Affordable and reliable ... TracFone

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone. All opinions are 100% mine.
Value
Cell phones can be ridiculously expensive themselves, not to mention outrageous monthly plan rates. In the past I have had issues with overage charges and crazy fees, but with TracFone there is none of that! With TracFone you buy your phone -- for very reasonable prices! -- and you pay as you go. There are minute cards that start under ten dollars!!
One of my favorite features of the TracFone "plans" is that you can purchase what is called "double minutes for the life of your phone" for only $19.99, and some of the phones come with it automatically. That means that if you are out of minutes and only have ten or twenty dollars, you can not only get minutes, but get double the minutes that you are paying for!! nice way to stretch a dollar, huh!?
With school back in full swing, it is nice to be able to get a hold of the student in your life - or if you are the student knowing that you can have a cell phone for more than just emergencies without breaking the bank with TracPhone. TracFone has great reception and connectivity where ever you are!
If you have friends and/or family in other countries you will love that you can call them for the same price as any other call!! A unique feature of TracFone is that with the International Neighbors program, your friends and family in both Canada and Mexico can call your TracFone using a number that is local to them!!
Here are some short videos for you to check out and see more benefits of TracFone, enjoy!

 Senior Value
   TracFone has phones with large numbers and print so they are easily seen by seniors and those of us with less than perfect vision!

Get into Everywhereness Coverage everywhere!! No more dropped calls, nice!

Get into Everywhereness Here is proof that you can get all of the features you want for less!

Quest For Zhu -- The New Zhu Zhu Pet Movie!!

We love ZhuZhu pets, seriously there are more squeaky little hamsters with attitude running around my house than there are children! So naturally, when we were given the opportunity to get the movie and have a little premier party, my kids were ecstatic!!
Synopsis of Quest For Zhu:
The heartwarming tale of four lively young teens (who just happen to be hamsters) on a quest to find the Palace of Zhu, where they believe all their dreams will come true. Join the feisty and lovable Pipsqueak as she gets swept away to the other side of the Zhuniverse. On her adventure, she befriends Chunk, Num Nums and Mr. Squiggles, and when they arrive at the Palace of Zhu, they realize it is just the beginning of their remarkable journey. A mean-spirited and controlling reptilian creature, Mezhula, tries to stand in the way of making all of their dreams come true but, by working together, our true Zhu heroes save the day! Pipsqueak realizes she already had everything she ever dreamed of and all she really wants is to find a way back home.

For our party we were sent a copy of the DVD The Quest For Zhu, some limited-edition figurines, posters, twizzlers, and some fun themed recipes and games. We decided that we were going to have "Pipsqueaks Pizza Bar" at our party, and we each got to make our own pizza -- ok, the kids each got to make their own half! It was fun!!
We also made "Quest For Zhu Kettle Corn" and that went over very well, with us all!!! It was a great treat while we were enjoying the movie!

The kids and I had a couple friends over and everyone enjoyed the movie! The kids who were watching the movie ranged in age from about 2 to 6. A couple parts of the movie could be considered "scary" if you have a fairly sensitive child, but overall it was a great family friendly movie. There is a great theme to the movie -- the power is inside of you! Throughout The Quest For Zhu the hampsters, Pipsqueak, Chunk, Num Nums, and Mr. Squiggles learn some valuable lessons while having fun. A couple of times in the movie there are some songs, which my kids are very into! The music videos can be found on the menu at the end of the movie as well.

One of my daughter's favorite things about The Quest For Zhu is the music videos - she likes to dance along with the "hams." I think it's super cute!! Here is Emily's thoughts that she would like to share on The Quest For Zhu:


This movie comes out on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 (tomorrow!!)
I am sure that you will be able to find it at your favorite store, or you can preorder/order it from Amazon now! If you have little kids or any zhu-natics(!) this would definitely be a great movie for you....or a great Christmas gift!


Disclosure: I was sent a movie party pack and received products for free to host this party. All opinions are mine/ours.

Thank you for stopping by, have a blessed day!!

This Is What I Want For My Children, What About You?

We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between a man who flatters her and a man who compliments her, a man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her, a man who views her as property and a man who views her properly, a man who lusts after her and a man who loves her, a man who believes he is God's gift to women and a man who remembers that a woman was God's gift to man.

This was one of the many random facebook statuses that get posted, reposted, and posted some more. But it was one that really spoke to me. I want this for my daughters (in 35 years, lol!!)! When it is time for them to start thinking about guys, dating, marriage (wow!) I want them to find someone who treats them properly, loves them, compliments and invests (time, energy, emotions, etc) in them, and who always remembers that they are a blessing from God. I also pray that my daughters are raised to reciprocate all of those things. If I ever had a boy, I would want him to be like the man described above.

Just thought I would share this with all of you... Just in case some day one of my daughters meet your son. LOL, I am kidding! :)

Easy, Fun Digital Scrapbooking *~*Review and Giveaway!*~*

I love pictures - I love taking them, seeing them, arranging and displaying them. When I was contacted by My Memories to review and host a giveaway of their award winning digital scrapbook software, I was thrilled.
I have always wanted to really get into scrapbooking because I think it is a fun and beautiful way to preserve memories, but have never really gotten into it as much as I would have liked. Digital scrapbooking, I like much better - it seems easier for me.

With the My Memories Suite I was able to start creating amazing pages in minutes. There are so many designs and layouts that you can use or create your own with tons of layouts, pages, designs, embellishments, etc. You can also add to your collection from the My Memories Store - there are many designs that are free and others that are very reasonably priced!
In addition to creating scrapbooks you can also create note cards, calenders, and many other items. It truly is fun and the possibilities are endless. I have included a couple of the first pages that I have created. It was easy to do because there is a help feature that will walk you through how to create exactly what you want.
