Thomas and Friends : Day of the Diesels (DVD Review)


As we all know, Broxton LOVES Thomas and Friends...
We have the toys, the books and of course, the DVD's.

I was excited to know that we would be adding to our DVD collection with the newest DVD from them.
Thomas and Friends: Day of the Diesel was not really what we were expecting.
Yes, it had Thomas and Percy, but it seemed a bit too "negative" for Broxton.
Don't get me wrong, we don't try and pretend the world is perfect..
With this DVD, it just seemed a little older than for a 2 and a half year old.

This DVD has the introduction of two new firefighting engines...
Flynn and Belle.
Broxton LOVED it!!!!!

Thomas shows them around Sodor Island, but in the process of doing so, Percy gets pushed to the side and is feeling ignored!
Then, there are the Diesels...
Ugh...... I don't care for them, neither does Broxton!
Diesel 10 is a bad guy and long story short, he takes advantage of Percy feeling left out!
Broxton did not really get into it the first time, I do not know if it was because it was a bit scary in the eyes of a toddler, or what...
But, a couple days later, he did ask to watch it again...
(We had talked about how Diesel wasn't being a good friend and that you should always love your friends and be nice to them..)

We have since watched it again a couple more times.
I know he loves watching Thomas, but I do think that this is probably for the 4 and older age group.
So, if you have a train fan...
Or a Thomas fan...
(That is a bit older!)
I think you should think about adding this to your gift list this year!!!

DVD Synopsis:
The Steamies and the Diesels face off in this action-packed movie adventure! When a fire breaks out on the Island of Sodor, two new firefighting engines – Flynn and Belle – join Thomas and Percy to save the day! When Thomas starts spending all his time with Sodor’s newest heroes, Percy is left feeling alone. Diesel sees this and invites Percy to the Dieselworks, where Percy is made to feel special by none other than the master of mischief Diesel 10! But Percy doesn’t know that he is part of Diesel 10’s master plan to take over the Sodor Steamworks. Can Percy lead the Steam Team to reclaim the Steamworks or will the Diesels make it their new home? It’s full steam ahead to sure-fire excitement in this all-new movie from Thomas & Friends™!

    My boys both have like Thomas. I just wish that all the train sets out there fit on one track. We have Team GeoTrax to. Then there's Chuggington and Dinosaur Train. Too many sets.

    It is great that Thomas' movies have morals to them!

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...
