I had the privilege of sampling many of the products that Gildan offers for all members of my household and the overall Review decision is... All the products are soft and comfortable for all day wear, none of the underwear had an issue of riding up while wearing. The underwear, socks and fleece jackets were all washed in the washing machine under normal conditions for my household(cold water, eco friendly detergent, delicates wash) all products washed well, no noted shrinkage. There was no noted defects in products and the items are comparable  in price to others being sold in store. All sizing was true to size IMO.

**Antboy**

Pelle Norman, longs to fit in, he is neither a nerd or the popular kid, he is just an unknown. While hiding from school bullies an ant crawls up his pant leg and bites him on the neck infecting him.. and thus the story begins.
We did enjoy the comic book feel of the movie along with the cast of characters. Pelle uses his powers when needed and the one friend he confides in is his witness to all the off the wall antics of a human ant. My kids were totally awe struck by this movie. Then Antboys true love, Amanda, is napped by the Flea and he has to show just how brave he is. This is a great family friendly movie and proves that Superheroes did come in all sizes.

**Pelle is a shy twelve-year old who is bitten by an extremely special ant. As a result, he develops superpowers that he has to navigate through among all the other awkward moments a kid must face. Aided by Wilhelm, a comic book fanatic, Pelle creates a secret identity as the superhero, Antboy. When the dreaded villain, The Flea, enters the scene, 
Antboy is put up to the challenge. **




In theaters April 16th

*The Dog Who Saved Easter- Review and Giveaway*

Lionsgate Home Entertainment< available April 8th

**As the Bannisters get ready to go on a lavish family cruise, they send their beloved dog Zeus to a doggy day care. But Zeus' Easter vacation is interrupted by a trio of crooks out to sabotage the hound hotel and funnel their clients to a rival day care.

Rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for some rude humor.**

      This was a cute movie most definitely child related with a bit of suspense packed full of adorable pooches on the move to Save EASTER.  With Easter approaching this is an ideal Easter basket filler for those hard to surprise kiddos on your list. 

      My kidlets were in a movie coma the entire beginning to end of the movie and even watched it on multiple occasions afterwards. The plot I was concerned might be to advanced for a 4 year old but to my dismay she was totally understanding of the whole "good guy" bad guy" between the 2doggie day cares. Like any other suspense movie this keeps you on the run and not knowing how it was going to come out. Great movie for even the teens(at least in my home) it was enjoyable. The chicks that showed up were very cute through the movie.

**Lalaloopsy Ponies: The Big Show ** Review and Giveaway

   

 Are you ready for an All NEW adventure with Lalaloopsy and friends? If you have fanatics of the Lalaloopsy kind, this is a must have for your collection. I can tell you this was a huge hit in my home I think we have seen it about a dozen times.
     If you have not seen Lalaloopsy or it's movies each one has a special message and all end on a good note. They teach manners and understanding something we have to value and teach to our own kids and this NEW version is no different. This movie produced by "Lionsgate"

 introduces you to the new Pony friends (they are not horses just ponies) through an old idea that I had when a child, its called a Penpal :) The theme song says it all for this review:
"Similar pals can be really sweet but a different friend, just cant be beat" I thought that just simplified the whole movie without giving any of the cuteness away.

 The ponies are eager to put on a show, but there's a hitch- their caravan and carousel need rebuilding. With teamwork, know how, and lots of laughter and fun, the Lalas get the ponies up and running again!Teamwork is key!!

If this movie interests you it will be available April 8th at most stores.** Thank you to Lionsgate for the opportunity to review an advanced copy with my family. All opinions are 100% my own, receipt of product does not promise a positive review.**

Mistress of My Fate (The Confessions of Henrietta Lightfoot #1)

     I received this book for being a part of Blogger Connection Book club this is the first book in a Trilogy. This book was written as a first person narrative and I myself really enjoyed following along with the character as if she was telling me her story.
    Henrietta lives a decent life, not good or great, with relatives and her whole life is turned upside down at the death of her half sister and "love" of her half sister's husband. She travels all about in search of him and runs into many unfortunate events. After the birth of her child, it seems like her life continues to spiral, still in search of the "love" and the mystery of the unknown. She falls into the life she never imagined in search of answers.
    I, honestly, didn't know if this was going to be a book I would enjoy not for any particular reason other than I just judged before i read it. After beginning the book it became a definite page turner and I could not put it down. I had to find out what was next in Henrietta's misfortunes.
    I can not wait for the second book to come out as the first one was so interesting.

**KidSwitch**

In 1995 Greg O'Sullivan created Kidswitch. Kidswitch allows toddlers to operate light switches that are out of reach but not out of their realm of ability. By allowing toddlers to reach their light switches it provides valuable independence for both the toddler and for the parents who have to perform this repetitive task. By allowing a toddler to operate a switch, they can thereby be taught to turn a light off, which leads them down a path of living with "green" energy saving habits, instilled and engraved early on.

KidSwitch is the Glow-in-the-Dark Light Switch Extender for Kids!

KidSwitch Features & Benefits

• Helps Toddlers SAFELY reach and operate lights!



• Teaches ENERGY SAVING Habits at an early age!



• SAVES MONEY! Stop leaving the lights ON all day!



• Aids in POTTY TRAINING! No more scary trips to a dark bathroom!



• Builds SELF-CONFIDENCE!

     I received one of these handy little KidSwitch to review in my home and who better to use it for but my daughter. She loves to play in her room but routinely leaves the light on because its too much effort to reach that light switch and i have put a stop to hauling the chairs down the hall to reach things. 
     This is super easy to install with the directions on the back of package but just looking at it just makes sense. We installed hers over the top of her Tinkerbell switchplate(because it goes with her theme) I would recommend using a plate a tad more flush as it took some extra TLC to get it attached with all the raises and grooves. 
top and bottom openings are for the screws middle is for switch.
had to use a little bit longer screws for the attachment as my plate was a little too thick.
has a convenient, easy to grip handle that glows in the dark that looks like a moon. The handle is fitted for little hands and made of a strong plastic.
My princess modeling the ease of the KidSwitch she liked that it was easy to hold and glows in the dark.
This product can be found at many online retailers including  KidSwitch website. If interested use coupon code kidswitch10 for 10% off your order.

**TerraCycle**Recycled Products

->->

     TerraCycle turns your recyclable products into new products that can be used again but in a more unique but functional way. I've seen a company before do something comparable but I never owned one of my own.

      As a mom I can say I have put tons of drink pouches into landfills only because I had no idea that there were other uses for them. After looking at the Terracycle site I realized how wrong I had been all my parenting years, yes I know of recycling, just didnt know those pouches had any use after they were empty.
If you look at the above pictures it goes for lots of our everyday go-tos in a house of kids to include drink pouches and snacks as well as even chip bags.
look at what something simple can accomplish(pouches=protected case)
     The amazing point of this company they turn our everyday snack wrappers into bags, pouches, office supplies and many other products.
this is the tote style bag and it is made out of billboard materials. It construction is considerably thicker as the bag is more porous and is weathered from the outdoors.


 It as well is well made no known issues with tote and really is very strong compared to most shopping totes. I would recommend not machine wash more of a cloth wipe. One side is one style of billboard material while the other is different the inside is lined.


I received this lunch pouch, it has a lil belt to hold it together when not in use, a zipper to contain your valuables, it is fully lined and feels machine washable. Its well made and structured to resemble a lunch tote. It unfolds and is very roomy would slip well into a backpack. It has a velcro closure.
Join the recycle movement it benefits many:) You benefit as well as someone in need!!
 TerraCycle points can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts, or for a payment of $0.01 per point to the non-profit organization or school of your choice.

     TerraCycle® upcycles and recycles traditionally non-recyclable waste (including drink pouches, chip bags, tooth brushes and many more) into a large variety of consumer products. These products keep waste out of our landfills and contribute to a cleaner world. TerraCycle products are available at a wide range of major retailers from Wal*Mart to Target as well as online.

**Costume Discounters**Batman Costume Brave and Bold Deluxe**

     So as many of you know the favorite holiday among kids is coming up and its not a "holiday" per say but to most kids anytime you receive tons of candy its a special occasion. Its never to early to start going through the closets, donating the old costumes(so many can use what we donate) and doing what a lot of us do best: looking for a deal &online shopping. I know I am terribly guilty of both!! So why sit there? You know you want to see the hottest costumes at the best prices...am I right?**Read ON** :)

     I have young kids and I have older kids, and yes they ALL still dress for Halloween. Every year its the same old thing, my youngest two get new costumes because as Halloween passes the costumes get used on multiple occasions(dress up or just for fun)and so  every year I am in the market for their costumes.
     I often start by looking at the Party Stores, Superstores and Club stores and always come up with the same thing...everyone is going to be wearing the same style costumes. So many stores, variety is varied, prices are outrageous and just nothing different from one store to the next.
     I decided to google "costumes" and came upon this wonderful site called Costume Discounters and just could not help myself when it came to browsing the selection of costumes from young to old. The costumes are unique and varied, the sizes are available and in stock and the prices are so much lower than most retail stores. The selection is kind of overwhelming but when you realize you can dress all your kids and yourself for a decent budget it is so worth the time and effort of looking over the site.
    You got a Halloween party and want to dress as the Addams Family?? They got it!!
    Got a child like mine who wants to be a Super Hero(and save the world with a cape)?? They got them!
    The wonderful people at Costume Discounters provided my son with his costume for Halloween this year, yes he got to choose with no ones input..he wanted to be a "Bat".

     So we looked up Batman Costumes, you have padded and not padded, boys and girls, children and adults like I said... so many choices. I placed my order and within 10 days of ordering it was in my mailbox. The package came USPS in a mailing envelope, the costume was packaged as if I bought it from the store with a hook attached to hang up. It was sealed and snapped and the costume was in excellent untouched condition.

    We took everything out of the packaging and laid it out for us to assemble and prepare for the infamous "try out."
Batman Costume body suit with belt..suit is padded(not so much padded as it is formed) and the feet have shoe covers and elastic straps to hold in place. The body suit is all one piece from hands to feet nothing flapping or not quality made. The yellow item is the belt, its a heavier plastic with a soft material to tie in the back.
This is the cape, so cute I was impressed seeing it to be an attached piece itself. It is the cape and bat ears with mask all in one, so right in my house as my kids would be taking off the mask if it were not attached. The cape has a small piece of velcro to attach around the neck to give it a more cape like feel. Very light weight and the mask, being attached, is made of the same basic cape material and it super stretchy. Now for the fashion show:)
yep its a keeper!!
**Disclosure.. Thank you to the Costume Discounter and distributor for providing my son with this costume. All opinions in my post are my opinion and my opinion is based on the quality and company experience as a consumer. My opinion may differ from others..The company is efficient and product was as expected my review is not swayed by the fact I received the product for payment of my post.**
