Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs Releasing On Blu-Ray

It’s that time of year again! The start of school, and FOOTBALL!! My oldest played one year in little league football, but now it feels different…he’s in 7th grade and playing for his school…it’s like it’s legit. I’m so excited for those Thursday night lights, I’ve missed them over the last 15 years…yes it’s been that long since I’ve been to a school game.
I made sure to read every paper I signed and made sure I’ve talked to him about not over doing it and signs of a concussion. A concussion is not something anyone ever wants to think about with their child, but they happen and it’s better to talk about them and know the signs and what to do about it before it happens.
Do You Know The Signs Of A Concussion?
If an athlete has been evaluated by a physician on the sidelines and there was no evidence of neurologic change, they typically do not need to be seen in the ER. The physician would provide information on what symptoms to watch for in the next hours or days. The Center for Disease Control has a nice description of the signs and symptoms of concussions and the warning signs that indicate the injured person should be taken to the hospital emergently. (http://www.cdc.gov/concussion) Primary care physicians, pediatricians, emergency room physicians and internal medicine physicians are all well trained to diagnose a concussion.
You can read more about concussions and sports safety in my interview with some folks over at the NFL. This fabulous panel of experts are:
‘Football Mom’ Chris Golic
Dr. Elizabeth Pieroth
Dr. Douglas Cassa of the Korey Stringer Institute
Nick Inzerello USA Football Senior Director of Football Development
We’ve talked to my little man about safety and concussions. He understands the risks and is sure to listen and follow the rules that his coaches have, for their safety. I’m confident we are going to have a good first year! No I’m not THAT mom in the stands…but my hubby, having played football in school, might get a little loud if he thinks the refs are calling bogus calls.
His first game is September 10th so be prepared for a Football Friday post to follow! In the mean time were catching the NFL games on TV! Who’s your favorite team? We’re split in our house…I love the Saints & Packers and my hubby loves the Colts & Broncos. Yea, were a hot mess, but we can both agree on the Aransas Pass Panthers for the win this season! Go Panthers!

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31st, and one of our favorite holidays. Its origin goes back to the Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was a celebration of the end of the harvest season. The Celts believed that on October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead disappeared, and the dead could become dangerous to the living by causing illness, damaged crops, as well as other problems. Costumes and masks were worn at the festival to mimic the evil spirits & placate them.
So today we still continue the costume tradition in a whole new way. Our little ghouls go out and spook houses for buckets of Halloween goodies. But Halloween is not just for kids. For college students and young adults away from home, you can send them a surprise gift basket from Gourmet Gift Baskets!
Inside this Haunted House Halloween fang-tastic four-tiered gift tower, your little monster will discover a variety of otherworldly treats they’ll find impossible to resist. Complete with ghostly good gourmet popcorn, chilling chocolates, and scarily sweet candies, this spooky arrangement is the perfect way to make this Halloween memorable!
The boys were thrilled each time we opened up a box to see the Halloween goodies that were waiting inside. With each open their eyes got wider and there excited was more and more. The popcorn was a nice surprise. My husband loves King of Pop popcorn flavors. In this box we received Buffalo & Confetti. The buffalo is not my cup of tea, so I’ll have to take his word for it that it’s good. The confetti is a caramel corn in 5 different colors. This tower has treats for every taste. The chocolate and skittles were a favorite by everyone.
Halloween is a holiday of fun activities and candy treats for kids and adults alike. Send a Haunted House Halloween Gift Tower, Haunted Halloween Care Package, Goblin’s Grub Popcorn Tin, Witch’s Cauldron Halloween Gift Basket, or Happy Halloween Cookie Cake to someone you love today. They will all remember the fun that you share.

This is a really important step when it comes to healing in any way, and that’s acknowledging your emotions. Women tend to be better at this than men which is why they tend to heal faster after breakups. Men are more likely to distract themselves or push their feelings down, but it only prolongs the pain and will always come out later. So allow yourself to cry, wallow and grieve for what has been lost, there’s no denying it’s a sad time and that needs to be acknowledged before you can move on from it. Speak to friends, journal, work through your feelings. Find ways to relax that don’t involve damaging your body such as alcohol or eating too much. Natural remedies like lavender and cbd oils can be useful and are a safe and effective way to promote relaxation and wellbeing, you can find out more from sources like https://cbdflowerusa.com/ultimate-guide-cbd-isolate/. You could treat yourself to a massage or facial at a spa when you’re feeling better and are ready to stop crying.
Move house
If you shared a home with the person you’re breaking up with, moving to a new place is a good idea. Even if you don’t need to because they’re moving out too, it’s still worth you finding your own place. Get yourself a cute little home just for you, a place that’s just yours. You can decorate it beautifully and to your own tastes and fill it with things you love. Even if it’s only a stop gap, it’s a comfortable little haven that’s just yours and you can use to recover and grow. A home you once shared with a partner will be full of memories and being surrounded by these can make it difficult to properly heal and move on. Whether it’s a small house, a tiny apartment or even a room in a shared home, getting that distance and having your own space is a great way to gain perspective and is one of the best things you can do after breaking up.
Travel
Travel, especially solo travel can be so rewarding and can be a great way to prove to yourself that you’re capable and independent- as well as have fun after you’ve been through a breakup. If you have the time and funds available to you, then travel can really help you throughout the healing process. You won’t be tempted to stay in bed and hide away from the world when you’re in a new, exciting location! Book a trip to somewhere you’ve always wanted to go, rope in some friends to come with you but if you can’t get a travel crew together then just go alone. When you’re in a partnership for so long it is easy to lose some of your independence and when you’re always used to having someone with you, this time alone can be really refreshing and remind you that you can achieve anything. Whether it’s a weekend city break, two weeks in the sunshine or a month backpacking, travel can be just what you need to get back on the right foot after having a breakup, and can help you achieve a clean split too where you’re not on your phone or tempted to call them.
Change your appearance
Changing your appearance after a breakup is certainly nothing new, in fact it’s a stereotypical thing to do once you’ve split up from someone! But there’s a reason for this- and changing your appearance is something well worth doing. Maybe your partner was jealous, controlling or didn’t like you to look a certain way- now is the perfect time to start looking the way you want! A new look also signifies a new change, and if a badass outfit and a new haircut is what it takes to get back out into the world and move on then go for it! Visit a hairdresser and ask them to bring your vision to life, experiment with some new makeup and clothing styles. This can signify the new version of ‘you’ that’s emerging and can be a positive step on your journey to complete healing.
Try new things
Trying new things is something that all of us should be doing, but when you’re in a relationship it’s easy to get lazy. When you have the comfort of another person close by, it’s tempting to spend evenings and weekends lounged on the sofa, rather than getting out there and challenging your body and mind. When you’re on your own again, you can find the motivation to do new things is much increased, so take advantage of this! Set some goals then go out and smash them, put yourself out there and try new things, with no one to answer to and no one to hold you back this can be a fantastic time to put yourself first and figure out what you enjoy. Whether it’s joining a cooking class or climbing a mountain or anything in between, try new things to keep yourself busy and give your life a new sense of purpose.

The Bubble Guppies embark on four magical adventures in the all-new Bubble Guppies: The Puppy and the Ring DVD. Join Molly, Gil and their puppy as they venture through the three magical realms of Bubbledom, a mythical land full of secrets and sorcery, where they’ll meet the spritely Flutterguppies, the fun-loving Snow Guppy and the mysterious Underguppy. This DVD collection also features three additional adventure-filled episodes.
The Bubble Guppies: The Puppy and the Ring includes the following episodes:
The Puppy and the Ring – Bubbledom is in danger when the evil Night Wizard takes the Ring from the benevolent Sun King. Join Molly and Gil as they race to return the Ring of the Sun to its rightful owner by sundown. It could be “night-night” for everyone until the end of time!
Sir Nonny the Nice! – Nonny is on a quest to become a real knight. He has a shield and suit of armor, but does he have what it takes to win a knightly game of mini-golf?
Bubble-Cadabra! – The Bubble Guppies discover magic when they stand in for a missing magician and attempt the world’s greatest trick–making an elephant disappear.
The Wizard of Oz-tralia! – After Molly and Gil meet Bobby, a nature show host from Australia, they can’t wait to learn all about Australian animals. From marsupials to the amazing platypus, the Guppies can’t get enough of the creatures Down Under.
The boys really enjoyed watching this fun filled DVD, but I think it was my 2 year old that was the most enthusiastic about it. My older boys kept trying to compare The Puppy and the Ring to the “Lord of the Rings” and The Wizard of Oz-tralia to the “Wizard of Oz”…I love how the Bubble Guppies make videos that can relate to other movies/shows that the kids may have already seen, this aspect also helps make it fun for the adults as well. They are already asking me to pick up other DVD’s at the store…I guess that would be a thumbs up from all of them!
Produced by Nickelodeon Home Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Home Media Distribution, Bubble Guppies: The Puppy and the Ring is available on DVD as of June 2, 2015 for the suggested retail price of $14.99.

I love getting the boy’s book to go along with seasons & holidays. There’s nothing like looking at their little faces while we snuggle up and read a new book…This spring I was lucky enough to check out the new book Bunny’s First Spring.
Winter can seem dark, gray and bleak, but Spring is a symbol of God’s promises of life renewed. Bestselling author Sally Lloyd-Jones, with help from illustrator David McPhail, celebrates Spring as a season of rebirth in the delightful picture book Bunny’s First Spring.
When a bunny is born in spring, he sees the world as green and new and full of hope. But as the seasons change, the bunny worries that the earth may be dying. But, nature speaks to the bunny, assuring him of something more.
Award-winning artist David McPhail’s whimsical illustrations reflect the beauty of the world around us as Lloyd-Jones’ inspirational text prompts readers to celebrate the changing seasons and the miracle of nature’s rebirth.
Lloyd-Jones concludes Bunny’s First Spring with words of inspiration: “God has written the promise of new life not just in books alone—but in every leaf in Springtime” (from Martin Luther).
A charming baby bunny experiences seasonal changes in his environment throughout his first year of life in this emotion-filled story. In lyrical, soothing prose, the text follows the brown bunny through the four seasons, noting his observations of the changes in nature. The bunny is concerned by the changes he sees in the fall and by the seemingly dead appearance of trees, grass and flowers in winter. His parents and other animals reassure the bunny about the cycle of rebirth, and the bunny celebrates his springtime birthday with joy.
