Nanny to Mommy

My Father made many sacrifices for his country when he fought in Vietnam. His cancer was believed to be caused by his exposure to Agent Orange. So this Veteran's Day think about all the men and women who gave their lives and time away from their families to fight for your freedom.

I'm here letting my daddy know that although he is in heaven, in a place with no pain, he is missed here and will never be forgotten.

About The Film:
"The North Pole has a new litter of playful pups! However, when the frisky foursome—Hope, Jingle, Charity and Noble—practically destroy Santa’s Workshop with their frolicking, they realize the best way to prove that they’re responsible enough to become Santa’s Helpers is to show how well they can spread the Christmas spirit all by themselves. With help from a magic crystal, they start granting everyone’s wishes. But their good intentions backfire when one unhappy boy asks that Christmas go away forever! With his wish impetuously fulfilled, and the joyous spirit quickly disappearing from the planet, Mrs. Claus and the pups have to find a way to reverse the spell—or risk losing Christmas forever!"



My Review:
Adorably sweet, cute, and innocent. My daughter, who is almost two, loved the talking puppies and the little girl singing. The songs were up-beat and jolly. My daughter watched almost the entire movie which is saying a LOT for a live action movie. The only reason she didn't make it the entire way through, was because it was way past her bedtime. But we give it two thumbs up!

I love doing these types of reviews. I am a complete music nerd. And I have a passion for awesome vocals and in Kylie Minogue's new album The Abbey Roads Sessions, she is stripped of her high-end pop production, the emotional resonance of Kylie’s songs has never been clearer, and her voice has never sounded better. The orchestral arrangement is beyond beautiful.



The Abbey Road Sessions features sixteen tracks, all radically reworked, spanning Kylie’s incredible twenty-five-year career. It was recorded in London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with Kylie’s band and a full orchestra. The album features many of Kylie’s best-known hits and previously unreleased tracks. One previously known hit that stands out for me is Can't Get You Out of My Head.



Did you know?
Kylie is a breast cancer survivor and donates her time to the American Cancer Society.
Kylie’s latest single “Flower” is a song she wrote several years ago following her battle with breast cancer, to the child she wishes she might one day still have. This song is beautiful and truly heart touching.

HERE is an album sampler on YouTube.
You can also follow Kylie on Twitter.
Or 'like' Kylie on Facebook.
You can also buy it on iTunes or Amazon.

I received the opportunity to review these Perfectly Simple Bars by ZONE Perfect through Bloggy Moms. These bars have only 6-10 ingredients, 10 grams of protein, and are gluten-free! They are available in Cranberry Almond, Peanut Crunch and Toasted Coconut.

The Cranberry Almond just burst with flavor in your mouth! A perfect on-the-go snack. Now I didn't try the Toasted Coconut as I am allergic and we honestly didn't care for the Peanut Crunch. But the Cranberry Almond is a must try! Now although I didn't care for the Peanut Crunch in bar form, maybe if I tried it in one of ZONE Perfect's many recipes like this Cranberry Apple Crisp I'm sure I would have enjoyed them more.
