Academy Award-winning Best Animated Feature “Finding Nemo” returns to DVD fro the first time in thrilling Disney Digital 3D.  In this stunning underwater adventure, with memorable characters, humor and heartfelt emotion, an overly protective clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) and his son Nemo (voiced by Alexander Gould), become separated in the Great Barrier Reef.  Buoyed by the companionship of Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly-but-forgetful Pacific regal blue tang, Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic effort to rescue his son.

Are you counting? 20 days, that’s it! I cannot believe that there is less than 3 weeks until Christmas! I don’t really have a ‘list’ per say, but one thing everyone who has me on their holiday shopping list knows is that they can NEVER go wrong with coffee! Bold, Decaf, Flavored, Ground, Beans, K-Cups, T-Discs, you name it, I CAN BREW IT!

We do have a Sam’s Club membership, and go about once a month, but with only 3 people in our family, there really is only so much bulk shopping one can do. However, coffee is one of those things that is on the Sam’s Club shopping list, and as I mentioned a few

CVS is expanding its assortment of Charmin by now carrying Charmin Basic 1 roll. Charmin Basic is 2 times stronger than the leading value brand when wet. That means you change your toilet paper roll less often because it’s a stronger product so you use less.

Proven Safe for Your Plumbing
Ever wonder what happens to your toilet paper when it’s flushed? Well Charming created this video and evaluates its toilet paper to ensure that it is safe for all the places it might end up after flushing (drain lines, sewers, septic tanks, and municipal wastewater treatment plants).

I drink a lot of coffee and tea which of course after periods of time stains the teeth. We recently had family pictures taken at my brother’s wedding in November, and while I knew I didn’t have “white” teeth, I was a little taken aback at how yellow they actually appeared in the photos. I definitely wanted to change the look of that and brighten them so they looked more polished. Here’s the thing; I WANT to take back my smile — to not be embarrassed or worried about how it looks to others, and I realize that If You’re Not Whitening, You’re Yellowing. Yikes! Who would purposely want to do that?!

If you have been looking for a place to purchase a gift for the four legged member of your family, look no further than Chief Furry Officer.

Many people want to get their pup something for the holidays and for different reasons don’t want to go with just the rawhide bone. Some ‘moms & dads’ want to indulge their ‘chief furry officer’ and would like to show just how much their pup is a part of their family.

I set aside some time to look through Chief Furry Officer’s website, and even though I don’t have a dog right now, I found myself looking through the pages of

To be honest, I really had a lack of interest in seeing ParaNorman when it was released in theaters in August.  It took us a long time to see Coraline (which I found a little creepy).  Plus a story about a kid who could see dead people, meh I’d seen the Sixth Sense.

But when I was asked to review ParaNorman on 3D Blu-ray (it was also released in 2D on DVD this past week), I figured why not.  I’m sure my husband would be interested in seeing it, and I’d watch it objectively to write a review.

When I write about the holidays, I mostly talk about Christmas, and that’s because that’s what we celebrate this time of the year. But I recognize that my readership is diverse and not everyone that lands on my blog celebrates Christmas, and very well may be looking for gift ideas for Chanukah or another December holiday.

That being said, while we aren’t Jewish, we did have some fun the other day putting together a Chanukah House from Manischewitz. This Chanukah House Kit came with everything we needed to build a great and tasty Chanukah house including cookies, icing, and decorating accents.
