Being a mom is one of the greatest blessings in my life.  I love my two children more than they will ever know.  Each one brings joy and excitement in what they like and dislike.  Broxton had Disney movies that were/are his favorite and now Savannah is coming more and more into her own as well.  She loves her a wide variety of characters, but it melts this mama's heart when she wants to play princess.  My brother gave her a dress up box of Princess clothes a few years ago and of course her theme for a birthday party was princess last year.  When Disney announced they were releasing an Anniversary Edition of Cinderella, I knew I wanted to add it to the collection.  To say we have watched it once or twice would be an understatement!  My little Cinderella!

Our house has been Marvel fans for years now.  We love the movies and while we may not be die hard fans like some, we are slowly becoming more so each day.  With the last few releases, we have gone back and watched other Marvel movies that we didn't see the first time around.  Now that Savannah watches more and more of the movies we watch, she also has come to love the characters.  I love that they have now introduced Captain Marvel, as she loves Captain America and now she has a female version of sorts.  (I keep telling her "girls can do anything, just put your mind to 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.

We have been trying to be better at going to the movies to see all of these wonderful movies that keep being released.  Thing is, it gets rather expensive when you buy the tickets and then what movie watching is complete without drinks and snacks?!?  We had totally planned on going to see Dumbo, but the weekend we got there to get tickets, we realized it had already left the theaters!  I honestly don't know who was more excited to see it... The kids, my mom or myself.  Either way, we were all so excited to learn that we would be getting it for review.  That just turned in to all of us watching the mail to see when it would show up.  We have been dealing with things at home (more on that later) so this was a great distraction for all of us and we were ready for this family movie night!  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 ...

One thing I love about living in a smaller town?  Community support.  There have been a few kids that have been sick down here and to say that the community supports them is an understatement.  We have worn yellow for a child, worn super hero shirts for another.  This was crazy sock day for World Down Syndrome Day.  I have told Broxton that although we might not know them personally, it shows that we are thinking and praying for them and their family.  I could not imagine, but it is nice to see the support around town!  

I just thought this was too cute.  Her little bowling shoes!  Do you bowl?  Are you good?  Last time we went, I actually started off with like 3 strikes in a row and was pretty impressed, then I got annoyed and from that point on my game went down the gutter, just like my ball.  (Mom Joke, see what I did there?!)  What do you do for fun on the weekends? 

There is a particular quote that has stayed with me lately...  "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.."  Those that know me, know that my kiddos are the most important thing to me.  I really will say that they are my everything and my biggest pride.  We might not do as much as we used to, but one thing for certain is we love, love, LOVE family movie night.  There really is nothing like getting snacks and drinks and then snuggling up to watch a movie with these guys!  I mean, we have plenty of furniture, but they like to sit as close as possible as if we only own 1 chair and that is all we are allowed to sit on! Recently, we were sent a Wonder Park DVD and family survival kit for review.  I know we planned on seeing it at the movies, but lets be real... It gets rather pricey if we want to go and see ALL the movies that are available.  Also, it isn't as "snuggly" in the theater as it is at home, if I am being totally honest!...

My little one worked so hard on this at dinner.  She did a great job, in my opinion, and she is only 3!  Maybe she will end up with artistic talent that seems to have skipped her mama!  Funny thing, way before Broxton and Savannah, LOCOS was my hang out spot in Atlanta, now as a mama, we have turned this location into one of our regular spots!
