As a Fox Entertainment Insider Ambassador I have been provided with materials to facilitate this post and giveaway. All opinions are my own!


The Book of Life is easily one of my favorite animated films of 2014 and all time. After seeing it last year in theater with my daughter I knew it had to be a part of our collection.  This breathtaking animated comedy has a unique dazzling visual style unlike anything youโ€™ve seen before. It’s colorful, vibrant, eye-catching, entertaining, and the music is incredible. The soundtrack hasn’t left my car since we purchased it shortly after the move premiered. I love it just as much as my kiddo does!

Furry Monster Donut Bites


We’re creeping closer to Halloween as each day passes and I can’t help but feel like the month of October is going much faster than I would like it to. Can we just slow down? I still have haunted houses to visit, pumpkins to carve, and a tub of candy corn to gobble up. I wouldn’t mind if we extended the celebration and extra month or two, would you? Halloween is just too much fun to only be one night of the year!

How To Become A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlette

In case it hasn’t been too obvious, I am kind of in love with all-things Halloween. There is no denying that my family and I are excited for the month of October. It’s full of so many fun things: visiting pumpkin patches at the local farmer’s market, decorating our home with ghosts & goblins, baking spooky desserts, and shopping for the perfect costume. There are quite a few exciting things to look forward to. Plus Halloween really does kick off the fall season and gets us all in the mood to tap into our inner ghoulie! Adult or child, it’s the one time of year you can dress up and parade around in a silly costume while collecting candy. But in order to ensure your pillow sack gets stuffed with yummy sweets, one must have a costume to trick-or treat in! It’s kinda a Halloween essential, ya know?

6 Ways To Make Fruit Fun In Your Kid’s Lunchbox

A well balanced lunch box plays an important role in the quality of your child’s day. Not only does it give them energy and help them focus but it also provides parents with the opportunity to make healthy food choices exciting. When packing a lunch for your kids you have to remember two things- (1) If they don’t like it, they won’t eat it and (2) It’s okay to think outside the lunchbox. In fact, they are more likely to eat what you pack them if you find a way to make the food appealing and fun. For the most part Toodie is no longer a picky eater that fights me on trying new things but sometimes I have to tap into my inner creativity to sneak the fruits & veggies in. Lately I have noticed her lunchbox returns home with a sifted through fruit salad. The watermelon is always missing in action but the other fruits like grapes, blueberries, and pineapple are left behind.
