HOPping!

-

Okay, so roll your eyes and call me cheesy, but I can’t resist – this weekend was HOPping in our house.

Amidst the craziness of the garage sale, our crew also went to a special screening of the new Easter movie, Hop!

What a great family movie! The entire group loved it . . . which means a lot, since some of us adults {ahem} are a little leary of children’s movies, especially if they feature animation. However, this movie also has real people. Some good looking real people – like James Marsden.

There’s also this cute little critter:

You’ll love this fun Easter story about an out-of-work deadbeat (James Marsden) who has to nurse the Easter Bunny back to health after accidentally injuring him. I could continue on, but really the kids opinions are the most important.

Riley my newly turned five-year-old said, “It was good, Mom. A chick turned into a bunny!” Of course it did, that sounds just right for an Easter movie, right?

My three year old liked it so well that the first thing he said when we got home was, “I want to see that movie again!”

Sometimes even animated movies have too much adult humor in them for me to feel comfortable taking my boys or encouraging my friends to attend, however this is one movie I can give a big thumbs up for everyone!

GIVEAWAY: Practical Designs’ Shopping Cart Covers

-
Image
With my first two boys we used a couple of different shopping cart/restaurant high chair covers – one was handmade by a family member and the other was store bought. Neither worked well. Maybe my ability to juggle baby, cover and seat is lacking, but I was never successful at getting the seat on, the baby in and everyone settled without something going wrong. Then the handmade one practically shredded in the washing machine and the store bought ended up sold in a consignment sale. So, I knew that we would be starting over with Weston and I really wanted one that had elastic all the way around so it fit whatever seat you put it on and had its own belt so that you don’t have to run the yucky one from the cart or high chair through the seat and around the baby. At Practical Designs I found the perfect solution. There is a reason that this shop has 100% positive feedback after over 100 reviews. Practical Designs sent me the Retro Dot Cover , seen below.

Exciting Giveaway - $25 Gift Certificate

I’m excited to tell you about our latest giveaway. Lately there have been some great deals from a new deal site from adpages.com. I’ve recently decided to partner with Adpages and bring you some more INCREDIBLE opportunities. The first step was trying out their services. So I used a credit to purchase their Clix! portrait deal . I was able to get a potrait sitting and a disk with 5 images on it for just $49. I have to admit that this is definitely my preferred way of getting pictures as prints can be VERY inexpensively made on the Internet but frequently cost an arm and a leg from the photographer directly. Besides, in our family the grandparents are generally the ones who purchase the pictures and so it doesn’t work for me to have to pick and pay at the time of the sitting. Weston just turned 6 months old and he is absolutely precious. I wanted to make sure we got a good glimpse of his personality in these pictures. I think Clix! did just that . . . I'm telling you -
