I love the story, “Spiky“.  It’s so true, in today’s world.  Some people can be so ugly, on the inside, but you can turn beautiful.  My daughter, age 22, can’t wait to take Spiky to work, to read to the kids that she teaches.  She is studying to become a teacher, and in her last year of college, she is already teaching.  She loves this story, almost as much as I do.  Anyone can change, and this book is a perfect example.  It’s great to teach your child that ugly souls can become beautiful ones.  I used to have an ugly soul, but now my soul has turned beautiful, in my opinion. Ilaria Guarducci  is a magnificent writer, who got this book, “Spiky”, 100% on track for today’s world.  I really love the story line, and you will have a chance to win this book, coming up.  But, you can also purchase it, at the link above or below, if you want to make sure to get a copy.  She has written 7 children’s books, and I hope to be able to purchase each and every one, for my daughter’s classroom.  That would be a great addition. Laura Watkinson is an…

Dumbo has always been on of my favorite movies, and now my 8 year old watches it with me.  He’s not a big “movie” fan, and is usually playing Fortnite, but now he is interested in Dumbo.  This is truly a great “Family” film.  My 22 year old, daughter sat down and watched it with my son & me. This truly is a great film.  Tim Burton & Disney did it again.  They are setting the score high for their next film!  I loved watching Dumbo over and over, but I always have. Check out the below for an Animal Cracker recipe, and how to juggle. These two things come in handy every time we watch Dumbo.  The kids love the Sprinkled Animal Crackers, and trying to Juggle.  These two things have brought us a lot of entertainment, and joy.  And, watching Dumbo is an added bonus. You’ll be able to pick up the Blu ray, DVD & Digital copy starting June 25, anywhere these items are sold.  Don’t wait, get there early, they will sell out. With the Blu ray, there are bonus extras: Deleted Scenes Easter Eggs on Parade Clowning Around Bloopers Behind the scense look at the…

You can already enjoy Cinderella on Digital, as of Tuesday, June 18.  But, if you want it on Blu-Ray, or DVD, it’ll be available this coming Tuesday, June 25. This is amazing.  One of my all time favorite Disney Princesses, coming to Blu-Ray, with over 2 hours of bonus footage.  I am in aww.  I have loved Cinderella since a very young age.  Thie is an iconic film, with lots of love by many generations.  My daughter, who is 22, loves Cinderella as well.  We just sat down and watched it the other night.   Cinderella is a story about a young lady, who is taken advantage of by the Step’s- in her life.  She has a fairy godmother, who puffs in a beautiful gown, and sends her to the ball, where her step-sisters are already creeping on the prince.  But, guess what?  In the end, Cinderella shows them.   This is a must watch for the entire family.  My 8 year old, son, was even intrigued.  Which, he hardly sits and watches anything for too long.  That is starting to change since he turned 8, but I think he wanted to be the prince. You can purchase Cinderella, starting…

I have a friend that is getting ready to have a baby.   They are being induced on June 27.  So, as you can imagine, this is a busy time for her.  That’s why I turned to Baby Magic, to help her bring the baby into the world.  Baby Magic is a wonderful company, that has all the baby’s basic needs covered.  From lotion to wipes, and even Hydrogel Patches.  This is amazing!  I remember, 8 years ago, having my little guy, and using Baby Magic, too. I love this Hydrogel Patch.  It’s great for fevers & overheating, sunburn, discomfort, and even dry skin.  They will love this patch, as new parents.  It’ll bring comfort to their little bundle of joy, which will in turn, be comforting to the parents. I also love the 3 in 1 wipes.  They have a combination of Chamomile, aloe and vitamin E.  There’s 72 wipes in the container, which will make changing easy.  They are also free from fragrance, alcohol, dyes, SLS, oils, parabens, and phthalates.  These are truly sent from above. Their lotions, and baby wash are a gift too.  We used them all the time, with Jacob, and occasionally still do, especially over summer break,…

I don’t often admit this, but I’ve had halitosis since I was a kid.  People used to make fun of me all the time.  I’d brush my teeth 3, maybe 4, times a day; but nothing helped.  The Honest Hemp Company has changed that for me.  My breath is so fresh when I use this CBD Nano spray.  And, I love the way I feel afterwards.  I don’t feel a high, but I feel a weight lifted off my chest.  I do suffer from bipolar, depression, and anxiety disorders, so this has been a big help for me. Features ethanol, glycol, natural peppermint, and 160mg of premium US-grown, water-soluble hemp CBD extract.  This product would be great, even without bad breath.  You would just get the splash of cool, before feeling relief from anxiety.  It’s not a miracle worker, but it’s enough to feel relaxed, a bit.  It’s a great feeling, to not worry all the time. The Super Breath Blast is even known to kill the “meanest of hangovers” in as little as 5 minutes.  That’s so great to hear! *Honest Hemp* is a wellness company based in Boulder, Colorado and Los Angeles, California.  Our products are a natural alternative for…

I’ve recently come across a great product called Pura d’or.  I have thinning hair, and they have a formula for me.  It works magnificently.  Thinning hair used to be a problem, but not any more.  And, it’s inexpensive, especially if you get the monthly subscription. There are many formulas, of shampoos & conditioners, but the thinning hair formula is the right one for me, and I’m completely sold on this product.  Pura d’or has made me feel young again, hair wise.  I can’t get over how well it really works. Pura d’or Hair Thinning Therapy System is really great.  It works for all types of hair, at any time of the day.  My husband has been using it for about 3 weeks, and he loves it too, because he also has thinning hair.  I’ve gone to Target recently, and picked up another supply of Pura d’or, so we will have it, when our current bottles run out.  This is a truly great product, and can be bought locally, which is really cool. For the Hair Thinning Therapy System, here’s it’s description: Get to the Root of the Problem. It all starts with a healthy scalp. This invigorating blend of organic extracts…

We love Welch’s Fruit Snacks, in our family.  My 8 year old would take them, everyday, to school.  Now, my 22 year old, takes them everyday to work & school.  She’s teaching this Summer, so this is a great snack for her during lunch.  She loves them, as much as my 8 year old does.  We have been a fan of Welch’s for many years. Have you tried the Blueberry Fruit N Yogurt Snacks?  They are absolutely delightful.  So delicious, and in just a small snack.  They also come in Strawberry, and Cherry.  These make a great mid-day snack for anyone.  I snack on them, myself, and love them.  I can’t get enough.  I’ve been buying them constantly.  I do limit myself to one pack a day, so they will last a little longer.  I also have 8 year old fingers grabbing them up too. We are having a huge family cookout for the 4th of July, and this is a perfect snack to put out for the kids.  They will love them.  I can’t wait to share them with everyone. Welch’s Fruit Snacks come in 10 varieties.  You really have to try any of them, and you will be…
