Camp Blockbuster Program Review and Giveaway 3 Winners!

Blockbuster has been a video store my husband and I have loved going to since we have been married. We love seeing what new movies come out and rewatching favorites. When a few of our local stores closed we were so sad! We wanted our son to have the chance to be in awe of a movie store experience and not just get one out of a machine. Machines can be convenience yes in a hurry but being able to pick up the movie and turn it over to read the back of it is fun for us. My son LOVES to be able to go to the kids section of our local Blockbuster and pick a movie he sees that he likes. We even have cool bean bags in the kids section at our Blockbuster.

We have a monthly Movie Pass to Blockbuster since we love to watch movies. It saves us a ton of money to be able to rent as many as we want in a month for one low fee. With the Movie Pass we only get to rent one at a time. Sometimes this means picking between our movie or one for our son.

After learning about the Camp Blockbuster Kids Movie Pass we were happy to learn he can  have his own pass!

My son was so excited about his cool new backpack and movie pass. I asked him if I could see it and he held it up and said "Cheese" lol

Camp Blockbuster is offering families a new and creative form of entertainment as  kids make their way back to school and gear up for the holidays. The Camp Blockbuster Kids Pass is for use in-store and allows for 1 movie rental at a time from the kids section (valued at $.99) at a monthly charge of $4.99 – it’s a great convenience – you never have to worry about late fees. This new Kids Pass offering is also available in 1 month, 6 month and 1 year gift cards making for the PERFECT holiday stocking stuffer or a simple way to bring cheer to kids year around!

I think the pass would be a great way to save money on kids entertainment. With the holidays coming the Kids Pass will be perfect for the classic Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas movies. I know of a few we plan to rent like Charlie Brown, Shrek Halloween and Polar Express! I love to be able to snuggle up with my son and watch a movie at night. When its cold and rainy out this fall and winter we can rent something like Veggie Tales or Sesame Street to have fun while learning indoors.

The first movie we watched is Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs while eating Angry Bird Fruit Gummies. I had a blast hanging out with my son watching a movie.

My son loves to "read" the movie inserts. He wore his Camp Blockbuster stickers all day and put them on his workbook.

Peter Pan: Diamond Edition coming to Blu-Ray

 I have loved watching Peter Pan since I was a kid. My sister and I would watch it with our little brother all the time. Its a magical story that I am happy to see coming to Blu-ray. I have a DVD copy that I watch with my son but I would love to have the Blu-ray. To me Blu-ray movies really are better, so clear and crisp.

Join mischievous Peter Pan, the young boy who refuses to grow up, his hot-tempered pixie pal, Tinker Bell and the Darling children as they soar away to the mysterious Never-Never land where childhood lasts forever in this magical, musical adventure!

Peter Pan: Diamond Edition will be available for a limited time on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy!

But wait. Am I even a dog person?

Meet Chewie!!!

~ By Sam ~


I have never thought of myself as a "dog person." We had dogs in and out of our lives growing up, they were never long term though. My Mom was so busy with 5 kids that adding a dog to the mix always seemed overwhelming to her and to our lives. I believe you are a dog person or your not. My husband's family had dogs when he was growing up that lived for 15+ years. They are dog people. I have questioned whether or not I am a dog person. I like dogs, I want my kids to have a dog growing up but with three small children a dog was not in our immediate future... Until now.

It kind of happened suddenly. My little brother (who's 25 years old) text me two weeks ago telling me that he was going to start working more and more hours at work and he was worried about his 5 month old puppy.

*Side Note* You see my brother is a bachelor living in an apartment in Seattle and got a Boston Terrier/Bulldog puppy. He was only working four hours a day and has a roommate that would help out with the pup when he was gone.

Ok, now back to the text I got. He tells me that he is going to have to figure out what to do with his puppy named Chewie. Can you say Star Wars nerd? Just kidding love you bro :) Anyways he is all upset that he will have to give him up and doesn't think it's fair for Chewie if he has to be gone all day. I feel bad for him and Chewie (who I had never even met yet) and tell him he will figure it out.

A few minutes later the next text I get is, "Do you want him?"

My thoughts: Ummmmm what? A dog? Here at my house with my crazy life? A puppy who has lived a nice quiet life in the city with two bachelors and no backyard, small children or 24/7 noise?

There is a bit of awkward silence (as much as there can be with a text) and suddenly there is a picture of sweet little Chewie. That sneaky brother of mine sent a picture!

My thoughts: Oh dear, he is cute. And the boys would really love him. And JJ was just talking about wanting a dog. And the poor guy would have to go to strangers if we didn't take him. And oh dear, he is cute. 

So I text him back that I will have to talk to the hubby.

My thoughts: Surely hubby will say no. We are already knee deep in kids and a puppy is just like adding another baby. Surely he will say no and I won't have to be the bad guy!

I thought wrong. The first question my hubby asks me is how big is he? Oh my he is not saying no! We are doomed. As the day goes on there are many texts between me, my little brother and the husband. And as you can see by the end of the day we had a dog. The next day we took the boys to my brothers apartment in Seattle to pick up their new dog. It was exciting and special. The boys were ecstatic and my little brother was happy he was going to stay in the family. My brother knew that we would love him and he could come and visit whenever he wanted. It has been almost two weeks now and things are going really well. He is just as sweet as can be, loves the boys and is even good with the baby. He is blending nicely into our family and we just love him. So maybe I am a dog person after all? Or maybe not, it may still be too early to tell (wink wink.)

They're Here.......

Did you see that movie when you were younger?!?! 

So scary back then lol. So ok its not the Poltergeist but the Pumpkin Spice drinks at Starbucks!

This means it really is Fall! The summer is gone and its time to get ready for Halloween and Thanksgiving. 

Yippy!

Have you had a Pumpkin Spice Flavored coffee drink yet?

Wholesale Costume Club Jedi Robe Review

Halloween is coming! So excited! This year my son can dress up as something he picks out himself. It seems to change from week to week though! Good thing we are getting great prices for costumes online at Wholesale Costume Club. My husband and I like Star Wars, we are Jedi Geeks! When I saw the Kids Deluxe Jedi Robe costume a few months ago I thought how cute would my son be as a little Jedi. My son would not wear it at first since he wanted the sword that was on the front of the costume picture, so I do recommend buying the sword too! Once he put it on he looked so cute! The robe is the only part that comes with the costume so be sure to look for and buy the other part of the costume. The robe is cute though and I can see us using for more than Halloween.

Kids Deluxe Jedi Robe

The high quality, heavy weave of this full-length, hooded Deluxe JEDI robe makes it perfect for the young JEDI in training. Anonymity and protection is paramount while learning to take on the members of the Galaxy, chief among them, Darth Vader. This robe can be combined with a variety of other costumes to help you achieve the ultimate JEDI costume appearance. The Deluxe JEDI robe does not include the light saber. That has to be purchased separately. Considering, all the accessories it is clear that this costume is great! The Kids Deluxe Jedi Robe is an authentic accessory that will enhance any Star Wars costume. You'll show your prowess with this accessory and be prepared that respect you'll get when they see you are a Jedi master with this costume. This is for any Star Wars fan who wants to make their costume better.

Available Sizes: Small,Medium,Large


 My son has informed that he does want to be something else for Halloween this year so we will use this robe for our annual trip to the Renaissance Faire.

You can see online all the cool costumes for kids and adult at Wholesale Costume Club.
