Our family is a group of huge Marvel movie fans. We first fell in love with Iron Man a few years ago, and since then each installment of individual Avengers characters has lured us in more and more. So it should be no surprise that the members of our household are all anxiously counting the days until next week’s release of The Avengers. All of the Avengers together in one huge blockbuster? It doesn’t get much better than that!
Both A1 and A2, as well as my husband and I, all had the chance to see The Avengers in the theater so we know it’s an amazing film. Leaving the theater I remember both my husband and I commenting about how we couldn’t wait until it came out on DVD so that we could add it to our home library. So that there was no chance on missing out, we were sure to pre-order a copy. If you haven’t pre-ordered yours yet, it’s not too late! Be sure to order from Walmart so you can get the exclusive Avengers Blu-Ray/DVD/Graphic Novel combo pack for $24.96! Only 100,000 of the graphic novels were printed so it makes for a great collectible. There are over 100 pages in it, as well. We have a copy of it and the story, colors, and quality are all great.

Disney’s Frankenweenie opens next week on October 5th and I’m really excited. I love Tim Burton movies and I have no doubt that this will be just as awesome as the rest of his films. It’s the story about a boy and a dog – sounds pretty classic right? But in Frankenweenie the young boy Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences.
While you’re waiting for the film to hit the theaters check out the Frankenweenie Monstrous Sweepstakes! One grand prize winner will receive a 4 day/3 night vacation for four to the Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure Park to experience the world of Tim Burton and Frankenweenie during Halloween time! Five first prize winners will receive an autographed Frankenweenie movie poster.
You can enter here online or you can text EDGAR to Disney (347639) for a chance to win. Message and data rates may apply. If you’re under 18, get your parents permission first.
Bath time for many kids is one of the highlights of their day. I know that with Bubbles we now actually have to spell the word bath or she runs to the bathroom door and starts trying to wriggle out of her clothes like an escape artist. She isn’t that crazy about having her hair washed, but once that’s out the way, she plays happily until her fingers start to prune and she reluctantly lets us pull her out of the tub. While bath time is fun time, it unfortunately can also be dangerous. Being diligent while watching your child bathe is important, but there are also safety measures that you can take ahead of time to reduce the risks. Continue reading »
If you’re a female over the age of fourteen or so, chances are that someone has had “the talk” with you to explain just what the female body goes through. Considering the changes can be drastic, confusing, and even sometimes scary or painful, that talk is an important one. It helps to set expectations and let you know what is coming.
So while you’ve probably had the first talk, have you had – or even heard of – the 2nd Talk? The 2nd Talk is all about menopause, and Poise would like to see 1 million women join the conversation before October 18th, which is World Menopause Day.
You may think it’s a little strange for me – a 30-something – to be discussing menopause. Did you know, however, that perimenopause often starts in your 30s or 40s? Sometimes even earlier! That was a kind of shocking revelation to me, to be honest. After all, I don’t consider myself to be old, and I’ve always thought of menopause as something that happens around the same time that you’d retire. But as I read about the symptoms of perimenopause, I found myself saying, “wow, that’s me” more than once. Some common symptoms include: Continue reading »
