#Family Movie Night with Crooked Arrows


 Have you ever watched a movie and immediately felt that you needed to start facebooking and tweeting and calling to let everyone know about it?
I know that I posted about a not so family oriented movie earlier, so I needed to share this with you now!
Truthfully, it is that good that I wanted to go ahead and let you all know about it, in case you were planning your weekend, you can consider watching this for a family night at home!
Crooked Arrows was a great movie and it is for sure family friendly. I do not think I heard them say any profane words and I even noticed where most movies would have chosen another word, they said "tail."
Okay, it does have a few scenes in a casino... and girls dancing on the bar for about a minute, but that was really it...
Just a heads up, the caption on the screen says "vagina" twice I think... but it was just where the kids got a translation wrong... they were not being perverts or anything... 
So, what is it about Crooked Arrows?
Well, long story short...
Here is the synopsis:
You’ll stand up and cheer for this feel-good sports thriller starring Brandon Routh (Superman Returns).  The ancient sport of lacrosse has been part of their tribal heritage for centuries, but the Native American players on the Crooked Arrows high school team are long-time losers. When former star player Joe Logan (Routh) agrees to coach the rag-tag group to seal the deal on a lucrative casino project, he sets out to turn the chumps into champs and, in the process, learns the value of loyalty himself. If the Arrows can learn to shoot straight and challenge their prep school rivals, these fast-breaking warriors may just pull off the ultimate upset and win it all!

 This movie is so much more than a movie...
 It teaches you about RESPECT.  For your family, your heritage, your community and most of all, yourself!  
Broxton was really into it for a bit, but then nap time got the best of him!  (Side note, loving that naps are coming back into the picture here... He gave up on them for a bit... I personally really enjoy them!)

I was not familiar with the cast, except for the one guy (dad in the movie) was familiar to me from all of the Twilight Movies... I thought that the "coach" was familiar, but I never watched Superman Returns, so I am not sure... The girl in the movie reminds me of someone, but I have yet to figure it out... 
Long story short... 
This is a great movie...   If you love sports or not...   Kids or not... 
If you are a fan of LACROSSE, you will love it, as I think there are not many Lacrosse movies out there!

It was released on October 23rd... So, it is ready for you to purchase or rent today!!!!
Make tonight a movie night and you will NOT be disappointed!
(This would make an AWESOME gift for anyone on your list!)

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... ...
