My Little Pony The Movie
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , kids , Movies , Reviews / December 22, 2017

I received the My Little Pony Movie last night.  And, though I have a 6 year old, boy, he sat down and watched it.  He loved it.  I can’t believe how cute it was.  Like the box says, “Discover a different breed of hero”. This cartoon has an all star voice over.  Including:  Emily Blunt, Kristin Chenoweth, Michael Pena, and more! The story is truly cute.  They make new friends along the way, and have exciting challenges to complete. Right now, it’s available on Digital, and on January 9, it’ll be available on Blu-ray/DVD. When a dark force threatens Ponyville, the Mane 6 go on a journey beyond Equestria to save their beloved home and they meet new friends and exciting challenges along the way.   Directed by “My Little Pony” veteran Jayson Thiessen (“My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic”) and including original music and songs performed by Sia, Taye Diggs, Zoe Saldana, Kristin Chenoweth, and Emily Blunt, My Little Pony: The Movie is full of music, fun, and laughter for the whole family. The My Little Pony: The Movie Blu-ray and DVD include all-new special features, including a deleted scene, a music video, three featurettes starring the Mane 6,…

Tangled: Queen For A Day
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , kids , Reviews / December 16, 2017

Tangled:  Queen For A Day would be a great DVD for that special little girl, in your life.  Tangled is one of my favorite Disney movies, so when I found out about this DVD, I had to get it.  I watched it with my 6 year old, son, and he really enjoyed it as well.  There’s really nothing that says boys can’t watch too!  It really has a great story line, for the little ones.  And, it’s a series, so there is more to come.   Tangled: Queen For A Day will keep your child quiet, for a short period of time.  Not saying TV is a babysitter, but if you are going to watch too, be able to watch uninterrupted. This would be a great added Christmas gift, this year.   When King Frederic and Queen Arianna go out of town to celebrate their anniversary, Rapunzel becomes QUEEN FOR A DAY! It may be her first turn as a leader, but Rapunzel is confident ’cause she’s got this! However, when a terrible blizzard threatens Corona and her parents, the Princess is faced with some gut-wrenching decisions! Can Rapunzel and her friends save the day? Bursting with action, music and…

HydraLight is an amazing Flashlight/Lantern
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , Reviews / December 16, 2017

I love HydraLight!  I couldn’t wait to try it out, so I immediately opened it, and started figuring out what to do.  It was easy.  You unwrap the power source, and dip it in water for 7 – 10 seconds  (that was easy!), then you take and vigorously shake the power source (to get the excess water off of it), and insert back into the Flashlight/Lantern.  Next step is easy, you Power On.  This Lantern will make so many things, in life, easier. I showed the HydraLight to Joe, my husband, and he was amazed at how bright this light truly is.  He said “this flashlight, and Lantern, will be a lifesaver in the future.”  I agreed.  If we get a flat tire, at night, this Lantern will make it easy for him to change the tire.  Especially, if it’s when he is on his way to work at 5:30 in the morning!  He’ll be able to set the Lantern down, and work hands free, in the dark.

Ducktales Woo-oo on DVD
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , Disney / December 15, 2017

Ducktales was a favorite of mine, growing up.  Now, I can share the first season, of the series, with my 6 year old, son.  He loves it.  We watched last night, for the first time, but not the last.  He’s already asked to watch again, this morning.  If it wasn’t for getting him ready to go to school, I’d have already turned it back on.  Jacob says Huey, Dewey, and Louie are his favorite cartoon characters.  Ducktales Woo-oo is great for any age.   Ducktales Woo-oo is a great cartoon, and we love it.  You should order it, for Christmas!  Your child, or husband, will love it too, as will you.

Vibes Audio for Someone You Love
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , Reviews / December 13, 2017

Vibes Audio is super amazing.   My mother in law loves the new case she has, and the super fast charger that hooks onto the back.  There’s also a speaker, for her to listen to her music, a little louder.  She’s hard of hearing, so this is perfect for her.  My father in law has a second case, but she’s not letting him use the accessories.  Just kidding, they share them.  And, both love them.   The cases work for all iPhones starting at 6, or Samsung Galaxy starting at 7.  These products are top quality.  The video explains it all.  You can even guarantee that Vibes Audio is waterproof.  It’s so great to have this new system, for an older couple.  They couldn’t hear their music through the phone speaker, and they love their music.  Now, with this system, they are all set.  They’ve really enjoyed having this system. You can imagine how easy it is to connect this system.  It took my mother in law about 2 minutes, and it usually takes her longer to do things. You can order easily, by clicking on the link above, or below, and pick your phone. You can read about the company here….

Despicable Me 3 is on Bluray and DVD

I love the Despicable Me movies, and Despicable Me 3 did not disappoint.  It’s so cute.  The story line is perfect. My 6 year old sat through the entire movie, and he just loves those Minions.  You will love this movie too.  It cracks me up, and is just so worth the time.  I don’t watch movies often, so when I can sit through an entire movie, it’s a good thing.  I sat through Despicable Me 3, and laughed my butt off, with my son.

Clean up before, and after, the Holidays with Mean Green
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , Reviews / December 12, 2017

My mother in law is preparing for the Holidays, and company, with Mean Green.  She loves Means Green.  She has been wiping down her white cabinets, to make them shine, like they are new.   She was using a leading brand, but when I gave her Mean Green, she started using it. The picture doesn’t even show how shiny they are, but I wanted you to see the difference in the dingy door, from the clean door.  You can see how clean it came, and it only took a little bit of elbow, and a little bit of Mean Green.  The lighting wasn’t that great, but you can surely tell which one is clean. Mean Green is our new go to for all of our messes.  We even use it in the washer.  To degrease my husband’s work clothes, I use a little, sprayed on, and wash them.  They come clean every time.  You wouldn’t believe all the things my husband gets on his clothes, but with Mean Green every stain comes out. After the Holidays, don’t forget to use Mean Green to clean up your mess, as well.  You will be definitely delighted by how well it works. PERFORMANCE STUDIES…

Package From Santa will make your child believe
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , kids , Reviews / December 11, 2017

Jacob, my 6 year old, received a Package from Santa the other day.  He just adores it!  He loves Mrs. Claus’ Cookie, and the Reindeer feed, the most.  He also loved his video, that is personalized for him. You can get this wonderful package for your little one, and they will believe like they never have before.  It’s even post marked from the North Pole, and Santa Claus, himself.  There was a good list certificate, and a letter from Santa, as well as a ton of other goodies.  This box is not expensive, and will be a lasting treasure to your child. We haven’t received our call from Santa yet.  I scheduled it for our convenience, for Christmas Eve.  That way before Jacob goes to bed, Santa will be calling.  This will be just an added plus!  The video is really cute, but you only have 1 day left to order that video.  You have to get it for your child, it is sincerely the cutest thing ever.  While Santa is super busy this time of year, he has Elfred the Elf put your child on either the Naughty list or Nice list.  You even get to say why they…
