It seems as though Paw Patrol is getting more and more popular each day and that is totally fine with me.  Broxton used to love watching it, but I guess he has grown out of it now.  He will watch if Savannah is watching and it is the only thing on, but if she isn't in here to watch, he is too busy to watch it with me.  Savannah loves Skye, of course...  but Marshall is still my favorite!  I have this put up for a rainy day treat and I know she will love it when I surprise her with it!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:  The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.  Opinions expressed are my own and were not influenced by monetary compensation.    It's all paws on deck in  Nickelodeon 's brand-new DVD collection -   PAW Patrol: The Great Pirate Rescue!   In this six-episode, swash-buckling...

Just in case you were not aware... A NEW Pirates of the Caribbean is headed our way. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN :  DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES Out May 26, 2017

We are lucky enough to have Legoland Discovery Center (Atlanta) near us and with a son that loves ANYTHING LEGO, we have been at least once or twice.  Who am I kidding?  We used to have season passes and we made it a point to go as much as we could.  Since having the baby, we don't get out to go as often as we once did, so I try to make up for it when I can. Recently we were invited to go to a sneak peak for the new opening of their newest exhibit, Pirate Island.  Of course I said yes, I had to go check it out and it was a great gift for this awesome big brother we have here!

Griswell, I knew that was one to be excited about, since we had already checked out Rufus Goes To School and we loved that one!  One thing I love about the Rufus books? The fact that they make reading cool and important!!! (We know how much I love reading!)  In the latest book, Rufus heads to school to learn that the school is closed for summer break!  He sits down an...

He got where he wanted Pirate books and he loves reading them with his daddy...  We were sent the book, The Buccaneering Book of Pirates and I tell ya... Its a neat book!   Synopsis: Ahoy, matey! Meet a larger-than-life buccaneer ready for adventure. This picture book follow-up to  The   Giant Book of Giants  features a removable, pop-up pirate poster that's over four feet tall, with lift-the-flaps and pockets containing treasures tucked inside. Six vibrantly illustrated and action-packed tall tales complete the high-seas fun.  This book is actually a book with six short stories in it. The stories include:  Treasure ...

If you know Broxton, you know he loves Pirates!  Well, he is going to be so excited when I give him a Christmas gift a little early!!!! We were sent A Pirates Twelve Days of Christmas from Sterling books and it is just awesome! Get ready for this... The little pirate on the pirate ship is so excited for Christmastide... Until the Captain told him that "holidays are for landlubbers" and he had to stay on the ship and clean...   He was so sad... UNTIL he woke up in the morning and was surprised to find a Parrot in a Palm Tree!  From each day there out, he woke up to a new gift... You know, just like the song..  but with a Pirate Spin on it... He got 4 cacklin' hens... 9 mermaids singing and on and on... It was so cute... and I know he is going to love it... If you have a Pirate fan, take note... The author of this book also has : A Pirates Night Before Christmas ...  Do you know a Pirate Fan?  FTC Compliant Review Policy: The product(s) f...

If you have a fan of pirates...  I have a book to recommend!!!! Remember when I told you about Broxton deciding he wanted a Pirate Book and Marc thinking he just had to have it?  Well, lucky for us... We had the chance to review the newest book from Jonny Duddle.  The latest book is The Pirates Next Door and it is just as cute as the first one we read!!!! In The Pirates Next Door, there is a pirate family moving to town!   What? They are the Jolley - Rogers and they have decided to come aboard and settle into a quiet little town while they work on fixing their boat.  Not to worry, the little girl next door decides to become friends with the little pirate boy!  Her parents are not big on their new neighbors... Not only do they have their big ol' Pirate ship right there in the way... They are a "disgrace" to the neighborhood.  That is just not the best for the neighborhood, as everyone in town makes up all these rumors about them! ...

I love sharing books with you that we receive for review..  Well, today I have a new book to share... We had to go to the bookstore to grab a book for Marc and while there, Broxton got into his head that he just HAD to have a Pirate Book.  We took him to the kids section and he looked at books while Marc looked at the book he needed... Then, I told Broxton to put the book up and lets head home, that we could look at Pirate books from the library...  Then, Marc started talking about how great the illustrations were and that he wanted me to look at it.. (That meant that HE wanted to buy it!  Lol!) We got the book and Broxton flipped through it all the way home...  He looked at it again when we got home... and he had Marc read it to him last night for bed.. It was so cute to go and see Marc and Broxton laid up in the bed reading and then Broxton had to sleep with the book in the bed with him!!!! Marc of course had to go on and on about the illus...
