Sing 2 Is Sensational!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Universal Pictures.

I have fond memories of the first Sing movie because we took a group of my daughter’s friends to watch it in the theater for her birthday. I cannot believe that was in 2016, five years ago! Now we can look forward to Sing 2 coming out soon, on December 22.


This holiday season, the new chapter in Illumination’s smash animated franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon, and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet …all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There’s just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star—played by global music icon Bono, in his animated film debut—to join them. Rated PG

Watch The Sing 2 Trailer

The animation in Sing 2 is spectacular. I know that animation technology keeps improving, but it is difficult to imagine how it can become any more life-like. Everything from the massive crowd scenes to the minute facial expressions of the characters really blew me away.

As a U2/Bono fan, his participation in Sing 2 is especially exciting for me. In fact, it is kind of amazing how much star power there is behind all of the animated characters in this movie. The cast, coupled with the amazing soundtrack make for a must-see theatrical experience.

Purchase tickets to see Sing 2, starting December 22. This would be a wonderful movie to watch with the family during the holiday break.

American Underdog: An Inspirational, Uplifting Story

Disclosure: Many thanks to Kingdom Story Company for providing this product/product information for review.  Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation.  I did receive the product in exchange for this review and post.

American Underdog is an inspirational movie biopic about quarterback Kurt Warner that is coming to theaters everywhere on December 25th.

American Underdog Synopsis

American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi from Shazam), who went from a stockboy at a grocery store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback. The film centers on Warner’s unique story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player – but just when his dreams seemed all but out of reach, it is only with the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin) and the encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that Warner perseveres and finds the strength to show the world the champion that he already is. American Underdog is an uplifting story that demonstrates that anything is possible when you have faith, family and determination.

My Review

Before I watched American Underdog, the only thing I could tell you about Kurt Warner was that he was a quarterback. However, I am a fan of feel-good movies that revolve around sports, so I wanted to see what this movie was all about. My husband knew some of the background of Warner’s story, so we watched the movie together. Warner’s character in the movie is instantly likable. He has both charm and determination, which helps him meet the woman who eventually becomes his wife. Warner’s life revolves around football because it is the only thing he feels he is good at. When his football dreams are squashed, he has nothing left. He and his wife experience several setbacks that seem like they could only happen in a movie. The fact that these events are based on Warner’s actual life make the movie all the more compelling. There were several points in the movie where I could feel the emotional pain and desperation of the characters. Witnessing Warner and his family triumph over all of their obstacles is truly inspirational, and his underdog story is definitely one to cheer for.

If you are searching for an easy, fast-paced game that everyone can play, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is your answer. This card game is simple to learn and is sure to provide lots of laughs. I have been hearing rave reviews about this game on podcasts and reading about it all over the internet. Have you come across this game with the funny name?

Dolphin Hat Games sent us four of their card games to review:

We played the original Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game for the first time during a recent camping trip. I immediately fell in love with the cute illustrations. How can you not have fun playing a game that features smiley tacos?

After playing a couple of rounds, I realized that my kids have faster reflexes than I do! Since the game involves racing to slap the card in the middle, be sure to cut your fingernails short before playing (once you play, you’ll understand). The expansion pack makes the game even more interesting since there are more characters and actions to keep track of.

The Halloween edition features the Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese and Pizza dressed up in Halloween costumes.

The Christmas version is also extremely adorable. It would make a terrific stocking stuffer for all ages. My fourteen year old daughter said it was the type of game she would have fun playing with her friends.

Where To Purchase Dolphin Hat Games

Dolphin Hat card games are available through their online store, as well as Amazon, Target, and other major retailers.

Treat Your Legs With Vim & Vigr Compression Socks

Disclosure: I received samples in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Since hearing about the benefits of compression socks, I have been wanting to try them out for myself. Vim & Vigr kindly sent me a few pairs to test, and now I am a believer!

Vim & Vigr socks use graduated compression technology to apply therapeutic pressure that starts at the ankle and gradually squeezes your leg to increase circulation. Their socks can reduce swelling, achiness, fatigue and discomfort.

One weekend morning, I had the perfect opportunity to try out these Vim & Vigr compression socks. Earlier, I had gone for my usual morning walk and also decided to do a short gym workout. My legs were not accustomed to this double dose of exercise, and they felt achy. I wore Vim & Vigr compression socks for the rest of the day, and it felt like a gentle massage! The high quality of the construction and materials is evident in every step.

Vim & Vigr socks would be especially helpful for those who are always on their feet (health care professionals, retail workers, etc.) I will definitely need to remember to pack them the next time we travel, since we always end up doing tons of walking.

In addition to being technologically advanced, Vim & Vigr socks also make a bold fashion statement. Their designs and colors are so fun and will add some pop to your wardrobe. This Window Pane design has a real fall vibe.

When I first saw this pair of Alpine socks, I literally squealed with delight. The whimsical fair isle/mountain pattern is perfect for the holidays. I just want to put these socks on, curl up on the couch, relax my legs, and watch Christmas movies.

Vim & Vigr socks are available for purchase through their online store.

If you are planning on hosting a party this holiday season, a chocolate sampling activity is sure to be a hit. Niagara Chocolates offers a wide array of delectable handcrafted chocolate treats that your guests will love.

When hosting a Niagara Chocolate sampling party, it is fun to offer chocolate samples in all of their different forms: cups, bars and clusters!

Niagara Chocolate Cups

The Niagara Chocolate Cups have such a nice design. A mini muffin liner is the perfect size to hold each indivdual cup.

The Sea Salt Caramel Cups have a liquid caramel center that oozes out when you bite into them. The Peanut Butter Cups have a thick chocolate shell and the peanut butter filling is rich and satisfying.

Niagara Chocolate Bars

The Niagara Chocolate Bars are hefty and substantial. We tried the Dark Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Almond Toffee, Milk Chocolate and Salter Almond flavors. These bars would make a terrific stocking stuffer or gift topper for any chocolate fan.

Although they were all delicious, I especially enjoyed the Almond Toffee bar. I like the textural and flavor contrast going on (as can be seen in this cross-section).

Niagara Chocolate Clusters

We sampled three types of Niagara Chocolate Clusters: Peanut, Coconut and Salted Almond. My favorite of the three was the Salted Almond Clusters, as they have just the right balance of sweet and salt. However, you can not go wrong with any of the flavors. I like that these clusters come in a resealable bag so that you can pop one and save the rest for later or share with others.

Have your guests rate the different flavors and compare tasting notes…a sweet activity for everyone!

Where To Purchase Niagara Chocolates

Niagara Chocolates are available for purchase through their online store, Amazon, and retailers including Walmart and World Market.

6. Pusheen Trinket Tray: It is always convenient to have a tray on your bedside table where you can keep your watch and/or jewelry. This tray is also wonderful for keeping small objects corralled on your desk.

Rainbow Loom

I remember when the Rainbow Loom first became popular, my daughter was in kindergarten. Fast forward nine years, and it is still going strong!

This kit contains everything you need to make several colorful, stretchy bracelets, including 1200 premium rubber bands and 50 c-clips.

This kit included some upgrades from my first Rainbow Loom experience.

The included metal hook is high quality, and much easier to use than its previous plastic counterpart.

I also enjoyed using this included Mini Rainbow Loom, which allows you to make fishtail bracelets really fast.

This kit also includes 12 cute gift bags. The recommended age for this toy is 7+. I would highly recommend this reasonably priced kit for the crafty kid in your life.

Discovery Exploring Nature Kit

The Discovery Exploring Nature Kit would make a terrific gift for the outdoorsy kid. This box contains everything you need to do 11 exciting activities:

  • Make a bughouse
  • Go on a nature scavenger hunt
  • Make an ant
  • Camouflage colors
  • Make an ant farm
  • Nature’s art
  • Make your own colorful nature rubbings
  • Pressing & preserving flowers
  • Make an animal track
  • Play the animal tracks game
  • Make a flying insect

The contents include things like a butterfly net, sand, plaster powder, stickers, paint brush, powdered paint, magnifying glass, etc. I like how this kit promotes interaction with nature, rather than more screen time. This toy is recommended for ages 6+.

Where to Purchase Rainbow Loom and Discovery Kits

Horizon Group USA makes many different STEM and Art kits that are both educational and fun. Check out more of their offerings at their Amazon store here.

Surprise A Special Someone With A Blippo Surprise Kawaii Mixed Bag

Disclosure: I received a sample in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

It is officially November, which means holiday shopping is upon us. If you know someone who likes all things kawaii (cute), I have the perfect gift idea: a Blippo Surprise Kawaii Mixed Bag.

The bag itself is cute, but what could be inside? As I started opening the bag, I could not believe how many items they stuffed inside!

Although the contents of the bags vary, you can see that there is a wide variety of kawaii items. My bag contained snacks, plushies, masks, stickers and stationery items, just to name a few. Below are some of the highlights.

My favorite item in the bag is this Pompompurin pineapple pencil case. I remember this cute Sanrio dog character from back in the day!

This small zippered pouch is just the right size to hold my colored pens.

Here is a puffed cereal snack and a small plastic plate with an adorable design. I always find it interesting to try snacks from other countries-this one was light and crunchy. Snack time will bring a smile to your face with this plate!

The surprise bag also contained a cheerful key chain, which immediately brightened up my otherwise drab, boring key ring.

When I first saw this set of pastel-colored ice cream cones, I was not sure what they were. When I took off the top, I saw that they are highlighters–so fun!

Drink Rise Brewing Co. Oat Milk Vanilla Nitro Cold Brew Coffee On The Go

Disclosure: I received samples in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

In case you have not noticed, oat milk seems to be everywhere these days. Rise Brewing Co. recently joined the trend with their Oat Milk Vanilla Nitro Cold Brew Coffee, which comes in convenient individual-sized cans.

As fans of both cold brew coffee and oat milk, my husband and I were eager to try these drinks. Rise Brewing Co. is known for using organic ingredients that you can pronounce. The ingredient list for the Oat Milk Vanilla Nitro Cold Brew Coffee is: water, organic oats, organic coffee, sunflower oil, organic natural flavors, organic vanilla extract, sea salt, potassium carbonate (to preserve freshness)

This was our first time trying nitrogen-infused cold brew in a can. As soon as you open the can, you can hear the nitrogen gas escape. The nitrogen gives the coffee a frothy texture, but did you also know that nitrogen acts as a natural preservative to keep the coffee fresh? I could definitely taste the oat milk, and it adds a light creaminess to the coffee. The organic vanilla extract provides just the right amount of sweetness, with no extra sugar added.

A can of Rise Brewing Co. Oat Milk Vanilla Nitro Cold Brew Coffee is the perfect drink to enjoy on the field while watching our son play an early morning soccer game. Where would you drink this?

Where To Purchase Rise Brewing Co. Nitro Cold Brew Coffee

Rise Brewing Co. Nitro Cold Brew Coffee is available for purchase through their online store or at a store near you.

Kick It Old School With A Razor Flashback BMX Style Kick Scooter

Disclosure: I received a free sample in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Razor is a company that knows scooters. Since 2000, they have sold an astounding 34 million scooters around the world. Our family has owned several Razor scooters, but the new Razor Flashback BMX Style Kick Scooter is the best one we have used so far!

First of all, the Razor Flashback BMX Style Kick Scooter has eye-catching, retro-styling. It is still funny to me that ’80’s and 90’s design is considered “retro”, but I appreciate the nod to my childhood years. Second, the 12-inch, air-filled tires make for an easy, smooth ride. Whenever we had someone test it out, the first adjective that came out of their mouth was “smooth”! Finally, having a scooter with dual hand brakes gives the rider full control.

This is a scooter that your kids will not grow out of. It is recommended for ages 8+, and can hold up to 220 lbs.

Keep the Razor Flashback BMX Style Kick Scooter in mind when shopping for holiday gifts this season!

Where To Purchase Razor Scooters

The Razor Flashback BMX Style Kick Scooter is available on Amazon, Target and the Razor online store.
