Go On an Adventure with The Rock - Journey 2: The Mysterious Island


We just had the chance to watch Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
Let me start with saying that I have never seen the first one...
That being said, I do not think you need to (unless I missed something that I should have "gotten" but it seemed as though we were good to go just watching this.)  I will tell you, since we are WWE fans, I was more inclined to want to see this..   As it has Dwayne Johnson (AKA THE ROCK) as one of the key characters...  (I also though the boys would like to see it when they come, as it has Vanessa Hudgens and they all think "she is HOT!"  

So, we got the movie and Broxton immediately wanted to see The Rock Movie.
Have you heard of Journey 2? 
Long Story Short, this kid is a little BRAT and his step-dad is Dwayne Johnson.  (He makes it clear that "he is NOT my stepfather, just my appointed guardian." )  At this point, Marc and I were already commenting on his crappy attitude.  Well, he gets in trouble and then slowly they have a bonding moment.. which leads them to work together... You see, Dwayne learns that the reason he got in trouble was he felt that he needed to do it as to get a secret message from his grandaddy.  This is when we learn that the step-dad used to be in the Navy, so instead of all the hate and animosity, if they just work together, the might actually get along...
We are treated to a wild and crazy adventure full of all sorts of crazy animals...
Riding on bees?  Holding baby elephants?  Stepping (and cracking)  eggs.... 
It was a cute movie and I LOVED that we did not notice one curse word!!!!
I will say there were a couple scenes where Broxton was a little scared, but for the majority, he was captivated watching it with us..    Oh, it was pretty cool that the knowledge that led them on the adventure was because of great literature...  
That is all I am telling you..
 You have to watch to understand what all I mean!

Head back over tomorrow...
WHY?
Because one lucky reader is going to have the chance to win a copy!!!!
Contest starts tomorrow!!!!

    The kids have been begging me to see this ever since they heard about it. We haven't seen the first one either, but the previews of this one had them whining.

    It sounds like it would make a great friday night movie night. I love movies that can be watched as a family without worrying about "approved" swearing or questionable scenes.

    Great review. I can't remember if I saw the first one or not so it is helpful to know that it isn't needed. My family and I are super excited to watch this one together on family night

    You gave a pretty good review and it's more interesting to see how your son interacted with it!

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...

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
