***Disclosure: As a World Market Ambassador, I received complimentary product to facilitate my post. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** With a family of 5, we don't go to the movie theater too often. Not only is it expensive, I also constantly worry that Sophie and Xander will turn into Holy terrors in the theater. Especially Xander....I can just picture him growling at people who don't give him their candy, climbing over all the seats, and screaming bloody murder. Not to mention his "mean face". Whoever coined the phrase "Terrible 2's" needs to come up with something far more sinister sounding for 3 year olds, in my opinion!
So when we want to kick back and enjoy some cinematic magic together, we usually opt to have family movie night right here at home! I know. Anyone can watch a movie at home any time they'd like. There's nothing remarkable about that. But, with a little creativity and some international flair, even an at home movie night can be something completely memorable. Promise. I am going to show you how to turn an ordinary family activity into something that the kids will be bragging about to all of their friends. All you need is a trip to Cost Plus World Market! They have some great products to facilitate any entertaining needs you might have!

More often than not, these items are for the kids. They have come to realize that the mail, UPS, and FedEx showing up usually means they'll be getting something absolutely awesome. They also call the UPS guy, who has got to be old enough to be my father, Mommy's Boyfriend in Brown. Sheesh. Kids these days! So when I received a gorgeous, handmade scarf from Ruffle Tots & Women's Boutique, my 4 year old, Sophie, was not too happy to learn that this was not for her at all....It was for Mommy. How DARE Mommy get something beautiful for herself, right? She actually went as far as taking my scarf and hiding it behind a huge, heavy buffet cabinet to try and keep me from taking it to my bedroom, where no kids are allowed. Thankfully, we found it while cleaning, and it was unharmed since it was out of the reach of puppies and kittens! See, my Sophie is one smart cookie, so she knows when something is extra special. And of course, when super-special treasures arrive, she wants to keep them all to herself. (As stunning as this scarf is, I can't say I blame her!) Ruffle Tots & Women's Boutique is awesome, so if I were 4, I'd probably want to claim it as my own, too! Oh wait...You haven't heard of this great Etsy shop before?

Lakeshore Learning Offers Fun Indoor Activities to Help Survive Winter!2/12/2014 ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Here in Ohio, the weather has been brutal this winter. I love the snow, but the temperatures have been absolutely frigid. Way too cold to go play in most days, that's for sure! So of course, the kids have a bit of cabin fever. This often results in Xander trying to annoy and bother Sophie. Not fun for them, and certainly not fun for me.
I have been trying to keep them occupied with fun indoor activities and lots of dramatic and creative play. Arts and crafts, storytime, and of course, great puppet shows with our Puppet Theater and Let's Talk! Community Helpers Puppets from Lakeshore Learning! |
