E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial debuts on Blu-Ray on October 9th!

In celebration of Universal Studio's 100th Anniversary, Steven Spielberg's unforgettable movie E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial debuts in a digitally remastered 30th anniversary version Blu-Ray combo pack with Blu-ray, DVD, digital copy and UV.  So pencil Tuesday October 9th into your schedule so you can grab a copy for your family!


If you are new to this film, E.T. is about an imaginative boy Elliot who meets a lost alien and aids him to find his way home before government agents capture him. 

E.T. was the biggest blockbuster of the year in 1982 and even now it is the fourth most successful movie of all time in the US.  I remember seeing this film at the movies when I was little and just being mesmerized with the movie plot and the notion that there were aliens in the sky.  Even now as an adult I see how it captures my own children's imagination and I love how it opens up dialogue in our family about the possibility for other E.T's in the universe.  My children were so happy to see that we received a copy for review.  Movie night got moved up the day we received it.  Our favorite scenes have to be the "E.T. phone home" and when they dressed up for Halloween.  It sure makes you feel old watching a young Drew Barrymore, of course I wished I was her growing up.

I love how the Blu-Ray combo pack also contains a DVD, digital copy & UV.  This way I have a DVD for the house, a copy for my computer and iPad while on the go.  The combo pack also features never before seen footage from the set of the film, deleted scenes and a whole lot more.  I love the E.T. Reunion extra!  This is a movie that I can always go to when the kids need a little quiet time - it also makes me put household chores aside to go snuggle up with my kiddies.

GO BUY IT
Hurry and pre-order the Anniversary Blu-Ray Combo pack on Amazon for only $19.99 + free ship with purchases over $25. 
It lists for $34.98 so that's a Go pre-order it price!

KMart's Big Layaway Giveaway!

This is a sponsored post, I am a Kmart Layaway blogger, though all opinions are my own.

We're quickly approaching the fourth week of school and the start of Fall.  Time certainly flies and soon we'll be gobbling down turkey and getting ready to head out to grab Christmas gifts for friends, family and teachers.  I try to shop all year around but I still find myself scrambling around for last minute holiday gifts.  This year I know I will be super busy at work around November and December so I've already started to make my list.  I've been eyeing up potential Kmart items to place on free layaway for family and friends.  This enables me to be on budget and have my shopping done with ease.

Did you know Kmart offers layaway all year around? I particularly love the online layaway option that no other store offers.  I'm always on the computer so why waste the gas heading to the store when you can shop at the comfort of your own home.

The top items that I will place on my layaway plan are a television and kids toys such as LeapFrog Leappad and the Fisher Price Power Wheels.  I love that I can order these online and then pick them up at the store to save on shipping fees.  Even better is the option to buy in one state and pick up in another.  So perfect for gifting for family who live far away.

Kmart is prepping for the biggest season of giving and offering a Kmart's Big Layaway Giveaway.  There is one layaway giveaway per store per week from 9/9/12 until 11/17/12.  There is no purchase necessary.  What are you waiting for? Get your items on the free layaway plan and grab a chance to win a prize too!  Win Win.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 - Viva La Fiesta Released Today on DVD

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 - Viva La Fiesta is out at the stores TODAY so arm yourself with the $5 printable coupon here on the Disney Movie Rewards website, there's sure to be a deal to be had at Target or a drug store today. 

We already have the first 2 Beverly Hills Chihuahua movies at home and so when the third movie was sent to us for review we put it on straight away because their story lines are just hilarious and certainly keeps my little ones entertained throughout the whole movie.  Join Papi (voiced by George Lopez) and his two- and four-legged family as they move into a posh Beverly Hills hotel, complete with a luxurious doggy spa.  But there’s trouble in puppy paradise when Rosa, the littlest member of the pack, feels smaller and less special than ever. Now it’s up to Papi to help Rosa find – and celebrate – her inner strength, which turns out to be bigger than she ever dreamed.  Overflowing with laughter, love and excitement, this is tail-wagging fun for the whole family! 

I love how Disney involves a fun mix of famous voices because it keeps the parents engaged as we try to figure out the actor's voice.  Also, the dialogue suits parents and kids alike.  The rock band references made me laugh and I'm already a happy camper and hooked simply because of George Lopez's voice presence.  The kids really enjoyed the fanfare and the storyline taught them about the Mexican culture and the importance of family. This is one movie that I'd be happy to let the kids watch over and over.

K'Nex Hammin' Around Building Set Review @KNEX

My son just love building things - he'll set up speed ramps for his cars or crash scenes with his first responder vehicles.  Its a joy to see him spend a lot of time building out of his K'Nex pieces. Its great for me as I know he is using his imagination which helps builds his spatial skills and help with math problems - the quietness in the house is always added bonus.  The K'Nex box is one of the first things that gets played with when his friends come over for playdates.

K'Nex has launched a HAMMIN' AROUND BUILDING SET
 
This is a great mix of K'NEX and Angry Birds! With the Hammin' Around set you get to actually build and destroy a level from the original Angry Birds game! Launch Red Bird and Orange Bird to destroy King Pig, Small Minion Pig, and Medium Minion Pig. Includes a working launcher just like the game, enough parts to build and knock down, and a Ham. Everything included works with other K'NEX Angry Birds sets. Perfect for builders ages 5+.

My son was super excited when I showed him what came in the mail!  We have all versions of the Angry Birds app on our iPhones so its great to actually be able to build a 3D version yourself.  Immediately my son sat down to build the set and in no time we all sat around to see the launcher.  It was easy to knock down the minion pigs who were perched precariously on the K'nex ledges.  I must admit we all gave it a go and now when my son comes back from school he heads over to the set to have a play.  He knows when we've been playing in his absence because we don't set the display back up just the way he likes it.

BUY IT

Engage your children's minds with fun imaginative toys.  Purchase your K'Nex Hammin' Around Building Set online at the K'Nex online store or checkout at Amazon.

Disclosure: I received a K'NEX product for the purpose of our honest review. All opinions are of my own, others may vary.

Bra Types

  

 As soon as I was old enough I worked at the weekend and after school for extra money.  My first job was at a burger joint, I soon progressed to a shoe store and then onto a department store.  One of my favorite positions at the department store was in the Lingerie department.  I went on an offsite training to be a professional bra fitter.  Who knew I needed an 8 hour training to be certified? But after the training it was clear that there is more to buying a bra than meets the eye.

 Not only do you have to find a style that suits you and you feel comfortable in, you also need to check what size it is that you actually need. Many women don’t know it but depending upon your hormone levels and even slight fluctuations in weight, the shape and size of our chest can change dramatically. That is why women are recommended to go for bra fittings every 6 months and have different bras to counter these changes. However; finding your correct size is the easy bit - next you are faced with rails upon rails of different types of bras. 

Let’s have a look at the most popular ones out there. 

 One of the most popular types of bra on the market today is the t-shirt bra; almost all women will have at least one of these types of bra. It is designed so that it does not have any raised seams meaning it can be worn under a tight t-shirt without it being seen. One of the most practical everyday bras is the full support bra. As the name suggests, this bra offers full support for the breasts and is one of the most comfortable bras available. These come in both underwired and non-wired varieties and can also be padded. 

 Padded bras are another popular type of bra. These have padding inside the lining and are designed to give a fuller shape to smaller breasts; however, unlike push up bras, padded bras tend to only support the breasts rather than significantly lift them in any way. Minimizer bras are designed to have the opposite effect to push up or padded bras. They are there to flatten the breast and create the illusion of being a cup size or two smaller than they actually are. These bra types are often found to be more comfortable than other bras. I often save money by going to get fitted in-store and then searching online for bras.  A brand where you can find a variety of such bras and other bra styles are Panache Bras.
