February 6, 2011 by 8 Comments
Did you know that Dinosaur Train is now making Pajamas? These adorable little footed PJ’s are now available at Kohls, and they are just too cute! Super soft, these adorable one-piece pajamas are sure to please any fan of the popular educational PBS series. (Did you see the latest episode, “The Good Mom;” “Diamond Anniversary,”? How cute was that?) It is one of Little Man’s favorite shows, and when he saw the Dinosaur Train fantastic footed pajamas, he about lost this mind! He had to try them on no, Now, NOW!!! So, we put them on right away. They were a little big on him- he was tripping on the feet- so he slept with it like an extra blankie, LOL. The next day, I had [Read more…]

Guest Post and a Contest

VALENTINE’S DAY IS ALMOST HERE
For some that might be exciting news others perhaps less so. It all just depends. Time to pull out your favorite romantic movies or maybe a V-Day slasher film. It all just depends on your mood. If you like to read here is an alternative. An anthology of Romantic Comedies for the Holiday, Cupid Gone Wild. – We are giving away 3 copies here to commenters, and there are other goodies.
So the story has 5 Cupids charged with matching the most unlikely couple. A few arrows to get the hero and heroine past their reservations. Would that be helpful in real life? I like to think so. If there were some winged chubby guys floating around we could stop worrying that we walked right past our soul mate at the coffee shop. Or the man you debated approaching lost without the hit needed to tell you it was the right thing. The very best match around.
Dating is hard, discouraging even. If you are married maybe Cupid should be dropping in on you too. Maybe an added passion arrow, or thoughtful one right before the DH or BF goes shopping. Some help might be nice in the world of love. SO tell me – do you want arrows stepping in from above? True love with a shot? Or are we doing well down here on Earth without the help?
Comment and share your thoughts on the Holiday for a chance to Win and e-book copy of Cupid Gone Wild Anthology/
So my story – The Hollywood Hook Up – from Amazon [Read more…]

Disney’s Princess Wishes on Ice- my review
February 3, 2011 by 9 Comments
What a great, great show this was! Honestly, I didn’t think I would say it, but it is definitely as good as Toy Story 3 on Ice! It was really magical- and I know that is incredibly corny to say, but it was! LOL. I felt like a little kid. Feld Entertainment, the producers of Princess Wishes, did a fabulous job putting this show together. They used most of the Disney Princesses for the show, and added Tinkerbell, Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy for good measure!
The stories were a bit “cut up”, but they kind of have to be to fit for time. (Can you imagine trying to put 6 Princess Movies on ice? We would have been there all night!) They were very simplified versions of the kid’s favorite parts of the movies.
But by “very simplified” I only mean the plot was made more simple and short- I do NOT mean that she show was simple, at all! The show was spectacular! I am almost ready to go back again, LOL. It was amazing, and will not disappoint. Little Man was amazed! While your little Princess will certainly be enchanted- make no mistake, so will your little Prince! Who doesn’t love a dancing sea crew, or a sea captain (Prince Eric) who swings in from the rafters on a rope? That’s swashbuckling fun for anyone! Can I tell you- the sea crew men were doing flips- FLIPS!- all over the place! They had a platform, and they would climb onto it, and jump down onto a teeter-totter type board, flipping the man on the other end straight into the air! Once, they did this and caught him in a chair high above them all. It was nuts. Everyone (even the adults) were gasping and oohing and ahhing.
Tinkerbell, who appeared between acts and at the beginning of the show, was (energetic? enthusiastic?) completely spastic, LOL, as any good Tinkerbell should be. I must have been in quite “a mood”, because I found the whole thing really, really funny. It was cracking me up. There were so many little girls dressed up as Tinkerbell last night- I think Tink may have outnumbered [Read more…]
