Win $25 Gift Card, Pfizer Products, and 20th Century Fox Movies

Sick days stink, for adults or kids. Well, especially for kids.  Kids don’t understand really that with time, some medicine, and rest, they will feel better.  We all remember growing up the odd sick day here or there, being taken care of by Mom or Dad, and the simple things that made us feel better.  Of course, we could all use a few extra tips and tricks.  There are some tricks I have found with our little guy.

kids cold medicine

  1. Baby him- he’s sick and is acting like it.  Give them some extra attention and care during this sensitive time. Yes, they can be annoying. This too shall pass.
  2. Sleep-  even if you have to get them to lay down on the couch in front of the TV with their favorite movie, rest is key.
  3. Liquids-  get them to drink lots of water to keep their body flushing out the bad stuff and cycling through to the good stuff that will fight off the germs.

One great way to keep your sick kid resting and feeling better is with a movie and the proper medicine.  20th Century Fox has some great kid friendly and adult friendly movies for these times including (Ice Age: Collision Course, The Sandlot, and The Peanuts Movie.  When pairing this with some pediatric Pfizer products, like Advil, Robitussin, and Dimetapp, your kid will be better before you know it.  With products for just about any symptom Pfizer is there to save the day and 20th Century Fox is there to distract and make giggles the emphasis instead of sniffles.

You can also get 10% off Pfizer Pediatric products and select 20th Century Fox DVDs (Ice Age: Collision Course, The Sandlot, The Peanuts Movie) at Target valid through February 20, 2017 through Cartwheel. Haven’t tried it? Now is the perfect time.

One of you can win a $25 Target gift card, Pfizer Pediatric products [Children’s Advil® Suspension, Grape, Children’s Robitussin® Cough & Chest Congestion, Children’s Dimetapp® Cough & Cold] and (1) 20th Century Fox DVD (such as Ice Age: Collision Course, The Sandlot, The Peanuts Movie) by entering the RC form below.

Win a Copy of @secretlifeofpets #TheSecretLifeOfPets #PetsPack

Disclosure- This post is in partnership with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

pets movie

Have you see the movie “The Secret Life of Pets” yet? I took my son while it was still in theaters, and we both enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be another movie that you, as a parent, sat through because you love your kid- but it was super cute, and I even laughed out loud a few times. I’m all for shows and movies everyone can watch (and that go beyond simple “endurance” as a parent). If you’ve not seen this one yet- do. It’s fun. And it has a great message too, without being at all preachy.

It’s available in stores everywhere as of December 6, so you can go get your copy any time you want.  (It’s a great holiday gift, as well.) Here is a trailer of the movie, in case you haven’t seen any yet.

My son was eleted when the movie came- and he was even more excited when he saw it came with a Secret Life of Pets poster as well. He even got a hat and stickers- perfect for this holiday season. He (of course) immediately popped the movie in. We also watched it together over the weekend when daddy was around.

Neither he nor I had a favorite character, they were all fun. Max, of course, was great- but there would be no movie without Duke or Gidget, and Pops is too much. It’s hard to talk about why we love the characters without giving away the movie- best just to watch it. Another reason to get a copy of the movie is that The Secret Life of Pets DVD or Blue Ray comes with 3 Mini Movies as well as features nearly an hour of bonus content, including three hilarious mini-movies: the all-new Norman Television and Weenie PLUS Mower Minions which debuted in theaters.

pet stickers

The main premise of the movie is “Ever wonder what your pets do when you’re not home?” Find out what these pets are up to when their owners head out. The same people who created Despicable Me made this one, so you know it will be funny.

One of the reasons the movie was so funny? The all-star voice cast had to have a hand in it, I think.  This includes Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, Lake Bell, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress, Bobby Moynihan, Steve Coogan, and Albert Brooks.

We received the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Target Exclusive featuring 4 pages of decals. The combo pack comes with the Blu-ray,  DVD, and a Digital copy. Plus, you can decorate your room, car, office, laptop, or wall with 4 pages of decals featuring main characters and their funny personalities.

We recently sat down for a family night in, and gave the movie a watch. My son had been wanting to see it. He loved it, and it was not as bad as I thought it would be (look, as an adult, not every kid movie is up my alley, ok? Let’s just be honest.) There were parts I was amused by, and even though it was coney, it was cute. He has watched it quite a few times. He has watched the movie a few times now- mostly with our pets.

nine lives movie

While the movie didn’t get the best reviews with critics, I have to tell you it was better then I thought it was be. It wasn’t one of those “painful to watch” kid movies. My son really enjoyed it, and your kids will as well, if they are cat lovers. It was silly, it was schtick-y, it has all that physical humor kids like- it was cute.

The cats liked it as well- but how couldn’t she, right? They also loved all the cat goodies that 9 Lives sent for them to play with- so they can “get into the movie” themselves.

Too bad the bowls didn’t say “Mr. Fuzzypants” like the kitty in the movie  🙂 My son loved that name. See, the cheese- factor goes over super well with the kiddos, LOL.

WIN Ice Age: Collision Course #ScratInSpace #CollisionCourse

Have your kids seen the new movie, Ice Age: Collision Course, yet? My son watched it over and over as soon as the DVD arrived- he really enjoys this series.

ice age

Scrat’s epic pursuit of the elusive acorn catapults him into the universe where he accidentally sets off a series of cosmic events that transform and threaten the Ice Age World. To save themselves, Sid, Manny, Diego, and the rest of the herd must leave their home and embark on a quest full of comedy and adventure, traveling to exotic new lands and encountering a host of colorful new characters.

new ice age movie

The cast includes returning favorites as well as some new voices, including Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Seann William Scott, Josh Peck, Simon Pegg, Keke Palmer, Jennifer Lopez, Queen Latifah, Adam Devine, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Max Greenfield, Jessie J, Nick Offerman, Wanda Sykes, Stephanie Beatriz, Michael Strahan, Melissa Rauch, and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

We had a great family night in watching the movie. My son likes Scrat the best (always chasing that acorn) and Sid as well, while I prefer cantankerous Manny.  He’s just being practical, after all. He was very excited when he saw the new movie had arrived, and it came on a good day- he wasn’t feeling very well, and had stayed home from school that day.

family movie

He snuggled up under the Ice Age blanket, which was super soft and fluffy, and got ready for the show to start. I was hoping he would nod off, but no such luck, lol. My son says his favorite parts include “the crystals”, but I won’t say any more just in case you have not seen the movie yet- no spoilers, LOL. You also get to meet the daughter of Manny and his wife, who has a surprise of her own to shock (and upset) her dad with.

Nothing sets off the minds of curious, passionate kids quite like space.

My son loved checking out the night sky himself to see what Scrat saw- are your kids at all interested in space or the constellations? He was so excited with the new Smithsonian telescope- it was an upgrade from his last one. He got some ideas of where to look from his new star gazing book as well. What’s not to love about National Geographic?

TROLLS – In Theaters November 4

From the creators of Shrek comes DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls, a smart, funny and irreverent comedy about the search for happiness, and just how far some will go to get it. This hilarious film transports audiences to a colorful, wondrous world populated by the overly optimistic Trolls, who have a constant dance in their step and a song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomachs.

After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy (Kendrick), the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious curmudgeonly Branch (Timberlake) set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Together, this mismatched duo embarks on a rescue mission full of adventure and mishaps – trying to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.

Utilizing music to further the film’s narrative, the Trolls soundtrack is produced by Justin Timberlake and features five original songs including songs by Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, Anna Kendrick and Gwen Stefani, in addition to a number of classic hits from the ‘60s through the ‘80s.

Starring: Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Russell Brand, Zooey Deschanel, Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, James Corden, Kunal Nayyar, Ron Funches, Icona Pop, Quvenzhané Wallis, with John Cleese and Gwen Stefani

Directed By: Mike Mitchell; Co-Director: Walt Dohrn

Produced By: Gina Shay

3D Coin Art Review and Giveaway!

Use Your Spare Change to Create a Work of Art!

3D Coin Art Is Fun For All Ages

We had so much fun with this flag! This might be considered a toy, but really it is also a learning experience and a piece of artwork, all rolled into one! My son really enjoyed looking around the house for loose change, and in his piggy bank, to fill this piece of art up!

Saving loose is a great way to learn money management and how important saving money really is, even if it is ONLY coins! Those coins can really add up! This 3D Coin Art takes something we should all already be doing and makes it extra fun!  3D Coin Art™ by New York City-based NSI International Inc. is an innovative way to create amazing 3D works of art out of coins. It’s a puzzle AND a bank all in one! Your kids can create a model that is built with spare change!

3D Coin Art Is Fun For All Ages

There are two really neat pieces of artwork to choose from either the American Flag or the Empire State Building. The American Flag is awesome and I would also love to see the Empire State Building put together. Can you imagine how beautiful that would be? Seems weird to say “beautiful” in relation to coins, but I think that is what it would be.

We did not have enough change to fill the entire thing right off the bat – so we are really looking forward to filling it up completely. Right now, my son it displayed even without the full set of coins and it looks great!

They make it SUPER simple to fill the flag from start to finish!

Fill the coin wells using the Easy To Follow diagrams!

Super Wubble Bubble Ball Review and Giveaway!

Super Wubble Bubble Ball Review & Giveaway

The Super Wubble Bubble Ball is a kid’s toy that looks like a giant translucent bubble. But instead of floating away and popping, it provided us with hours of fun and is so strong you can even sit on it! And believe me, we tested its limits!

The all new Super Wubble Bubble ball is made with Xpandium, our incredible new material that is stronger, more tear-resistant and patchable with the included emergency repair kit. It’s still just as squishy, stretchy and fun as ever, but now it can withstand even more play! The included battery-operated pump inflates the Super Wubble Bubble ball in minutes. When you’re finished playing, you can even deflate Super Wubble Bubble ball and put it away for next time.

Super Wubble Bubble Ball Review & Giveaway
Super Wubble Bubble:

  • Looks like a bubble, plays like a ball
  • Xpandium is super-stretchy and super-strong
  • Squishy, stretchy and fun
  • Battery-operated pump included
  • Ball easily deflates for storage
  • Pump requires 4 AA batteries (not included)

You need to make sure that you have NEW batteries because the pump requires them without a doubt. With the nozzle firmly in place, I attached the pump and hit the switch. If your Wubble is not airing up, you probably do not have the nozzle in far enough. It took about 3 minutes to inflate to the recommended size of a little under 3 feet. After removing the pump and nozzle, and making sure the valve was depressed into the balloon, the Super Wubble Bubble Ball was ready to go!

Super Wubble Bubble Ball Review & Giveaway

According to the “About” page, the Wubble is made from “top-secret super-thermo-stretch-tacular stuff.” They go on to elaborate by saying it’s a specially engineered synthetic rubber that contains no PVCs, latex, BPAs, pthalates (a plastics hardener), or other “yucky stuff.” And of course – we love the no “yucky stuff” right?

Overall, we were very happy with the Wubble ball. It gaves us hours of fun, laughing, and more fun. And if eventually it pops, the company has a lifetime guarantee that they will replace the ball! We would definitely recommend this toy to people who are looking for something fun to play with, especially indoors.
