Brave 3D- My thoughts

How many of you have gone to see Brave?? I took my daughter and her friend to go see it as it was on our summer bucket list! :) So what did I think of the film??

I am going to be honest...I enjoyed it but I think Tangled is better. There I said it...needed to get that off my chest. :) The plot reminds me of Pocahontas...there were several similarities.

Brave had a very neat story line about a girl chasing her dreams but hurting her mother and others trying to chase it. She gets mixed up in bad news when she met a witch who she thinks will help her solve her problems. This can be applied to our every day lives simply by reminding ourselves that the enemy will try to get a foothold in any way possible just like the witch!

Within the story there are 2 bears and my 4 year old and her 6 year old friend both were a bit frightened but they handled it well! I do think that some of the story went over my 4 year old's head but she still seemed to enjoy it by the way she was talking about it on the way home.

The main thing I took away from the movie is communication! Yep good ole' communication!! The mother/daughter relationship at the beginning of the movie is no where near what I want for my daughter and I. I pray that my daughter will allow me to help guide her in finding the right spouse for her, but I also do not want to dictate every thing for her either. I know God has big plans for her so I want to encourage her in those but not make things a chore for her. I hope other mom's out there see the movie and agree with me that our role is so much more then what we see at the beginning of the movie. I want to find the talents God has given my daughter and help her grow in them! :) Can I get an AMEN! :)

Overall, I will probably see this movie again because I know my daughter will want to watch it again, and I do recommend it for you and your children. :) Please do not forget about the bear scenes, or at least prepare your kids for the little bit of scariness.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video: "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review: Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine. I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
