If you are a Star Wars fan then this post is for you. We have some spoilers below, so turn away if you haven't seen Rogue One yet (But really, who hasn't!?) Last weekend we had an epic Twitter battle between The Empire and The Rebel Alliance. I was on The Empire team and had fun joining the dark side. We watched the movie on our Roku Stick after loading the movie code onto our Disney Movies Anywhere (DMA) account. If you haven't used DMA and you ...

Early Learning with Unlikely Tools
When my oldest daughter started pre-k, I thought it was my job to teach her all about her letters. Her teachers insisted I leave the learning to them, but I soon learned that common core in a Montessori pre-k class meant they don't rigidly teach the alphabet or letter sounds. She caught up in kindergarten, but I was left a little disenchanted by what the school felt was developmentally appropriate and what wasn’t. Just for reference, in place of ...
A Huge Kitchen Appliance Sale at BestBuy featuring LG!
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free I'm quickly learning that home ownership is a constant work in progress. We purchased our home almost 4 years ago and thought we were done with everything once our summer kitchen was updated. I didn't update the refrigerator in the summer kitchen and brought it with us when we moved from our previous ...
Fostering the Abilities of a Creative Child
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Wipeout Dry Erase Productive Gear. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. My creative 7 year old is always on the search for the impossible- accessories with her own flare. She's a mix of a gamer chick and a princess. She's athletic and strong willed, and not easily satisfied if she doesn't find things she likes. Almost everything she owns is artsy and ...
Disney’s Moana is now available to own!
My little girls are quickly learning that while princesses seem to have the life, paving your own way is more fulfilling. While watching Disney's Moana in the movie theater on Christmas Eve, I knew instantly it would be their new favorite movie because my girls have been obsessed with anything Polynesian since Lilo and Stitch. I love the powerful message, they love the music, and overall it's a great movie for everyone in the ...
Enter to Win the first ever PJ Masks DVD!
PJ Masks is kind of a big deal in our house. All 3 of my kids ranging in ages from 1-7 love watching this show. PJ Masks is not only engaging, but also teaches kids to stand up for themselves and their friends, while also learning to not be the bully. In our ever changing world, this is such an important message to get across to children, and often the hardest one to teach. In the new release, it’s up to Catboy, the real parade leader, to save ...
The Teletubbies are back to celebrate two decades of belly laughs! #TeletubbiesUSA
I am a Teletubbies Blogger Ambassador. This post is part of a sponsored campaign. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Can you believe Teletubbies debuted 20 years ago!? I remember watching it with my friend's little brother, and then when my first daughter first got into Teletubbies. It seems there were one of those shows that kids loved throughout the years, and now Teletubbies has been ...
On the go fun with Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World for Nintendo 3DS
We received this game as part of the Nintendo Kid Reviewer Program I finally had some time to wrestle the Nintendo 3DS away from my daughter's hands so I can check out Yoshi's Woolly World featuring Poochy. Yes, I should have been cleaning dishes, picking up crayons from the floor, or perhaps preparing a meal, but even mama needs a time out and what better way to unwind than with a Nintendo game and warm coffee!? Before I go into the 3DS ...
