I am super happy that once again Marcus Theatres is offering the Kids Rule movie promotion.  On Wednesdays and Thursdays you can take the kids to see a movie for only $3 plus you get a free popcorn. The movies are usually around 10 am. This promotion has been going on for a few years and my kids love it. It used to be only $2. You would get a soda and popcorn. It is still a pretty good deal. 
It looks like the only states participating are Iowa, Wisconsin, Illiniois, Minnesota, …

We recently felt the urge to watch a funny movie. A movie that would not teach us anything, have a complicated storyline or scare the heck out of me.  We decided on The Hangover. From the commercials I was cracking up so I was crossing my fingers that it would be good. I was not dissappointed. First off let me say this movie is for adults only!  No kids allowed. This movie had both my husband and I laughing nonstop. I mean we had tears in our eyes. The basic storyline …

Today is one of those days where I have lots of thoughts running through my head and need to get them out. Perfect for Random Thoughts Tuesday! Thanks for the reminder, Momspective!
Twitter is down for an hour. They are doing maintenance. I keep checking back every five minutes in case it comes back early. Funny right? Oh yeah, I can never remember how to spell maintenance.
Kristen from An Ordinary Life finally had her baby, Brooklin. I am so happy for her. I love this name and the way she spells it. …

What do you do? When you feel your child is being more than strong willed? When you have tried ever single method anyone has taken the time to suggest. For the last few years I have tried it all. Time outs, punishments, grounding, taking stuff away, rewarding good behavior, yelling, directly asking what is the matter. Everything. I just can not get my 11 year old to listen to me.  It started out with the eye rolling and sucking of the teeth. There were even the smart remarks under her breath. I …

Ok I am behind on my Disney posts and still trying to get back into the groove of things. It is hard. I was feeling a down this past weekend and just in a little funk. When I logged on to Twitter and I found out that Christie talked about me a little on her blog. It made me cry. It was so totally unexpected.  I mean all of the ladies I met during the Disney Mocha Moms weekend are amazing. I have them on my sidebar so check them out if you get …

I don’t have any immediate family in the military, but when I heard about this contest I thought I would share. AllAmericanDirect.com, is launching their second ‘Laptops for Flat Tops’ contest. Military families will have a chance to win one laptop with an embedded Webcam (for the family) and an additional Webcam (for the soldier). Two families who have an immediate family member serving in any branch of the U.S. military overseas will win. Isn’t that a cool prize? What a great way to stay in touch with loved ones. …

This week we decided to have our movie night on Monday. We usually watch movies during the middle week but wanted to try something different. So this week we popped in “The Spirit“. I could not clearly remember what the movie was supposed to be about but I had to put it into my queue for some reason. It might have been the fact that Samuel Jackson is it. I thought this movie would have some action in it but there was none in my opinion. This movie could not …

Oh my goodness does my body hurt. But in a good way. Yesterday was the first day I used the EA Sports Active personal trainer. I am taking the 30 Day Challenge. I might have overdid it. The first time I did it was yesterday morning. I was only able to work out a little over 15 minutes. I still got a good workout. I was sweating my butt off! I got the energy to do a workout again around two in the afternoon. This time I picked out what activities …
