 *****This movie started out like any army type movie but them got a little more interesting than those types of movies. It is a great movie and has a very strong meaning behind it, but I wouldn’t say its the best movie ever. Just my opinion.  This was my first time seeing this movie and I thought it was not going to be appropriate for kids, and it is. There is a little bit of foul language and fighting scenes but nothing to bad.

Earth day was a great day to release this movie. Scientist, mainly ones who work for big name companies have money to build and take whatever they want. Which was the role of the scientist in the movie. The Na’ Vi of course love nature and will go to great lengths to protect it. I want to be able to share the natural beauty of the earth with my children and teach them how to preserve it.    I think that a lot of people don’t know just how beautiful the rainforest(Pandora) is until you see it first hand.

GREENZYS, a new eco-friendly literary-based children’s brand that is environmentally safe, fun and educational. Greenzys which encompasses books, plush toys, animated content and an interactive website, will be available solely at FAO Schwarz Fifth Avenue and online at www.FAO.com throughout the month and will also be featured in the store’s window displays.

Greeznys characters include Peat the Penguin, an ardent supporter of recycling, reusing and reducing waste; Yew Yew the Panda, who grows bamboo to prevent erosion and create oxygen; Willow the Elephant, who collects rainwater for her plants and uses her trunk as a water hose; and Violet the Giraffe, the ecological genius who teaches the GREENZYS how to reduce their carbon paw print in an effort to protect the environment.

For every Plush animal purchased a tree will be planted in your child’s name by the Arbor foundation, and you can even print a certificate for them.  The Plush animals and book are both made from eco-friendly material, and a portion of every purchase will go to the environmental Media Association.

**** I received Yew Yew the panda and a book. I have to say that the book really explains how littering and being wasteful can hurt the enviroment. My children actually understood what the story was saying, and how to help the enviroment. The story is about a old tree who is dying because of the polluted river flowing next to her. She has one pinecone and a slimy creature comes and takes it away, which gives no chance of the trees survival. The tree reaches it branches out and bring back animal friends who all become Greenzys. The track down the creature who stole the pinecone, while cleaning the Earth. The Tree thrives once again, and the Greenzys even help plant her seeds.

Retail: Greenzys book is $17.99, and plush toys are $29.99 at www.fao.com

 available in April

Disclosure: I did not receive any compensation for this post, a product was provided by the company, as well as a tree planted in my name.

As a mom of 3 kids all under the age of 6, it’s hard to find time to myself. It’s very important to be happy and healthy no matter how busy you are, so I thought I’d share some of my tips.

1. Exercise-It relieves stress, gives you more confidence and gives you energy.
2. eating right-makes you stronger and healthier.
3. Take a relaxing hot bath-When the kids are asleep relax in the bath
4. Go for a walk- get some fresh air, and good exercise
5. Taking a break-it’s good to have a haour to myself to go shopping or take a nap.
6. Spending time with my kids-yes they can be a handful, but they are my world and I would love to be able to spend more quality time with them.
7. Spending more time with my hubby- how can I be happy without my wonderful husband he is my best friend and I would happier if we had more time for each other.
8. blogging-it is bad to spend so much time on the computer, but great to know that I have people that can relate to what I am going through as a mother.
9. love-enough said, love makes you happy
10. Breakfast-it’s the most important meal of the day and gives you your strength and a nice glass of OJ.

The two form a special bond and Carrie opens her heart to her father and a handsome, local boy, but when a jealous rival puts Flicka’s life in jeopardy, Carrie must do whatever it takes to save her best friend.
