Metamorphic Toys Review...


I am so excited to tell you about a great company called Metamorphic Toys! I got to review some of their awesome Eco-Friendly Educational Art Toys!

First check out this fun mailbox...




Creative play the eco-friendly way. The Everrythingland Mailbox & Eco-Art U-Stick'ems are an art project and toy in one. Children can personalize the mailbox using paints markers and crayons and create patterns or themes using the colorable U-Stick'ems. Kids may choose any eco-friendly glue available or make their own with mom or dad using the enclosed recipe. Gone is the silicone backing sheet common to most stickers, which is NOT recyclable or biodegradable.
  • Customizable art toy inspires kids imaginations & encourages creativity
  • May be colored and decorated with glued on Eco-Art U-Stick'ems
  • Eco-Art U-Stick'ems provide more play value & an eco-friendly choice over ordinary stickers.
  • Eliminates non-recyclable, non-biodegradable silicone backing sheet.
  • Made in the U. S. A. using recycled materials. product & packaging are recyclable & biodegradable.
This would be so super fun to have for each member in our home and we would have a blast decorating them as well for sure! Next check out these cute signs below...

THIS MEANS WAR REVIEW...




IT’S SPY VS. SPY IN THE ULTIMATE BATTLE
FOR ONE WOMAN’S AFFECTION


Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy Form the
Perfect Love Triangle in this Action Packed Comedy
Available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download May 22

They are the CIA’s best, trained for any situation…except one. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment plays the ultimate spy game as two best friends fight for the right of one woman’s hand in THIS MEANS WAR, coming to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download May 22.

Starring Academy Award® winner Reese Witherspoon* (Walk the Line), Chris Pine (Star Trek) and Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises), the laugh-out-loud comedy gets even better on Blu-ray with three alternate endings that answer the question – what if she chose the other guy? The world's deadliest CIA operatives, FDR Foster (Pine) and Tuck (Hardy), are inseparable partners and best friends until they fall for the same woman (Witherspoon).  Having once helped bring down entire enemy nations, they are now employing their incomparable skills and an endless array of high-tech gadgetry against their greatest nemesis – each other.

THIS MEANS WAR DVD
Street Date: May 22, 2012
Screen Format: 16:9 (2.40:1)
Subtitles: English SDH / Spanish
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Theatrical Total Run Time: 97 minutes
Closed Captioned: Yes
 
I love movies that have romance, comedy and action all in one and this one has it all! Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) hasn't dated any guys for a while and when her best friend Trish (Chelsea Handler) encourages her to go out with two different guys the comedy ensues. It was fun watching FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) who are best friends try to win over Lauren. They are spies so they have all this technology at their fingertips and they use it to find out everything about Lauren so she will fall in love with them.

They also use all the technology to sabotage the others date. I loved it when FDR has Lauren on a date and is talking about art and has someone reading about the art on the internet and telling him what to say to Lauren to make it sound like he knew something about art but Tuck takes over the line to FDR's ear piece and starts telling him to say the wrong things and FDR starts repeating everything he says. I was cracking up. My hubby and I enjoyed watching this movie together.

The special features have deleted scenes and a couple alternate endings that are fun to watch. You have to watch the deleted scene of Lauren freaking out. It was hilarious!

THE AVENGERS ROCKS!!!


Today THE AVENGERS comes out in theaters! I thought this would be a movie just the boys would like when we went to the screening Tuesday night. I was wrong... I LOVED it!!!


THE HULK IS SO-OOO COOL! He reminds me of one of my boys that used to take his shirt off when he was little to flex for us and he would say... "See I have muscles just like the Hulk." haha (If you know me and my boys, then you will know which one of my boys that is :)


I'm not going to ruin it for those of you that have not seen it by writing spoilers, but this is a movie you will NOT want to miss! My hubby loved the fight between Thor and Iron Man. He is already wanting me to go see it again with him.


If you liked any of the other Marvel movies like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America or Hulk you'll love this movie!
 

It was amazing watching THE AVENGERS in 3D! The special effects are phenomenal and we loved the humor and action in it! Make sure you stay in your seats until after the credits because there is an extra scene at the very end. Let me tell you one more time... THE HULK IS SO-OOO COOL!

Pinhole Press Review...



Just in time for Mother's Day thanks to Pinhole Press we got to review several of their awesome products!


This great company has fantastic personalized gifts! We had so much fun spending hours on their site making fun things for Mother's Day. They have photo books, cards, calendars, day planners, and much more that you can make special with your own personal photos.


I am thinking about ordering some personalized calendars for Christmas gifts this year. We received grocery pads, magnets, cards, a journal and more. We are very impressed with the high quality and love everything! How exciting that we have personalized gifts to give out this year for Mother's Day!


The journal we got turned out so great! I love that in the first pages of it we could add a message and some pictures. It has a nice marker in it as well to help me keep my place when writing in it.


We also got some personalized swag bags with the Class of 2012 stickers above for our son's graduation party! What a fun and clever idea for any party or get together. I put black and white tissue paper in them to match the stickers. I know they will be a huge hit and everyone is going to love them! Make sure and check out Pinhole Press and all the great things they offer. Their website is a lot of fun!
