My whole family and I have been looking forward to the new Frozen movie! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Would it be just as good? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Would the songs be fantastic?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The answer is: YES!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My two daughters said that they like Frozen 2 even more than the original and they adored the first movie. The songs are just a memorable and beautiful. My favorite is the power ballad: In the Woods! I was laughing so hard I missed half the lyrics. The song is great but the images with the songs just make it spectacular! </div>

The story is powerful and has more depth than the first! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The scenery is just gorgeous, I could just watch a movie of that. </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We love drawing and creating art in our home. Last month my daughter told me she would love to have a light pad to use when she draws. So when I was given the opportunity to review <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YA9GP0G" target="_blank">AGPtek 17-Inch LED Artcraft Tracing Light Pad</a> on I jumped at the chance. I was not expecting it to be so light and thin. Growing up my Grandmother had a Barbie light pad and it was very big. I remember spending hours during every visit using it to trace or draw. I knew it would be a great addition to our art supplies so I been waiting for it to arrive. I was really not expecting how thin and light it would be. The light pad is easy to move around or tuck away when not using.</div>

The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YA9GP0G">light pad</a> comes with a cord and adapter to plug into the wall. The on off button on the top left corner also adjusts the brightness of the light. Below, you can see the brightest setting. For my first project I am going to place the graph paper under art paper. I will be able to see and use the grid lines while I draw.<br />

My whole family and I loved Coco. My teen has been looking forward to this movie for so long and now that we have seen it, it was worth the wait. The movie is just all about family and music. The characters are just so colorful in more ways than one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The movie starts out following Miguel and learning about his family. His family are shoemakers but don't allow music of any kind.</div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/di2bCDqa_Ro" width="560"></iframe>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love this clip from the movie as it really shows how much music is forbidden by his Grandmother. The movie is just so much fun. Miguel learns so much about his family but they also learn about him and how music can bring people together. Miguel goes on some crazy adventures and we enjoyed going along. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The movie was also special to my family because both of my daughters are learning Spanish. At the time we were able to see the movie they were extra excited to see a movie about Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). My youngest even made an alter in school similar to one in the movie for our pet who had passed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I highly recommend you and your family go see Coco, it is great for all ages including grandparents. A perfect movie to see over this holiday weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Now we didn't get to see the OLAF’S FROZEN ADVENTURE during the preview so we might have to go again to see Coco and Olaf.

Here are two the chocolates cut in half so that you can see the middles too. The chocolates are so I am surprised we didn't eat them in just one day. They are available at Target and would make a great last minute gift or even a nice hostess gift. </div>

Moana is just fantastic. In the words of my teen, "This is my favorite movie of all time!" We all loved the movie. The character Moana is strong, feisty and caring. She just keeps going, being the best she can be and expecting the same from others. <br />
The are so many beautiful songs but our favorite has to be Shiny sung by the crab. I have no idea what the real song it called but my kids just keep singing it over and over and they only heard it once in the movie. <br />
I can't not forget mention the scenery. It really looks as though you are somewhere in the Pacific. There is also a magnificent volcano god island! Plus the ocean is a character too, which is handled perfectly. You feel as those you are watching something filmed rather than a cartoon. <br />
<br />
My family has been looking forward to Moana for a long time. My oldest has watched every preview and read many, many articles and become more and more excited. I have to say that the movie did not disappoint. My whole family loved the movie and we can't wait to see it again and again!<br />

My daughters have been having so much fun with Shape Logic by ThinkFun. It is an individual game but sometimes they like to play together. The game consist of two sets of matching shapes in green and blue. </div>

Above is the first challenge. The card show you the shapes you need in each color and they you have to make the same shape in blue and green. You don't know what the shape will be just that they need to match.</div>

Here is the solution for the first challenge, they both form a matching rectangle.</div>

The game becomes progressively harder. Above is the last challenge, genius level. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The game has been fun for my tween, teen and myself to play. The game also comes with a drawstring bag making it easy to take on the go. My oldest is actually home sick today and was playing it earlier between naps. </div>

My girls are 11 and 13 and both have so much fun playing with #ThinkFun Balance Beans. My youngest daughter was the first to play. Once I told her the simple rules she started trying each card in order. She only had about five left when her sister showed up. Her big sister wanted to start playing immediately. She let her sister play a few cards, trying one or two of each level before they played the last five cards together. The game is listed as a solitary game but my girts played happily together and alone.</div>

We had plans to meet their former teacher and some friends at a local park so we took the game with us. Once we were all sitting down to catch up my girls brought out the game. The game was hit with the other kids and their parents. Their former teacher was especially excited about the game and not just because her maiden name is Bean. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I highly recommend this game, even I have fun playing with it by myself!</div>

Last week my family and I were able to attend a sneak preview of Pete's Dragon and we loved it. This version is very different from the Disney movie made in the seventies. We just loved this movie and not just because of the fantastic dragon! The characters are just so engaging and you care about that right away. The movie is so touching, I almost cried a few times. I would recommend this movie for the whole family. My kids are already asking if we can see the movie again now that it is in the theater. My sister, mom and nephew are seeing the tonight and I am sure they will love it too!<br />

I have been trying to reduce the waste my household creates. My kids love to drink through straws but if they start to add up after a while. If you use plastic straws they are inexpensive to buy but they don't last and just create more plastic waste. Those straws get thrown away and end up in the environment and straws are among the top ten debris in the ocean. Now I don't want to give up straws instead I use reusable straws. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GHJ4YZ4" target="_blank">Uniqhia Extra Long Stainless Steel Drinking Straws</a> set comes with 5 metal straws and a brush to clean them. They are 10.5 inches and the perfect size to use in 30 oz. insulated cups. My kids have been using them everyday since they arrived. I don't have a picture but we also use them when drinking smoothies. I haven't yet since it is summer but I can't wait to use them in my travel mug to drink hot coffee or tea. Also, since they are metal I know they won't break and I can take them along when eating out or traveling.<br />

My family and I were able to attend a sneak preview of BFG last week and we were so excited. My younger daughter, almost 11 years, loved this movie. She was laughing out loud, especially the scene with the feast (I don't want to give anything away). She just could not stop talking about how much she enjoyed watching the movie. Now my teen thought it was a good movie but did not laugh out loud like her sister. The movie is just beautiful to see. My favorite part is when they are exploring and visit the dream tree. The visuals in those scenes is enough just to see the movie. The movie is good for families, though it would depend on the teen if they might enjoy it or not. I did find the giant hard to understand sometimes so you do need to pay close attention and somewhat translate in your head. <br />

I am always drinking water but sometimes it is nice to have a little more flavor. I do not like artificial flavors so if I want to add flavor it needs to be from real food.</div>

I made lots of infused waters in the last week in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/VidaKai-Loose-Fruit-Infuser-Bottle/dp/B016NCDEI8/ie=UTF8?m=A1LVK69OFB830W&keywords=tea+fruit+infuser+water+bottle" target="_blank">VidaKai Loose Leaf Fruit/Tea Infuser Water Bottle</a>. The first was tangerine sage with chopped strawberries, then lime mint with crushed blueberries and both were delicious.</div>

Since the infuser is at the bottom the water continues to be infused as I am drinking it.</div>

Once I finished my water, I actually added more water at least once, sometimes twice to infuse more water. When it was time to clean, the bottom comes off for much easier cleaning</div>

To clean out the metal infuser, you just pop it off and clean it out.</div>

The bottle is great infusing water and even more important to me it is so easy to clean and dry.</div>

My husband saw how much I was enjoying them so he has been using them too. He likes to watch movies while on our exercise bike and found these perfect. The sound is great and they look sharp too so I recommend these to anyone in the market for headphones!</div>

Growing up my grandfather always had a garlic press at dinner, with which, he would use to press garlic he grew himself straight onto his food. Luckily I love garlic almost as mush as he did. Surprisingly I have never owned my own <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHLNRVE/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_nVLqxb1SME17J" target="_blank">garlic press</a>. I tried buying garlic and chopping it myself or buying it already chopped. Neither method worked, the pre chopped garlic just doesn't have the right flavor and chopping it myself was so much work (plus I can never chop uniformly small pieces).</div>

Out comes great garlic. Since receiving this garlic press I have been using garlic much more often. I even made some garlic bread by adding the pressed garlic into soften butter, spread on bread and broiled to perfection! I am actually out of garlic since I have been using it so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, what about cleaning? I found the garlic press quite easy to clean. I used my finger to grab the leftover bits of garlic that did not go through, washed with a sponge and it was clean.</div>

The hammock it easy to just roll up and then stuff into the attached bag. It did not even take a whole minute to pack up the hammock and roll up the straps and place in their own separate bag. </div>

I buy lots of food in the bulk section in my grocery store and that means that the foods are not labeled except with labels I make myself. In the past I have tried making labels with different levels of success, With these labels I just write on them, peel and stick, It is so easy and if the label doesn't look just right I just wipe it off to try again or peel it off and reattach. It is really as easy as that.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO3NPtFOF9c0JufCNNOPw7dvdJ69GNB1aX57U0HA5TWAIfjlPiQrTagMO-jluEn2tMr17jfc-UAy5MlJRqeyGeh5a8zTfixf7CSVoDjDPedQc45prETR8wGygnx7ZMM3MFVVxm4GfY41oU/s1600/label1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO3NPtFOF9c0JufCNNOPw7dvdJ69GNB1aX57U0HA5TWAIfjlPiQrTagMO-jluEn2tMr17jfc-UAy5MlJRqeyGeh5a8zTfixf7CSVoDjDPedQc45prETR8wGygnx7ZMM3MFVVxm4GfY41oU/s320/label1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DQR24AM" target="_blank">Pack of 120 Premium Multi-Size Chalkboard Labels</a> I received comes with so many labels I will have more than enough to label everything I want to. It also comes with full size sheets you can use as they are or even cut into the shape you want, for example a heart or hippo or anything you want. I haven't decided what to do with the large sheets yet as I am too busy using the smaller labels to label my whole pantry!</div>

As you can see they are easy to write on using chalk or chalk markers. You can write on them before or after attaching them to whatever you are attaching them too. Personally I like to write on them first but have written on them after placing them on jars too, so I know it works both ways. <br />
<br />
If you need to label stuff I highly recommend the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DQR24AM" target="_blank">Pack of 120 Premium Multi-Size Chalkboard Labels</a>.<br />

If you have ever tried to zest citrus or grate hard cheese on a box grater, I feel your pain. A box grater is great for shredding cheese such as Monterey jack or similar cheese but is not great for anything else. Besides the grating, the cleaning is quite awkward. I am loving <a href="http://www.amztk.com/wonderzester" target="_blank">WonderEsque Zester and Cheese Grater</a> for hard cheese. I recently, completely on accident, created my kids favorite pasta dish. One of the main ingredients is about 1/3 cup of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. <a href="http://www.amztk.com/wonderzester" target="_blank">WonderEsque Zester and Cheese Grater</a> makes the grating of the cheese so much easier. I have also used the <a href="http://www.amztk.com/wonderzester" target="_blank">WonderEsque Zester and Cheese Grater</a> to grate chocolate for dessert but have not tried it on citrus yet (the lemons did not look great in my store.) <br />

I also like the feel of the handle, it is really comfortable to hold which is nice when you are using it for a while.</div>

I am adoring these <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ETWDHIG" target="_blank">AYL Silicone Cooking Gloves+Internal Cotton Layer</a> oven mitts. I bake almost every day so that means I use oven mitts virtually everyday. The gloves keep my hands protected from heat while gripping the hot item well. Since the outside of the glove is silicone, that means it is waterproof. I can not count how many times I have spilt water, usually boiling water, on my oven mitts, with these gloves my hands are protected.</div>

<br />
The most important thing to me about a running head lamp is how comfortable. This head lamp with reflective band is very comfortable, comfortable for long runs (well as long as you don't adjust it to tight.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMd3iHOFj0lr8ha82wNH2lCZMJ0Zpmtc72UM6n0E1VgtVHAkFyGwi-W1vIsbrJhPgMkyiQU9viFQUn3DO0aa97QOwNg6gKHOSnGSmUxiFh4NVTf0bl3xuqzgEkB3RjIqAw4J8RjaRphIPx/s1600/light2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMd3iHOFj0lr8ha82wNH2lCZMJ0Zpmtc72UM6n0E1VgtVHAkFyGwi-W1vIsbrJhPgMkyiQU9viFQUn3DO0aa97QOwNg6gKHOSnGSmUxiFh4NVTf0bl3xuqzgEkB3RjIqAw4J8RjaRphIPx/s320/light2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also very important is if the light is bright enough to light up the area in front of you, which this does. The strap is also reflective so if a car comes up behind you while out running in the dark they will see you.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSF2AUYzMFyjK4wJ4K5Q0MqBGM0XHHh1j3Pey8WnkjHx6fR41pgoAXyW46vaHsAFWG-MA8KiwGhux_D8Ufs6DCqsh1C8WMt1n9MKTbf8pmucupqdNebpHVZjU1clFlZLRY-7d0bTsDEe47/s1600/light3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSF2AUYzMFyjK4wJ4K5Q0MqBGM0XHHh1j3Pey8WnkjHx6fR41pgoAXyW46vaHsAFWG-MA8KiwGhux_D8Ufs6DCqsh1C8WMt1n9MKTbf8pmucupqdNebpHVZjU1clFlZLRY-7d0bTsDEe47/s320/light3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Personally I only use the regular light but if I ever need it also has a solid red light or a flashing red light. Besides running a head lamp is so nice when camping or searching in a dark room.<br />

My refrigerator comes with an ice maker but sometimes I want something more than just plain ice. Plain ice serves its purpose but it is much more fun and fancier to make your own ice in shapes and/or with more than water. My kids had so much fun adding the perfect circle ice cubes we made with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018IS8VQK" target="_blank">Wisepalace Ice Ball mold</a> to their drinks. The mold is easy to fill and since it has holes in the top of each you could make circle ice pops in whatever flavor you want!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ice cold drinks also mean condensation. I like the feel of the condensation on my hand when it is really hot out but my furniture does not. I have been know to use a book or magazine to rest my drink on which means I have ruined a few books and magazines. I and my family have been using the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018IS8VQK" target="_blank">Wisepalace Drink Coasters</a> (everyone has one next to their bed since we all like water to drink at night) every night and they have been working perfectly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see in the photo below the set comes with a mold to make four ice balls, six coasters and a holder.</div>

(If nonstick pans become overheated the fumes released can kill pet birds which we have.) It took me a little while to get used to a cast iron pan but one think I still have a problem with is forgetting how hot the handle can become. I have burned my hand more than once so I can up with some different ways to decrease the chances of burning myself again. I pointed the handle straight back (but that made the back burner unavailable) or I placed a potholder over the handle (it usually fell off). Neither of these were good solutions but now I have the perfect solution:<a href="http://www.amazon.com/ORBLUE-Silicone-Skillet-Handle-Cover/dp/B01D5JN05O" target="_blank"> Orblue Silicone Cast Iron Skillet Handle Cover</a>. The handle just slips on, stays on, and doesn't get hot. As soon as it arrived I slipped it onto my cast iron pan and have not removed. I feel much safer for myself and my family with the cover protecting us. If I ever get another cast iron pan (I have been thinking of getting a different size) I will make sure I order another <a href="http://www.amazon.com/ORBLUE-Silicone-Skillet-Handle-Cover/dp/B01D5JN05O" target="_blank">Orblue Silicone Cast Iron Skillet Handle Cover</a>. I would definitely recommend having one for your cast iron pan even if you don't try and grab the cast iron handle a guest might, especially a child, and this handle keeps them safe from a burn. I know it has kept me safe from burning myself!<br />

It was easy to use, inexpensive and easy to toss once it was used. As a family we have been trying to reduce our use of plastic and disposable items. Since we stopped buying cling wrap I have been putting leftover food into glass containers. I miss being able to just cover a glass or mug that still has food or a beverage leftover. We like to eat our soup out of mugs but my kids don't always finish what I served them. Now that I have these great <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Reusable-Expandable-Dishwasher-Diameter/dp/B01BJ3B9WE/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1460348978&sr=8-17-spons&keywords=lids&psc=1" target="_blank">Silicone Stretch Lids</a> I can just cover the mug or glass and put it directly into the refrigerator. The cover stretch well so they fit large and small glasses or cans. The seal is also water tight so if the container tips over the liquid doesn't get out. You cant say that about cling wrap, it will let liquid leak out. I have been using the lids quite often since they arrived and so glad I have great alternative to cling wrap.<br />

I have heard so many good things about castile soap but this was the first time I used it myself. I personally only used <span id="goog_2102160548"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/">TriNova Castile Soap</a> <span id="goog_2102160549"></span>to wash dishes and clean my hands while at the kitchen sink. The soap did a great job cleaning my dishes and I am looking into find others ways to use the castile soap.</div>

I have heard of using it as part of homemade shampoo, window cleaner, wood floor cleaner, and all purpose cleaner. The soap is concentrated so a little goes a long way. The bottle should last me a awhile. I also like that since it can be used so many way I can buy less products to keep my house clean.</div>

I have been wanting lights for my flag so that I can leave it out at night as the flag is suppose to only fly at night if it is lighted. I am so excited about <span id="goog_672558618"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/">InnoGear Solar Powered Outdoor Spotlight<span id="goog_672558619"></span></a>. I received two so I have one on each side of the flag. They can be screwed onto a wall or staked into the ground. I used the included stake and placed them in my garden.</div>

It was so easy to set up. When I removed it from the packaging I only had to twist in a screw and attach the stake (it just slides in). I then just pushed it into the ground, angled the solar panel to get the most light and made sure I pressed the button under the solar panel to turn it on. I just waited and watched <span id="goog_880132474"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/">InnoGear Solar Outdoor Spotlight</a> <span id="goog_880132475"></span>turn on automatically when it became dark. I don't have to do anything else. It charges in the sunlight and turns on when dark!</div>

I have not tried grinding anything else, well except rice. Did you know that before you use your stone or marble mortar and pestle there is a specific way to clean it? Well I did not until now. I read many websites and the consensus is to first rinse well (but don't use soap as it will end up in whatever you grind later. Once it is really dry then grind up white rice at least three times. The grinding of the rice helps clean out any marble dust created when it was made. Once all that is done my Maxam<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Maxam-Marble-Mortar-and-Pestle/dp/B0187PDJYS?ie=UTF8&keywords=KTHERBM&m=A2D4DW0NZBLRX4&qid=1460393282&ref_=sr_1_1&s=merchant-items&sr=1-1" target="_blank"> mortar and pestle</a> is ready to use! I can't wait to try making more than just ground spices, I heard it is the best way to make guacamole. I will have to test that theory!<br />
