A Magical Smurf Adventure - Review

I was born in 1979, meaning I grew up as a child of the 80's!!!
Do you remember The Smurfs?
I loved them!

Granted, I could not figure out why Smurfette was the only girl...
Or why Papa Smurf was SO OLD and the rest were the same age.
To this day, I still do not understand it, but it is something that I just gave up on trying to get!

I was so excited to see that The Smurfs were on a channel that we get, but normally it comes on when Broxton's other shows are on!
That being said, we do not watch it!
I was happy to know that I was going to get to review The Smurfs on DVD.
I wasn't happy that it came when the brothers were here..
Why?
Well, they wanted to watch it, thinking it was the movie...
Once they saw the case and saw it was the cartoon, they went to their room.
That in turn meant that Broxton could totally care less to see it.

We watched a couple episodes and it was as cute as I remembered...
But, Broxton did not want to watch it, as he was too worried what the brothers were doing!!!!
I did notice though that he did NOT care for Gargamel.
Guess at his age, he is a bit creepier to him than to me.

I still love The Smurfs, but I think I will wait a bit before trying to get Broxton to watch it..
At least until after the brothers leave.
Then, we might give it another try...
Either way, I know when he gets a little older, he will love it as much as I did!
(Okay,I hope he does...)

Synopsis:

    Oh, i'm so glad the smurfs are back on tv. I was a smurf with a friend for Halloween this year. This is the kind of cartoon that kids should be watching, not all the graphic violent trash they air today. I hope Broxton learns to love the smurfs, they're a huge part of my childhood.

    I liked the Smurfs a lot, but we did not watch TV on Saturday, and it was a "Saturday Morning Cartoon", so I hardly ever saw it. By the time I knew how to set the VCR I was a bit too old for the show :) Maybe you'll get to see a sneak preview of the new 3D one!

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...
