Koala Kid REVIEW and {G!VEAWAY}

We enjoy family movie nights almost every Saturday night. We were all very excited to watch a new movie last Saturday together that has recently come out on DVD as of April 30th, 2013. First off, the voices by Rob Schneider, Norm MacDonald (a Canadian actor, yay!), Tim Curry and Alan Cumming were very well done. The accents of the animals were simply adorable and fun! As a parent, I always like to see movies that have a message on top of being entertaining. This movie certainly does have a positive message that is to accept the things about you … Continue reading

Our Home is Getting Older and So Are Our Appliances

We bought our house in the fall of 2003, a few months after we got married. I still remember the sheer excitement when I realized that yet another dream had come true, my husband and I had purchased our first home. Our home was only a few years old when we bought it so everything was in great condition. The furnace, air conditioner, washer and dryer and kitchen appliances were all in good condition, so I was pretty confident that we wouldn’t have to pay for any appliance repair for quite some time. In 2006 our washing machine broke, but … Continue reading

Little Star Wars Fans: May the 4th Be With You Tomorrow! {Free #Printables for Preschoolers}

I will admit that until I met my hubby, I didn’t know a whole lot about Star Wars, but now, I am happy to share that I have seen all of the movies, played with the toys and read a few books. I had no idea about May 4th until last year, I really wasn’t involved in the Star Wars “world” too much other than when hubby would ask if I wanted to watch one of the movies with him or if my son asked me to play with his Star Wars figures. The Star Wars Community is hard core! … Continue reading

My Hands are Smooth Thanks to Hand Cream from @LiveClean

Live Clean Hand Creams are: Designed to moisturize and protect your hands. Silicone, mineral oil and petroleum free. Non-greasy due to the addition of Rice Bran Oil .
