“People Like Us” Blu-ray & DVD Combo Pack Review & Giveaway!!!

 

From The Studio That Brought You “The Help,” Comes The Inspirational Story About Family Reconnections And Life’s Changes Starring Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde and Michelle Pfeiffer

PEOPLE LIKE US

Available on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, Digital & On Demand 

 

BURBANK, California, — From the studio that brought you the award-winning blockbuster “The Help,” comes an emotional and inspirational story about a young man’s journey of self discovery as he connects with a family he barely knows.  Starring Chris Pine (Star Trek), Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games), Olivia Wilde (Tron) and Michelle Pfeiffer (Dark Shadows), DreamWorks Pictures releases “People Like Us” – a must-own, heartfelt and relatable story – on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, Digital and On-Demand.

 

“Charming, funny…and heartfelt”

– Scott Mantz,Access Hollywood

 

Inspired by true life events, the “People Like Us” Blu-ray Combo Pack comes complete with bonus material that delves deeper into the story that inspired the making of this great film. These extras include audio commentary with filmmakers and talent, an extended scene of L.A.’s popular Henry Taco Stand featured in the film, deleted scenes and bloopers.

 “Humane and riveting…One of the year’s very best!”

– Pete Hammond – Boxoffice Magazine

“People Like Us” is directed/produced by Alex Kurtzman (Cowboys & Aliens, The Proposal, Star Trek, TV’s “Hawaii Five-O”), written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci (Transformers, Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens) and Jody Lambert (her first writing debut) and composed by award-winning composer A.R. Rahman (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire). Chris Pine, who plays Sam, is a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman whose latest deal collapses the day he learns his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home to put his father’s estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. While there, he uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down — he has a 30-year-old sister (Banks) he never knew existed.

Mommy Ramblings Says:

I really liked this movie, it was engaging and the actors were great.  From the time Sam learns of the death of his father and the first words out of his mouth are, “What’s for dinner?” you know they had a complicated relationship.  When he does finally show up to his childhood home, he is in for a very big shock.  Sam soon finds out he is not an only child but that he has a sister and a nephew.  His nephew is quite a handful and blows up the school swimming pool, getting expelled until his mom Frankie turns things around on the Principal.  Lots of complex relationship and family issues make this a very heartfelt movie and has you thinking about what you would do in the same situation.  See, Sam has $150,000 in cash in a shaving case with a note from his father to take care of his sister and nephew that no one knows about but him.  My husband and I really enjoyed this movie and I think you will too.

Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Review & Giveaway!!!

Tropical Traditions Gold Logo I was recently sent a quart of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil to review.  Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is certified organic according to strict USDA requirements. It is hand-made in the Philippines the traditional way.  Virgin Coconut oil is different from other coconut oils because it is made from fresh, certified organic coconuts and they have the distinct aroma and taste of coconuts present. Tasteless coconut oils are probably made from copra, not fresh coconuts.  You can use Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil in many recipes in place of oil and butter.  The Tropical Traditions website has  oodles of recipes from appetizers to desserts.  I chose to make the chocolate almond bark.  The ingredients were super simple and listed below.  It took about 4 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes in the freezer.  It had a great rich dark chocolate flavor.  If you like it a little sweeter I would add more honey.  There are so many other recipes I cannot wait to try.

 Chocolate Almond Bark Recipe

Servings: 8-10 Preparation Time: 10 minutes

1. In a saucepan, combine cocoa powder and virgin coconut oil. Melt on low heat, stirring continuously.

2. Add honey and stir for 1-2 minutes until combined.

3. Remove from heat. Let cool for 1-2 minutes.

4. Add in almonds.

5. Line an 8×8 glass dish with parchment paper. Pour chocolate mixture into the dish.

6. Put in the freezer for 30 minutes (or until hard).

7. Remove from the freezer, break into squares and enjoy!

8. Store in the fridge, otherwise chocolate bark will melt.

Mommy Ramblings thinks that Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil will help you with your holiday cooking and baking this season and so we have added it to our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide under the section: Products to Help Make Your Holidays Merry and Bright!   You can find out how to use Coconut Oil HERE as well as look at the frequently asked questions about Coconut Oil by clicking HERE!

Disney’s, Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta Unleashed on Blu-ray & DVD!!!

 Disney’s  BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA 3: Viva La Fiesta!  Now available on Blu-ray & DVD! 

Fans who fell in love with Papi and Chloe in the box office hit “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” and their universally beloved litter of pups in “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2” (the #1 direct-to-video title of 2011*), will enjoy this exciting and playful new installment in the pedigreed franchise.
 We had the opportunity to review this Blu-ray edition.  What is not to love about adorable pups and lots of action, talking dogs, great songs, special effects, and fun.  This is another great Disney film and wonderful to share as a family.  My kids were captivated by the four-legged stars like Papi and little Rosa.  If you want furry fun and a great family night you can’t beat spending it with Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3.  You can also visit and like them on Facebook HERE!

 

Everyone’s favorite talking Chihuahuas Papi (voice of George Lopez) and Chloe (voice of Odette Annable ) are back,  joined by their five playful pups in an all-new family comedy. It’s canine chaos as Papi’s family (dog and human) move into the posh Langham Hotel, complete with a luxurious doggy spa. But there’s trouble in puppy paradise when Rosa, the littlest member of the pack, feels smaller and less special than ever. Now it’s up to Papi to help Rosa find – and celebrate – her inner strength, which turns out to be bigger than she ever dreamed and reminds humans and canines alike of the importance of family, friends and teamwork.

 

The canine cast features the voice talents of Miguel Ferrer (“Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” “Traffic”) as Delgado, Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo (“Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” Hispanic National Radio Morning Show DJ)  as Humberto, Emily Osment (TV’s “Hannah Montana,” “Hannah Montana The Movie”) as Pep and Madison Pettis (Disney Junior’s “Jake and the Never Land Pirates,” “Game Plan”) as Lala.

 

The film’s human stars include Marcus Coloma (TV’s “Make It or Break It,” South Beach”) and Erin Cahill (“Fast Track: No Limits”, “Boogeyman 3”) who reprise their roles from “Beverly HillsChihuahua 2” as  the dog’s masters, Sam and Rachel Cortez, plus Frances Fisher (“The Lincoln Lawyer” and TV’s “Torchwood”) as travel writer Amelia Jones.

Fans who fell in love with Papi and Chloe in the box office hit “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” and their universally beloved litter of pups in “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2” (the #1 direct-to-video title of 2011*), will enjoy this exciting and playful new installment in the pedigreed franchise. The all-new “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3” is a must-own family fiesta of fun for everyone. Based on characters created by Jeff Bushell, the film is written by Dana Starfield. It is directed by Lev L. Spiro and produced by Sara E. White.

Start Right and Start Smart with a Wholesome Breakfast Including Kellogg’s Cereals!!!

I was recently picked to take part in the “Start Simple, Start Right” blog tour by Mom Central for  Kellogg’s.  I will admit we are no strangers to Kellogg’s cereals and buy them regularly.  When I see a box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes I immediately think of my grandfather who lived healthy and sharp as a tack until he passed away at the age of 101 and a half!  Every morning he started his day with a big bowl of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and a banana.  He did switch to Kellogg’s Bran Flakes when he was about 97.   Growing up I ate Kellogg’s cereals all the time with Raisin Bran and Rice Krispies some of my favorites.  As a mom, I feel good about my kids starting their day with a bowl of Kellogg’s cereal as part of their breakfast.

For the promotion we received Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, All Bran, Rice Krispies,  Gluten Free Rice Krispies and Raisin Bran.  My five-year old wanted to try the gluten-free Rice Krispies and did not seem to notice any difference.  My three-year old stuck with one of his favorites, Raisin Bran.  My husband had Raisin Bran but likes the All Bran too and my favorites are Corn Flakes with fresh fruit and Raisin Bran.  I like that I can count on Kellogg’s to use simple, wholesome ingredients in their cereals and as a mom that is so important to me.  To watch a series of Seed To Spoon Videos Go HERE!  You can also visit them on Facebook.

 

Listening for the “Snap, Crackle and Pop!”

 

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kellogg’s. I received sample products to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.”

“The Chicken Problem” by Jennifer Oxley and Billy Aronson Review & Giveaway!!!

I don’t know who is more excited to get children’s review books in the mail; me or the kids.  We just can’t wait to all sit together and read it and as much as I love my Kindle app on my iPad I still love to read a “real” book to my children.  We recently received The Chicken Problem and we read it through 2 times right in a row it was so good.  It is about a little girl named Peg who likes to solve problems and she also loves pie.  One day her Cat and a pig from the farm set out to have a pie picnic in the sun.  Everything was perfect; Peg had a piece of pie just her size, Cat had a piece of pie just his size and Pig had a piece of pie just his size.   There was just one problem there was a little piece of pie that had no one next to Cat.  Peg didn’t like that so Cat went and brought back a tiny little chick from the chicken coop to have a piece of pie with them.  Everything would have been perfect but Cat left the door to the chicken coop open and now there were 100 chickens dancing, doing flips, doing the chicken dance and just making Peg freak out.  So Cat comes to the rescue again and finds the perfect way to get them all back and for them to finally have their pie picnic with just one tiny chick.  If you are looking for a great book to share with your little ones, The Chicken Problem by Jennifer Oxley and Bily Aronson will not disappoint.

Synopsis:

 Full of humor, refreshingly original characters, and math problems that young readers will be clamoring to help solve, The Chicken Problem is an ideal addition to the home or classroom. Left-brained Peg and her right-brained pal, Cat, are enjoying a picnic on the farm with Pig. However, when someone leaves the chicken coop open and the chicks run-a-muck, it’s up to Peg and Cat to use their math skills to help solve their poultry predicament.

Hoover Max Extract® 60 Pressure Pro™ Carpet Deep Cleaner Review!!!

As we get closer to the Holidays you will probably be getting your house in order and ready for family and friends to gather.  If you have any carpet or area rugs it is likely they will need a cleaning before you entertain.  I want to share a product that I think will help you with that.

I was selected to participate in the Hoover eCommerce program sponsored by Mom Central.  We received a Hoover MaxExtract 60 carpet cleaner.  We already have and love our Hoover All Terrain MaxExtract so we knew we were in for another great product.  The unit is easy to set up and run right out of the box.  I don’t use chemical cleaners, so I like that my Hoovers have a compartment where I can mix my own cleaning solution.  I use 1 cap of Sol-U-Mel and 2 caps of Tough & Tender and it works so well and does not leave that smell for weeks that other carpet shampoos do.

I do wish that it had the spin scrub attachment my All Terrain does but I believe you can buy it and I think I can just attach the one form the All Terrain on this machine when I need the spin brush feature.  There is an upholstery car/stair attachment but it does not have the spin brush.  It still works well and the first time I used the attachment was to clean something my five-year old spilled on his new white pillow top mattress.  It worked like a charm and left the mattress like new.  It works well on carpet and is easy to fill and empty the separate clean and dirty water containers.  If you are looking for an affordable carpet cleaner that will let you clean carpet, upholstery, stairs, your car carpet and more, then take a look at the Hoover MaxExtract 60.

 

This MaxExtract® deep cleaner is designed to thoroughly clean carpets and rugs.  This easy-to-use machine removes water, dirt and grime with pressurized cleaning, and has heated drying for a fast dry time. Features a double chamber nozzle to power wash surfaces with even suction across a wide path, while the automatic detergent system provides the right ratio of detergent and water for the best cleaning results. Patented Hoover® SpinScrub® brushes gently loosen dirt and clean all sides of carpet and upholstery fibers, with an adjustable speed control for various floor surfaces, including a Spill Pick-Up mode so you don’t scrub in spills.

 

Features:

  • MaxExtract® DualV® Nozzle Technology – we’re pulling up a lot of dirty water so your floors dry fast and you’ll be back to living on those deep-cleaned floors quickly.
  • Pressurized Edge-to-Edge Cleaning – a wall of pressurized water that loosens and lifts stubborn stains with constant and relentless spray.
  • SpinScrub® 60 – counter-rotating brushes engineered to surround carpet fibers, removing dirt at every angle. It’s like treating your carpet to a deep, massaging salon shampoo.
  • Heated Cleaning – powerful motor with forced heated air to help speed dry time.
  • Auto Conversion Tools – conveniently positioned where they should be – right at your fingertips.
  • SmartTanks™ System – separate tanks for clean and dirty water, so you can easily fill, empty and rinse each tank individually!

Includes:

  • 16 oz Bottle of 2X CleanPlus™ Carpet Cleaner & Deodorizer
  • 9′ Clear Active Hose
  • Upholstery Tool

Elizabeth Mitchell, “Blue Clouds” Traditional Folk and Classic Rock For Kids CD Review & Giveaway!!!

Smithsonian Folkways Will Release Elizabeth Mitchell’s 

Blue Clouds

Traditional Folk and Classic Rock… for Kids

Available October 23rd

Washington, DC, fall 2012 – Over the course of six beautiful albums in nearly 15 years, Elizabeth Mitchell has invited listeners to join her, husband Daniel Littleton, their daughter Storey, and other friends and relatives to become part of an extended musical family. On Blue Clouds (out October 23), she raises her special kind of family-centric music to new heights by bringing clarity and beauty to a surprising range of songs. Breathing contemporary heart into traditional folk songs, and transforming classic rock songs by David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, and others into folk songs, Mitchell continues to grow that family of listeners with each album and concert. And while the family has grown, with well over 100,000 of her records bringing comfort and joy, Blue Clouds still makes Mitchell’s audience feel like they are part of a small picnic jam session.

The recordings on Blue Clouds are illuminated by elegant and simple arrangements, with acoustic guitars, harmoniums, banjos, pianos, fiddles, glockenspiels, and gentle drums and bass creating a soulful atmosphere forMitchell’s clear and loving voice. The songs range from new compositions (“Rollin’ Baby,” “Arm in Arm”) to traditional tunes (“Hop Up, My Ladies,” “Froggie Went a-Courtin’”), to several unexpected covers. Mitchell looks to her childhood memories of 1970s radio on road trips in the family station wagon, and the resulting versions of “Kooks” by David Bowie, “May This Be Love” by Jimi Hendrix, “Blue Sky” by The Allman Brothers Band, “Everyone” by Van Morrison, and “I Wish You Well” by Bill Withers display Mitchell’s care in presenting popular material in a family music context.

On an album full of moving performances, perhaps the most beautiful is “Circle of the Sun,” recorded in honor of Storey’s cousin, Destry, who tragically died at just four years old. “Blue Clouds,” the title track, was written by Daniel Littleton as a lullaby for Storey when she was only three and is a fitting way to close this loving collection.

Mitchell is also a founding member of the veteran indie rock band Ida and is one of Smithsonian Folkways’ best-selling artists alongside Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Ella Jenkins. Her previous Smithsonian Folkways releases are Little Seed: Songs for Children by Woody Guthrie (2012), Sunny Day(2010), and You Are My Little Bird (2006). Starting with the album You Are My Flower, recorded in 1998 in a single afternoon as a gift for friends and family, Mitchell has developed into an accomplished artist with a devoted fan base and critical acclaim.

Mommy Ramblings Thoughts:

I was thrilled to review this CD.  My kids are a little different than most being children; with a guitarist father who is passionate about Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers and more, they are the few kids that go to preschool singing Foxy Lady, Me and Baby Brother, and Smoke on the Water.  Beyond that we are a very musical family and they are constantly gathered around my husband as he plays the guitar every day.  I was anxious to hear how Elizabeth Mitchell arranged the Hendrix, Bowie and Allman Brother’s songs.  I was very pleased as was my husband with the whole CD and the kids liked it to.  I really liked the Arm in Arm track which is an octopus love song that is too cute with kids vocals that make it endearing.  Kooks is rather funny and this Bowie song is arranged very nicely. Hendrix’s May This Be Love is absolutely marvelous and The Allman Brother’s Blue Sky is arranged perfectly for kids.  You will not be disappointed in this CD.  You can listen to 3 Tracks HERE.

The Giveaway:

Sugar Mountain PR is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own Blue Clouds CD.  Thank you Sugar Mountain PR for the review CD and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  Open to US residents.

Zutano Newborn, Baby and Toddler Clothes Review & $75 Gift Card Giveaway!!!

Zutano has the cutest clothing for newborns, babies and toddlers in sizes up to 4T.  I was recently sent a selection of Zutano toddler clothing to review.  We received the Chocolate Toddler Cozie Hoodie, Pool Multi Stripe Toddler Pants and Raccoon Screen Long Sleeve Toddler T-Shirt. I was surprised to see the Chocolate Toddler Cozie Hoodie and I mean pleasantly surprised.  We did a review for Zutano about a year ago and we were sent the chocolate pants that match that jacket with some other pieces.  I immediately went to my son’s closet because his older brother who originally wore them last year has outgrown them so now they are his.  I plucked them out and could not believe they still looked brand new even compared to the brand new jacket.  That says a lot about the quality and wear.  So I decided to include them in the review because it speaks volumes to the quality and longevity of the brand.

The clothes are so comfortable and my son loves that the pants have pockets because pockets are very important when you are three.  The clothing is something that washes well, that he can play in and go to preschool in and still look great, the chocolate pants are proof of that.

Chocolate Toddler Cozie Hoodie

The Zutano Cozie hoodie for toddler is a classic item that you will reach for day after day as an extra layer for your toddler girl or boy. Made from our extra soft sherpa fleece, this hoodie is great for layering over tees on fall days or wearing under winter jackets when the temperature plummets. Featured here in chocolate. 80/20 cotton/poly. Imported.

Pool Multi Stripe Toddler Pant

Our tie waist pant for toddler boys has an extra comfy style with wide legs and lots of room for movement. Featured here in our happy pool multi stripe. 100% Interlock cotton

Raccoon Toddler Long Sleeve Screen Tee

This crisp apple tee has an adorable raccoon that pairs perfectly with our Chocolate Multi Stripe. A great, durable tee for your busy toddler; the long sleeves make it a good choice for cooler weather. 100% Interlock cotton.
