It is always risky when making a sequel to any successful movie. Or, in this case, a "prequel"... You really have to go all out if you want it to come close to the success of the original. However, Disney and Pixar do pretty well with sequels. Monsters University not only had many of our favorite characters from the first one, but we also had the privilege of meeting adorable new characters as well! We also got a chance to see why Randall was mean, how selfish Sully was, and how Mike was the most adorable little monster -- ever! It is set at a time just before Mike and Sully met. You actually get to see them meet, and how they did not just start out as BFF's. You are taken back to college years, sororities, school spirit, fun, and the life of those just starting out! They really captured the essence of life in college--without all the trash and negative elements that you would not want your kids to see. They done good! ;) It had everything a mom wants in a movie, a great story, … [Read more...]
Kohl’s Groupie
This may sound weird to some, however, I am very new to the "Kohl's" experience. :) Our first trip to Kohl's was Black Friday 2010. We needed luggage for a trip we were going to be taking and their sale looked good. Now, I had heard about them from time to time from a few groupies friends that LOVE them. This, however, was my first time. I was AMAZED at all the many affordable items they have. I mean this place is not only for the whole family, it has something for just about every room of your house as well. It's like an all in one super/discount/brand name/shoppers dream store. I was hooked from the get go--much to my husbands dismay. ROFL! I am now assimilated and a part of the Kohl's groupie list. This may sound ridiculous to those who have never been to Kohl's--I know I was skeptical of its power. It is like a shoppers drug dealer. LOL! Everything you need is there at affordable pricing. Very affordable. Since, my initial visit, I am a frequent shopper and LOVE their coupons … [Read more...]
Organic Valley Cream Cheese
Cream cheese is a staple in our home. However, I only just discovered Organic Valley's cream cheese. Normally, I would buy store brand, or whatever is on sale. A few years ago, I started buying organic milk. I made the decision based on some research I had done. Honestly, I would love to buy everything organic. Unfortunately, we cannot afford that option at this time. So, I make changes as I can. Milk was first and we are hooked. We can actually TASTE the chemicals in regular--non organic milk now. There is no going back for our family! LOL! Anyway, one of the milk brands I buy is Organic Valley. So, when the cream cheese went on sale at our store, I bought it! All I can say is--we are again hooked! LOL! My husband came in the kitchen while I was cooking and was taking chunks at a time. I had to kick him out of my kitchen! LOL! He was shocked at how yummy and creamy it was. News got out to my kids and soon, I was overtaken by cream cheese thieves!! LOL! It's crazy! I mean we have … [Read more...]
