The doll every girl loves and wants to grow up to be like has a new DVD out today. “Barbie A Fashion Fairytale” is a hit at my home. With 4 and 2 yr. old daughters, all the glitter and glam of this fashionista DVD just put even more magical sparkle into my daughters little lives.

We watched this DVD over the week-end and I had an all-girl evening with them (and gramma). I painted their nails, and we ate popcorn and relaxed and watched this magical DVD.
Their favorite part was when the “Flairies” arrived, “not Fairies, no wings”. They thought they were great. They also loved Barbies Aunt who lived in Paris. This movie was just so wonderful to teach my girls that even when your down on your luck, if you just believe in yourself magical miracles can happen.

I loved watching this movie with my girls and they loved watching it too. When my daughter went to her first day of pre-school today, she couldn’t wait to let her little friends all know about it too. -I think I have a Word Of Mouth Marketer in the Making

I believe that any little girl who loves Barbie will love this movie. It would make a great gift for any occasion, or just to surprise your little Diva’s with a mommy and me night in doing “girly” stuff and eating yummy popcorn and watching the movie with them.

Watch this Fairytale Come ALIVE in your home too, ENJOY!

Disclosure- I received this DVD in conjunction with my membership to MomSelect review program. All thoughts and idea’s and opinions are my own.

On Aug. 10th, 2010 an inspirational movie that will touch your life hit store shelves. “Letters To God” – the heartfelt and inspiring story of what happens when one boy’s journey touches the lives of his family, friends and community. Hope is contagious in this uplifting new DVD from Possibility Pictures and Vivendi Entertainment.

An intimate, moving and often funny story, the film follows the path of a young child with a terminal illness who through his battle becomes a warrior for hope and a champion to everyone around him.  Surrounded by a loving family and community, the young boy takes comfort in prayers written as letters to God.

These letters find their way to a conflicted postman who is at a crossroads in his life, searching for meaning.  Featuring moving performances from Robyn Lively (“Saving Grace,” “30 Rock”), Jeffrey S.S. Johnson (“Criminal Minds,” “Burn Notice”), Tanner Maguire (“Lost,” “Brothers & Sisters”), Bailee Madison (An Invisible Sign of My Own, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark), Michael Bolten (Flipped) and Ralph Waite (“Days of Our Lives”), the film is a stirring “tribute to faith, hope, and love through the eyes of a child” (TBN).

From one of the producers of Fireproof and Facing the Giants, and inspired by a true story,Letters to God received the highest Dove Approval Rating and an endorsement from the Parent Television Council.  Brimming with bonus features, including On-Set Devotionals, Behind the Scenes, The Music Behind the Movie, Character Stories with Cast, Short Stories, Outtakes and Bloopers and more,

Synopsis:
Tyler Doherty is an extraordinary eight-year-old boy armed with strong faith and courage as he faces his daily battle against cancer.  Surrounded by a loving family and community, Tyler’s prayers take the form of letters he sends to his ultimate pen pal, God, on a daily basis.  These letters find their way into the hands of Tyler’s postman, Brady, who is at a crossroads in his life searching for meaning. Brady at first is confused over what to do, but his decision ultimately is a testament to the power of Tyler’s shining spirit, bravery and grace. Inspired by a true story, Letters to God delivers a message of hope, faith and courage that others can apply to their own personal struggles regardless of what they may face in their everyday lives.

From Me:
I love movies like this one. It is a moving and heartwarming movie. Movies that are inspired by a true story are always so wonderful to watch. I love how much of a warrior Tyler is and how courageous he is. The many messages in this movie I can definitely identify with in my life, and I am sure you would be able to as well.

C’est Fantastique!

The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris came out to DVD on April 13th. I was selected as one of the lucky mommy blogger reviewers to get a copy of this DVD to watch with my little girls.

I can remember reading Madeline books when I was a little girl. Watching the little girls get in 2 lines as they traveled around Paris.

In the movie “Lost In Paris” you will meet Uncle Horst and see her new adventure. My daughters were delighted to watch this captivating new movie about the little girl that everyone loves from Paris, Madeline.

FROM SHOUT FACTORY :    

Inspired by the beloved classic books that introduced us to a dozen delightful girls who live in an old house in Paris covered with vines, The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris is full of spirited fun and five “fantastique” new songs. Screen legends Christopher Plummer (The Sound Of Music) and Lauren Bacall (The Big Sleep) co-star in the animated feature.

Both Plummer and Bacall had a big presence at this year’s Academy Awards® – Bacall was given an honorary Oscar for her work and Plummer was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station.

When a long-lost uncle from Vienna pays a surprise visit, Madeline’s dreams of family life seem wonderfully fulfilled — until she finds herself in the middle of an unfortunate scheme. Madeline then must call upon all of her courage and cleverness to foil an evil plot to take her from the only family she’s ever known. Join Madeline, Miss Clavel, Pepito, 11 school friends, and her ever-so-smart dog, Genevieve, in a thrilling Paris adventure you won’t want to miss, where everyone learns the true meaning of family!
