Wholesale Halloween Costumes Review

I don't know about your child, but my son was thinking about Halloween since the summer. He knew he was going to be Bumblebee from Transformers but since we have a few events to attend I figured I would get him another costume. That just made his day! Luckily I was offered an opportunity to review an online Halloween website. Wholesale Halloween Costumes has a large variety of boys costumes at low prices. My son browsed the selection and selected Spider Monkey from Cartoon Network's Ben 10. We were ecstatic that his size was available. We placed our order and received the costume the next business day since we live in the metro NYC area. They offer a flat rate shipping cost for both standard & expedited delivery.
My son's costume came carefully packaged. Of course he had to try it on as soon as we opened it the box. It was a great fit. I ordered a medium (7-8) for him. He's tall for an average 5 year old so I was happy that this costume was long in length in the arms & legs.

Spider Monkey

The extra pair of arms are attachable by velcro. They weren't very secure so I will stitch them because I know if they keep separating my son will go crazy. lol 

 There is an attachable tail as well that I will have to stitch.

Overall I am very pleased with our purchase. My son is happy he's going to be Spider Monkey and I'm happy that we were able to receive it in time for our upcoming events.
If you're still on the search for boys costumes I definitely suggest this company. Your child will have no problem finding his favorite super hero or cartoon character. You'll be happy that it won't hurt your pocket as much and you won't have to deal with the crowded stores at this time.

Happy Halloween!

Dreamworks Real Steel Review & Giveaway CLOSED

Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Lily Evangeline and some powerful robots. I should've had you at Hugh Jackman, but if that didn't entice you to go see this movie, then the action and heartfelt story should.
Set in the near future, Real Steel is about a down & out boxer (Jackman) that gets his last shot at a comeback by teaming up with his estranged son (Goyo). His son convinces him that a run down sparring robot can be trained to compete in a title robotic boxing competition. Along the way, the relationship is developed between the two. Its a beautiful story between father & son.
I teared up during the movie. Dakota Goyo was amazing as a young boy who just wants to have his father in his life. Hugh Jackman is well awesome as usual. I suggest you take the family to the theaters this weekend and catch this great film.

Dreamworks has given one lucky reader a chance to win a Real Steel prize pack which includes:

Cassandra's Angel - CLOSED

This past weekend, my son & I were invited to the Brooklyn Children's Museum for the launch of Change My World Now 20 city/20 week musical tour.  Cassandra's Angel is a modern day fairy tale that teaches young children how to use their strengths to empower and make a change in the world. We were shown a live musical performance of the story. The singing was so beautiful. Each member had such a powerful voice. My son and I loved it. The music was so engaging that my son's favorite song is Too Bad. We listened to the cd on our car ride home. The tour is heading along the East coast and stretching over to the West coast. If you have an opportunity to meet author Gina Otto and see the live performance I highly suggest it. You will leave singing and feeling renewed. Its a great story for your young children to hear and adults too. Sometimes you forget that there is a light with in yourself that needs to shine despite what others may think. We all have a powerful voice in this world. It is up to us to use that voice and make a change.

"Let's Move" with the Bernstein Bears

As part of First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign I took a healthy lifestyle pledge and was given 2 tickets to see the Bernstein Bears LIVE with my son.
The families that attended this special event, promised to take the initiative in their children's lives and lead healthier lifestyles. Childhood obesity rates have tripled over the past 3 decades. With this campaign, I have decided that I will walk with my son rather than take the bus on a sunny day. I will serve him vegetables or fruits rather than artificial sweetened snacks.
We were provided with healthy foods such as turkey on whole wheat sandwiches, hummus, fresh fruits,vegetables, yogurt and water by Fairway Markets. Then we were treated with a special performance of the Bernstein Bears. The show was a great musical. It's lesson of eating healthy went along with the "Let's Move" campaign. Everyone enjoyed the show.

I am excited about this pledge for my family. My son already has great eating habits, but this just ensures that I have promised to lead him on the right path to a healthy future.

Thank you NY Metro Parents, Fairway,Bernstein Bears LIVE, and Manhattan Movement & Arts Center for a great afternoon.
