by 56 Comments

When I was growing up, I remember LOVING Pete’s Dragon. It was like watching a movie and a cartoon at the same time. This month Disney released Pete’s Dragon 35th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray. This Disney film is available for the first time in high definition. Since I love Disney movies and I collect Blu-ray movies, know that I have happily added this one to my movie collection. I remember trying to get my kids to watch the original Pete’s Dragon and they thought it was an old movie. Now that it has been digitally remastered, it is now a movie that they wanted to see!

Take a peek my our favorite scene of this movie:

Seat Pets Airheart Review & Giveaway

by 72 Comments

When I am driving and especially on road trips, I always worry about my kid’s little necks when they fall asleep. I am always afraid they are going to wake up with a sore neck and I always wish I had a pillow for them. In the past I have pulled over and used my jacket as a pillow because I worry about my children.

I recently received a product called Seat Pets for review that I think is really clever. The Seat Pets are cute stuffed animals that attach to the seat belt to provide your child with comfort and support for their neck and head when they fall sleep.

Now when my son falls asleep in the car, he has his Airheart Seat Pet that becomes the perfect pillow.

Not only do they provide a fun pillow for your child, they also have secret little pockets to keep your children’s favorite little toys or snacks. The Seat Pets are only $19.99. When you buy more than one, they will lower the prize. These would make great gifts for the holidays.

The Seat Pets currently are available in the 3 characters below:

Take a peek at this video to find out more information about the Seat Pets:

 

I LOVE that you can de-tach the Seat Pet so your child can also use it as a stuffed animal toy as well. Multi-purpose toys always make me smile!

Dinosaur Train’s Buddy Halloween Costume & Book Review

by 18 Comments

My son is 4 and he is at the age where he LOVES dinosaurs. Last year he was a green dinosaur and this year he is dressing up as Buddy from the Dinosaur Train. My son LOVES this show and there is a lot of days where the Dinosaur Train Song for the show is stuck in my head while I am trying to write a post.

For those of you with Dinosaur Train fans at home, checkout these two CUTE costumes for the characters Buddy and Tiny that are available from California Costume Collections.

Here is a picture of my son wearing the costume…

When I took the Buddy costume out of the package my son asked if he could try it on. I told him only if he let me take some pictures. After taking the pictures, he didn’t want to take it off. He has asked me several times since if he could wear it, but I want to make sure it is nice and clean before Halloween. The costume is made of a soft fabric.

The costume is also really bright orange and very colorful.

Can you imagine what my neighbors thought when they seen this running around in my yard…

When I put him in the costume I didn’t even realize that it had the shoe covers in the bag. So if you buy the costume, you will also receive a pair of orange shoe covers too that look like dino feet! If you choose to go with Tiny from the Dinosaur Train, the costume includes the green colored Pteranodon jumpsuit pictured above, Tiny the dinosaur hood, and green shoe covers.

The Dinosaur Train Buddy and Tiny costumes are currently available at various retail locations and online stores across the U.S.  Visit: https://californiacostumes.com/locations

If you are feeling a little crafty, you can also make a Dinosaur Train Buddy Costume at home. Take a peek at this video:

 
A little something for my bookworms…

Here is a little spooky fun! If you have a little one that likes books they might just want a copy of The Spooky Scavenger Hunt from Penguin Young Readers Group in which Mr. Pteranodon takes Buddy and Tiny on a nighttime trip to the Big Pond for a spooky nature walk! Mr. Pteranodon and the conductor insist they can’t be scared, but when the conductor’s mom jumps out at them, everyone gets a good scare!

If you are looking for a spooky Halloween read for your child, this might be a great story to end the fun night. This book is recommended for those children ages 4 – 8; SRP $3.99.

There are also Halloween themed episodes from Dinosaur Train to air on PBS Kids® too!

by 24 Comments

When it come to gift giving, I love to give gifts that are personalized. I also love to receive things that are personalized too! One of my favorite sites to find all sorts of things that you can personalize for yourself or give as a gift someone else is Personal Creations. I have a few things in my home that I have had made personalized with our family names that are some of my favorite items around the house.

I thought it makes a great addition to my kitchen. I am a fan of stainless steel and it totally matches with my stainless still mixer on my counter. I think the name on it gives it the perfect personal touch!

In my kitchen, I have my favorite cookie jar that I created from Personal Creations earlier this with my children’s names on it. After I made it, I thought I should have added Mom and Dad on the empty flowers, but I still LOVE it and have gotten compliments when guests have seen it.

These are just a few of the products that you can order from Personal Creations that you can personalize. There are hundreds of different products if not thousands that you can order from their website.

A Couple Of Movies To Add To Your Blu-Ray Collection

by 15 Comments

Every since I got my Blu-ray player a couple years ago, I prefer to collect the Blu-ray movies over the traditional DVDs. This month I have added two movies to my collection that I recommend you see too!

The first movie I recommend adding is People Like Us. I wanted to see this in the theater but didn’t never get a chance. I have a copy of People Like Us on Blu-ray and watched it last weekend. For those that like the drama movies that have inspiration, you will definitely want to watch too!

People Like Us is a great  but emotional movie that is inspired by true life events about Sam, a young and  fast-talking salesman whose latest deal collapses the day he learns of his father’s sudden death.  Sam is then called home to put his father’s estate in order where he finds out about an estranged sister and nephew that he never knew existed. His life then turns upside down as he tries to get to know a family he barely knows.

Take a peek at the People Like Us video clip below:

 
The second movie that I recommend adding to your Blu-ray collection is one of my FAVORITE movies growing up, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. I don’t know about you, but I was excited to find out that this was coming out on Blu-ray and couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy.
This movie originally premiered back in in 1982 when I was only 6 years old and it definitely captured the imaginations of people of all ages. When E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial came out in theaters, it became one the biggest blockbusters of the year and was ranked the #1 movie for over 16 different weekends. I loved the movie so much that I used to have E.T stuffed animals and toys and know I probably have seen this movie at least a few dozen times if not more. I also remember trying to imitate the voice of E.T. when I was young. 🙂

This month, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial celebrated its 30th Anniversary with its first-ever release on Blu-ray™ released on October 9, 2012. The new Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Combo pack includes the originally 1982 theatrical movie,  an all-new interview with director Steven Spielberg, and “The E.T. Journals”  that feature never-before-seen footage from the set of the film. As an extra bonus, this Blu-ray™ Combo Pack also includes UltraViolet™, a DVD and a Digital Copy of the film, offering fans a chance to relive the mystery, laughter and wonder of the iconic movie anytime, anywhere on the platform of their choice.

Right now you can buy E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Anniversary Edition Combo Pack on sale at Amazon for only $19.99.
