Disney Descendants DVD Giveaway

The other day we had a surprise delivery from Universal Publicity…I couldn’t wait to open it and see what was inside this mystery package. To what would my wondering eyes should appear, but an Evil Bratt lunch box, matching thermos & Despikipedia page…All of these clues told me this must be from Despicable Me 3!
So who is Evil Bratt?
Balthazar Bratt is a former child actor and TV star. He became an international sensation during the 1980’s, starring as the title character in the hit TV show Evil Bratt (1985-1987). Despite high ratings, the show was famously pulled off the air before the end of it’s third season when Bratt hit puberty and literally outgrew the role.
Bratt was last seen in 1989 outside a newsstand in Hollywood, California when a tourist caught him on tape ripping up tabloid magazines with his face on the cover. According to the footage, Bratt was wearing a version of the costume his character wore on Evil Bratt, his hair still styled in the iconic Evil Bratt mullet.
Amazingly, Bratt never resurfaced publicly after that incident and all accounts of his whereabouts seem to have been erased or destroyed.
I love that this one has a villain stuck in the 80’s! Being an 80’s child I’m excited to see what nostalgia they bring into the movie. Along with this 80’s throwback villain, we will also be introduced to Gru’s long lost twin brother Dru which should make things even more interesting.

Ah, to be young forever, wouldn’t it be nice? Well actually, we’re not so sure about that. It’s fun being eighteen…but life gets much more enjoyable once you know a thing or two about life, which can only happen in your twenties. However, there’s one area where youth definitely win – vitality! When you hit your late twenties and into your thirties, it becomes a little more difficult to stay in your prime. So does that mean you have to give up on youthful exuberance? No way. But it won’t come quite as easily anymore.
When you’re young, you can eat and drink whatever you’d like, and it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Not so when you’re a full-blown adult. Then, you have to be careful not to drink too much alcohol and have too many takeout meals during the week. Learn the art of moderation, and of cooking, too. After a month of healthy eating and cutting down on alcohol, you’ll notice that you have much more energy than before. You can’t have everything in life, so what will it be: energy or convenience?
There’s no getting around it: if you want to look and feel your best, then you need to be working up a sweat a few times a week. And you’ll need to get serious about it, too. Start by working out which will be the best exercises for your needs, and use things like a genuine tongkat ali extract to help give your workouts an additional boost. Your time is going to be limited, so you won’t be able just to hit the gym for an hour every week or so. Make it part of your schedule, get additional help, and you’ll look your best in no time.
Remember back in the day, when you could jump out of bed after just a few hours sleep? Those days are long gone, I’m afraid. You’re not going to be able to live life to the full if you’re not getting a full night of rest. If you’re having trouble sleeping, then take a look at your sleeping routine. It’s possible that you’re just spending too much time in front of a screen in the two hours before you hit the hay. Get a sleeping schedule that works for you, and you’ll have much more energy.
It’s all good and well feeling young, but what about your looks? Working out is a good start, but to keep that youthful glow, develop a skin regime. And stay out of the sun, too – nothing ages you like those harmful rays!
Finally, remember youth is all about attitude! Avoid becoming cynical. As you get older, you’ll learn that there’s plenty of evil in the world, but there’s much more good. Don’t forget it, and you’ll have a positive outlook on life. It’s what the world needs!

As with most moms, I come last…I never tend to shop or do for myself until the kiddos are taken care of. With all the busy days of taking care of 4 boys and the house I never really pay attention to if I have matching delicates. It’s even been years, sad to admit, since I’ve owned l that not only makes me feel sexy, but also give the hubby something to adore. I honestly just never think about things like that!
This past week I was able to check out the site AdoreMe.com where I was able to select a Holiday lingerie set and sleepwear…but I didn’t stop there..everything was just so sexy and in styles that I liked that I returned and also purchased 2 bra and panty sets!
With this holiday set it was all about the details…I love the sparkle, the ruffles and the lace! It’s just so me!
The Judie sleep set had just the right amount of detail with a soft cotton, feel sexy why staying comfortable!
Adore Me offered me this Cup Case with my order of my two bra & pantie sets…
This Lorainne Push-Up set had me with the attention to detail with the lace and “corset” style detail on the sides.
I fell in love with this set. The Rhiannon Push-Up set is a gorgeous red with floral lace detail.

Having 4 boys can get a little hectic, especially when they all have places to run to and we are in and out of the van all day. Keeping my bag stocked up with on the run needs is important to keeping my sanity. What would a mom to 4 boys keep stocked in her bag for daily errands?
Check it out:
Gum, calms me down when “things happen”, and keeps my breath fresh for that just in case moment, you know where you run into one of the kids teachers, or your husbands boss.
Tylenol, lets face it, running around all day battling kids can lead to quite a headache, Tylenol has been there for me for years!
Cell phone packed with games. My boys love their digital games, and it keeps them quiet in a pinch, like sitting and waiting to get your oil changed or tires done.
Pen & notepad, another tool that has multiple uses like the cell phone. Can be used for notes, or to keep little men happy coloring.
DASANI DROPS® Infusions are great when you’ve need to stay hydrated but you can’t handle just plain water anymore. It’s exactly the right size to pack in your purse so that you can enjoy flavor-enhanced water wherever your day takes you – work, the gym, or out and about.
We all know it is essential to consume enough water every day, but we have to take care of more than just our bodies; it is also important to take time each day to relax and refresh. While DASANI DROPS® Infusions are great on the go they are also great at home, grab some water & DASANI DROPS® Infusions and go soak in the bath for a while to unwind from the busy day.
With these convenient travel sized bottles DASANI DROPS® Infusions makes it easier to resist those sugary, calorie filled juices and sodas that I tend to reach for. DASANI DROPS® Infusions has ZERO calories, and are made with natural flavoring…Plus, there is NO artificial colors! There is also no worry of spilling in your bag as the top snaps securely so your safe to toss and go!
You can buy DASANI DROPS® Infusions at Target, using Target’s Cartwheel app. For a limited time, coupons will be available for both DASANI DROPS Infusions and DASANI Sparkling in Black Cherry (within the Target Cartwheel app).
If your like me chances are your already there, so it wouldn’t take much to walk over and stock up of a few flavors to keep in your bag.
How do you choose to stay hydrated with the warmer weather approaching?

Before having boys, I never imagined I’d be watching and enjoying the things that I do now…Monster Jam is one of those things…Last weekend we got to enjoy Monster Jam at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Tx. I was a little disappointed that hubby couldn’t get off early enough to enjoy the pits with us, but we went early with out him anyways. We paid the $5 event parking, anxiously walked up to the event center, got up to the doors and got in in no time! They did check my bag and I was told that I couldn’t use my “professional” camera..which if you know me, really bummed me out..it goes everywhere with me! I went to check it in at guest services and she told me to just not use my 75-300 lens, but I could use my camera and the 50mm that was on it..I was still a little bummed only because the whole point was to zoom in and get some great shots. – I was provided passes to the show by Feld Entertainment as compensation for this post, however all opinions and images are 100% my own – Anyways after that whole ordeal..we made our way into the arena…the boys were in awe when we walked in and saw 8 Monster trucks and all the booths set up. We slowly made our way around the arena checking things out, then decided to jump in the lines and get autographs… The first one we got in was for El Diablo. El Diablo was suspended from the ceiling of the arena as to show off the whole design and make for a better picture opportunity…It didn’t take long to make it through the line..we were handed Metro PCS bags with a coloring page & crayons in it..this is what we had the drivers sign as a souvenir. Since Metro PCS was sponsoring the event they were heading up this booth and did complementary pictures..yes, I’m finally in a picture! After this booth we made our way to Chris’s favorite Wolverine…this line didn’t take very long either and the driver Aaron Basl..he was super nice and was more than happy to pose with the boys for a picture! Then we visited Zombie, and while we were in that line we noticed they closed the Grave Digger line..which was one we really wanted to hit! About the same time we saw hubby walking up! YEA he made it! Then they reopened the Grave Digger line…it was like the clouds parted! So my oldest took off with my husband to get in the Grave Digger line, because hes wanted to meet him since he was a little kid..30 years of waiting and its finally happening Little man and I stood for a few more min to meet Sean Duhon and get a photo..one of my favorites I must say! After that great photo, we joined the bigger boys waiting to meet Grave Digger…they finally got up there, and didn’t get to have a “photo opp” mostly because they were trying to push people through because there were so many wanting to meet him. The driver today was Pablo Huffaker, he really was a nice guy and even signed hubbys hat and really made his day. After we got our things signed the boys posed in front of grave digger excitedly! Yes we were minus one boy..he decided to go stay at grandmas for a few weeks, so he missed out on all the fun…We then went and got two final signatures before heading up to our seat, because the pit party was over..boo..we had pretty good seats that were in the mezzanine, second row just off center. We waited for an hour before the show would start, the boys were getting antsy like I knew they would..but that’s the risk I took getting to do the pit party…well worth it! I went a purchase a cotton candy that came with a sweet Grave Digger hat and a lemonade that came in a cup shaped like stacked tires. It was finally time for the show to start! They started off with a few quad races..then brought in the Monster Jam trucks who circled the arena and reved up the audience. They got started right away showing off their skills flying in the air wowing the audience. After watching them through several competitions…I realized these poor guys need a larger auditorium…this place is too tiny for them…during the donut competition..they were having trouble getting going because of the area they had to do it in..and Grave Digger flipped…exciting yes..but…oh, well..it was exciting..lol I mean look at that smiling face!
It was a great night watching giant trucks try to beat each other in stunts and race time. I can’t wait till they return so we can watch it all over again!
