Monster High Slo Mo Is Finally Available
For weeks I have been seeing people post about finding the newest toy addition to Monster High “Sloman Slo Mo Mortivach”. I first saw him at Comic Con last year, and was so excited for the new edition.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to find him in stores, most people have reported finding him at Walmarts.
He is finally available online for those who can’t find him in stores, at Toys R Us.
He is out of stock right now, but sign up for email alerts, as I am sure he will be in stock soon.
Go get him now at Toys R Us.
March is Peanut Butter Lovers Month #HormelFamily
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.
March is National Peanut month and National Peanut Butter Lovers month. It’s the perfect time to celebrate with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. On average a person will consume 6 pounds of peanut and peanut butter products a year.
There are so many different options to spice up your peanut butter now. My daughters new favorite sandwich is a chocolate peanut butter and jelly, or just the chocolate peanut butter sandwich.
Skippy Peanut Butter now offers Chocolate flavored peanut butter . Along with just making sandwiches, there are a variety of other great recipes to make with peanut butter. Some of my favorite are
Gooey Peanut Butter S’more brownies, PB &J Pitas and the Tic Tac Toe sandwhich. You can get these recipes and more at Skippy’s Recipes site.
What’s your favorite way to enjoy peanut butter.
Save Time In The Morning With Hormel Compleats #HormelFamily
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.
Our mornings are very hectic at home, specially on school mornings. I usually end up skipping breakfast and my kids usually just eat cereal since it is easy and quick. It gets kind of boring though day after day.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I introduced my kids to Hormel Completes breakfast and they loved it.
Hormel Compleats is now available for breakfast. Ready in just 60 seconds, select varieties of these convenient meals are made with real eggs and contain 17-21 grams of protein.
Varieties include:
- Bacon breakfast scramble
- Sausage breakfast scramble
- Sausage gravy and roasted potatoes
- Apple cinnamon oatmeal
** My kids liked the new Hormel Compleats, they said it tastes like it was just cooked. I love it because it’s so easy to use, just pop it in the microwave for 1 minute and you have breakfast.
What will you do with the extra time you’ll have in the morning, if breakfast is already made?

Monster High Frights Camera Action DVD Review
Disclosure: No formal compensation was received for this post. A product was provided by Mattel. All opinions are 100% my own.
Monster High Frights Camera Action is finally available on dvd. It’s the next big thing for Monster High.
When Draculaura is led to believe she’s the rightful heir to the vampire throne, she and her best ghoulfriends are whisked away to Transylvania for a royal coronation to die for. But they soon discover the hunt for the queen is not over yet. The Ghouls must locate an ancient artifact known as the Vampire’s Heart in order to discover the identity of the true Vampire Queen. It’s a fangtastic adventure that will lead them from the Tower of Londoom, to a haunted river boat in New Goreleans and finally to the glamorous boo-vie lots of Hauntlywood. Could this be the moment when Draculaura finally receives her vampire powers and discovers screams really can come true
Bonus features:
- Animated shorts
*** We are the big Monster High fans and couldn’t wait to see this movie. It is definitely worth buying. The movie starts out with all the Monster High friends watching a movie about the Vampire Queen. Draculaura is outraged that the movie is fabricated.
Draculaura and her Ghoul friends set out on a adventure to find the true Vampire Queen after it is revealed that she is not the true heir. They have a big adventure and meet a lot of new friends along the way, including Clawdia, Honey Swamp, and Viperene, and more.
I don’t want to spoil the movie so I’ll leave it at that.
As a fan, my daughters were pointing out every single ghoul they saw. Hoodude Voodude was a main character in this movie, which was so exciting. He is also included in a lot of the outtakes since he is so silly. We are just hoping he is released as a doll soon to stores.
There is also a preview of the fall release of Freaky Fusion!
Release date: March 25, 2014
Running Time: 1 hour 14 minutes
