With all the love for Disney in this house and the boxes upon boxes of Disney DVDs that line our shelves, I’m going to let out a little admission here…I’ve never seen The Nightmare Before Christmas before.

Can it possibly be that this movie was released 20 years ago, and not once in all that time have I watched it?!  Shocking, I know!

If you (like me) are actually completely unaware of what this movie is even about here’s a short film synopsis:

How does Zaycon Foods manage to provide such high quality super fresh meat and produce to its customers at such low prices?  The answer is strength in numbers.  And not their numbers, yours!

Zaycon Foods can sell its products at bulk rate prices to individual consumers and families because their unique sales event business model brings lots of people together, adding all their purchasing power into a combined bulk food purchase.

Using apparel and accessories from Wallis, I created a Pinterest board of what I would pack for a desert getaway at Miraval Resort.

Here are the things I chose:

NICKY DEUCE
The new original movie from MarVista Entertainment, as seen on Nickelodeon!

About the Movie
Nicholas Borelli II (Noah Munck), a sheltered suburban teen, has the adventure of a lifetime when his plans for math camp take a sudden turn.  Instead, he is forced to spend his summer in Brooklyn, New York, with the family he never knew he had – his Italian grandmother Tutti (Rita Moreno) and Uncle Frankie (Steven R. Schirripa). 

TURBO – July 17 in 3D
From the makers of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, TURBO is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an underdog snail who kicks into overdrive when he miraculously attains the power of super-speed.  But after making fast friends with a crew of streetwise, tricked-out es-car-goes, Turbo learns that no one succeeds on their own.  So he puts his heart and shell on the line to help his pals achieve their dreams, before Turbo-charging his own impossible dream: winning the Indy 500.

I cannot believe that this fall we’ll be entering our last year of homeschooling.  And while we’re still in that phase of our life, I want to share on my blog with you over the next school year some of what we’re doing.  Because come next May, well we’ll be saying ‘auf wiedersehen’ to that tab in our navigation.  (No worries all the posts will still be available through searches if you’re looking for something specific!)

So, I get this e-mail newsletter from a research company called TRU, that polls young people on all different kinds of topics.  In these newsletters they also have a ‘Trend Tracker,’ where they list a few things that are up and coming to those young folk.

This last newsletter had something called “Clipless” featured in it. Users simply place a small disc inside their garment and place the Clipless unit on the outside.

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the biggest super hero movie of all time, Marvel’s The Avengers, comes the next chapter in the powerful world of Tony Stark.

Hard to believe it’s July 4th already, isn’t it?!  This is one of my favorite days of the year.  But this year it will be bittersweet. 

For the past number of years now we’ve celebrated the 4th with Amber’s best friend’s family…whose mom also happens to be my bestie as well.  We hang out, the girls do their thing, we eat, we eat some more, then we eat s’mores, and then her husband puts on a fireworks show for us all.
