Amazon’s “Capture Their Love of Reading” Kindle Giveaway
Last year I had a chance to check out the new Kindle Fire HDX Tablet courtesy of Amazon and absolutely fell in love with it. I use to be pretty adamant about only reading book books but after trying out the Kindle I liked the ease of which I can order a book immediately in the comfort of my home. This has been really convenient when I am reading a series and can’t wait to start the next book. You know how that is when the author leaves you on a cliffhanger and you must start the new book immediately! Plus, I love all the deals they offer such as free books for…

Minions :: A Movie Review, Giveaway and Party Ideas
We had a chance to attend a prescreening of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions a few weekends ago and I have to say it is my daughter’s absolute favorite movie she has seen so far this summer. I do think Inside Out is a close second since we’ve seen it five times already but something about these funny little yellow guys had our whole family laughing throughout the movie. At the start of the movie we see that Minions began at the dawn of time where they started as single-celled yellow organisms and evolved through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T.…

4 Summer Science Projects to do with the Kids
We are well into summer now, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped learning. In fact we’re still doing quite a lot – I just don’t call it “school”. Instead I just ask the kids if they want to do an activity with mommy and they’re sold. Science is the favorite subject in my house so we are doing a lot of mini-experiments and crafty projects that allow me to slip some scientific education into the day. We’ve dyed celery, made a seashell display box, and skinned an onion to see plant cells. Today we started a compost experiment using one of the small plastic fruit containers and some of the…

Movie Review :: Jurassic World is the best one yet!
Our whole family went to see Jurassic World opening weekend at our local theater and boy, was it a packed house! It seems like there are a lot of fans of this fun movie franchise – and for good reason! Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited next installment of his groundbreaking Jurassic series, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. First off, I must admit I have a bit of a celebrity crush on Chris Pratt. I really loved him as Starlord in Guardians of the Galaxy, thought he always stole the scenes in Parks and Recreation and he definitely is fun to watch in Jurassic World. “Twenty-two…
