While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.

Is Your Children's Behavior In Public A Reflection On You?

My Two girls, minus their brother.

What I mean is, when you go out in public and your children act up and act like little hoodlems, does it make you look like a bad parent?

I don't feel that it does. At home, I try to run a tight ship as much as possible. I let them have freedom at home, but within the rules and expectations that we have set in place for them and that we remind them about them when needed. Even when we are in public, I expect my children to act and behave appropriately. But I guess I'm not doing that great of a job, because my kids feel that it's perfectly ok to jump around in a booth, sit on the table and make tons of noise while waiting to order our food. Granted, it took us a half hour of this going on and on and me standing in line at our local Wendy's to order food. I finally got pissed off and left. I got in the car, went to the drive thru and got our food in three minutes. Yep! This Wendy's was catering to ALL of the people in the drive thru, and I mean, all of them. No one got their food who had placed their orders at the register until a half hour after doing so. Guess you can't call them a fast food restaurant anymore! I won't be going back to that Wendy's to sit inside anymore, ever again! It's not worth the hassle and stress that it brought me and my two girls that day.

I can't take all three kids grocery shopping either. They open and close ALL of the doors in the freezer sections. They walk in front of other people, run up and down the isles and more. I get stressed out by the time we are half way through the store. Sometimes so much, that I let them pick out a $5.00 or less toy, candy or container of cookies and let them carry it through the store with the promise to buy it for them if they behave. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. I have gotten to the register and had three crying and upset children because they didn't behave, so I took their goodies away! Oh well, not my problem. They should have behaved and not acted up in public! This is the way I feel! They should listen, stay near me and behave. But of course, this is a place in which they seem to get bored while I grab groceries, even if I try to play I Spy with them or have them help me grab things on our list.

So, what do you think? When you see children acting out in a restaurant or grocery store, what do you think about the parent(s)? I am usually always alone out some place in public with my kids. I even had someone tell me that they thought I was a single mom!

EarZings - Pierce-Free Earrings #Review & #Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 11/29 #MadeInTheUSA #HolidayGiftGuide #StockingStuffers

This patented coil design truly reinvents pierce-free earrings. EarZings are proudly Made in the USA! EarZings also has Crosses, Animals, Birthstones, Pearls and more!

Why EarZings are so Awesome:

• No piercing necessary

• Lead Free

EarZings can be worn by young girls, tweens, teens and adults. From sparkly to sporty and everything inbetween, there is a style for everyone. Just slide them on and see for yourself how revolutionary they are! To see more earZings styles and dangles go to their website: www.earzings.com.

Connect With EarZings on Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest and Instagram.

EarZings can be purchased online, or you can check their website for a retailer near you!

I didn't think about it, but the white rubber grip should actually slide up the back side of the earlobe so that you can’t see it when looking at my daughter from the front side. The grip simply adds extra friction against the skin to help hold the earZing on!

My Review:
My two girls have fallen in love with earZings! They are currently sharing them, which is something you can't normally do with real earrings. We love both the flowers and butterflies. I might also purchase a few pairs for their stockings! EarZings Dangles are easily interchangeable! You can add flowers to the butterfly earZings or flowers to the soccer ball earZings to make them a little more girlie if so desired. I can't wait to see more designs in the future! EarZings are perfect for children and adults alike!

Win It!

Enter below using the Giveaway Tools form for a chance to Win a pair of EarZings and one set of Dangles of your choice ($23.95 value) (depending upon availability)! Giveaway is open to residents in the main continental United States only, 13 years of age or older.

Over the River and Through the Wood: A Holiday Adventure - Children's Book Review & #Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 11/22 #HolidayGiftGuide

Pack up the pooches and load the van.

We need to leave by eight!

There’s so much to bring.

Do we have everything?

Come on, we can’t be late!

The classic Thanksgiving song gets a fresh new twist in Linda Ashman and Kim Smith’s Over the River & Through the Wood: A Holiday Adventure (Sterling Children’s Books). The fun begins when Grandma and Grandpa send invitations to their far-flung, modern, and multiracial family: Come to our house for the holidays—and bring your favorite pie! Off everyone goes, driving down snowy roads, riding the train, boarding a plane, and even sailing along in a hot-air balloon. But no trip is without delays! Ashman’s diverse sing-along story masterfully illustrates the chaos of holiday travel and the reason we all put up with it: family.

Perfect for Thanksgiving, I thought you might like to consider the book for a holiday review or inclusion in a Thanksgiving-themed children’s book roundup or gift guide. With its modern, multiracial family that includes interracial couples, adopted children, and gay parents, Over the River & Through the Wood is also an ideal addition to any planned features or booklists surrounding the ever important topic of diversity in children’s books.

Linda Ashman has written more than 20 children's books, including Creaky Old House; Stella, Unleashed; No Dogs Allowed!, and TheTwelve Days of Christmas in Colorado (all Sterling). She lives in Chapel Hill, NC. Visit Linda online at lindaashman.com.

Kim Smith has a fun and vibrant extended family, perfect as inspiration for this book. This is the fourth children’s book she has illustrated, along with A Ticket Around the World (Owlkids Books), The Raven and the Loon (Inhabit Media), and The Twelve Days of Christmas in Canada (Sterling, NYP). Kim lives in Calgary, Alberta, with her husband, Eric, and their one-eyed goldfish named Goulash.

My Review:
Over the River and Through the Wood is an adorable children's book! You can't help but sing the song while reading it! The story is a little different twist on the song, making the story/song more modern for today's families. This would be a great book to read to children between now and Thanksgiving! Over the River and Through the Wood: A Holiday Adventure is now available for purchase on amazon and at your local book retailers!
