Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure DVD Release on 4/19

Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure DVD Release on 4/19 is only a few days away! I watched the DVD and it was cute. Lots of music and Dogs! My son was dancing to the music and shouting "DOG" every time he saw Sharpay's dog. Sharpay is spoiled and has to get use to the life on her own no maid, no chef and no money. Her dog is not allowed in place she was going to live so she has to make new plans. ( that happens to us all in life, we make plans and the world changes them for us!) There is a love interest in this movie of Sharpay's moms friends son who is a amateur film maker. I will not say too much more as to not spoil the movie for anyone. Its really cute and one of those movies where there is a happy ending! Disney movies are always great!

Here are some fun facts about the movie behind the scenes:

THERE WERE NO DOGGIE DISASTERS!

“Thankfully, there weren’t any doggy mishaps on the set of Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure,” giggles actor Bradley Steven Perry. The dogs were really good on the set. They were really well trained and well behaved. They were a joy to work with!”

ASHLEY CELEBRATED HER BIRTHDAY ON THE SHARPAY SET!

“It’s my birthday on July 2, but I had to work it last year because I was busy shooting Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure,” reveals Ashley. “I ended up celebrating it on the set, which was really cool! The cast and crew decorated my trailer and we had some amazing birthday cake. It was definitely a birthday to remember!” 

THE NEW MOVIE IS VERY DIFFERENT TO HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!

“Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure isn’t a musical, but there are definitely musical elements to the movie,” reveals Ashley. “Sharpay gets to perform some great musical routines, which were a lot of fun to work on. Trust me… You’re going to love it!”

ASHLEY’S MOM JOINED HER ON THE SET!

“Whenever I had time off from the movie, I would hang out with my mom,” says Ashley. “I was so happy that she came along to Toronto, where we shot the movie. I love my mom! She was always helping out whenever she could!”

THE NEW DVD IS CRAMMED WITH EXTRAS!

Sometimes the box is as good as the item inside

My son loves it when the mail man, UPS or FedEx guys comes to our house. He claps his little hands when he sees a box. He doesn't want what is inside he wants to hold the box, stand on it, or smash it. Its so cute! My sister and nephew have used the term "special delivery" for when we get stuff to review. We now call it that in our house. I was in the office the other day and my husband yelled to me "Special Delivery" I came out of the room and my little guy was holding the UPS box waiting for me to let him destroy it! He loves the boxes that are big enough to climb into. Its such a cute phases when they just want the box, I will savor until the time when he is big enough to tell me he wants an XBOX!! lol

Bright Starts Convertible Cart Cover Review

I have tried my hardest not to be a germ a phobe. My husband tells me all the time now to not freak out so much. Before my son was born I was way worse than I am now. I try to go with the flow a bit more. I did not buy a cart cover when my son was first born since I thought there is no way I would ever put him in one of those carts. My plan was to keep him in his stroller while I shop. Well motherhood has taught me that what I thought before I was a Mom is nothing of what the reality of being a mom is!! My son hates being in the stroller in a store. Outside or at the park he loves it but in the store he wanted to sit in the cart. The first time I let him was when it was pouring down rain and there was no way I would be able to get him in his stroller without him getting soaked.

I was a bit worried since the first thing he did was bite the cart handle that I am sure hundreds of people had touched. Well I did not let it bug me I figured and my husband pointed out, my mom raised 5 kids without a cart cover and we were fine! But after about two months of cart riding he did lick the handle and within an hour of returning home he was sick! I blamed the cart, I am sure it could have been something else and a cold here and there is good for his immune system. I still wanted a cart cover for the times when I think he needs one and for if he is sick he wont spread his germs all over the cart. I did not want a regular cart cover. Some of them seem very big and not as cute as I wanted. I found the Bright Starts Convertible Cart Cover and it is perfect for what I wanted. It is colorful and functions as a mini play mat too.

The Bright Starts cart cover also works for most restaurant high chairs. I like this function since my little boy has the tendency to wipe his hands all over any high chair I put him in. The cover made it easier to just pick up the cover toss it into a bag and wash it when we got home. It held up great in the wash and its easy to roll up and toss into the backseat of the car. When I rolled it out as a mat he jumped on it and started doing sit ups. He cracks me up with his workouts! You can buy this cute cart cover at Target, Toys R Us and Walmart for $19.99.

Tumbleweed Tantrum

The first time I saw my son do what I now call the "Tumbleweed Tantrum" I laughed. I was really shocked he could get so upset over anything to just flop onto the floor and lay all the way out and roll over from his tummy to back over and over. He has been doing this for about a week and I am worried he may get hurt if he does this in public. I know its normal kids throw fits but oh my he rolls around like a wild tumbleweed! I have done the just ignore it, the talk to him to see what he is upset about and the pick him up and comfort him. Well he is just as mad and at times even more mad if I address him and what has made him mad. It seems it just he is either tired or hungry and something minor has made him ticked! So for now I will offer him his giraffe ( his best friend!) or his juice and he seems to mellow out. It just shocking to now see my sweet little Bubba get so mad he tumbles around about it. My husband wants to capture it on film so we can remember one day the CUTE way he used to get mad, as I am sure it won't be as cute when hes big lol. All these emotions in someone so small is amazing to see.
What funny things has your little one done when they get mad?

Scrubbing Bubbles and Lemon Pledge Review

 Since my clean freak days are out the window now being a mom.  I realize when I do take the time to clean it needs to be with products that work without much effort. I have tried to avoid harsh chemicals when I can but sometimes it seems things such as the bathtub will not get clean. I tried the Scrubbing Bubbles Mega Shower Foamer and was not impressed at all! It smelled really bad and I still hard to scrub the tub just as much as with organic cleaners. For me not worth the chemicals to use. But I really liked the Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel. It was fun to use, odd but for me it was lol. I put two of them in the toilet just so I could use the mini wand dispenser twice! It actually works too! They are a little gel pack that with each flush it cleans the bowl. I do have to say for houses with little ones you will need a toilet lid lock since I am sure they can be pulled off the inside of the toilet.

I also test some Lemon Pledge. I have not used Lemon Pledge in over 10 years! Its something I really forgot about as a brand. The lemon smell brought back fond memories of my mom cleaning her beautiful hutch with all the picture frames on it. My sister and I would help sometimes but mainly watch. Lemon Pledge seems classic, however I did not like that it came in an aerosol can. Maybe they can make a spray bottle version.
I loved the smell of lemon! Its funny how a smell can be associated with the thought of clean.




We were also sent some new scents from Glade. I put the Crisp Waters plugin in the bathroom and it was pleasant. I have to have subtle scents or it gives me a migraine. The candle I placed in my office was Sparkle Spring. I did not light it though since I can smell it without using it. I am sure other people who do not get migraines would enjoy using it as a candle. It is a nice scent.
