Winnie the Pooh

Everyone’s favorite Silly Old Bear is back with WINNIE THE POOH playing only in theatres everywhere beginning July 15th!

My son just recently discovered Winnie the Pooh or as he refers to him "Pooh and the bear" and he really seems to enjoy it. My husband let me know last night that Winnie the Pooh was his favorite childhood character. When I was in highschool me and all my friends got these cute Winnie the Pooh & Friends character shaped back packs from our local Disney Store. I had a Eeyore one and absolutely adored it. I think we might just have to go see the movie as a family and hope that my son can sit through at least half the movie.

Walt Disney Animation Studios created an activity pack just for you and your family! The pack includes recipes, pencil toppers, masks, fun facts and much, much more!

All of these great family activities can be found here: http://media-file.net/2/wtp-family/.

Current Summer Read

This book just came out this month and all the reviews seem positive. I just started reading this book yesterday (which I received for review purposes ) and am already on page 86 and can honestly say that I'm enjoying it. As soon as I finish with it I'll be posting a review.

Have you read it or are in the process? If not, what summer reads do you recommend.

Reader Appreciation Giveaway: $20 Giftcard ENDS 07-07-2011 {CLOSED}

Ever since my trip abroad in May I feel{know} that I've pretty much abandoned my blog.  Although I've found other ways to fill my day along with my beautiful son, I now know that I really miss the blogging world.  Before, I felt that I was spending too much time on the computer and not enough time with my family.  Anyhow, I've been working on my organizational issues and I know that I'm ready for a comeback.  That is if, you my wonderful readers are willing to support me.  With that said, I'm going to work hard on finding new products out there to review and with luck find sponsors for giveaways.

Although,  I've hosted many giveaways in conjuction with my reviews, they have always been sponsored by a second party. So,  I feel that the most appropriate thing would be to have a giveaway sponsored by yours truely as a way to welcome my readers back to my blog!  If you happen to be new to my blog, feel free to participate as well!

Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Cat's Life/My Dog's Life {ENDS 06-16)

I love curling up and reading any one of the books from the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. There is a book for everyone from new moms, people wanting to get fit, teachers and now for dog and cat lovers, too!  Believe me, even if cat and dogs aren't your favorite animals chances are after reading some of the stories you will end up having a soft side for them.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Dog's Life

101 Stories about All the Ages and Stages of Our Canine Companions





Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Cat's Life

101 Stories about All the Ages and Stages of Our Feline Family Members

Both books offer stories about all the ages and phases that both dogs and cats go through along with some fun, witty stories.  If you have dogs or cats you will most certainly be able to identify yourself and your pet within the stories.

BUY IT

You can purchase Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Cat's Life or Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Dog's Life at bookstores, directly or from Chicken Soup from the Soul.
