Hope At Sea - #RaisingAReader #ChristmasCountdown #AD

Oh my goodness, can you guys believe it is already November?  I mean... wow... time sure is flying, at least on my end of things!  You know how much we love reading around her...   and I love the idea of a Christmas countdown using books.  I have done it in the past and it is a fun thing for us to do.
The thing is, you don't have to do new books.  You can get some new ones and mix in old ones.  Some people choose to do Holiday themed books, while others are a variety.  We have done both.  You can even mix in coloring books in there if you want.  I have seen some people number them how they want them opened and others just grab whichever book you want to use!

I said all of that to say this... 

We just enjoyed Hope At Sea An Adventure Story by Daniel Miyares.  
This book tells the story of Hope, a little girl that didn't want to hear about her dad's adventures... she wanted to live the adventure with him!!!  Yep, you guessed it.  She snuck onto the ship to go on her dads next journey!  This book shows the love of a dad and child while sharing the adventure they go on. We loved it and Savannah and I read it together.  
This might make it into our book countdown, or maybe we will share it with our local little free library, just not sure yet!  Either way, it is a delight to read!

Top Ten Extended Family Funny Movies

Image
To kick off the release of Parental Guidance on March 26, 2013...  Here is a list of Ten Funny Extended Family Movies... Be it holidays or reunions, there is bound to be a laugh or two!!!! 10. The Great Outdoors The Craigs and the Ripleys couldn’t be more different! The Craigs’ patriarch is know-it-all investment banker Roman Craig (Dan Akyroyd) and fun-loving Chester (John Candy), better known as “Chet,” sits at the helm of the Ripley clan.  When the Ripleys decide to explore the great outdoors on vacation and are spontaneously joined by the Craigs, hilarity follows. 9. Dark Shadows Although there is no shortage of places to lay the blame for the drama within the Collins family, the most recent addition to the clan, Barnabas (Johnny Depp), is largely responsible for the family’s misfortune. He manages to bring the brood’s dysfunction to a boil in this enjoyable remake, when he rejoins the family after a 196-year absence and lengthy stay in a coffin following his torr

All thoughts and opinions are my own . We were recently introduced to Toopy and Binoo and I do love the concept.   Toopy and Binoo are two cute and colorful characters... that are also best friends.   They are just now hitting the United States - by way of the Toopy and Binoo You Tube Channel ... (Head on over and check them out... I will wait on you to come back.) Okay - now that you are back... Which ones did you watch?  Broxton cracked up watching Baby Toopy and I can only remember the banana one.   I will admit, I watched when I was exhausted... Broxton watched while I fell asleep.     He ended up watching the whole DVD - and kept talking

Just in time for Halloween!!!! Join in the fun with a double play of cute movies! If you are having a Halloween Party or just want to get into the "spirit" of it all... You will love this! We were sent the Dreamworks Party Pack for review and Broxton was so excited. Not only did we receive the movies for review, we also enjoyed the Halloween Pack that was included!!!! We enjoyed: Shrek Candy, Shrek Trick or Treat Bucket, Shrek Hands and Ears and Popcorn. See how cute the candy is? Ha ha! Look at their names! Daddy feeding Broxton the "swamp slugs" with the Shrek Hands! We (the older boys, my parents, Marc and I)love the Shrek movies, so I thought Broxton would like this Halloween take on it... Not so much. He was scared by it. The movie has Shrek and his buddies go to an old abandoned place and tell scary stories to see who is the bravest one there. I laughed, but Broxton wasn't having it... He ended up playing with his toys while I watched it, but
