STELLALUNA Review and Giveaway

2012-02-15T16:19:17Z

If your kids are anything like mine, every once in a while they discover a movie so much that they have to watch it over and over and over and over again until they’ve memorized the whole movie. Then they watch it a few more times just for fun. We just received STELLALUNA the mail to review this morning, and already my children have watching it three times and they were angry when I turned off the television and told them that it was time to hang out with me. (Okay, I guess that’s not the strongest endorsement, but they really did love the move!)

Based on the beloved, best-selling children’s book by Janell Cannon, the fun-filled animated feature STELLALUNA follows a spirited young fruit bat who finds friendship, love and acceptance in the most unexpected places!

When the adorable young fruit bat Stellaluna is separated from her mother, she’s adopted by a family of birds. Soon, however, she discovers finds that she just can’t fit in. Her playmates like to sleep at night; she wants to fly. They whistle and sing; she doesn’t even have a beak! But just when it seems like Stellaluna will always be an outsider, she makes an amazing discovery that’ll help her to cherish the things that make her different. And, she’ll also discover that an open mind and an open heart can lead to the greatest gifts of all.

I have to say that I am really digging this movie. It’s funny, it has a great message, and the kids are in love. Luckily for us all, STELLALUNA will hit the streets on Tuesday, February 14th (just in time for a last minute Valentine’s Day gift to the kiddos). The movie also comes with some great bonus features including:

Stellaluna Activity Booklet
A Read Along Function…….. AND
A Sing-Along Feature

STELLALUNA will be available for purchase at a store near you on Tuesday, Febrary 14, 2012.

Modern Money Saving Techniques

2012-02-15T15:18:44Z

Saving money is always a goal for many men and women. Unfortunately, putting away more cash in this modern world of new gadgets, interesting new inventions and constantly improving technology can seem like a tough task. While it might seem hard to save money, modern saving techniques are actually easier than many individuals might expect.
Pay in Cash

Paying in cash is a great way to start saving money because it cuts out the credit card expenses. By eliminating credit card expenditures, it is possible to cut back on added costs in fees, interest, over-limit charges and any other additions that come with a credit card.

Not only does it cut back on added costs of a credit card, paying in cash also helps on a mental level. It prevents overspending when the cards are left at home and forces the mind to think about whether the expense is actually necessary or if it is just an impulse purchase that ultimately is not needed.

Set a Savings Goal

Setting a goal helps improve savings by reaching toward a set amount. A goal can be as small as putting aside about $100 a month or as large as putting aside several thousand in a year. Regardless of the particular goal, it helps improve savings to try reaching toward a particular number.

Ideally, setting short term weekly and monthly goals as well as a long term yearly goal can improve success because those short term savings add up quickly and result in feeling that it is possible to reach the larger number of a long term goal.

Cook at Home More Often

Eating out at a restaurant is a convenient way to get meals, but it is also less healthy and more expensive than eating a home. In general, it is best to limit eating out for lunch and dinner to a minimum and opt for cooking at home instead. Eating a home will not only result in a less expensive food cost by the end of the month, it will also cause a healthier eating lifestyle by cutting back on elements like sodium that are found in many restaurants.

Even eating out at a fast food place for a family of four can add up to three or four days of grocery costs when it is ultimately calculated on a monthly basis.

Taking measures to save money in this modern world is easier than most people think. Setting a goal and taking measures to cut back on expenses will ultimately result in reaching those goals and having more money set aside when it is needed.

Any Home Improvements Taking Place?

We don’t have a lot of paint choices in our small little valley. We do surprisingly have a Sherman Williams and I love the quality of paint they offer. I can get by with one less coat of paint usually which makes up for the extra couple of dollars it costs.
