I owe you a Disney review

Yes I do!

And I am going to rate it in stars....we all know that 5 stars is a good thing.  Right?  Actually it is the BEST, when talking about stars.  4 out of 5 stars is still a really good thing.

So, there you have it.  Disney on Ice: Let's Celebrate earned 3 out of 5 stars.

And since Red Curlz was on the edge of her seat all.night.long...waiting on Toy Story characters, I thought those 3 stars above should be used in my rating system.  I do think it is funny that Red Curlz was so interested in Toy Story?  Considering she has NEVER seen the movie?  Guess that should be my next purchase.

Back to the review.

Now, ahem, those 3 stars above stole the show.  Ha!  Not really, but how cute are they?  They did steal the pre-show while walking in...

I have to say.  I was bored.  And I usually get all excited about this kind of stuff.  I think the girls enjoyed it though.  And that doesn't matter because I was bored is the important part! 

I am pretty sure ALL of the Disney characters were there.  Which is completely cool, but I think that was why I found it boring.  It seemed as if they were ushering in each character to say hello...they did a spin around the rink...and then they were ushering them out so they next one could get ushered in.

Geesh, that's a lot of ushering, if you ask me.  Which you didn't, but I am reporting anyway.  I am pretty sure my face looked like Woody's when we were leaving.  Disappointed and questionable?

And please don't even get me started about the Disney Loot that were hawking everytime you turned a new direction.  $22 for a spinning light is ridiculous.  And $15 for a sno-cone!?!  Take a hike, buddy.  That's just wrong.  Boooooo on Disney!

That's why I received a heads up from a friend and made.our.own.  Take that Disney!


You call me cheap?  I call me smart!  And no-so-broke.




There is Mickey and Minnie and Pluto for your viewing pleasure...


Yes, the show may have been better if we were not seated next to the clouds.  I do understand that.


Snow White...


Red Curlz was impressed.....**golf claps**


...but, not with me.  She was annoyed that I was snapping her picture.  Whatever!


There is Princess Tiana, aka The Princess and The Frog.  She received the warmest reception of the night!


Ahhhh!  That is.much.better!


The Toy Story crew came out last.  And for about maybe 5 minutes.  Maybe. 


And that's all folks! 


Whoops....pretty sure that is Warner Brothers!  Yep, it is.

Take THAT Disney!  Ha.

Too busy pouting...

Sorry I have been missing in action for a while...


I have been too busy pouting.  Yes.  Like a child.


You see....my daddy is sick. 


And I am worried, just a tad. 


So, I am pouting. 


But, I am still around.  And I would appreciate all of your prayers.

Sandra Bullock Adopted a Baby!


And he sure is a cutie!!!  According to People Magazine and TMZ online, the adoption took place in January after years of planning. 

This Texas sweetheart has had a rough go of it in her personal life lately and I wish nothing but the best for Sandra and her new baby boy!

Happy Earth Day

A great way to introduce our kiddos to the environment and how important it is to reduce, reuse and recycle is to lead by example.

Barefoot Books - I am a HUGE fan - has a wonderful array of books to help you on your way.  If we could all be just a tad more conscience of how we do things on a daily basis, we could really make a difference on our beautiful Earth!




Learn how different cultures around the world set out to live in harmony with the natural world.
The seven folk tales are each followed by a hands-on activity that promotes green living
and reinforces the eco-messages of the stories.

Hope you all have a glorious Earth Day and start or continue to LIVE GREEN!

Street Art can be cute


Not all street art is ugly.  It can be cute too.







I'm just sayin'!  Maybe these "vandals," aka "thugs," aka "punks" could and would create beautiful art if we could embrace the act.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, afterall.  And I.love.color!!!!


Besides, it is much more pleasant to ponder all the colors and shapes in street art versus this?  Dontcha think?
