Celebrate National Fairy Day with I See Me!
Happy National Fairy Day! We are celebrating today by reading a very special and unique book that has quickly become my daughter's favorite. I See Me! creates beautiful personalized children's books that make unique gifts. We were lucky enough to get to check one of these books out in person and share our thoughts with you!
My daughter received Sweet Dreams, Fairy Personalized Book. She loves all things fairy, so I knew this book would be one that she would love. She is also just beginning to read, so when it arrived we asked her to read the title to us. When she got to her name she was so excited. But that was only the beginning.
As we sat down to read this sweet story she was so excited every time she heard her name. She was magically taken into a fairy world where she was going through the entire day as a fairy. She was hunting for other personalized pieces in pictures, like her name and the name of our town. But she got the most excited when we read the part about her and her two best friends. She was thrilled that her best friends were in the story with her and couldn't wait to tell them all about it.
This book is so special. Not only is a sweet story with great illustrations, but it is personalized just for her with people that are special to her right now. She can keep this book and treasure it for a very long time. And on the inside we were able to put a picture of her along with a special message from us to her. It's just the perfect keepsake!
I See Me! has tons of personalized books, so you are sure to find something for every special kid on your list. But they also offer so much more... like personalized lunchboxes, puzzles, coloring books, placemats, stickers, growth charts and more. Their selection is fantastic and everything is unique and special to the kid you are giving it to. I would highly recommend that you check out I See Me! and see all of the unique gifts they have to offer.
You will also want to be sure to follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest! This way you won't miss a sale or a new product. And you can sign up for e-mail's so that you will be sure you won't miss a promotion or update.

My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic: Adventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders
Available TODAY on DVD!
Everypony is unique! If you lived in Equestria, what would your CUTIE MARK be? The Cutie Mark Crusaders can help you find out! My Little Pony – Friendship Is Magic: Adventures Of The Cutie Mark Crusaders is coming to DVD on February 24, 2015 in the U.S. and Canada from Shout! Factory Kids in collaboration with Hasbro Studios. Offered as a bonus feature is a fun new sing-along and coloring sheets!
In EQUESTRIA, obtaining a CUTIE MARK is an important coming-of-age moment for a young Pony. After all, Ponies acquire their CUTIE MARKS only after they discover a unique characteristic about themselves, setting them apart from all other Ponies. So when Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom meet, they instantly become friends and make it their mission to find their CUTIE MARKS! They are The Cutie Mark Crusaders!
My Little Pony – Friendship Is Magic: Adventures Of The Cutie Mark Crusader episodes include The Cutie Mark Chronicles, The Cutie Pox, Flight To The Finish, Pinkie Pride, and Twilight Time.
My Thoughts:
I have a five year old fan of the My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic series. We try to catch these adorable ponies whenever we can on the Discovery Family channel, but we also keep a few favorites on standby on DVD just in case we feel the desire to visit Equestria when it's not on TV.
My Little Pony is one of those shows that I can sit down and enjoy with my daughter. It is filled with messages of friendship and helping one another. Each pony is very unique with their own personality, from the athletic Rainbow Dash to the fashionista Rarity. My daughter has a different favorite every week! I love how they all work together for the good of each other and their home.
I loved this DVD because it was fun and informative. I always wondered what the marks on each pony were and how they got them. The cutie marks sure are cute, but they also have meaning behind them. But those cutie marks don't define who the ponies are. What truly matters is on the inside - not the outside. This is a great addition to your DVD collection and a fun DVD to watch together!

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Steve Carell Stars in the Hilarious Comedy that is perfect for the Entire Family!
Disney’s
ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE,
NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY
Available on Digital HD, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack,
Disney Movies Anywhere and On-Demand – February 10th
** Inaugural Recipient of the Common Sense Seal **
Synopsis: Disney’s heartwarming comedy will have your entire family laughing out loud. Based on the best-selling book, it follows the exploits of Alexander as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life and wonders if bad things only happen to him. But he discovers he’s not alone when his dad (Steve Carell), mom (Jennifer Garner) and family live through their own terrible – and hilarious – day. It will tickle everyone’s funny bone, and warm their hearts as they discover how even on rotten days, families can grow closer.
My Thoughts:
When this movie hit the theaters back in October I really wanted to go and see it. But... life with small kids usually means little time for the movies. So I was left to anxiously await it's arrival on DVD. It arrived on my door step on a Tuesday and my husband right away said, "lets have family movie night on Friday!" Argh... more waiting. But I am happy to say it was worth all the waiting I had to do!
I love when there is a good movie that the whole family can sit down and enjoy together. My daughter is almost 6, so she's just starting to be interested in movies that aren't cartoons. So this was a great movie to try with her to see if she could stay interested. We all loved it. We were laughing out loud and smiling at each other as we watched this loving family juggle life.... and pretty much fail at everything except supporting each other.
Alexander and his family have a lot on their plates, just like many families. Dad is trying to get a job, mom is trying to be mom and a career woman, and the kids each have their own important agendas and activities that they want/need their parents for....birthdays, proms, plays! Oh, and then there's the baby... who turns green. Reason enough to watch the movie. I could not even contain my laughter when the oldest son took his driving test.
While they definitely go through a lot of.... misfortune..... on this terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, they are always there for each other. They support and love each other 110% and it's such a heartwarming, fun movie to watch as a family. And with a cast like that... you can't go wrong! I would highly recommend it for your next movie night!

My Thoughts:
My 5 year old daughter is a huge Pound Puppies fan. This is a show that brings me back to my childhood, when I loved Pound Puppies. These puppies know what it means to be a friend and they have each other's backs in all the best ways. They work together and make magic happen when they find a person for every pup! I am happy that my daughter enjoys a show that represents such great qualities and lessons. She is learning to be a good friend and care for her friends. Plus, it helps that she loves puppies!
This DVD is full of lots of puppy fun. You can't beat the price for so many episodes of fun. We try to catch Pound Puppies on TV quite often, but if we miss it we now have some great episodes at our finger tips on this great DVD. The entire gang is lovable, but my daughter personally adores Cookie. I am partial to Lucky, as he seems to lead the gang and welcome every new pup to the pound. These episodes will allow you to really get to know the gang. Then come back and tell me who your favorite it!
