DVD Review: Abner the Invisible Dog

About Movie:

When science nerd Chad Sheppard gets a chemistry set for his 13th birthday, little does he know
he’s in for a much bigger surprise. While experimenting with the kit, his best friend, Abner, a big,
furry sheepdog, suddenly starts talking before vanishing into thin air!

Chad already has enough problems fighting off two bullies who want to wreck his chances with
Sophie, the cute girl next door. Now, he has to hide an invisible, talking dog – who’s a bit of a
wise guy – from his parents and figure out how to get everything back to normal … All while
outwitting a pair of clumsy crooks who are determined to steal the top­secret formula  that gave
Abner his super­spy powers.

With his parents out of the house, Chad and his canine sidekick have to defeat the bad guys, get
the girl and save the day!

Our Thoughts:

When looking for a movie to watch at a school function, it can be hard to find one appropriate. So many times they look at ratings, and if they aren't rated G, you don't get to watch them. And that's a lot of kids movies anymore. I was so excited that this one was allowed to be seen at school!!!

A typical movie about a teenage kid being bullied, has his best friend, and dog to stand on his side and help him. That is however, after the big furry dog started talking and disappeared. Abner, the dog, got mixed up in a science experiment by his human, Chad. Things went wonky, and Abner is a wise cracking invisible talking dog!

Add in even more bad guys trying to get the formula, (stolen from the government) that made Abner invisible, Chad has his work cut out for him. He has to put everything back together, get the girl, defeat the bad guys, and stop his bullies, while his parents are away!

This is definitely a funny movie that your kids will enjoy!

Our Thoughts:
There are so many foods out there for babies, and toddlers now, that knowing which one to choose is difficult! With Beech-Nut, there isn't any guess work anymore. You get only the foods you want: natural, healthy, and no additives.

I was so happy to get the new products for tasting! I tried them myself before I gave them to my daughter. A lot of times what you buy for baby tastes nothing like what they say it is. I found that's not the case at all with Beech-Nut, it really is what they say it is. I love that, as a mom, I am buying real food.

Each of the four jars we received were delicious, according to my daughter! She specifically loved the beets, pear and pomegranate the best! I thought the Spinach, Green beans, and zucchini was a well rounded flavor. Each was unique and gave you something out of the ordinary with baby foods. You feel like you have options, where so many times you feel like you don't!

Beech-Nut has forty new flavors including foods like pomegranate, avocado, papaya and beets. I will definitely be purchasing some of the new flavors! The new line will be available in stores, including Wal-Mart, Kroger, Meijer and Publix, in spring 2014. The suggested retail price of a 4.25oz bottle is $1.09.

Review: Baby Nari Baby Hip Hugger

Baby wearing isn't a new trend, but carriers are! There are many different brands, styles, and designs to choose from; it can be overwhelming! You and baby may not like the same carrier. Trial and error is part of the process! Baby Nari offers the best of both worlds, not to mention a comfortable and stylish design.

Easy to understand, there aren't any complicated instructions. It's really as easy as undoing the velcro and wrapping it around your waist and buckle the safety strap! You're set! It's easy as pie, 

If you got the Eco Plus, I really hope you like it, because I do! I love that you can zip it on (it's really easy!) and you can carry your baby hands free! It is a wonderful idea and allows you the freedom to choose your carrying style. I carry my daughter facing out with the Baby Nari, and she loves it! My other carriers are great for sleepy time or  just to hold her close when she's not feeling well. I love my Baby Nari Hip Hugger as a more sporty option.

My husband loves this type of carrier as well! He feels more comfortable carrying her with this one because it's a solid print. I have a tendency to purchase things based on what I would like instead of functionality for both him and I. So, I got this one in the grey color specifically with him in mind. He actually isn't afraid of carrying her, and is excited to do so when he has the opportunity too!

My husband has chronic back pain, and has had surgery previously, several of the other carriers have caused him pain, and he cannot carry our daughter for very long. Even without the carrier, his time holding her for extended periods is limited. With the Hip Hugger, it really takes a lot of the stress off his back and allows him to enjoy carrying his daughter! This is a win win for everyone!

I cannot get over how much we love our Baby Hip Hugger with the Eco Plus! You really cannot go wrong and they have several colors to choose from! This would make the perfect Easter gift for your special baby! And if you have a spouse who is of the male mind, he may be more willing to carry with a sleeker and less female carrier! I say this all in good fun of course, and really hope that if you purchase this, you enjoy it as much as we do! I use it way more than I should!
