Sofia the First Floating Palace DVD Review
I knew right away Declan would love the newest Princess Sofia movie so when I was asked to review Sofia the First Floating Palace, I quickly said yes. Declan is in love with Sofia. If he could watch it all day, everyday, he would. Which is why I was extremely excited to get the opportunity to review this DVD. Disney released this movie on DVD on April 8th, 2014 including three bonus episodes as well as a set of exclusive friendship bracelets.

Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1 Review
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
So being that my husband and I have always been a very athletic set of individuals growing up, we are active now as adults as well. We love taking the boys outdoors to play as much as possible. Our entire family knows that once spring comes along, mom and dad start their softball season too!

SLICES OF LIFE: A Food Writer Cooks Through Many a Conundrum
As a Restaurant Manager and Foodie Blogger, I can honestly say I struggle through my love for food and weight. I tend to be a stress eater and over-eater. Depending on what is going on in my life, you can believe that my weight and health are very reflective of it. I was beyond excited when I received an email from Running Press asking if I would be interested in reviewing a new book by Leah Eskin called "SLICES OF LIFE: A Food Writer Cooks Through Many a Conundrum".

What's It Like, Living Green? Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live Book Review and #Giveaway
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Do any of us really realize how many of the things we use each day that are not only harmful to the earth but ourselves and our loved ones? People may not have lived longer lives a couple hundred years ago but in my opinion they lived happier and healthier lives. Change doesn't happen over night and you'll kill yourself if you try to get rid of everything potentially harmful in one day.

Best Clothes Drying Rack Review and #Giveaway

You know not only have I had a dream of living in the country being completely self sufficient for years, but I've made every attempt to live that way without the property and means just yet. One of the odd things I miss from my childhood is having a close line in our backyard. Even as a child I truly loved when my mother would air dry our clothes and sheets.

TeenSafe $100 VISA Gift Card #Giveaway
Having children in this day and age is so much more different than it was for the generation before us. There has always been and always will be crime regardless of where you live as it's nothing that is new to this generation. The advancements and use of technology has made it possible for both predators and bullies to make their ways into our homes. It seems as if our children can now take on almost alter egos in their online personalities.

Gardener of Urban Worm Factory® 360 Review and #Giveaway
A lot of you already know that besides just being a green enthusiast, I am a proud worm compost'er. My friends tease me constantly as they find it entertaining to find me outside "picking worms" on a Friday night for fun. One of my best friends recently called me the worm lady saying she thought of me instantly when her son dug a worm up in the backyard. Weird? Yes, but I am very proud of what my worms can do.

Declan has watched this since it first came out as he actually started liking the Rabbids from their video game. These are goofy, trouble making bunnies who obnoxiously get into everything around town!

ScoreStix Review and #Giveaway
Not only is baseball one of our entire family's favorite sports but it is has become a way of life during the Summer for us as well. I swear most of my family would die if someone took softball and baseball away from us. The adults in our family play softball on a league together, we used to coach our daughters softball team a while back and now that the boys are getting old enough, they are starting to play on the T-Ball teams as well.
Last year I was given the opportunity to work with an awesome brand on a review of the GameDay Scoreboard which was for basketball play. Thankfully they've asked me to review another product since then that fits even more perfectly in my families lifestyle called ScoreStix. Developed by a father, coach, and spectator, ScoreStix was created to answer the good ole question, "what's the score?".
Now being that we play in an adult beer league and there can be some slight intoxication when playing, we are frequently asking what the score is. When watching the kids play, we are constantly confused as to who is the home or away team too! It was really quite excited to me to see the ScoreStix has the teams labeled differently than your typical scoreboards (ie. Home/Away). Teams are labeled as Us vs. Them which is both awesomely competitive and reasonably easy for all ages to understand.
Besides keeping score, the ScoreStix helps keep track of outs and innings as well. The scoreboard attaches to any backstop or most fences and is "completely weatherproof with powder coated steel frame and vinyl cards." It even came with its own carrying bag! I love the fact that this is a compact design which is easy enough to carry with us everywhere. In fact, we now keep the ScoreStix board in our truck so we will always have it on hand!
Cost/Available to purchase: $24.99 Basic Scoreboard
Recommendation: We love this! Plain and simple - if you play or watch baseball or softball, you need to have one in your possession! It is reasonably priced, can be personalized for your team for $10 more, and makes life easier on and off the field!!!

Giveaway: ScoreStix is going to give one of A Lucky Ladybug's lucky readers a ScoreStix Scoreboard set of their own!

Highlights of Your Life Book Review and #Giveaway
One of the things I knew I had to have when I first found out I was pregnant, was a Baby Book. It has always been something I thoroughly enjoyed looking through over the years. Of course because I am the oldest, mine is filled out completely with every detail of my childhood. I know something of this enjoyment comes from being a very sentimental female but at the same time, I knew my boys would appreciate the memories as well.

Todd Oliver: Funny Dog DVD Review and #Giveaway
When I first asked Dane if he'd like to help review the new movie from Inception Media called Todd Oliver: Funny Dog, he said sure why not, however I was a bit confused by what the movie would be about. My expectations weren't set too high even though I thought it looked potentially pretty funny. On April 8th, 2014, Inception Media Group released the new Todd Oliver: Funny Dog on DVD.

Hot Wheels Battle Force Season 2 DVD Review
You know when I first heard about the release of Hot Wheels Battle Force Season 2, I knew it would be another great DVD for the boys to enjoy. We have recently taken several trips over the last couple months to the local Monster Jam appearances. This has brought a whole new light the boys when it comes to vehicles and I love it. Being that I actually use to be quite the car chick pursuing a career in mechanic engineering, I love watching them take an interest in the field.

Guardian Of The Highlands DVD Review
We were recently asked to review the Guardian Of The Highlands which became available from Cinedigm and Random Media on DVD, on April 8th, 2014. I hadn't heard of the Guardian before this and nor had the children, but after reading that it was about a character protecting the planets wildlife, you know I was all in! Being that the main character is voiced over by Sean Connery, who I have always been a fan of, I figured I might enjoy it even more!

Kiss Me Organics Organic Matcha- Green Tea Powder Review
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Every now and then you find a product that you really want to try, but are almost certain you won't like it or it won't work for you. This recent product for me has been Organic Matcha- Green Tea Powder. I've heard tons and tons of amazing things about it however, I despise the taste of green tea itself so I have not been sure how I would like it.
