Happy Birthday, Violet
What a Party At Great Wolf Lodge
Who can resist being invited to a birthday party? Especially when it’s for your favorite wolf!
Recently we had the pleasure of partying the night away with Great Wolf Lodge’s, Violet, on her birthday!
As if just going to visit Great Wolf Lodge Poconos is not fun enough, it just multiplies when there is a party involved! So we played Magic Quest and Shadow Quest all day and then when 6pm hit we headed to the outdoor pool area, open Memorial Day thru Labor Day. We were greeted with balloons, Pink lemonade, Cotton Candy served in ice cream cones and more! 
The DJ pumped up the tunes and the kids and adults danced to Just Dance on a huge screen on the pool lawn. Meanwhile Emily headed to the Scooops station to get her complimentary manicure! Next stop was airbrushed tattoos. Okay, so I got in on it, too! Em and I had matching wolf prints on our arms. I mean, it was a party right? Did I mention that all the characters were there awaiting Violet’s arrival. We had to wait quietly since it was a BIG surprise for her! I think she may have caught on when she saw all the party activity by the pool! 
The walkway was cleared and Violet was greeted by Wiley and of course a bouquet of violets. The rest of us gathered up to share Birthday wishes with Violet. There were three violet colored cakes. We all joined in and sang as Violet got ready to blow out her birthday candles that covered her beautiful cake adorned with two edible photos of herself! Whatta party! There was plenty of cake for everyone to enjoy. 
Did I mention, there were fireworks?!? Yes, fireworks! Great Wolf Lodge really knows how to throw a party for sure. If you happened to be a guest of the hotel that night, you were invited, too!
There were a lot of lucky people who had the pleasure of sharing Violet’s birthday with her that night.
Just another Family memory made at Great Wolf Lodge Poconos! 
Happy Birthday, Violet! We love you.
If your family is looking so freeze time for a little while and just enjoy the family Great Wolf Lodge is the place to go. This summer is a perfect time to visit. There are now twelve Great Wolf Lodge Resorts open in the USA, and one more in the works in California. Where ever you live, you are not to far from a

NYC! Please Join Us At the Earth To ECHO June 12th
In Theaters July 2nd #EarthToECHO
Every summer our family spends as much time as we can taking in the summer blockbusters. This year we are definitely looking forward to Earth To ECHO. Coming July 2nd I have a feeling we will be in for a real big screen treat! In Relativity’s PG summer family adventure movie, Tuck, Munch and Alex are a trio of inseparable friends whose lives are about to change. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys begin receiving a strange series of signals on their phones. Convinced something bigger is going on, they team up with another school friend, Emma, and set out to look for the source of their phone signals.  What they discover is something beyond their wildest imaginations: a small alien who has become stranded on Earth.  In need of their help, the four friends come together to protect the alien and help him find his way home.  This journey, full of wonder and adventure, is their story, and their secret. http://callhimecho.com

Summer’s Fun For Everyone Series ALEX Toys Is A Perfect Solution For Kids This Summer

Summer’s Fun For Everyone Series
ALEX Toys Is A Perfect Solution For Kids This Summer

Ever year when summer rolls around our family is in search of fun things to do. Since my daughter does not attend any summer camps, the job is mine to find ways to keep her entertained along with a twinge of learning something new. You can’t even imagine how thrilled I was to find out all about ALEX. I’m really not sure how they have not been a part of our lives sooner. As a family of brands, ALEX BRANDS includes some of the most iconic names in the toy industry, including ALEX TOYS , POOF®, SLINKY®, SCIENTIFIC EXPLORER®, IDEAL® and ZOOB®. From classic, timeless toys and games to open-ended activities that emphasize children’s developmental needs. ALEX BRANDS lends itself to a lifestyle of creative and active play.


Emily decided to try out the ALEX Giant Knot & Stitch Pillow. Now that Em is almost eight years old, we are changing things up this summer and looking for items that are great for her age, tweens and older. She immediately loved all the many pieces that came inside the box. I loved that everything you needed to complete the project was inside the box. We could not wait to get started. When doing this project, I would highly recommend that you get all of the pieces out of the box and become familiar with what you need for each stage. It’s easier to organize at the beginning that try to figure it all out later. The directions for this project were clear and easy for any child to complete alone or with the help of someone. Emily did need guidance when it came to the sewing part, but with help she was able to get the job done by herself and felt pretty proud of what she had accomplished! I was also proud of her, and of myself for helping her to sew with her very first needle and thread. This is a life skill that she will need for the future.

If you are thinking of checking out this ALEX Knot & Stitch Pillow please remember that it will take more that one day to complete for most children. Honestly, it took us a few days between the sewing, stuffing and knotting. By the way, my daughter just loved the knotting. She was able to do this completely alone and just had an awesome time accomplishing each and every knot. As for the design of the pillow- amazing! It’s soft and cuddly, and very fashionable. It features the Love and Hope letters and a Peace and Love sign. Adorable for girls around the eight year old mark and up. When Em completed her first summer project, it was more that just an arts and crafts project that was done, it was a step up in her confidence. She had a ball with it, and I was happy to help her with everything. She cannot wait for our next Summer craft project!
If you are looking for something fun, functional and easy to do(with help) or alone, ALEX has the answer for your summer or any season needs. The kids can unplug and feel good about their accomplishments. As a former twenty year teacher, I would highly recommend ALEX for all of your summer fun needs!
You can check out ALEX everywhere:
