The Odd Life of Timothy Green

I recently got to review The Odd Life of Timothy Green on BluRay!

 This film is appropriate for a family film, for ages 7+.
It is a little sad, so get ready with your box of tissues!


A childless couple bury a box in their backyard, containing all of their wishes for an infant. Soon, a child is born, though Timothy Green is not all that he appears.

Director: Peter Hedges
Writers: Peter Hedges (screenplay), Ahmet Zappa (story)
Stars: Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton and CJ Adams | See full cast and crew


I have to admit, I wasn't sure whether I'd like this movie a lot, or a little but I knew we'd enjoy it. It has an all-star cast and it's a Disney movie, so it was bound to be good.

I enjoyed it more than I assumes I would. The story was easy to follow and heartwarming. A story about a couple who longs for a child of their own. They are given this "plant boy" who plants seeds of hope into their lives. They are flabbergasted that he is everything they ever hoped and wanted in a child.  They grow as parents, learning to love and defend and all the ups and downs that go with parenting.

*Spoiler Alert!*

They in time grow to love him as their very own, only to have him whisked away, like a storm, as fast as he was brought in, he is swept out.  Timothy has leaves on his legs and every-time one falls off- he is closer to leaving them.

In the end, they do end up with a child, but it is not Timothy who they end up parenting. Wanna find out more? You've got to see this touching compelling film, and all it's Special Features on Bluray now!

Buy it on Amazon for $27.89  a special price for the 2 disc BluRay + DVD combo pack!
You can also find other versions of this film for other prices too!

Have you ever heard of WHOLLY GUAC?

I am an avid guacamole eater, so it's no surprise at all that after trying Wholly Guac, my all-natural food loving self was instantly hooked on this delicious and reassuringly healthy guilt-free treat!
Wholly Guac sends me samples of their Guacamole (on ice, I love that!) and even their Salsa to sample occasionally. 
The reason I even mention the ice, is it's been a huge issue having a food review blog, and getting only free product coupons, most of the time for foods and brands I can't find in stores in my area, so it's refreshing to have a company send the actual product instead. I know-- just one of those things.

If you don't count the fact that some of the stuff they send me is incredibly spicy- and I do not like spicy foods AT ALL., then I have liked everything they have sent!! I even attempt to eat the spicy guac's and salsa, but it just doesn't work out between us!

The best part about Wholly Guac is that not only do they sell multiple serving boxes, but they have single serving too,  already mapped out and pre-portioned to 100 calories, keeping watching your new years resolution a little bit easier! and 
I LOVED the HOME-STYLE version of they guacamole, but I still love classic best! Boy was I excited to see a Ranch version of their guacamole now being produced! They must've read my mind.

You should try their salsa, and guacamole if you see them in the stores you usually shop in. I know they sell them at my local Publix, so check yours!  If all else fails, ask the manager to carry it for you!

This guacamole is perfect for chips as a dip, Mexican dishes, and even shrimp! You've just GOT t0 try the Classic, Home-style & especially THE RANCH version!  YUMMMY!~

Share my love of Wholly Guacamole!

Thanks for reading Locomotion of Expressions!~

Keep up with myself, and the brand on Facebook, Twitter & Pinterest!

The Littlest Pet shop releases a brand new DVD for kids in 2 days which not only has their fave tiny toy characters Littlest Pet Shop, but a throwback to revive an older more modernized, but still cool as all get out Blythe. Blythe and the Littlest Pet Shop combine and get ready for an all-star jam packed ride and adventure your kids will find as timeless as mine do, and want to watch again and again!

We recently had a DVD player installed in our Chrysler and even though the car is packed with like maybe ten DVDs, and they have watched this countless times, they still try to pop it in the DVD player every-time we get into the car.. I know on our 8 hour car ride to Birmingham, they must've watched it at least 5x.. that's just one way!  I think they must know all the lines of this movie by heart by now!

Even funnier? My littlest 2 1/2 year old just approached me on the computer, where i sit writing this.. sees the Logo and images in this post and starts screaming about how she wants to watch it-- so bye for now, I've got to go get this DVD out of the car!  Catch up to you guys later!!!

All the best!
~Me!
