The John Deere Gear Force Harvest Action Combine

We received the toy for review purposes, all thought are ours. To say that our oldest boy loves farms is an understatement. When he was 2 he got his first play farm. When he was 3 he had three different farms and a metal farm with magnet figures. He’s 5 now, has farm puzzles, albeit with the rogue dinosaur on them and vehicles of all sort. The John Deere Gear Force Harvest Action Combine will be the next piece of his farm domination.

By Grabthar’s Hammer, Galaxy Quest has aged well #StreamTeam

We’re part of the #StreamTeam for Netflix and were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and this film really is awesome yo. With a happy grin when I checked out the ‘Recently Added’ movies on Netflix to see that Galaxy Quest was put up. It’s been 14 years since I saw it last, remembered how much I loved it and wanted to see how it held up in the first decade of the new millennium. Both of our children are too young to appreciate the film so I planted myself on the sofa and was relieved to find out that Galaxy Quest hasn’t aged too much. If you haven’t seen Galaxy Quest here are 5 simple reasons why it’s one of the best comedies or science fiction movies on Netflix now.

The Dove Street Festival of Lights returns to Hilton Head Island

In 2010 a beloved 20 year tradition left Hilton Head Island. The Dove Street Festival of Lights took place on Dove Street and literally lit up the night sky with houses along both sides a blaze with festive holiday lights. It was a fundraise that gave tens of thousands of dollars each year to The Deep Well Project, in addition to hundreds of memories over that 20 year period. However, The Dove Street Festival of Lights grew too big for its residential location and went out on a high note. This year the iconic festival is returning to Hilton Head Island at Shelter Cove Towne Centre from November 28-January 4.

National Geographic Oceans 6-in-1 Laser Pegs, building-light fun

We’ve seen Laser Pegs in the store before. It’s the building block toy that lights up. What is unique about most of the sets is that, in addition to lighting up, it can build more than one model. Some of the kits do 4 creations while others can do up to 57 different things. We put together the National Geographic Oceans 6-in-1 Laser Pegs and it’s appropriate for 5 and up, with a little assistance.

Nocturna is a magical, animated sleeper for tweens and up

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.
