Disney FROZEN is my hands-down, all-time favorite family movie.  Ever. Replacing White Christmas and Parent Trap.  Favorite. Ever.  I enjoyed everything about this movie.  Four times in the theater!  Seriously.  Our house has become a treasure of everything FROZEN, from the FROZEN DVD, toys, soundtrack, posters, and even the sheet music.  When I found out from #collectivebias Walmart would be featuring special FROZEN toys for the release … [Read more...]

That's what I used to think. Why run? If no one is chasing me, I'm not going to run. I remember different times when a bus was coming, or I had to catch a train to work and I would walk. It is not worth getting sweaty, out-of-breath, or tired! It's hard to run. Why would anyone want to do that? It's bad for your knees, it's hard on your body, blah, blah, blah. Then, as I wrote about in a prior post (How Disney Change My Life - … [Read more...]
Sometimes fun things with your kids just happen organically. You plan one thing and it turns into something even better! That's what happened to us yesterday. I had planned to go out to breakfast with my daughter and my mom and then shop at Walmart for some toys based on the new release from Disney, Planes. And add to our collection of Cars toys because the two go so well together. If you haven't seen the movie, Planes yet, it was … [Read more...]
