Disney’s Pete’s Dragon – August 12th
February 29, 2016 By
PETE’S DRAGON, starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Robert Redford flies into U.S. theaters on August 12th!
A reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film, “Pete’s Dragon” is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon. “Pete’s Dragon” stars Bryce Dallas Howard (“Jurassic World”), Oakes Fegley (“This is Where I Leave You”), Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”), Karl Urban (“Star Trek”), Oona Laurence (“Southpaw”) and Oscar® winner Robert Redford (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”). The film, which is directed by David Lowery (“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”), is written by Lowery & Toby Halbrooks based on a story by Seton I. Miller and S.S. Field and produced by Jim Whitaker, p.g.a. (“The Finest Hours,” “Friday Night Lights”), with Barrie M. Osborne (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Great Gatsby”) serving as executive producer.
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon. Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” opens in U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.
Fill Your Home With Beautiful Framed Art #Review @JustFramedArt
February 27, 2016 By
I was asked to review a piece of artwork from FramedArt.com. I moved into my new home 2 years ago, and some of my walls are still bare. Finding the right piece of art is sometimes tricky and can take a while. FramedArt.com offers so many beautiful types of art work, and they make it easy to find art for every room in your home.
You can choose from framed art, canvas art, art prints, custom mirrors and pictures to art. You will be able to find artwork for any room in your home and in a variety of designs and styles (Nautical, Contemporary, Country….etc). Once you choose the design you like you will be able to pick out a size you want and if you want it framed or as a canvas. I chose my print framed. If you choose to have it framed there are a variety of color options to choose as well as Mat options and glass options. I love how many choices there are to create a custom masterpiece. The site is very easy to use.
I decided to choose a piece of art work for my children’s bathroom. Their bathroom is filled with bright colors, and is a fish design. After a lot of time spent on FramedArt.com, I finally found the perfect one. I love all of the different options for size, frames, colors and glass options. It was very easy to customize my art piece. The art work was shipped to me with lots of protection so it wouldn’t break in transit. It also came with mounting hardware. My husband was able to mount this easily and it looks beautiful hanging on my children’s bathroom wall.

GLOWBOWL, Transform Any Toilet Into a Nighlight #Review @GlowMyBowl
February 26, 2016 By
I was recently asked to review GlowBowl, a nightlight for toilets.I live in FL and I am always paranoid that a snake or lizard will be in the toilet, so I always turn on the light in the middle of the night when I have to use the bathroom. Now with GlowBowl I don’t have to do that anymore!
Here is some cool information about GlowBowl:
- It is motion activated, The Glowbowl activates when you enter and deactivates when you leave.
- Patented design allows for glowbowl to fit on any toilet. Glowbowl’s flexible arm allows it to be bent into any configuration creating a snug fit for any shaped bowl.
- Beautify your bowl by matching it to your decor. With the Glowbowl you can choose from 7 vibrant colors that can be changed with just the touch of a button.
- Glowbowl’s dimmer feature allows you to further customize your preferences by selecting the level of brightness you desire.
- Low battery indicator
- Water resistant
- Powered by 3x AAA Batteries (Not Included)
The GlowBowl installs very easily to the side of the bowl, you will need 3 AAA batteries which aren’t included. We had a house guest for a week and put this in the bathroom our guest used. She absolutely raved about GlowBowl. It is so great not to have to worry about turning the lights on in the middle of the night. I love how this comes on right when you enter the bathroom, and then turns off once you leave. All of the 7 colors are very vibrant, and you can control the level of brightness which is a big plus. My 4 year old son is so excited to use the potty at night now! You cannot go wrong with GlowBowl!
You can order yours here for $19.99.
