Calling all Star Wars fans!   Calling all Star Wars fans!   I have a great gift for you!   We were sent an awesome book for review and this is going to be a main gift for Broxton this holiday season!  I know he will love it and since it is Star Wars, his brothers and dad will love reading it to him!  

The book?  Star Wars - The Adventures of Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight.  It is a hard covered book that is filled with page after page of illustrations and text.  Some images are full page, some just take up a small section, but all are amazing!  At 64 pages, this is a must have for all!   

Book Synopsis: 
The classic tale of good versus evil set in a galaxy far, far away quickly became a cultural phenomenon during its time, inspiring a generation of story lovers and storytellers.  Now, the original trilogy of Star Wars shines anew in this remarkable picture book, which pairs the iconic paintings of Ralph McQuarrie the legendary concept artist behind A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi with text by acclaimed New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi.
Collected in a picture book for the first time, McQuarrie’s concept paintings and sketches combined with DiTerlizzi’s expertly distilled retelling of Luke Skywalker’s journey from farm boy on Tatooine to Jedi Knight is a winning combination that will captivate Star Wars fans old and new and delight generations of readers to come.
I know that I will enjoy reading this with him, as I still really have NO CLUE about Star Wars, other than what he tells me... I know, I know... I really need to watch the movies... But this will have both of our attention!  He will love it for the illustrations and the story inside it... I will love it for the story, but also for the bonding time! Seems like a win - win for both of us!  Make kids of all ages excited with this!  
If you are a fan of Star Wars, make sure you check out my reviews of the Star Wars Rebels books that Disney just released too!

    Soft covers have their place, but hardcovers are always my fave!

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...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
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!!!!...
