When Peyton was in preschool they had these magnetic blocks that all the kids wanted to play with. The kids would spend house building homes and villages with these blocks. When I saw the 4DBlocks it made me think back to those days when Peyton would spend house building with the magnetic blocks at preschool. When Peyton saw the 4DBlocks she became extremely excited. She tried to play it off like it wasn't a big deal but I knew she wanted to get her hand on them. As soon as I asked her if ...
An American Girl Story – Maryellen 1955: Extraordinary Christmas
If you are not familiar with Maryellen let me tell you a little bit about her. First - She's my favorite! Every time we are at the American Girl store in the Mall of America I must stop and take a look at Maryellen. I have been trying to convince Peyton to chose her for the last 2 years but Peyton keeps choosing the current girl fo the year. Maryellen is part of the Be Forever line so I always let Peyton have the girl of the year since they are only here for a year and the Be Forever line is ...

AXE Body for the Holidays
I have a nephew that is turning the big 10 in a few weeks. As he gets older it is becoming harder to shop for him. Why? Because I can't buy him a remote control car and call it a day. I also want to buy him presents that will benefit him. One thing I will be giving him this year is Axe Body care products. When kids start to hit puberty they need different hygiene products than when they were toddlers. AXE has several lines of body care products that the boys and dads can use. AXE is also ...
Bring Home Pete’s Dragon for the Holidays
Earlier this year I took Peyton to see Pete's Dragon in the theater. It was a pretty emotional film, for both of us. I was concerned this would turn Peyton off but it didn't. Pete's Dragon is full of emotional scenes that engage the audience. Within the first 30 seconds, we were both engrossed in the film. I will admit, the first 10 minutes or so are pretty intense. As a parent, I was moved by the opening scene. We see Pete and his family on a road trip and Pete is reading to his mother. Such a ...
Disney’s BFG is Now Available!
Just in time for the holidays, Disney released The BFG on DVD! Peyton and I saw The BFG over the summer and loved it. Disney and Stephen Speilberg did a fabulous job bringing Roald Dahl's The BFG to life on the big screen. The BFG is a wonderful film to have on hand for family get togethers. It really is a film that will entertain the whole family. I had never seen The BFG before, I know there's an animated version but the first time I had ever seen The BFG or heard the story was when I saw ...
