Do you have any gamers in your family? I have to admit, my entire family is basically obsessed with gaming. The hubby likes the more grown-up, "man games". My kids, however, are absolutely addicted to their Nintendo games. We have an original Wii, and several games for it, and the kiddos all have Nintendo 3DS XLs. Well, they DID, until Xander's broke. Up until very recently, Sophie and Xander had to share one, and oh, battles ensued....But that is a different post entirely! 

Anyway, my kiddos absolutely love classic Nintendo games like Mario Bros. and all of the related games, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, and more. One thing I've always appreciated about Nintendo is that they offer games that are "tame enough" for younger kids, but that are still tons of fun for adults. We've even played Mario Party games at adult parties and get-togethers. (Try it! It's a blast!) 

So I think it's safe to say, we're definitely a family of gamers here. 

Recently, we got the amazing opportunity to check out the NEW Nintendo 3DS XL. This gaming system is much like the 3DS XL we all know and love, but with some exciting improvements that enhance your gaming experience. Sounds pretty cool, right?

As parents are gearing up for Halloween, did you know that according to the National Retail Federation, Americans will spend $2.08 billion on candy this year. As if that isn’t alarming enough, recent reports estimate that on Halloween, the average American child will collect in the range of 3,500-7,000 calories of candy!

Coined ‘America’s Green Nutritionist’, Kate Geagan, a frequent guest on morning news and talk shows, has helped millions of Americans fall in love with healthier, greener food choices that powerfully nourish their lives.  An award-winning dietitian and the author of Go Green Get Lean: Trim Your Waistline with the Ultimate Low-Carbon Footprint Diet(Rodale), Kate helps families thrive in America’s food landscape. Kate, who is also a mother of two, offers the following strategies to help your family survive the Halloween junk food frenzy and suggests insight to nutritional swapping. 

1.      Spell out HALLOWEEN and hand out healthy snack packs such as Earth's Best (Sesame Street) Organic Letter of the Day Vanilla Cookies. Candy won’t crowd out the healthy foods if kids are intrigued with the tasty alphabet treat.

2.      Who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? KIDSAFE Cookies are a perfect Halloween “treat” in its own little package.  
​
3.      Fill them up with healthy snacks first!  Foods packed with fiber enriched whole grains like Elmo and Big Bird shapes of Crunchin' Crackers and Grahams in flavors of cinnamon, cheddar and veggie digest slowly and provide your child with a steady stream of energy. 
​
4.   DELICIOUS drinks that are made from real fruit juice purees – perfect treat to go with any snack.  

5.   Hand out non-food treats to the trick-or-treaters that come to your door – fake vampire teeth, glo sticks or other fun Halloween goodies.      
​
Kate can further discuss Healthy Halloween treats to appease kids.  She can reveal the scariest  snacks out there due to fat/sugar etc. as well as offer healthy alternatives to ‘trick’ kids into thinking they are enjoying a ‘treat’.  As well as ensure parents that their children don’t get a sugar rush this Halloween.

Disney Alice Through the Looking Glass Available Now On Disney Blu-Ray, DVD, DMA and More #Sponsored

Are there any Alice in Wonderland fans out there? My family loves this classic story....From books by Lewis Carroll, to the classic, animated Disney film, to the newer, live-action adventures by Disney, we just can't get enough of these magical tales. 

There's a lot to be excited about, as Alice Through the Looking Glass is now available to own in various formats. This story is an exciting extension to the Alice stories we all know and love. In this film, Alice has to go back to Underland to help save the wild and whimsical Mad Hatter. 

Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” forever changed the landscape of children’s literature; Disney’s animated “Alice in Wonderland” embraced this fantasy world filled with peculiar characters; and Tim Burton directed a visually-stunning, live-action film that mesmerized audiences worldwide. On Oct. 18, 2016, the enchanting and beloved franchise that has captivated generations of adventurers continues when Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” arrives home on Digital HD, Blu-ray™, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand.

In “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” the all-star cast from the 2010 blockbuster is back with Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter who’s desperately searching for his family; Anne Hathaway as Mirana, the kind, mild-mannered White Queen; Helena Bonham Carter as Iracebeth, the short-tempered, big-headed Red Queen; and Mia Wasikowska as Alice, the heroine at the heart of the story. Sacha Baron Cohen joins the ensemble as Time, a magical being that is part human, part clock, and the late Alan Rickman—to whom the film is dedicated—is the voice of Absolem, the blue Monarch butterfly who metamorphosed from the blue caterpillar “Alice in Wonderland.”

Blogger Viewers Receive 15% Discount Code on www.ShopPRI: Treats15 
​Plus, FREE Shipping! 
Now that Trick-Or-Treat is right around the corner, many thoughts are focused on getting the best sweet treats for our families. This is one of the few times a year I let my kids go cuckoo for sweets. I do try to supplement, or balance, the consumption of processed sweets with healthier alternatievs, like the Manuka Honey products from PRI. 

Pacific Resources International has been delivering Manuka Honey beauty and health products to Americans for over 25 years. (This includes candy and treats!) Manuka is the gold standard for honey and is produced exclusively in New Zealand from bees and flowers that are environmentally protected. Enjoy these safe and soothing products every day and feel great using them!

I am a HUGE fan of PRI, and of Manuka Honey in general. Domestic honey has been in the news lately, and not for very good reasons. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about my Manuka Honey, since it comes directly from beautiful New Zealand, and is completely pure and clean. 

Recently, I was sent a fabulous assortment of PRI products that will help me keep the kids' sweet tooths satisfied, naturally! I would love to tell you a bit about each of these products, so keep reading for more info. Trust me, you will absolutely love what they have to offer!

Halloween is right around the corner, folks! We couldn't be more excited. This year, Sophie and Xander have ditched the cutesie costumes and are going as terrifying creatures of the night. Xander is going to be a "Zombie Reaper", whatever that is, and Sophie is going to be a dark, Gothic Vampiress. Honestly, I still think they're adorable....I won't tell them this, though. It would crush them. After all, the goal is to be scary, not cute. 

Anyway, the kids are super-stoked about Trick-or-Treating this year. They want to show off their costumes, and of course, they want candy. Lots and lots of candy. 

For parents and folks that are looking for an organic, non-GMO alternative to traditional Halloween treats, I'd love to tell you about the delicious Peanut Butter Cups from Justin's. 

Justin's products are made from organic, non-GMO ingredients, and are loaded with protein and nutty deliciousness. I love the fact that these products don't contain artificial dyes or flavors, and are preservative-free. That's right, folks. When choosing 
Justin's Nut Butters, you are tasting only the best that Mother Nature has to offer, without any added junk.

With Fall now in full swing, everyone seems to be obsessed with everything Pumpkin Spice. I have to be completely honest here, but I really don't care for Pumpkin in general....So while everyone else munches on Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Muffins, Pumpkin Rolls, all while sipping on Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I am left searching for other, more palatable seasonal snacks. 

I have always loved trail mixes. The mixture of salty nuts, sweet fruits, and savory spices has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Let's face it, though: Not all trail mixes are created equal. Some are bland, boring, and leave a lot to be desired. I prefer my snack mixes a little more....Inspired. 

Thankfully, the folks at Sahale Snacks agree! They have created an amazing line of snack mixes that are not only made from the highest quality ingredients, they also come in flavors that are globally-inspired. Balsamic Almonds? Thai Cashews? Maple Pecans? Delish!
