You can also make deliberate errors that your child needs to find–pear, apple, banana, pear, apple, banana, pear, pear, banana.
  3. Take a deck of cards, and discuss with your child all the ways you can sort the cards.  They can be sorted by color (red versus black), suit (spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs), numbers (2’s, 3’s, etc.), royalty versus numbers (jacks, queens, and kings versus the numbers), odd versus even numbers, etc.  Sky is the limit!  You can play the sorting game with many collections of things around the house, such as socks and building  blocks.  


    ****This movie is fun and a great learning adventure for the kids. All about math and numbers. My children really got into it. My 4-year-old even told me she learned about even numbers and proceeded to say 2,4,6,8,10 etc. This is great learning tool for preschoolers to get interested in math.
