I thought this was entertaining so I thought I would share it. DJ Earworm just released his annual “United State of Pop” mashup, which features the 25 most popular songs of the year, according to Billboard magazine. I found it to be a fun listen.
LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA’HOOLE SOARS ONTO BLU-RAY 3D COMBO PACK
As far as the new release Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole on Blu-Ray combo pack goes, I feel like the DVD and it’s images speaks for itself. This movie is so visually striking. I am sad that I missed it in the theaters because it is simply beautiful. The animation is amazing and it is a movie that everyone, from the youngest family member to the oldest (and wisest!) can all watch and enjoy together. Legend of the Guardians is a movie that I definitely recommend to everyone I know.
SYNOPSIS
While Soren dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal his father’s favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd’s jealousy has terrible consequences–causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians–Soren’s only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.
Here is a clip so you can see how amazing the movie truly is:

Dealicious Mom & Snow… Not Sure This is a Good Idea–Suggestions?
This weekend my family leaves for a trip to Lake Tahoe, where “Deal”icious Dad and many many weather reports have been telling me that it is very, very cold and covered with snow. Now, I am the first to admit that this California girl ( born and raised) is not very good with cold and snow. I am telling you, if the thermostat hits less than 65 degrees I am bundled up like I should be in Alaska. I am not kidding. Most days you will find me under a blanket on the coach (even during the summer here in California) so this brings me to my point.
My boys have all the necessities (I think) but please let me know if I need more. They have awesome, warm, cute, jackets and coveralls from The North Face (they have a new line just for infants and toddlers), snow boots, mittens, beanies and all that jazz! Me on the other hand, I have Uggs (which I wear 24/7 anyway!), a beanie, and some gloves. Please please tell me what I need! I know I have great readers all over the world that live in very cold climates who know all the tricks of the trade to staying warm and I need to stay warm for three days! HELP!
What do I need to stay warm in the snow?
Seriously Mom–You’re Going to Skate Too? Is That a Good Idea? (Heelys Hx2 Review)
Hx2 provides fun for kids of all ages, including kids at heart!
I am definitely a still a kid at heart! When I got a chance to review a pair of Hx2 Heelys, you could say I was excited (to say the least!). I knew my son would be super excited to find a pair of these under the tree but I knew the even more exciting part for him was going to see me trying to skate in my new pair of Hx2 Heelys.
Heelys and I know that the world of skating can be daunting for little ones just getting started – that’s why Heelys has developed a new shoe that makes it easy for younger children to get in on the fun! Heelys, creators of popular wheeled footwear, presents the all-new Hx2 for kids as young as 4 years old. Hx2 teaches youngsters balance and caution while learning the basics. Plus as if I do not embarrass myself enough, the Hx2 will also come in up to a size women’s 9, too, so moms can be there every step (and roll!) of the way! Of course if you are anything like me on Christmas morning, your little boy or girl will be rolling away on their Heelys like a pro and you will be stumbling and acting like a fool trying to stay on your feet while everyone else giggles and video tapes the whole thing… or is that just me ![]()
What makes the Hx2 different from other Heelys shoes?
Instead of one large wheel, the Hx2 has two smaller, removable wheels in each shoe. Not only is it easier to maintain balance, but wearers of the Hx2 do not require as much leg strength to lift their toes to skate. (thanks goodness for that!) As beginners get the hang of skating, the Hx2 can be converted into a regular pair of Heelys for a more challenging ride simply by removing one of the wheels. It’s like training wheels for your feet!
Now athletes of all ages and skill levels can use Heelys to walk, run and transition to a roll at any moment.
The fall Hx2 styles are available now at select retailers for $54.99, and come in sizes 12C-3. The available color combinations are:
- White and silver with glossy pink details
- White and red with bold black details
Heelys just released its holiday HX2 styles on the Heelys Shop. For $54.99, in sizes 12C-3 there will be the following colors:
- Black and gray with bright yellow trim
- Shiny blue and green with black trim
For those of us who are still kids at heart, Heelys released the Hx2 on the Heelys Shop in up to an adult size 9! Now parents can tag along as kids learn and get a fun workout, too!
For $54.99, adult size HX2s will be available in up to a size 9 in the following styles: Sky blue canvas with white accent stitching Black canvas with pink accent stitchingEach pair carries an X2 logo on the side, and the kids styles have three sporty Velcro straps across the top. And best of all, pop out both wheels and the Hx2 becomes a stylin’ street shoe!
