 Top 5 Film Fairies 

Inspired by TOOTH FAIRY 2

The comedy with bite is back and funnier than ever; TOOTH FAIRY 2 arrives on Blu-ray and DVD March 6 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. The one man comedy phenomenon, Blue Collar Comedy Tour’s Larry the Cable Guy (Cars, Cars 2, and History Channel’s Only in America) sinks his teeth into this outrageous follow-up to the 2010 theatrical hit Tooth Fairy. 

In TOOTH FAIRY 2, Larry becomes part of a long list of awesome fairies on film. This feature will explore our top five favorite fairies, including Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Tinker Bell in Hook.

 

Enter at the bottom of this feature to win a copy of TOOTH FAIRY 2 on DVD!

Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream

 

Stanley Tucci stars as Puck in the 1999 film adaptation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In this adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic comedy, Tucci’s Puck is a clever and mischievous sprite, who, under the tutelage of King Oberon (played by Rupert Everett), plays tricks on unsuspecting lovers who wander into the forest which he inhabits. His hijinks include making people fall in love with each other, facilitating mud wrestling, and giving an amateur actor the head of an ass.

 

Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2

 

Jennifer Saunders voices the evil Fairy Godmother in 2004’s Shrek 2. This atypical fairy godmother is more of a self-involved business woman than the selfless fairy that people imagine, making shady deals, running a heartless factory, and using her magic for personal gain. However, Fairy Godmother’s shining moment may be when she performs a stellar rendition of “Holding Out For a Hero” at the royal ball, before being disintegrated by her own spell.

Frugal Outdoor Decor & Privacy Barrier - Garden Trellis

It's hard for my to think of spring gardening when we have gotten 12" of snow within the past 24 hours, but I know warmer weather will be here soon.  Although, with the way it looks outside today, warmer weather can't get here soon enough.

My spring project this year is to spruce up the front of our house with new plants, shrubs, flowers, flower pots and trellises!  Trellises come in a variety of styles and colors and add a beautiful touch to any yard or garden.  They can also double as a privacy barrier.

A beautiful garden trellis would be the perfect addition to our home.  I only have one dilemma, choosing which one I want.  

There are so many beautiful styles to choose from that the decision is proving to be difficult.  A vinyl trellis is a frugal and easy way to change the look and feel of any yard.  They are easy to install and require very little maintenance.

I'd love to have a beautiful trellis with vibrant flowers and green ivy growing all around it.  I think they add a touch of elegance to any home or garden.

Carousel Gumball Machine - Review & Giveaway

Gumballs were a favorite childhood treat of mine and I remember how excited my siblings and I were when we got our very own vintage gumball machine for Christmas one year.  I was recently able to re-live that excitement by watching the look on my children's faces when they received their very first Junior Carousel Gumball Machine with a supply of gumballs! 

 At Gumballs.com you'll find a great selection of gumball machines, bulk candy and so much more.  Perfect for your home, office or business!  From mini to jumbo, you're sure to find the perfect bubble gum machine!

Gumball machines are fun, decorative and versatile!  They aren't only for gumballs - my kids love putting jelly beans in theirs too! They also get very excited when the coin compartment is full and they get to count the money inside.  Added bonus: Great learning tool and they have fun!

The Junior Carousel Gumball Machine Features: 

• Real glass gumball machine globe
• Cast metal gumball machine base, lid, and coin mechanism
• Accepts any coins (quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies)
• Includes instructions for "free spin" to work without coins
• Works as a gumball bank - retrieve coins when full

Crazy Parenting Tricks: What Works for You?

I know that the purpose of the bathroom isn't for it to be used as a hideaway, but it's often the only place that a mom can get a little time of her own.  I don't know how many times I've been in the bathroom and heard that dreaded knocking on the door, followed by... "Mom, what are you doing?  I need you!"

Hosted by comedian, actress and mom Sherri Shepherd, The Clorox Lounge is turning the bathroom into the laughroom with hilarious anecdotes, fun contests, exciting giveaways, money saving coupons and the perfect amount of comic relief.   Their exciting activities will kick-off with the Last Comic Sitting Competition and Sweepstakes, beginning on February 27th, 2012!

Did I tell you that you'll have the chance to win $10,000?  That's right!  Simply visit The Clorox Lounge to sign-up and be automatically entered for a chance to win the top prize.  Imagine what you could do with $10,000! 

As a mother of two children, I pride myself in the gift of being able to "trick" or as I like to say, "encourage" my children to do certain things!  Here are just a few of my favorite parenting tricks:

Make it FUN: My children absolutely LOVE shoveling snow, picking up pinecones in the yard and helping with the laundry.  They don't think of it as doing chores because we make it fun with games and songs!

Make it a race:  You'd be amazed at how quickly toys get picked up when the kids think it's a race!  

Sneak it in:  If they don't know it's there, they aren't going to throw a fit!  Finely shredded vegetables are the perfect ingredient to bread, soups, spaghetti and most meals that you prepare.

Moms are famous for being able to multi-task and adapt to unexpected obstacles that are thrown our way.  It's up to us to stick together and share what we know, and make sure that we raise happy, healthy children!

Make it Personal - Send a Thank You Note!

Too many people forget about the important things in life and saying thank you happens to fall into that category!  Even in this day and age of emails and text messages, I'm a person that is still HUGE on written thank you notes.  

My children are only 8 and 11 years old and already know the importance of sending thank you's for every gift they receive.  

From birthday gifts to Christmas gifts and everything in between, they write a thank you note for every one of them!

A personal letter can make the world of difference and it lets the person know that you truly appreciate their time and effort!  Thank you letters are the perfect way to say thanks and keep in contact with those who are important to you!

Fun Franchise Alternative-Little Jimmy's Italian Ice!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of littlejimmys for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I know that the weather is still cold, but warmer weather is quickly approaching and that means cool treats!  Two of my children's favorites are slushies and Italian Ice! Italian Ice is a sweet dessert treat that has been around for centuries.  Little Jimmy's Italian Ice recipe consists of a water-based, fat-free, dairy-free, cholesterol-free, and high fructose corn syrup-free gourmet dessert in a variety of delicious, fruity flavors!

Imagine how popular you would be and how much fun it would be to sell Italian Ice all summer long.  Where would you sell?  The possibilities are endless... at the park, school and community events, at the beach, at the fair, in front of the grocery store, on the sidewalk outside of your home and the list goes on and on!  Anywhere there are people is the perfect place!

The great thing about Little Jimmy's Italian Ices is that it's a great business opportunity that fits your schedule!  They are the perfect size for easy transport from one location to another and they require zero electricity!  Which also makes it convenient and "green!"

Imagine being able to have fun, meet new people, put a smile on their face and make money all at the same time.  It's a win-win situation!

Lockers for Kids - A Fun Way to Stay Organized!

I remember the first day of junior high and how I was so excited to get a locker of my very own.  As a younger student, I always thought it was so cool that the older kids had lockers!  As I would walk past on my way to lunch or recess, I thought of how I would organize and decorate my kids locker when I got one!

Now it seems that there are lockers for kids everywhere you go, in the Kindergarten classroom, in retail stores, at the gym and even at the local waterpark!  

In fact, each of my children have a foot locker in their bedroom and it's where they keep all of their "special" items that they want to keep safe.

Childrens lockers are the ideal storage and space-saver!  Whether at home or in the classroom, being able to maximize space and keep things organized is essential!  We have a cubby system in our basement/playroom and it's the perfect way to keep my children's toys tidy and organized making them easy to find!

How do you keep your children's toys and other items organized?
