Sending time with my boys watching Halloween movies is one of my favorite things to do! We love to bring our foods and drinks that fit the mood. I found this great drink, Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer..the name just screams Halloween!
Some wizards claim that this brew places a ward of protection on those who drink it and that consuming this product has been known to accelerate wizarding abilities in borderline wizard cases.
This delicious beverage is the first wizarding drink to have widespread cross over consumption in the non wizarding world.
A magical refreshment for wizards and unrealized wizards alike.
I recently found some at my local World Market, and didn’t buy enough to begin with…but when I went back they were all sold out! These drinks were flying off the shelves (pun intended)! I had to order more for our weekend of Harry Potter! They were a perfect addition to our Harry Potter marathon…The kids loved drinking them out of the bottle, but I had to put mine into a mug and add some “froth” to it..lol..adding food and drink to your movies really ups the experience and makes memories that will last a lifetime!
If you find some in your local store buy at least 12! I’m telling you they are popular and go quickly! You can also purchase them online which might be the way to go at this point…

Even though my hubby works in the tire industry, they are required to keep a professional appearance which includes shaving daily. I’ve bought him a few travel electric razors in the past for those days where he’s running late and needs a shave on the go, but he didn’t seem to care for either of them very much. Lets face it, the world has gone tech, so I was excited to try out the ShaveTech electric razor.
This innovative electric razor will revolutionize your shaving experience, whether you are at home or traveling the world! Its sleek, fashion forward design is no larger than a smart phone, making it the must-have grooming accessory for every tech savvy man on-the-go.
The ShaveTech is available in two sleek colors, lustrous black and fresh white, both of which are trimmed in brushed silver.
Before he even used the razor he thought it was pretty cool. It’s pretty small, sleek and convenient to carry, plus the ShaveTech uses USB powered state-of-the-art technology, so that you can charge it anywhere! So if he forgets to bring it in and charge it he can use the usb charger in the truck or even the one at work! No batteries to buy is a major plus for me!
This has been the only travel razor that he doesn’t complain about, he actually likes it! He said it doesn’t hurt his face and leaves him with the professional look that he needs. I’m thinking he might need another one, because I know he’s going to use the heck out of this one!
If you have a man who you are looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for, check out ShaveTech! It’s innovative and practical.

Halloween is my second favorite time of year, and my hubbies favorite. Throw in my 7-year-olds birthday around Halloween, and you know we have to do it big. We love to throw a good Halloween/Birthday party where there’s plenty of treats, spooks and things to do. While I was in LA earlier this month for the #DoctorStrangeEvent we also celebrated Finding Dory coming to Blu-ray Halloween style!
We joined Master Pumpkin Carver, Joseph Yakovetc to learn how to carve pumpkins properly…and all these years I thought I was doing a good job! Let’s go over some tips from the Master Carver himself.
TIP 1. Find a pumpkin with a good healthy stem. The stem sill has nutrients that feed the pumpkin and keep it healthy.
Lets talk about design and carving…
Things you will need:
Printable/Color Page
Transfer Paper
Pen/Pencil
Sharpie
2-4 Push Pins
Baby Wipes
Paint (colors depend on project)
Getting Started:
TIP 2. Don’t cut the stem off the top, this actually makes you pumpkin die…see #1…Instead cut a hole out in the back of your pumpkin, it will last longer and be easier to light.
Lets Get Started “carving”
Clean your pumpkin well with a wipe.
Now you are ready to pin your selected design backed by tracing paper to your pumpkin. Trace every line with your pen/pencil. Once you have that done you can remove the papers and follow outlines with a
Once you have that done you can remove the papers and follow outlines with a permanent marker…you may need to clean your marker now and then to keep it fresh.
Use your baby wipes to clean off surface from graphite paper, you will be left permanent marker lines.
Paint any areas you want to be colored.
Take carving utensil and outline the outside of the design.
Then you will pick areas that you will scrape out…for Dory, we scraped out the eyes and teeth

TIP 3. Use an old CD to clean out your pumpkin. The larger surface area and curve makes cleaning out pumpkins quick and easy. Joseph Yokovetc can clean a pumpkin in 30 seconds with this method.
TIP 4. Don’t let your pumpkin sit directly on the pavement, instead use a trivet or table to keep it elevated, and bring it in each night to help it say healthier longer.
FUN FINDING DORY ACTIVITY SHEETS
The summer blockbuster hit, Disney•Pixar’s “Finding Dory,” swims home just in time for the holidays on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere (DMA) on Oct. 25 and on Blu-ray 3D™, Blu-ray, DVD and On-Demand on Nov. 15. Viewers can watch Dory’s hilarious and heartwarming quest to find her family and continue the underwater adventure with hours of immersive bonus features.
The film’s playful and plentiful bonus offerings include “Piper,” the theatrical short film starring an irresistible sandpiper hatchling; an all-new mini short featuring interviews with Dory’s pals from the Marine Life Institute; a behind-the-scenes look at the most challenging character Pixar has ever created; never-before-seen deleted scenes, including a digital exclusive featuring the Tank Gang from “Finding Nemo” who make it their mission to get Marlin and Nemo to the Marine Life Institute; and much, much more.
Thirteen years after the original, audiences get a new chapter in the story of their favorite forgetful blue tang. As returning director Andrew Stanton describes, “I realized that I was worried about Dory. The idea of her short-term memory loss and how it affected her was unresolved. What if she got lost again?” His response is a touching tale of friendship and family that’s truly unforgettable … perhaps even for Dory.
Bonus features include*:
Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray & Digital HD:
Theatrical Short: “Piper” – A hungry sandpiper hatchling ventures from her nest for the first time to dig for food by the shoreline. The only problem is that the food is buried beneath the sand where scary waves roll up onto the shore.

Creature Features – The cast of “Finding Dory” share cool facts about the creatures they voice in the film.
Deep in the Kelp – Disney Channel’s Jenna Ortega guides us on a research trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to show how far the “Finding Dory” crew went to make Dory’s world feel real.

Consisting of sand and other natural ingredients, the only way to describe the feeling of this material is sublime! Sands Alive is 100% organic and never dries out. It is non-toxic, bacteria free, water soluble, and is soft to the touch when you mold it, squish it, and can be played with again and again!
When you first open the bag of sand, loosen it up with your hands and let the sand breath. It is recommended that you let the sand breath for 12-24 hours before play. This will help it become light and fluffy. The sand is super soft, very light and has an airy consistency. It’s so fun to play with…as I had it airing out everyone who would walk by would have to stop and play for a few minutes…or 20.
Once you’re ready to create glowing works of art in your sand, use the Sands Alive! glow tool to “draw” in the sand & the LED glasses to charge and enhance the glow of the sand as you build and play. The best part..other than the glowing and fun airy sand…Sands Alive never dries out! If your kids leave it out all night, they can come back to it the next day and it’s still ready to play with!
Sands Alive! is also:
Water Soluble
Non-toxic
Easy to clean up
Great for hours and hours of creative sensory fun!

Raising 4 kids we have plenty of traffic in and out of the house constantly throughout the day. That traffic leaves the carpet looking pretty run through.
