Disney's Tangled- Review & Giveaway!

Brief Synopsis: The long-haired Princess Rapunzel has spent her entire life in a tower, but when she falls in love with a bandit who was passing by she must venture into the outside world for the first time to find him.   OUR REVIEW: This movie had an audience full of adults and children laughing throughout the film. This film was well written. I love that this classic tale has come to life on film. Rapunzel is not like the other Disney princesses, she's one tough princess.  The theme throughout this movie that we loved seemed to be that if you follow your heart, you will endure hard times on your journey through life. Our kids had a few moments that were a little scary for the kids 5 and under. But they were overall very satisfied with the movie. I think they have done a great job with the movie, other than the things I have mentioned in this post. On a scale of 1-10, we ranked this film a 9 out of 10. (Ten being

Speak Tongan

I am Tongan , my husband is Samoan . We absolutely love our cultures and the beauty that is found within them. I can understand most of what is being said in Tongan, but I need to work on speaking Tongan. The kids know a few words in Tongan and Samoan. The languages are similar. Most fluent speaking Tongans can understand Samoan and fluent speaking Samoans can understand Tongan. Polynesians are blessed with cultures that are rich in traditions. Both of our cultures encourage selflessness, love, and family being the center of life. We are definitely learning to embrace our Polynesian heritage. One of the best ways to strengthen & embrace our heritage is by learning the languages of our ancestors. I am absolutely excited about this new website that I found out about on Facebook. It's called Speak Tongan .  Speak Tongan is a fantastic site that is easy to use and features audio lessons. It's a beginners guide to speaking Tongan. Be sure to check out the Speak Tongan T

Luvs contacted me and told me about their recent diaper design change. Luvs truly does care for the opinions of its customers. From recent feedback, they decided it would be best to change the back sheet on their diapers to a really adorable monkey design. The quality will not be changed. So what does that mean for you?

Disney's Tangled- Swinging Into Theaters Near You

Walt Disney Pictures presents “Tangled,” one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tales ever told.  When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) hides out in a mysterious tower, he’s taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair.  Flynn’s curious captor, who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower where she’s been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. In theaters this holiday season in Disney Digital 3D™, “Tangled” is a story of adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair. Thanks to Disney, we are viewing an advanced screening tonight! Yipee! I am thrilled to take our kids to the newest Disney Movie -Tangled. We have a great giveaway for some Tangled prizes. Here's wh
