HOP is the story of the teenage heir to the Easter Bunny enterprise who really just wants to be a rock star. Aptly voiced by Russell Brand, E.B. sets out on an adventure, eventually connecting with Fred, played by James Marsden. The trailer is below.When it came out last year, I had full intention to…
Updated: For my full review, please visit over here. This week, I’ve been sampling The Fresh Diet. It’s a diet plan that consists of fresh meals that are delivered straight to your home. Now, here’s the deal. I’m not a big believer in “dieting.” I do believe in eating well, but I’m pretty much failing…
I’m always on the lookout for good family games that allow people of different ages to play with a level playing field. It’s a bonus for me if they are portable and thought-provoking. The first time I saw Spot it! was at the Marbles: The Brain Store grand opening and I thought it was pretty…
Toyota is giving away 100 cars for nonprofits who can use them to help further their mission. The application deadline is March 26 or when they receive 5000 completed applications. You don’t want to wait on this one. Last year Toyota picked their top applicants and then put them up for a vote in groups…
After our most recent experience at Disney on Ice, I was torn about bringing Bug along to Disney on Ice Presents Dare to Dream. In addition to his issues with the sound, this particular show focuses heavily on princesses. In fact, it tells the stories of Tiana, Cinderella, and Rapunzel. But when I asked, he…

The HEXBUG Nano Zip Line Starter Set has been sought-after for quite some time. I got my first peek at Time to Play last fall, but you couldn’t buy it anywhere. Now this gem is available on the HEXBUG website. It retails for $24.99. I did a video review of the HEXBUG Zip Line so…
I got my first look at Brave while in NYC for Toy Fair. Mattel has some beautiful dolls and play sets that go along with the movie. But now I can’t wait to see it! Merida, the lead character, reminds me of LadyBug with her wild curls and equally wild spirit. Brave is due out…
I was chatting with a friend the other day about Whitney Houston and how difficult it must be to deal with the highs and lows of being a star. One minute, you’re on top of the world, the next people barely remember you exist. And as we were talking, something dawned on me. Bloggers go…
Big Guy and I LOVE fondue. We were so excited to introduce the kids to fondue earlier this month! LadyBug loved the bread (which I made from scratch) and the kielbasa. She wanted nothing to do with the cheese! Bug tried the cheese and decided that he wanted “just a little” on his food. In…
