Check out Zulily for Your Last Minute Christmas Gifts!


Zulily, an online retailer obsessed with bringing customers special finds at incredible prices every day, conducted a survey to uncover holiday sleepwear trends across the country. What do Americans really want to wear while unwrapping gifts with loved ones this holiday season? They've got your answers!

According to our survey:
· 60% of Americans wear holiday PJ's while opening presents on Christmas morning
· 27% of those festive folks have already picked out their Christmas PJ's
· 31% view matching PJ's as a family affair
· 8% will dress up their four-legged friends in matching PJ accessories (Fido is part of the family after all, right?)
· 29% prefer plaid jammies
· Most Americans will change out of their PJ's after breakfast (27%)



Also, check out how Zulily gave back this year by making bed times better for children in need. Customers purchased a product featuring a “Buy One, Give One” badge on zulily to trigger a donation to one of two philanthropic organizations, First Book and Treehouse.

"Storks" Movie Review & Free Printable Holiday Activity Sheets!

Disclosure: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with "Storks" on DVD in exchange to review for this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.


Own Storks on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, 3D Blu-ray 
Combo Pack, Blu-ray and DVD Today or on Digital HD!



About the Storks movie:
Storks deliver babies…or at least they used to. Now they deliver packages for global internet retail giant Cornerstore.com. Junior (Andy Samberg), the company’s top delivery stork, is about to be promoted when the Baby Factory is accidentally activated on his watch, producing an adorable – and wholly unauthorized – baby girl. Desperate to deliver this bundle of trouble before the boss gets wise, Junior and his friend Tulip, the only human on Stork Mountain, race to make their first-ever baby drop, in a wild and revealing journey that could make more than one family whole and restore the storks’ true mission in the world.





My Review:
I really like the Storks movie! I didn't think that it was going to be that great after hearing other people's reviews. I like that the little boy had a dream to have a sibling, and he didn't give up. The movie started around the story of the storks and how they changed from a baby delivery service to a package delivery company like amazon, or something similar. Then the big boss bird tells Junior that if he fires Tulip, the girl working/living in their company, who is now 18 years old because it's her birthday, that he can become the boss bird of the company.

Junior has trouble trying to fire her. Meanwhile, a little boy is lonely and wants a baby brother. He's going through things in his attic and finds a pamphlet about the storks and that if he wants a baby, to send them a letter. So he does! Back at the company, Tulip and Junior are in the mail room. Tulip is chatting with Junior when the little boy's letter comes into the company's mail room, and she accidentally sends it through the wrong tube, which activates the baby making machine. Then the machine creates a beautiful baby girl with pink hair and ninja skills. Junior and Tulip do everything in their power to keep the baby girl safe and to deliver her to her new family.

I laughed and I cried and my husband and three children sat still and watched the entire movie. I give it five stars! It's a must see movie during winter break if you haven't seen it already. You will love it as much as I do!

Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors – Circle of Love - Review! Available to purchase on Tuesday 12/20!

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a link to view stream "Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love" I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.


Own it on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, 12/20, 
and on Digital HD now!



Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors – Circle of Love was a cute movie. Different than the Coat of Many Colors. This one was a Christmas story. Dolly Parton herself makes a few appearances. I really liked seeing the angel over the family's barn after the snow is melted off the front of their house. We laughed and cried while watching this movie. I am sure we will watch it a few more times before Winter Break is over, as my seven year old daughter loves the little girl who plays Dolly!







About the movie:
Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors - Circle of Love continues with the story of young Dolly Parton as the Parton Family experiences a true Christmas miracle drawing the Partons closer together than ever - with deepened faith and love for one another. The film delivers Christmas joy and peril as an unexpected blizzard threatens the Parton family while Dolly’s father (and his kids) make sacrifices to raise enough money to finally buy his loving wife the wedding ring he could never afford. Meanwhile, an important person in little Dolly’s life begins to see that her amazing voice and musical gift might just be made for something bigger than rural Tennessee.

Here's a Clip from the movie:



I had a chance to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee where the actual Coat used in these movies is currently on display! Check it out below!




Autographed by the Cast!

Disclosure: I received a link to stream the movie on my laptop, but I didn't do it because we recorded it on our dvr. I didn't receive any compensation for posting about this movie. I simply did so out of the kindness of my heart and because I feel it's a great holiday movie for families.
