Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life, A Fun Family DVD Starring Mira Sorvino and Joe Pantoliano!

noreply@blogger.com (AtHomeMoma) — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 21:34:00 +0000

Thanks to Child's Play Communications and Phase 4 Films, I was sent a Family Friendly Movie called Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life to review here on At Home Moma.

This movie, which is directed by Tamar Halpern, and stars Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino and Emmy Award winner Joe Pantoliano, is based on a popular children's novel by Wendy Mass. The story, which centers around a young man named Jeremy Fink (played by Maxwell Beer), follows Jeremy and his friend Lizzy as they embark on an adventure after he receives mysterious box with the words "The Meaning of Life - for Jeremy Fink to open on his 13th birthday." Since the box has no keys, the two set out on a hunt to find them. Along the way they get into all kinds of mischief, meet interesting people, and eventually find what they are looking for.

I watched this movie with my almost 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter. They both liked it, and even though it was rated PG, I do not think it was inappropriate for them to watch. I enjoyed watching the movie as well, and since it has some interesting twists to it, it kept my son's and my interest. I do think my son enjoyed watching the antics of the character Lizzy and the character Oswald played by Joe Pantoliano the most, however, some of the content did go over his head.

In my opinion, this movie is geared more towards preteens. The main character is 12 going on 13 and he and his friend, travel around New York City by themselves. In addition, the father of Jeremy has passed away, so that is discussed to some extent and may be a little tough for younger viewers to understand.

This movie is set to be released to the public on DVD, on demand and in digital on March 6, 2012. It is rated PG with a run time of 88 minutes. The suggested retail is $29.99 and it contains special features with deleted scenes, bloopers, interviews with the cast, and a digital download of Chapter One as read by the author Wendy Mass.

Fun Times at Target's Dr. Seuss Storytime of "The Lorax"! Lots of Books Read, Goody Bags, and Coupons!

noreply@blogger.com (AtHomeMoma) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 22:11:00 +0000

We got an opportunity this past Saturday to attend the Dr. Seuss Reading Time of "The Lorax" at our local Target Store. This was a FREE nationwide event that is part of the NEA's Read Across America Program and occurs annually. In addition, it also included readings of other Dr. Seuss Books.

The kids had a great time listening to various Target employees read the stories. They listened very intently to each book including Green Eggs and Ham, Go Dog Go, and many more.

Plus, they were provided a nice recyclable goody bag that had a juice box, fruit snacks, chicadees (like goldfish crackers), stickers, a Lorax mustache, crayons, coloring page and coupons including a $2.00 off coupon for $10 or more Dr. Seuss book. I went ahead and bought the kids "The Lorax" with the coupon since the book was only $8.00.

Since I now know about this event, I will definitely be looking to attend it with the kids next year.

We Finally Got Our FREE Preschool Passes to Busch Gardens and SeaWorld! Florida Residents Don't Delay!

noreply@blogger.com (AtHomeMoma) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 05:31:00 +0000

We made it!

I have to admit, I was getting a little worried, my son turns 6 in a couple weeks, and that is the cut off to get the FREE Preschool Pass to Busch Gardens and SeaWorld for Florida Residents. Once we have the pass, we are set till the end of the year, but getting there was another issue.

Between parties, kids being sick, me being sick, it seemed like we were not going to make the deadline. We even attempted to go last Friday, but it rained as soon as we got there, so I told my son we would head up after school to try to get it again.

We made it today, with time to spare. We got into the park around 4:30, had some French Fries, refilled our cup from years past, (discounted refills), and walked around the park. My son even got to ride a couple rides.

I am so glad that is over.

My Zatarain's Brings Mardi Gras Home House Party! Awesome Food and So Much Fun!

noreply@blogger.com (AtHomeMoma) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:59:00 +0000

I am so glad I was given an opportunity to host a Zatarain's Brings Mardi Gras Home House Party. This party was an absolute blast!

To get my party started, House Party sent me a box with FREE items including coupons, 2 Zatarain's Rice Mixes, Creole Seasoning, Mustard, Root Beer Extract, Recipes, a Spatula, and a Pot holder.

Jambalaya Maque Choux Recipe

For my event, I decided to make the Zatarain's Red Beans and Rice and the Jambalaya Maque Choux minus the corn (favorite dish by party goers). Plus, I found a recipe for Gumbo like my Grandmother used to make and I just omitted the fish.

Seafood Gumbo Recipe

In addition, I used the enclosed Creole Seasoning on Salmon. I simply cooked the Salmon on the stove at medium high and brushed it with margarine and sprinkled it with the Creole Seasoning. It tasted wonderful.

My kit also came with a recipe for King Cake Cupcakes. Of course I improvised and turned this into a King Cake by using a Yellow Cake mix and adding a Tablespoon of the Root Beer Extract into a pre-made mix of icing. I put some sprinkles on top, and it was yummy!

King Cake Cupcakes Recipe

I also found a Cajun Radio Station called Gumbo Radio on Live365.com to help set the mood, and put beads and Mardi Gras Masks around the house for decoration.

I think the adults enjoyed wearing the masks!

After we ate, we also made Mardi Gras masks with the kiddos. They had a great time with this craft.

To learn how to make these as well, visit: Make your Own Mardi Gras Mask

The food was awesome, and the company was great! I hardly had any leftovers. Thank you House Party and Zatarain's for a great party concept!

Make Your Own Mardi Gras Mask! Fun and Easy Craft!

noreply@blogger.com (AtHomeMoma) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:57:00 +0000

In preparation of the Zatarain's Marti Gras Party I was having, I decided to put together a fun and easy craft for the kiddos. I had actually made a similar craft at Michael's with the kids a couple months ago, so I knew where to go to get my supplies.

I spent around $14 and with that I got 3 packs of masks, glitter glue, feathers, and adhesive stickers. And, I had plenty of leftovers, so I am sure I can recycle these into other future crafts.

If you have plenty of time in advance, the glitter glue works great, however since these were going to be masks that the kids would be wearing immediately, I used the glitter glue to decorate in my trial run. In addition, I figured out that it is best to just tape the feathers together in a bunch at the bottom, and then tap them all to the back of the mask.

These are the two masks I made.

Here are the kiddos putting their masks together.

I think these turned out great, and the kiddos had a great time making their own creations!

So here is what you need:

- black masks

- glitter glue

- feathers

- adhesive stickers

- tape

- and lots of imagination!

Enjoy!

Review of The Fat Boy Chronicles, An Anti-Bullying Movie And A Must See For Middle Schoolers.

noreply@blogger.com (AtHomeMoma) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 18:59:00 +0000

I was sent a movie to review from Phase4Films called, The Fat Boy Chronicles. This film, which touches on many subjects including bullying and self esteem in teens, was inspired by a true story. It is directed by Jason Winn and is based on the acclaimed novel by Diane Lang and Michael Buchanan.

This movie addresses many of the issues that children and teenagers may face in their lives. Whether it may be abuse at home, poor self image, bullying at school, or academic issues, the theme is that no one is perfect, and so we should not judge our peers. The main character Jimmy Winterpock is over weight and because of this, he is tormented by his school mates, and lacks self confidence. He decides to focus on losing weight, exercises, and through this change, regains his self confidence and even a girlfriend by the end of the movie.

I feel that this is must see for children heading into a middle school situation. I remember that puberty was the time that a lot of teasing began in my school years. The early teens, are a really hard time for boys and girls alike because so much is changing physically and mentally. Plus, teens become more independent in their studies at this point and how you are treated in life can affect how well you perform academically.

This is a movie that teaches those who might bully, how it affects others, and it shows those who may feel different, that they are not alone. As a parent, you may want to watch the film ahead of time, and I highly suggest watching this with your kids, so you can answer any questions that they may have.

To learn more about, The Fat Boy Chronicles visit thefatboychronicles.com. The movie in Not Rated, runs 78 minutes and retails at $29.99.

If you are looking for the movie, I recently saw it at a Redbox location, and here is a link to it at Amazon The Fat Boy Chronicles.

Build-A-Bear Workshop and the Friends Count Campaign! Join Them For the Celebration!

noreply@blogger.com (AtHomeMoma) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:26:00 +0000

In honor of their 15th birthday and the celebration of their 100 millionth furry friend being made, Build-A-Bear Workshop wants to spread the word that Friends Count! Whether your best friend is one of your longtime gal pals, your spouse, your pet, or even your teddy bear, we can all agree that our friends have made our lives so much better.

Build-A-Bear has asked bloggers to share Build-A-Bear Workshop's awesome milestones along with telling a personal story about how Friends Count. I was more than happy to participate in this campaign, because Build-A-Bear has been apart of my family's lives for a long while. Since the first time we took our son to the Dinosaur Version in Orlando, where he got Tony T-Rex, to the time when my daughter got her first Build-A-Bear named Kitty Cat, we have really enjoyed this keepsake toy. And just yesterday, I redeemed my coupons for Free Tees from the McDonald's Happy Meal for my daughter's new little friends.

So here is my personal story:

After I had my first child, my husband and I made the decision for me to become a stay at home mom. I felt very isolated in the beginning and out of touch because I was used to being in the workplace for so many years. I felt conflicted with the person I was and for the first 2 years did not really engage with other moms. I struggled to adjust to my new role in life, and not until I joined a local mom's group, did I start to engage again.

Through the many activities and moms I met, I began to adjust better to being a stay at home mom and felt confident in the up bringing of my son and my role as a mother. I made some great friends and learned a lot, plus I was able to contribute as well! Now that I am expecting my 3rd child, I am looking forward to getting involved in more activities.

The friends I made in the mom's group, really mean a lot to me and definitely do count!

To learn more about this important milestone and to share your own Friends Count story, visit www.buildabear.com.

At Home Moma

Build-A-Bear has teamed up with MomSelect to offer bloggers the opportunity to win 1 of 15 $50 gift cards from Build-A-Bear Workshop just for being the bearers of good news and sharing Build-A-Bear Workshop's awesome milestones along with telling a personal story about how Friends Count.
