8 DEGREES OF SEPARATION with the cast of MARGARET! Enjoy!

A ROUGH START TO OUR 4TH OF JULY

I just wanted to say that I hope all my readers had a safe and blessed holiday yesterday!  I personally had a bit of a rough spot since we had to bury one of our beloved puppies.  It was hard on the whole family and in the midst of all this, we could not find one of our other puppies.  After searching our whole backyard and under our house, we realized he must have gotten out of our backyard. 

So now our fingers are crossed that he just got out and will return home.  My son is really upset about it since it is his dog that is missing and I have to say I am extremely fond of him too.

I am also continuing my search for him by looking around the neighborhood.  Fingers are crossed that we can find him and nothing is wrong with him.  So please send up a prayer during your day that he returns home.

HOW the movie MARGARET (coming to dvd and blu-ray on July 10th) got its name!

MIRROR MIRROR blu-ray and dvd review

One of the world's most beloved fairy tales takes a hilarious turn in this fresh, exciting film starring Oscar Winner Julia Roberts. After she spends all her money, an evil enchantress queen (Roberts) schemes to marry a handsome, wealthy prince (The Social Network's Armie Hammer). There's just one problem - he's in love with a beautiful princess, Snow White (Lily Collins, The Blind Side). So, the sinister queen banishes Snow White from her own kingdom! Now, joined by seven rebellious dwarves, Snow White launches an epic battle of good vs. evil in this funny, magical movie that the whole family will love.

MY THOUGHTS

I am a huge fan of Julia Roberts and usually try to catch every movie she is in.  So when I saw the preview for this movie, I knew I wanted to see it.  I have to say I wondered how Julia Roberts would do as the bad guy.  I have to admit I was impressed by her.  She made a very funny evil queen!  My whole family enjoyed the movie even my son. My daughters especially loved the scene where the evil queen is getting a "beauty treatment".  Just check out the clip below...

This is just one of the funniest clips in the movie.  I have to say that I enjoyed the new take on the classic Snow White.  And to be honest I am not a huge fan of the original Snow White like my daughters are.  But this one I thoroughly enjoyed and have watched it more than once.  It has become another one of my Julia Roberts favorites now.

This movie is great for the whole family and has something for everyone from fighting dwarves to ballroom dancing.  So be sure to grab this movie for the whole famly today.  The movie is available where dvds are sold and online at Amazon.com.  You can purchase the blu-ray and dvd combo at Amazon.com for $ 24.96. 

So grab some popcorn and a copy of this movie and have a family movie night!

SHOW THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE HOW MUCH HE MEANS TO YOU WITH CHANNELLOCK GS-3T GIFT SET review and GIVEAWAY

With my family's hectic schedule and my fiancee's busy days, trying to plan a Father's Day celebration can be a bit tricky.  So yes, I did have to plan a special thing for him after Father's Day since 2 of my kids were with their dads.  Well, I decided that we could have a special day for him regardless of the date.  I mean after all why should it matter what day it is.  To help celebrate the day we gave him TOOLS.  I mean in my fiancee's case, you can NEVER go wrong with tools especially high-quality ones like Channellock.  I was lucky enough to get to review the GS-3T Gift Set featuring

 426 – 6.5" tongue & groove plier

420® – 9.5" tongue & groove plier

440® – 12" tongue & groove plier

16' tape

Now you can just imagine how excited my fiancee was when he received these pliers.  Funny thing was he actually needed them for an upcoming project and I had no idea.  Now that is lucky.  Also he needed another tape measure to put in his truck for work and luckily enough this set also comes with a free tape measure.  I really could not have planned it any better.  The set has already came in handy around the house while he has been working on our boat and other " honey do" jobs.

Channellock tools are extremely well crafted and are the perfect gift for the serious tool man like my fiancee.  You can purchase them at hardware stores and also online at Channellock for $ 48.96.  They are definitely worth the price since you could buy cheaper sets but in my experience you get what you pay for.  The cheaper tools we have bought have had to be replaced sooner than expected.  My dad owns Channellock tools and has had them for years and they have not been replaced yet to speak so I am sure my fiancee will get years and years of use out of these as well. 

Now I have some exciting news, I am hosting a giveaway for the same set shown above .  So be sure to enter below in the Rafflecopter form.

LEGO: NINJAGO MASTERS OF SPINJITSU dvd review

Masters of Spinjitzu: a new force to save the world! The world of Ninjago is in terrible danger. An army of skeletons has invaded from the underworld, under the command of the evil Lord Garmadon. Their goal: capture the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu, artifacts so powerful it is said no one being can wield them all at once. Now Garmadon's brother, the heroic Sensei Wu, must gather four young men and train them in the ways of the ancient art of Spinjitzu. These four - Kai, Jay, Zane and Cole - must become ninja and stand against the dark power of Garmadon and his evil skeleton army. If they fail, the four weapons will be lost and Ninjago doomed forever.


MY THOUGHTS

My son is a huge fan of most of the LEGO shows so I knew he would like the latest LEGO show featuring ninja lego action figures.  I was right.  My son loved this dvd which features the 2 episode movie that started the hit show on Cartoon Network.  My daughters also loved the show too.  So that meant they watched it several times this past weekend which I did not mind because the show is good clean fun entertainment for my kids. 

I recommend this dvd to anyone who has LEGO fans in their household.  They are sure to love the show and will probably also be hitting you up for the cool toys that go along with the show so they can reenact out the scenes to it.  You can purcahse the dvd now where dvds are sold and online at Amazon.com for $ 9.99.  Also be sure to look for my review of the Season 1 dvd of the show in the next few days.
