This toothpaste is definitely worth every penny. It works very well. I loved the minty taste that wasn't too over powering, but provided you with a clean and refreshing taste right after brushing. I also noticed a chance in how whiter my teeth became after using this for a week. Definitely can see huge results when using this toothpaste, which leaves you with a great feeling that your teeth is definitely getting cleaned. -

I absolutely loved the oral-b 3d toothbrush and not just because I have the purple one either!
I loved that the tooth brush had soft bristles, but still was very effective. I also appreciated the grips on the handle, which let me brush as hard as I want without slipping. It wasn't too hard on my teeth and worked very well. I also loved that it has a tongue and cheek cleaner as well. Definitely will be buying one for the hubby and kiddos as well.

Disney's Brave

I was super excited to have the opportunity to watch Disney's Brave. Not only do I love that this new princess is from Scotland, but I absolutely love how independent she is and how hard she tries to let it be known that she does not need a man, she's completely capable of taking care of herself.
Brave is a thrilling journey set in the ancient and magical Highlands of Scotland and follows the heroic journey of the headstrong, young adventurer Merida. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida confronts tradition and defies an age-old custom that inadvertently unleashes chaos, and forces her to discover the true meaning of bravery.
More than anything I loved how the relationship between the Princess and Queen grew. Throughout the movie I have to admit I shed some tears. This is such a perfect movie for any mom and daughter to watch together, as one of my friends told me before I watched the movie, "It's kinder to the mother-daughter relationship than a lot of other kids movies are," I couldn't agree more. And that was something that drew me in more into the already great story.
If you haven't already seen this movie, go get it now! It's out in stores and it's definitely a movie worth having.

From Academy Award-nominated writer/director Peter Hedges (Dan in Real Life, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape), and starring Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, Oscar winner Dianne Wiest and CJ Adams as Timothy Green, comes this highly imaginative story about a happily married couple who can’t wait to start a family but can only dream about what their child would be like. Then one stormy night young Timothy shows up on their doorstep. Soon they and the small town in which they live learn that sometimes the unexpected can bring some of life’s greatest gifts. The story is written by Ahmet Zappa (“American Gangster,” “Changeling”).
MY REVIEW
I first saw the trailer for The Odd Life Of Timothy Green in theaters this past Summer. The trailer alone gave me chills and I had water in my eyes. I knew it was a movie that I had to see. It came out and I wasn't able to make the time to go see it in theaters but I am so glad I got the opportunity to review the movie because it was definitely worth a watch.
This filmed was cast perfectly. Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton did an amazing job with their characters and how can I forget about young Timothy himself played by, CJ Adams. His performance in this movie was fantastic. From beginning to end this movie had me hooked. We watched it as a family and by the end of the movie we were all cuddled on the same couch. I cried, I laughed, I got so emotional, but I'd watch it again in a heartbeat because it was that good. This is definitely one of those family movies you can sit down and watch with your family and a month, a year, a couple of years later come back and still love it. The Odd Life Of Timothy Green is now out for purchase. Make sure Santa brings this to your home for the Holidays!

From Disney and creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes the hilarious and offbeat “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town learn that getting a new ‘leash on life’ can be monstrous.
MY REVIEW
We were pretty excited when we got the opportunity to watch, Frankenweenie. My daughter had already pretty much knew the entire movie because a couple of friends at school have been talking about it, but she was still excited to actually get to watch it. When we first sat down to watch it my son was the one who really paid attention to how the screen turned black and white. He got curious and it took him a bit to get the hang of the movie not being in color, but that quickly faded.
During the entire movie I found my kids enjoying every scene, they only screamed out a couple of times once Sparky got in an accident and a second time towards the end of the movie when the town tried to revive him once again. I really enjoyed this film. You can definitely tell it's a film from Tim Burton, I think by know everyone can tell his work. I loved how the movie had similarities to the real story of Frankenstein and how the dog, Sparky, got his Bride of Frankenstein, that was pretty cute.
My kids really enjoyed this movie and after it was over, rushed over to our dog, Izzie, telling her they hope nothing like that ever happens to her. This movie definitely shows you how much pets mean to us and if we had the chance to get our pets back after they passed a way, it would be hard not to want to do it.

I absolutely loved Taken part one. It was filled with action, a great story line and amazing acting. The things one man went through to save his daughter was touching.
I have to admit when I first saw the trailer for Taken 2, I shook my head. This was going to be the exact same story line, but with his wife instead of his daughter. Even being a big Liam Neeson fan I was a bit hesitant to watch part two because I didn't feel there should have been a sequel to the first movie. But when I told my husband I had the opportunity to review it, he talked me into it and told me to at least watch it.
I have to say I'm glad he talked me into it. Liam has done it again and in this sequel there's even more action then there was in the first movie. From beginning to end there was just tons going on. It kept me interested and actually guessing to see what was going to happen next. If you're big on action movies, a fan of Liam Neeson or you watched Taken part one, you definitely have watch part two, you won't be disappointed.

Based on William Joyce's the Guardians of Childhood book series, Rise of the Guardians is a gorgeously animated film about Boogeyman Pitch Black's attempts to spread darkness and fear throughout the world and the guardians' attempts to foil him. Charged with the duty of watching over the children of the world, guardians Sandman, North, Tooth, and E. Aster Bunnymund are loved by children everywhere.
When the Man in the Moon appoints Jack Frost to be the newest guardian, the other guardians doubt that Jack can be of much help against Pitch, especially considering that the children don't even believe in Jack Frost's existence. But when Pitch prevents Tooth from collecting the children's teeth, keeps E. Aster Bunnymund from hiding eggs on Easter, and turns the children's happy dreams into nightmares, the guardians realize that they're going to need all the help they can get. The children stop believing in the guardians one by one, and the question that remains is what can one fun-loving, somewhat immature boy with the power to freeze everything he touches possibly do to counteract the fear and darkness enveloping the world?
MY REVIEW
The movie was awesome! It was what we expected it to be and more. I wasn't disappointed at all. It has something for everyone. Lots of humor that the kids enjoyed and some older humor that made my hubby and myself chuckle at too. This was a great movie to curl up to and is perfect for the entire family no matter how old you are. I definitely recommend having this be the movie you and your family watches on your next Family Movie Night! This hands down has to be one of my new favorite family movies that I can see myself watching over and over again.

Old-school grandparents Artie (Crystal) and Diane (Midler) get more than they bargained for when they get stuck babysitting their type-A daughter’s (Tomei) overprotected kids. But things go from hectic to hysterical when Artie realizes the kids are running the house with their newfangled technology. By playing by his own rules, which include sugary snacks, old fashioned games and tough love, Artie manages to outsmart the kids and achieve the impossible- bring the family closer together!
MY REVIEW
I'm a huge fan of Bette Midler and I enjoy some of the older films that Billy Crystal was in, so when I got the opportunity to watch Parental Guidance I was pretty excited. It didn't disappoint in any way. This movie had a great cast. The story line was both hilarious and had me thinking of old memories with my grandparents and what it's like some times for my parents with my kiddos.
I also loved how they family bonded. They might not have seen eye to eye with each other on things, but what family always agrees with everything? I loved how in the end they come together and that not only did the kids bond with their grandparents, but the daughter got to bond with her parents. Such a great movie. I think I'm going to let my in laws watch this, they'd get a kick out of this movie.

Hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery Pi and his majestic companion make an amazing and unexpected connection.
MY REVIEW
I was very excited and thrilled when I got a chance to see this movie. I heard so many reviews and not to mention people telling me to read the book before I saw the movie, but when the movie arrived at my front door, I couldn't wait. My husband was thrilled. He had been wanting to watch the movie as well and so a few weeks back we made a date night of it. Instead of watching our normal television shows we turned on Life of Pi instead. Can I just say this movie was incredible?!
This was such an amazing movie, especially being seen on blu-ray. Watching this amazing story unfold on screen was like no movie I had ever seen before. The acting was simply extraordinary. I couldn't get enough of how well the acting was. The picture on my screen was beautiful. This is definitely a movie that you would have to see, I can't even imagine what the book must be like, since movies are always a bit different, so I'll definitely be reading Life of Pi as well.

Oscar® winners Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren are spellbinding in this provocative story about the making of one of cinema’s most iconic films. Plagued by both a reckless ego and nagging self-doubt, Hollywood legend Alfred Hitchcock (Hopkins) becomes obsessed with a grisly murder story that the studios won’t back. Determined, he risks his reputation, his home and even the love of his wife Alma (Mirren), as he sets out to make the film. Ultimately, Hitch wins Alma over, and the two collaborate to create an enduring masterpiece – Psycho. Also starring Scarlett Johansson, Toni Collette and Jessica Biel, Hitchcock is “a knockout from start to finish” (Rex Reed, New York Observer).
MY REVIEW
This week hubby and I got a chance to review the newly released “Hitchcock,” a glimpse into the life of Alfred Hitchcock, played by Anthony Hopkins. The story takes place during the making of one of Mr. Hitchcock’s most famous films, “Psycho”.
Hubby and I truly loved the movie and think Anthony Hopkins did a magnificent job portraying Alfred Hitchcock. Before beginning the movie, we questioned whether it was a wise idea to using Anthony Hopkins to portray “The Master of Suspense,” both being such familiar faces - but we were delighted to see that with his superior acting skills and a great makeup job, the “Hopkins” never comes out and all you see is “Hitchcock”.
This movie has a nice display of Mr. Hitchcock’s passion for filmmaking and the reliance he had on his wife Alma. It depicts a genuine love story and a brief look into what they faced as a couple staking so much of their estate on the making of “Psycho”. Great watch!
