The Royal Wedding - DVD Review

Although I planned on waking up bright and early to watch THE ROYAL WEDDING...
When my alarm went off, my body told me that sleep was just a bit more important!
Yes, I did get up - EVENTUALLY- and watch the end...
But still.
I just figured I would catch a couple clips of it and be good to go...

I was so excited when I was offered the chance to review the DVD released from the BBC, you KNOW I jumped at it!
I am so glad that I did!

I loved the fact that they not only showed the wedding...
Which was absolutely beautiful, just in case you are one of the few that did not see it...
I also loved that they told who the different people were...
Nope, I did not know many of them...
To the point that when I was watching it live, I sent a text to a good friend of mine (Broxton's Uncle Stuart) that lives in England asking him who a few were!!!!
Had I been watching this, I would have known!
Also, I found it pretty neat when they were telling the history of the cars that they took to the Abbey, as well as the carriages that they left in!
When the trumpets were going off, I was happy that the DVD was telling me why!!!

I am glad that I got to see this version, as it was very informative...
Not to mention getting to watch the lovely wedding!
This is a must have for any of those that were totally caught up in the whole thing, as I know many that were!!!

    This sounds like a great video to have in your home library.

    I am not much a fan of the Royals, so I wouldn't buy it, but I would definitely borrow it from the library or something. Thank you for the review! :]

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
