Isn't it funny how there are some things that you fall in love with as a child and, no matter how old you get, the love never fades? I would bet that, like me, most of you fell in love with Disney as kids. Now that we are adults, that love can continue to grow as we watch our children's eyes light with joy at anything that Disney offers us. Luckily for all of us, Disney is ready to make us all insanely happy yet again as we file into theaters this fall for the new movie Tangled.
You know the story of Rapunzel. Now experience it through the zany storytelling of Disney, amazing animation and awe-inspiring 3D effects!
When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) is taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a feisty teen with 70 feet of golden hair who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower where she’s been locked away for years, the unlikely duo sets off on a hilarious, hair-raising escapade filled with adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.
Mark your calendars because Tangled hits theaters on November 24th!
While you anxiously await opening day, Disney wants to hook up one of my readers with a super fun Tangled prize package!
One winner will receive: - Female fit Rapunzel t-shirt in Adult and Youth sizes (S, M, L, XL) - General fit Flynn Rider t-shirt in Adult and Youth sizes (S, M, L, XL) - General fit Pascal t-shirt in Adult and Youth sizes (S, M, L, XL) - Silly Bandz – set of 4 characters (Rapunzel, Flynn, Pascal, Maximus)

Halloween is almost here but, there are some things you can enjoy even after the festivities are over. Eating candy, telling spooky stories and having fun with your kids don't require a special day. Another thing you'll be able to enjoy long after the Halloween decorations come down is the Scholastic Storybook Halloween Stories Collection!
This three disc set contains 18 wonderfully fun and slightly spooky stories from Scholastic in the DVD format that parents and kids love. Some of my kids' favorite stories; including Where the Wild Things Are, A Very Brave Witch, The Teacher From the Black Lagoon and Alligators All Around are featured on this DVD set.
Scholastic Storybook DVD collections are absolutley amazing and, when choosing a DVD gift for a child, they are my number one pick every single time. Children love to be read to and love watching cartoons. Combine those two things and you've got the perfect DVD. Beloved Scholastic stories come to life on every DVD with famous voices and read-along words. Some stories are enhanced with wonderful songs and some DVDs include bilingual stories and author interviews. These are truly movies that you can feel good about letting your kids watch again and again. My three year old is fully entertained and my six year old's reading skills are improved every time they watch one of their Scholastic Storybook DVDs.
Put some Halloween fun in your entire year by adding the Scholastic Halloween Stories Collection to your DVD library! I highly recommend any of the Scholastic DVDs and think they make amazing holiday gifts!

My daughter and I both have some new socks that instantly became our favorites. I really love comfortable socks. I also know that, when it comes to socks for children, the more comfortable the better. My son especially is very particular when it comes to the way his socks feel inside his shoes. SmartKnitKIDS absolutely knows how important it is, no matter your age, to have the most comfortable socks possible. The SmartKnitKIDS socks that my daughter and I were lucky enough to try out are absolutely the best socks in our drawers.
SmartKnitKIDS Seamless Sensitivity Socks are made from the toe upward to the ankle, ensuring a 100% seamless sock. I love that there are no seams. I may not be a child but, even I can appreciate the comfort that comes from having something be seamless. I was pretty thrilled when I saw that SmartKnitKIDS come in "Big Kids" sizes too. You can get the whole family outfitted in seamless socks! Really though, for kids, it is so wonderful to not have to hear complaining about how the socks are hurting them in their shoes. I also absolutely love the form-fitting design of SmartKnitKIDS socks. That means that there aren't any "specified" areas for heels so there are no lumps anywhere and because there aren't any toe seams, there are no lumps on the sides of the toes. These are just amazing, smooth, incredibly soft socks.
SmartKnitKIDS Seamless Socks come in so many different colors and enough sizes for the whole family. You can also get ankle, crew and knee-high so everyone has a sock for every day. The non-binding Halo Top of the socks fit comfortably and don't slip down but, they aren't tight with elastic like regular socks. I know that, with my kids, so many times their socks are either falling down or far too tight on their little legs. These socks are not like that at all. They are perfect. SmartKnitKIDS socks also use fibers that wick moisture away which is great for all feet!

Win it! One reader will win three pair of SmartKnitKIDS Seamless Socks!

We try our hardest to feed our children and ourselves the best and most healthy food. We realized one day that we weren't showing our pets the same care. We are now taking great strides to really make sure that we are feeding our dogs healthier food. However, I was at a bit of a loss though when shopping for healthy dog food. Then, luckily, I was introduced to Nutrisca.
Nutrisca dog food is grain free, potato free dry dog food. Potato and tapioca are both high on the glycemic index and can be factors in doggy weight gain. Nutrisca is free of those things and uses low glycemic chickpeas and peas instead. When it comes to healthy dog food, Nutrisca is truly amazing.
Nutrisca contains: No Gluten No Soy No Corn No Wheat No Flour No BHA/BHT No Added Steroids No Ethoxyquin No Added Hormones No Artificial Flavors No Artificial Colors No Artificial Preservatives
So, what's in it? Goodness. Healthy and yummy goodness that your dogs will love.
The ingredients in Nutrisca dog food are real food. Chicken, lamb, peas, fish meal, flaxseed, veggies and fruits and all sorts of other things that are actually good for your dog.
Will your dog like it? Well, I can tell you that my dogs love it. My very picky eaters, despite the nasty things I have seen them eat occasionally, absolutely scarf their Nutrisca food. Of course I love seeing my dogs enjoy their food and knowing they aren't wasting any of it but, I also love knowing that what they are eating is actually good for them. And the price? Not bad. Only slightly more expensive than the store brands I had been buying and the peace of mind that I'm doing something good for my pets is totally worth it.
I highly recommend Nutrisca for any dog owner. There is so much good in this food that you just can't go wrong with it!
Buy it! You can get Nutrisca dry food, canned food and treats from the Dogswell online shopping site HERE.
Win it! 2 lucky winners will each get a 3 month supply of Nutrisca dry dog food!!

On any night in the winter, let's be honest - on any night at all, you can find me curled up in a blanket while lounging on the couch. My husband has a running joke about how I've always got to have a blanket, no matter the outdoor temperature. One of my favorite things about winter time is the cozy feeling of curling up with a blanket while hanging out with the family. It is seriously annoying trying to keep a blanket on for all the snuggly goodness while you are reading, channel surfing, game playing, blogging and all the other stuff we do while lounging on the couch. Everyone knows the annoyance of getting all cozy with the blanket around your shoulders and then reaching for your drink only to have the blanket fall down. There is absolutely a solution. The Slanket!
One of my best friends got a Slanket last winter and I was uber jealous. We were discussing the Slanket and other similar products when she told me "Do not get anything other than the SLANKET. They are the best." She showed me how soft hers was and I've touch-tested every other one I've seen in stores. She was definitely right. Slankets are the best. They are the softest and most comfortable feeling sleeve blankets out there. Slanket sent me one of their amazing blankets and I'm so in love. I might like it so much that I crank the air down so that I'll need it.
The Slanket sprouted out of necessity in a cold dorm room and has become a sensation. Once you use a Slanket, you'll know why everyone loves them so much. I definitely love how soft the Slanket is and I like that it's plush but, not too thick. What I really love is how large the Slankets are. I'm very crazy particular about how I have my blanket when I'm sleeping at night. I like to have it up over my shoulders and be able to tuck it all around my feet and body. The Slanket is perfect for that and when I move around or grab the tv remote or a drink, the blanket doesn't fall off my shoulders. Love it!
There are so many different colors and fun patterns that you can get. Slanket also offers travel and child blankets and you've got to check out the Siamese Slanket built for two people! So fun! I definitely recommend Slanket to everyone and think they are a "Must Have" for your Holiday Shopping. These make perfect gifts for family, friends, neighbors, teachers and for that hard to shop for person on your list! Don't forget to get yourself one too!
