Moms and dads need entertainment and these posts, for one reason or another will do just that
We love our movies. Because we have younger children it’s rarer for them to get to the theaters and actually see good movies. Granted, they’ll go to the movie theater maybe a dozen times a year, but rare is the instance where we enjoy the movie as much as they do. Big Hero 6 is the best movie that fits that category that we’ve seen this year. Here’s a video reaction from our somewhat camera shy son about Big Hero 6.

Gustafer Yellowgold is a friendly yellow creature that came from the sun. He lives in the Minnesota woods, as all aliens do, and goes about on magical adventures. More importantly, Gustafer is the musical storybook that was created by Morgan Taylor. Gustafer Yellowgold’s Wisdom Tooth of Wisdom is Taylor’s sixth release in the series. It’s a giddy, laid back journey of light jangle pop that’ll subdue with little effort. Morgan and Gustafer are coming to Duluth on 11/22 to Red Clay Music Foundry for an all ages show at 11:00 AM.

Nocturna is a Spanish language film that was released in 2007. It garnered a following and they demanded that it be released in English. Imagine if Guillermo del Torro made a children’s animated movie that had enough creative creepy creatures to slightly scary, but were charming once you got to know them? That is what I kept thinking while watching Nocturna. It’s such a sweet film that is so good at creating an alternate world within plain sight that you care about and are interested in the freaky animated characters.

We were compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All thoughts are our own. Technology is awesome. Technology can also be super confusing. Because of that Intel and Best Buy have teamed up to bring the new Intel Experience Zone to 50 Best Buy stores throughout the U.S.

Some children’s music is only for children, it’s the music that you play when you’re driving that makes you yearn for a bug to fly in your ear. To an extent it is all about the kids being happy when they’re in the car. The latest release from The Pop Ups firmly plants the music in your head, never lets go and is enjoyable from start to finish for many reasons.

I’m part of the #StreamTeam, a group of bloggers that works with Netflix. All thoughts are our own. In the fall of 2012 my wife and I realized that we were watching the wrong kind of programming on television. We were channel surfing and settling for things to watch, as opposed to seeking out the good stuff that we should’ve been watching. It was then that we decided to stream all of the programming on our television. Netflix has been a part of that including introducing our child to countless quality children’s programs, most of which are with a British accent.

This is a compensated post. All thoughts are our own and that really is us under the costume. I do love to dress up. However, I enjoy dressing up a bit more when it’s anonymous. To quote numerous bad lyrics, you can act a fool when you’re wearing a mask and it’s OK, acceptable, fun and occasionally inspiring. We dressed up as Optimus Prime and went to a couple parties, both of which weren’t expecting us and here’s what we saw in our quest of discovering that life is more fun in costume from Buy Costumes.
