This book is great.  My 7-year-old loved it.  We’ve read it a hundred times.  He loves the story.  You will too, I’m sure! Dexter ,and Jack, are going on vacation, and the way they are going, neither one was prepared for.  It’s a great book, by a great writer.  I really enjoy every time we read it.  It reminds me of my first trip, and Jacob will be taking his, this Summer, so it’s great for him to read. Vacation For Dexter! is a great book for kids of all ages.  Jacob really digs Dexter.  He loves that Dexter can get Jack through his trip.  He also loves how Dexter was nervous, then fought back his nerves, to make Jack feel better. This book is remarkable in every way.  You really have to read it, and one fan will have a chance to win all three books in the Dexter series.  Make sure you book mark this page to see how. “Ladies and Gentlemen, please direct your attention to the flight attendants as we review the safety features of this aircraft before takeoff.” If you are going on Vacation, this Summer, this book is for your child.  Everyone’s child should…

***“Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.”*** When I was growing up, I loved reading Nancy Drew books.  I’d check one out, in the school library, every library day.  Now, for WB to make a movie, that’s special to me.  My 7 year old, and I, sat down to watch Nancy Drew And The Hidden Staircase just last night.  It was intriguing.  I loved it, and so did he.  “Mystery…has met its match” in this movie.  I can’t wait to watch it again!   The Blu-Ray, DVD & Digital can be found at any store now.  Nancy Drew was released yesterday.  Make sure you go buy yours soon.  You don’t want to miss this.  And, I know the women, who were into Nancy Drew growing up, will love this movie.   Here’s the summary: The iconic mystery solving teenager from the classic Nancy Drew books is back with an all-new feature length film that will keep you guessing until the very end! Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release Nancy Drew And The Hidden Staircase on Digital starting March 26, 2019 and…

I love the look of the new items for Summer, from Thirty-One.  They are fantastic, and my wife is going nuts.  My daughter, age 21, and wife, are fighting over who gets what from Thirty-One.  They want the same bags, but if they get the same tote, they will fight over which one is whose. Let’s talk about Easter for a few.  They have the cutest Easter Basket.  I got it for my 7 year-old.  He’s going to love it.  He will be able to carry it around, with his Easter Hunt Eggs.  And, the Easter Bunny will be filling it, as well. Now, who’s going to the beach this summer?  There’s some wonderful totes, and thermal totes, for you.  The designs are so spectacular.  Thirty-One outdid themselves with these. The Fresh Market Thermal is perfect for the vehicle, if you are taking a trip.  Or, even on the beach/park, because the bag is thermal.  You can keep items cold for hours.  It has the capacity to hold two 9X13 pans.  That’s huge!  I love the colors in the Ombre Stripe!  Take a look at all the different choices. There’s also the Essential Storage Tote.  There’s a lot of room…
