The Oogieloves in The Big Balloon Adventure Movie Review

Now that The Oogieloves in The Big Balloon Adventure movie is in theaters (as of TODAY), I can officially post my review of it. Some of the reviews I have read from movie critics so far haven't been too favorable. But I wonder how many of them went with little kids?? I don't know about you but I RARELY take my kids to movies because they can't sit for that long, they are constantly needing shushing, or they get scared. This movie is a remedy for all of that!! They can sing, dance, and interact with the movie! I think it's a great idea and watching my kids enjoy it made it worth it for me.

I actually got to watch this movie because I wasn't constantly dealing with a kid issue. Admittedly it is NOT geared towards adults (although I liked the guest stars). :) No adult humor. The closest thing would be the Toni Braxton musical number..lol She is not as wholesome looking as the other cast members which just made her part seem a little out of place.

Going forward this is the only kind of movie I would take preschool-agers to, otherwise it's just not worth the money I waste pacing with a bored kid in the hall.
I took my son (2 years old) to the recent Winnie the Pooh movie (which I loved!) and even though he's a fan he couldn't sit there through it...that is when I vowed not to take my kids to another movie in a theater until they were much older....until Oogieloves :):)

So this mom gives it 2 thumbs up for my 2 preschoolers! Older kids??? I don't know...but I saw plenty of school age kids singing and dancing :) This movie comes to theaters today!

GIVEAWAY: ERGObaby Carrier! -CLOSED-

Winner I have carried my little boy in a baby carrier since he was born. I love the convenience of strapping him in and not worrying about the hassle of a bulky stroller. It's also a comfort to hold my little guy close and safe. When I had the chance to review the ERGObaby carrier, I was thrilled to try something that could extend my baby wearing days. My first test was a true one...Costco. I admit that I didn't really look at the directions when I put the carrier on in the parking lot. But I didn't need to! After one look at a picture in the user manual, I strapped my 20 pound boy in, placed my little girl in the shopping cart, and started on my way through the aisles of Costco. I immediately noticed that the carrier more evenly distributed my son's weight than my normal carrier and held my boy high so my legs weren't bumping into his. This made it significantly easier to tote him around the store. Indeed my normal trips to Costco are exhausting. But
