Disney's PLANES - New Character Posters

***Disclosure-No compensation was received.  Informational post only.

I remember when I was little I loved collecting movie posters.  I would decorate my room with them.  I would also make collages of the different posters too.  My son likes to do this now.  I don't remember what age I started but this was always fun for me to do. 

Here are some new movie posters for the new movie Planes coming this August:

Do you kids collect movie posters?  Be honest, did you?

David McVicar’s Acclaimed Production of “Il Trovatore” Returns to Movie Theaters This Wednesday
Starring four of the world's most celebrated interpreters of the leading roles, David McVicar's critically acclaimed production stars Marcelo Álvarez as the heroic troubadour of the title. In the role of Leonora, Sondra Radvanovsky is "remarkable...a spirited, feisty heroine" (Variety); Dolora Zajick is "a force of nature" (The New York Times) as Azucena, the gypsy with a dark secret; and Dmitri Hvorostovsky's "vivid presence and rich baritone emphasize Count di Luna's swings between hell-bent vengeance and romantic obsession" (Variety). Marco Armiliato conducts. This staging of “Il Trovatore,” which is visually inspired by Francisco Goya's series of prints entitled "The Disasters of War," features sets by Charles Edwards, costumes by Brigitte Reiffenstuel, lighting by Jennifer Tipton, and choreography by Leah Hausman. Original transmission: Saturday, April 30, 2011. (Running time: approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes including two intermissions.)
Ticket prices vary. More information on tickets and theaters in all participating locations is available at www.fathomevents.com or http://www.metoperafamily.org/hdlive.
WHEN: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
THE STARS OF “Il Trovatore”

Alyssa uses AVEENO® Baby Wash & Shampoo

***Disclosure- I received a sample bottle to review.  All opinions stated are based on my own personal experience.

For over 60 years moms have been turning to AVEENO® Baby products to help nourish, soothe and protect baby's sensitive skin. AVEENO® Baby is recommended by pediatricians and specially formulated with ACTIVE NATURALS® ingredients like Oat Extract and Colloidal Oatmeal.

Celeb mom, Alyssa Milano trusts the AVEENO® Baby Wash & Shampoo for her son, Milo. This tear-free, soap-free, paraban-free formula cleanses, nourishes and soothes baby’s sensitive skin and hair without drying.
So go ahead, and give your little one the celeb treatment with AVEENO® Baby Wash & Shampoo, from the #1 natural baby care brand moms love.   My thoughts-Alyssa is not the only mom that cares about her babies and their skin.  My daughter was born early due to my pregnancy being high risk.  And you know what that means, sometimes babies have not fully developed.  My daughter skin was very sensitive when she was born.  I used Aveeno on her sensitive skin.  

AVEENO® Baby Wash & Shampoo

· Blends into a rich, lathering cleanser that cleans without drying

Adventures in San Antonio with SAVE

***Disclosure-I received a Passport to San Antonio booklet for each member of my family which included complimentary entrance to these venues for review.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.

Keeping the kids entertained over the Summer can be hard.  My son got out of school right after Memorial Day and I have been getting creative with his Summer activities.

Last year I told you about my wonderful experience in San Antonio by land, sea, and water.  San Antonio has so much fun things to do and it is so close to home for us.  With a short drive, we headed south again to see what fun we could find. 

We started out at the Ripley's Haunted Adventure. 

I do not recommend this adventure for babies, toddlers, small children that are normally scared of spooky, Halloween items, etc....  #mommyfail #1 I didn't think about it but I took my 18 month old through the adventure course.  #mommyfail #2 I didn't think about my mom having heart problems.  But what I did think about how fun this would be.  You start of downstairs and this creepy elevator takes you to this room above.  After this, you are on your own.  No pictures were taken on the adventure passed this point.  I laughed so hard.  My 18 month old is not a scardy cat.  She wanted to see everything that was going on.  Put it this was imagine a haunted house, which to my defense, I have never been to.  In the end, I almost pee'd my shorts from laughing so hard.  My mom kept screaming but it was hilarious.  She had so much fun.  My husband and son could not contain themselves either.  Recommended for older elementary school aged kids, teens, parents, and anyone who likes to get scared.

Next door was Guinness World Records Museum where we headed next.

(By the way, my daughter is not suppose to be in there-DO NOT PUT CHILDREN BEHIND A CAGE.)  Now that we have that settled, we headed to the Tomb Rider 3D Adventure Ride and Arcade.  The ride was so much fun.  You have guns and you and your partner are competing to see who gets the most targets.  And after the ride you get to go to the Arcade which has all games FREE!!  FREE games for the entire family to play.  We love playing games.  I was bowling, and everyone else did shooting games.  Even Lil Bit bowled a little. 

But our fun did not stop there, down the street is more fun.  Just a few steps down is the Ripley’s Believe it or Not! And Louis Tussaud’s Wax Works.  (located directly across from the Alamo)
