How to Trick the Tooth Fairy delivers the treats for kids 4-8

How to Trick the Tooth Fairy is a prime example of not judging a book by its cover. If you look at the cover it appears to be a book that is squarely, 100% aimed at girls. It has glitter on it, the tooth fairy and a mischievous looking young girl with a pink comforter and a heart shaped tooth box on the bed. Upon receiving the book I had its chance of winning over our 6YO at 20%. Don’t take me to Vegas because I lost that bet and out 6YO loved How to Trick the Tooth Fairy, laughed out loud and could relate to the antics that the lead character Kayleee puts on.

It’s not that I need our children’s books to have the scent of Steven Segal on them to be immediately appreciated by our youngest. He is in a phase where I’m not sure what type of books will appeal to him. Normally he’s driven by fart jokes, kid friendly aliens or talking animals. In my mind having him like a book about a prankster youth and an even more prankster tooth fairy wasn’t on the radar. Continue reading How to Trick the Tooth Fairy delivers the treats for kids 4-8

Win a family 4-pack of ticket to the Atlanta sneak of Hotel Transylvania 3

Our kids are pumped to see Hotel Transylvania 3-have you heard? We’re also quite excited to be giving away 4 family 4-packs of tickets to the Atlanta sneak preview of Hotel Transylvania on Saturday, July 7. The screening is at 11:00 AM and we’ll email the winner links to where they can get their tickets.

Win a family 4-pack of tickets to the Atlanta premier of Hotel Transylvania 3

The plot to Hotel Transylvania 3 finds Drac in dire need of a vacation. They find a cruise that’s tailored to the monster set and the Drac Pack take part in all sorts of cruise ship shenanigans. Think of a parlor contest, ship-going on game and one of the monsters that you or your kids have loved in the first two movies are in there having fun. Everything seems to be going too well and sure enough there just might be a dark, hidden agenda for the cruise that they don’t know about yet.

Hotel Transylvania 3 comes out in movie theaters on July 13. This giveaway is for a 4-pack of tickets to the Atlanta sneak preview on 11:00 AM. It’s at a theater in Roswell, about 15 minutes north of Atlanta. The winners will be emailed links to the tickets so that they can claim them, as well as, more specific information.

Win sneak preview passes to Incredibles 2 in Atlanta

Incredibles 2 arrives in theaters on June 15 a full 14 years after the original. It’s different in the fact that the sequel takes place immediately after the first film. The on-film animated characters have only aged a couple of hours and the Parr family is at home eating dinner. One of the bigger plot differences between the two films is that Mr. Incredible is the one staying at home with the kids. Jack-Jack is a toddler and discovering his superpowers while Violet and Dash are busy growing up and being sassy teens or tweens. And Mr. Incredible still has his superpowers and will most likely be roped in to help Elastigirl who was recruited to save the world.

This is a film that we’ve been hot for since the first one came out. To us, it was the most obvious one for a sequel that made sense as a film in the storytelling sense and we’re really looking forward to seeing it.

We’re giving away 5-four packs of tickets to the sneak preview of Incredibles 2 in Atlanta. The sneak is Monday, June 11 and winners will have the tickets emailed to them. To enter just RT this:

Win a pair of ticket to the Death Wish sneak preview in Atlanta

To some, Bruce Willis is finally playing the character that they have been waiting for him to portray. Paul Kersey, the titular character in the classic movie series Death Wish is back, with a shaven head and more of a grin than you last saw the character in Death Wish 4: The Crackdown. When that film came out in 1987 it was a creaky franchise that had countless puns about its aging character. The year after that a little film called Die Hard came out that changed the landscape of action films. The sneak preview is Wednesday, February 28 in Atlanta at Atlantic Station. The giveaway ends Tuesday, February 27 at 9 PM. We’ll email the tickets to the winners that night. To enter just leave a comment on this post or on the YouTube video.

It was also about that time of year that the vengeance sub-genre of films faded away. Clint Eastwood owned that genre for years and the Paul Kersey character is indeed Dirty Harry’s kindred, non-law enforcement kindred spirit. When you see Death Wish you will see lots of violence, bad guys getting their cumupins and several well placed puns.

Death Wish is back with Eli Roth taking control of the camera and Chicago acting as the template for Willis to enact revenge. This film is rated R for bloody violence and language. The sneak preview for Death Wish in Atlanta is Wednesday, February 28 and we’re giving away three pairs of passes. To enter this Death Wish giveaway, just leave a comment below or in the YouTube video.

A conversation with AMA Supercross rider Weston Peick

Have you or your family ever been to Supercross? It’s madness, controlled chaos and looks like scenes that were too dangerous to put in Mad Mad: Fury Road. AMA Supercross can also be a little confusing for those first timers. Admittedly, I had no idea what structure the race had or how the racers knew exactly what to do. Even for those that know nothing about the sport, this fact is clear: Supercross is an event that the whole family will enjoy.

To get me up to speed on exactly how a Supercross race works I spoke with nine year veteran of the circuit, Weston Peick. Peick races for Joe Gibbs Racing, has 8 career top-five finishes (450XS) and many other career highlights. Our interview with Weston Peick provides a general overview of Supercross, his non-traditional path to the sport and what it takes to succeed.

You’ve heard the radio commercials, seen them on television and watched countless parodies-including our favorite, “Bart the Daredevil” from episode 8, season 2 of The Simpsons. Monster Jam is a ritual in our house and we were pumped to interview Jim Koehler. Koehler drives Avenger, is part of Team Scream and is a legend in the Monster Jam circuit. He’s been competing since 1997, loves to drive on two wheels and is a class act, as you’ll hear in the interview.

What is Monster Jam? What changes have been made since last year? What’s his favorite part of the race? If you’re a Monster Jam novice this interview will answer all of those questions. If you’re a diehard fan of Jim Koehler then you want to hear the enthusiasm in his voice as he talks about one of the best family events you’ll attend all year.

Bonus: at the Monster Jam website you can find coupons to upcoming races, as well as, videos, stats or all level of information for any fan.
