#werthersCaramel NEW: Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn #movieNight #werthersPopcornParty! #spon

I love the new Werther's Popcorn and so do all of my friends who attended this party I had the last week of October for MommyParties.

NEW: Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn


Perfectly popped corn wrapped with rich and creamy Werther’s Original Caramel. The Caramel Popcorn for Caramel Lovers!


They sent us a TON (note: 12 LRG bags) that I handed out with coupons to my friends and their kids who attended the party!


They also sent us the movie Soul Surfer to watch while we munch. Though this review is not of the movie, the movie was good, but the popcorn was even better.

The kit they shipped us came complete with invites, and recipe cards with recipe suggestions.



Although, I thought it would be MUCH better to come up with our own Werther's Caramel Popcorn recipe and this is what we came up with!!

WERTHER'S POPCORN TRAIL MIX!

Oh so easy to make, it can consist of any ingredients your little heart can dream up, although here are the delights we added into ours.

First I got colored ziplock sandwich baggies, but you can use Paper Bags (and decorate them, which is what we almost did!) and lay out your assortment of treats in different bowls with spoons.

We used:


NEW Werther's Caramel Popcorn

Marshmallows
M & M's (we used Pretzel, Peanut, Peanut Butter and Plain)
Gummies
Honey Roasted Peanuts





After the kids and we few moms got our perfect Werther's popcorn trail mix made (some sans Marshmallows, which surprisingly, wait- some kids don't like mini marshmallows... ??? What they hey!?) we all settled in to watch the movie. 


 After the first movie, we decided to ALSO watch another, a review sent to me called  Monsters University. Which we also loved. When all was said and done, all the bowls were cleaned out, all the sample bags of popcorn given out, and some very big (and satisfied) munched out tummies.

All in all, I learned of a new DELICIOUS snack: duh.. the WERTHER'S CARAMEL POPCORN, and I even made a new friend that day: Linette.

It was a perfect snack for a perfect Mommy Party on a perfect afternoon. Really!!  It was a good day!

And do yourself a favor: if you happen to see this in stores, grab a bag, it's not your typical caramel popcorn treat, since it has the oh-so-delicious WERTHER'S caramel on it, it tastes so much better than you are probably used to caramel popcorn tasting. Simply addictive, so BE careful; consume with caution!  Good night y'all! Thanks for reading Locomotion of Expressions.

My Review of this movie!

It's amazing how realistic the animation on Pixar films has become. I swear even movies with actual people in them weren't as realistic as cartoons can be today!

The movie starts out good, grabs you by the seat and takes you on a fun, fast paced story that shows you how Mike and Sully actually met and became friends.

This movie was sad, but leave it to Disney to get right to the bottom of your heart and tug on your heartstrings. My kids were completely captivated while watching this movie. I remember hearing it was coming out over a year ago- and being so SO excited. Monsters Inc is one of my favorite "non-princess" Disney films. Even though it is Pixar, it is also DISNEY-Pixar now.
Or maybe it was always. I have a throbbing headache that is about to turn into a migraine.
Somebody call a doctor- a nurse.. heck anybody!
I always thought, wow if they did a sequel to that movie- it would be awesome! SO naturally- I jumped at the chance to review this BlockBuster BluRay set for the girls.

Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. Disney’s “Monsters University” unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.
Download Monstrous Halloween Activities
One of the early concept drawings of an early Mike in college was dated 2008, which goes to show you just how long this Monsters Inc prequel has actually been in development. It’s kind of amazing that we only learned that it would be a prequel story-line earlier this year. To give you an idea of the timeline, Ratatouille was just completed when they began concept work for this film — it was that long ago.

I also heard that Pixar toured actual college campuses to prepare for the story and animation for this movie! Little facts like that are so neat, ot to mention impressive that much work goes into a movie. It's the little details, things you would never think. But it makes sense.

Mom and Dad will love hearing familiar voices of John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Steve Buscemi! My kids kept talking about the movie for days, giggling at parts of it at breakfast the next day over waffles!

In college you meet many different interesting and sometimes strange characters, and MU is no different. There are all sorts of monsters; frat monsters, nerd monsters and goth monsters, as well as an assortment of Monster professors.

Facts about movie found on:"Slashfilm.com"



Well that concludes my review of this 3 disc set, BluRay, Standard Def, and Digital Copy of Monsters University by Disney Pixar, and if you can't tell.. we totally loved it!

If you take our word for it. Buy this movie now! I left links to purchase on Amazon, Walmart & Target!


Amazon: 24.99
Walmart:: 24.99
Target: $29.99


Also, if you are in some need of entertainment for yourself and the kiddies (either/or) Do be sure to check out the Monsters University website by typing into your browser, "   www.MonstersUniversity.com   "
Check out the site, it REALLY looks like a professional collegiate website, legit!
I even took a screenshot just in case y'all didn't believe me!

Underneath that pic, at the VERY bottom of this post, you'll fiind that boring disclosure, but you'll also find links to follow Monsters University on Social Networks, like Twitter and Facebook!

Thanks for reading my review of this movie!

Little Cahaba River





@makitproducts Makin' them is only half the fun. Enjoy your child's #artwork at #dinnertime on plates they designed!! So neat! #iLoveMonsters










What I thought about Makit!

Some of the original templates, we drew so many, we had a hard time choosing which plates to order... in the end, I used some of my own money in addition to the three free plates for the blog review, so we could get more of the plates we drew.

Gianas cat drawing before it was printed on plate
Well if you missed my first post about Makit, check it out and see what they are all about, as well as get a special coupon code for a purchase. I loved that Makit offers you a discount, the more plates you order, the more money you save. But honestly, the best part was the not the quality, which was ON POINT *& impressive BUT instead was speed. see, I mailed off my form with the templates we colored on a Friday and the following THURSDAY not even one full week later I had the plates we ordered in hand. We were gifted 3 plates for this and the last review, but I did pay for extra plates with our own money. 30$ to be exact for the 6 plates. Not too bad, putting them at 5$ a piece for this blog review. In that case, I hate it when blog reviews cost me my own money .. BUT you know I am telling the absolute truth about the plates. I love them, and I am sure they will be treasured in the years to come. They are supposed to be dishwasher safe, but I'll just hand wash them for now... so far so good. I give this company 2 thumbs up!!!  Very unique gift that would be perfect for an adoring grandparent. With the holidays coming up, you should definitely keep Makit Products in mind: My readers save 30% on their Prepaid Art Plate Kit (that’s a savings of over $5!) - 
The finished cat plate is actually darker and prettier, before below.

#RainCoat Exciting things and changes at @Kidorable!!! (Best kid birthday gifts)

You guys might know of a very popular children's Rain-wear and accessories brand called Kidorable? If you have never then you need to check them out now. But there are big news from Kidorable—exciting improvements for their products are on the way, plus their first price change in 4 years.  Kidorable is a premium brand—all our core lines are now the best available in the market.   Click here to see the changes for yourself .






Kidorable Coats are changing from PVC to a lined PU (same quality and materials as our Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob coats) and will be available to ship starting September 2nd.   The price for these new coats is $39.00

These are lighter, more comfortable and more attractive than PVC.  Everyone loves these coats.  100% of people they tested much prefer these to our regular coats. 
The addition of a printed pattern liner makes the coats more special.  With a nylon liner for the raincoat because nylon is water proof and matches the feel of the PU.  The PU+nylon is much lighter, easy to fold, and carry to go. 

More than just a raincoat, these can be worn every day, all spring and fall. 

Kidorable Umbrellas now all have a fun custom handle, setting Kidorable apart from all others. The new handles will be gradually phased in over the next few months.  The new price, effective September 2, is $13.95

Kidorable Boots now have a custom printed lining, adding to perceived value.  Together with our custom sole, this lifts Kidorable boots above anything else on the market.  No other company has a fun custom sole and printed lining.   The new price, effective September 2, is $29.95

 My 2 favorite rain sets for boys and girls are featured in this post! We have 4 sets: mermaid, lucky cat, ballerina, and the old retired houndstooth English Roses (I miss the English Roses line by Madonna  **Sad POUTY face**  :-(  !!!!  ) Even more than the sets of boots/jackets I love their wooden hangers and the backpacks (link above).

But which one do you like best? One featured or a different one from the site? What do you think about the new changes?  Thanks for reading!




DISCLOSURE ~   I shared this because I love this brand and have worked with them in the past- not because they sent me product.

Its NEVER too early for Costumes! #giveaway #tween #werewolf 1/30



   
HalloweenCostumes.com has tons of teen costumes and tween costumes like this one. Giana is only 7, but the costume fits her nicely. Giana wears a 9/10, so I suppose it should fit her for a few years, we'll get a lot of use out of it.

You have to use your own jeans with this costume but who doesn't own a pair of jeans?

I love the little details on this costume. Details make the outfit  it includes 2 finger-less "fur" gloves, 2 "fur" boot covers, a furry vest which is torn for effect.. a cute wolf ear hat, and a cute wolf shirt and a cute red plaid skirt, which goes on top of the pair of jeans.
it is an 8 piece set, retail price for this costume is $31.99, which is very reasonable! Now I know we just had Halloween (seems like) and it seems like it's pretty far off, but I usually like to get my costumes well before the mad rush. Most costume retailers have extremely discounted prices this time of year -- usually better than Halloween prices!!!
  


The vest




The only issue I found with this costume was that it sheds like crazy....
I scoured their website w Gigi for a costume for this year.. she wanted something "scarier" than her normal happy-go-lucky ones of the past, and this one seems like it will still fit in a few months!! I love this Tween Werewolf Costume and Giana does too!  She looks super cute, right?

  • Skirt
  • Vest

The gloves
Let your daughter become a wild animal in this Tween Werewolf Costume. This costume includes a black polyester made to feel like velvet and has the face of a wolf printed on it. The sleeves of the shirt are cut to look tattered and the left shoulder is cut open at the top. The back of the shirt has an elastic strap in the back just above the waist line to help the top keep its shape. The gray polyester vest has faux fur on the front and is plain in the back. The included black and plaid skirt is made of polyester as well and is cut to look tattered. On the front of the skirt has a black belt sewn on to it that is printed to look like a studded belt. On the inside of the skirt is a red mesh petticoat that is also cut to look tattered. The gray hood of the costume has faux fur pompoms, ears, and a strip above the front. Also included are fingerless gloves with faux fur on the top and gray fabric on the bottom. The boot covers are also made of faux fur and there is elastic on top to help them stay on the wearer’s legs. Your daughter will love being this fierce wolf this Halloween!
