Never watch a mediocre movie again

I love family movie night. In our family, it’s me, the Mister, and my little girl who will be three in July. A toddler makes a family night out a little more challenging… She wants to climb over the table and dump the salt shaker onto the heads of the customers at the next table if we go to a restaurant. She has a hard time staying quiet or in one place in a big movie theater. She loves to dance – but I don’t think a nightclub is quite our style, lol. So, making special movie nights at home is one of our regular weekend rituals!

Do Your Kids Want to Be Race Car Drivers?

“If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough.” – Mario Andretti…. We’re a racing family in here in my house. I have so many great memories of going to the races with my dad at our local speedway when I was a little girl. My uncle drove a race car there for years too. And now, my Mister has been driving race cars there too for years. One of his best friends even got a job recently over in North Carolina, working for some big-time racers. So I was super excited to give Abby a surprise present recently – the Mega Bloks® Whirl ‘n Twirl™ Race Car!! Check it out….

A Trip Through Oz – Cosmetics, Casinos, and Bubbles!

“Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly….” – Am I the only one who can’t even just read those words – I sing them in my head. The Wizard of Oz was one of my absolute favorite movies as a little girl – and it’s still, to this day, one of my all time most loved films. I’ve watched it so many times, I practically have it memorized. I read the books growing up too – {The Emerald City of Oz was my favorite.} And I love that my little girl is now a fan of the movie too! So of course, you know that I am crazy-excited for the new imagining of Oz to come out. I’ve been dying waiting for this, for months now. Which is why I get even more excited each time they release a new clip of the movie! Check out this newest one…

Momma Wants a Truck for Christmas…

Piles of presents to put away, boxes of old toys to haul away, and tons of winter snow IN your way – Yep, it’s Christmas time! And you know what? One thing that this momma wants this year – even if it’s an after-Christmas family gift – is a new truck. Many people think of trucks as a “guy thing” – but I’ve got a lot of gear to haul around too! And in a truck like the Toyota Tundra, I can get sweet safety features, and cool options to make it a “fun” ride for the kiddos too. So who says a truck can’t be a family car, right?
