Armitron Watches Are Perfect For Mom This Mother’s Day! armitronTOP

Mother’s Day is here and it’s crunch time! Time to find the perfect gift for mom and something that she will LOVE! It’s not exactly an easy task if you ask me. I mean, I am talking about myself. My hubby always asks what I want, my kids ask want I want….I never know what to ask for, I really don’t want anything at the moment. But when I came across the Armitron Charm Watch I was floored by its beauty. I loved it immediately! Five minutes beforehand I had no wish list at all and then THIS WATCH!! I fell in love with it at first sight. armitron3armitron4

The beauty of this timepiece is that it doubles as a beautiful bracelet, a charm bracelet. It’s also available in yellow gold or rose gold! Yay! Another thing I love about most Armitron watches including this one is that they have a series of clasps for sizing. No matter what size your wrist is you can size the charm bracelet to make it the perfect fit for you. So in short, I have to suggest that if you are looking for a last minute gift for mom look no farther. It will also work for birthdays and graduation! It’s perfect! I absolutely love mine!

Keep You Child Hydrated While They Have Fun With Gululu Interactive Bottle!

gululu2The future of water bottles is here! Imagine waking up to a gentle nudge that it’s time to take a few sips of water? Imagine taking a sip of water and waking up your very own virtual pet that lives right inside your water bottle? It’s only a few clicks away. I don’t know about you but I think this is an absolutely wonderful idea. I can’t believe it exists!

With built in sensory technology this water bottle can measure your child’s fluid intake. In addition it will relay the information to the parent through a linked mobile app. The parent is in control of setting up all the perks and times. The water bottle can be set to silent for school days and set to play after school and on the weekends. In addition the water bottle can sustain being dropped from a table, backpack or desk. 

Gululu1

Doesn’t this sound like the perfect water bottle? I know I want one, and I’m not a child! During school time your child can make new water bottle friends with other virtual pets that live inside their bottles. If your child forgets to drink his virtual pet or friend will remind him to get hydrated which in turn will help their pet to grow. This is a must for kids health! 

There is an entire Gululu Universe at hand for your child to explore! Though wifi that Gululu Universe content is automatically updated which opens the world of exploration to your child. By keeping hydrated your child can unlock more and more of the universe and advance levels. His virtual friend will evolve and advance even opening up treasure chests along the way. 

The best news is that while your child is playing with his new virtual friend he is also getting hydrated without any stress on you, the parent! You can keep track of the hydration level at any time via the app on your phone. If your child takes his bottle to school (which it is absolutely perfect for) it’s easy to clean out when he gets home! At bedtime the app can set a shut off sleep time and also allow it time to hit the charging deck. The bottle holds 13.5 ounces. This bottle will definitely help you make sure your child has all the hydration they need to live a healthy lifestyle! Check out more about the kids water bottle here.

Well, what do you think? I’m definitely a fan although I have only read about the product. I know Emm would love Gululu interactive bottle for sure. Maybe we will have to chance to check one out in person someday soon! If we do, we will keep you posted with updates! The bottle comes in three colors: Mermaid Pink ( I’m sure that would be our choice), Bowhead Blue, and Submarine Yellow! They are a bit pricey but when you factor in the healthy habits you are instilling into your child it does not seem as high a price. Anything that will keep my family hydrated is a plus in my book! How can you go wrong? Their mission is to hydrate the kids of the world– and for every bottle purchased a kid in a developing country is being provided with clean water well for life through our partnership with Generosity.org organization. If you are in the market for one, please check out more about the Gululu Interactive Kids Water Bottle here!

Skytop Lodge In The Poconos- A Great Getaway For All

 Skytop Lodge In The Poconos- A Great Getaway For All

skytoplodge

Our family is all about spending time together, creating memories and making traditions along the way. We are also big fans of  having fun. Not long ago we were introduced to a beautiful hideaway in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Skytop Lodge is at the top of the mountain in Skytop, Pa. Located less than three hours from the hustle of NYC our family has found a perfect place for everyone to just relax, unwind and unplug for our daily busy life. Skytop Lodge is different than most of the surrounding family style resorts. There is no big indoor waterpark or crowds of people. It’s a place where you can choose your activities as each day comes about. When you check into Skytop Lodge you will be presented with the activities for the days of your stay. You and your family and pick and choose from the long list of things to do that go from early morning until nightfall.

Skytop Lodge and the property surrounding it is just gorgeous. It’s like stepping into a beautiful painting that comes to life during your stay. As you drive up to the main building of the resort you will pass the gleaming lake that is hard to take your eyes off of for very long. Skytop Lodge has a few different accommodation options. There is the main building where the pool and dining are housed. Then there are also cottages and cabins. We stayed at the Streamside Cabins. The cabins are divided into four units with connecting doors. They have patios and plenty of space. There is a shuttle that will pick you up at different locations within the resort and transport you to the main building or to your destination of choice. Our family enjoyed the Streamside Cabin. It was so roomy and really gave us the feeling of nature surrounding us. We enjoyed taking strolls alongside the stream and looking for little woodland animals. On our last trip we spotted a deer and some bunnies not far from the cabin. You can imagine how exciting that was for these city people!

Although it was tough leaving the cabin our family did make it up to the main building quite a few times. First of all the indoor and outdoor pool are there. They are both ideal for swimming or just relaxing. There is also a hot tub, toddler pint sized pool and exercise room in the area. Throughout the day there are activities at the pool including a cannon ball big splash contest and a rubber ducky race! So much fun! We even spotted a mermaid during our visit to the pool! 

skytoppool skytoppoolmermaidOne of our favorite things to do at Skytop Lodge is have fun in the game room. Our family has this ongoing competition going on with the Ping-Pong game. We really have never had the chance to just slow down and play ping-pong. It is SO much fun! There are other games to choose from, too and even some that are bigger than life. There is also a book and magazine section there for the littles to enjoy along with some play till you win games so everyone leaves with a prize! Did I mention they also have tanks that line the wall where you can check out some snakes, frogs and lizards. I’m very happy there are all behind the glass! Check out more about Skytop Lodge here: http://www.skytop.com/

To put it into a nutshell, if you are looking for a resort in the Poconos that is either laid back or filled with activities you should definitely check out Skytop Lodge. It’s a place where you can choose your activity level based on what you are looking for during your stay. If you visit in the summer there are a ton of summer (spring, fall) sports to choose from including horse back riding! If you visit in the winter you can count on Skytop to bring you all of the winter fun you are looking for including tubing and more. Any time is the right time to visit Skytop Lodge. I would suggest looking at their events calendar to see when the best time is for you to visit with your family, friends, spouse or for a little alone time. http://www.skytop.com/event/

Now, fans can bring home the phenomenon, packed with light-hearted fun, pulse-pounding action and a powerful message, and watch it over and over again, Digitally in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ and Movies Anywhere on May 8 and on 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™, DVD and On-Demand on May 15.  With both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos immersive sound, 4K Ultra HD offers consumers a transformative viewing experience. 

blackpanther1

 Through the 4K Cinematic Universe Edition of “Black Panther,” fans will experience the exhilarating adventure in stunning 4K Ultra HD with next-generation high dynamic range (HDR) visuals and Dolby Atmos immersive audio. Never-before-seen extras feature commentary from director Ryan Coogler; deleted scenes; outtakes; and several making-of featurettes, which detail the Black Panther’s evolution, the remarkable women of Wakanda, the history of T’Challa’s proud nation, and the cosmic origin and technological applications of vibranium. Also included are a roundtable discussion with “Black Panther” filmmakers and writers; a featurette tracing the countless connections between heroes, characters and storylines within the Marvel Cinematic Universe; and an exclusive sneak peek at “Ant-Man and the Wasp.”

 The global cultural phenomenon of “Black Panther” has dominated the box office charts emerging as the third biggest movie of all time domestically with over $665 million – the first film in eight years to spend five weeks at No. 1 – and rising to the global top 10 of all time with over $1.3 billion. In the acclaimed film, T’Challa returns home to the hidden high-tech African nation of Wakanda to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king, following the death of his father. But when a man named Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) appears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he’s drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Pitted against his own family, the king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and embrace his future as an Avenger.

The film features a fierce group of Wakandan women, including Nakia (Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o), a War Dog and Wakandan spy; Shuri (Letitia Wright), T’Challa’s little sister and tech wizard; and the Dora Milaje, the all-female Wakandan Special Forces led by Okoye (Danai Gurira). They team up with reluctant ally CIA agent Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman) to help T’Challa defend Wakanda against the forces threatening to destroy it. The extraordinary ensemble cast of “Black Panther” also includes veteran actors such as Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett as Ramonda, T’Challa and Shuri’s mother; Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker as Zuri, the spiritual leader of Wakanda; and Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue, an illegal arms dealer; and standout performances by Academy Award® nominee Daniel Kaluuya as W’Kabi, Royal Counsel to T’Challa; Winston Duke as M’Baku, the formidable leader of the Jabari tribe; and Emmy® Award-winner Sterling K. Brown as N’Jobu, a Wakandan War Dog.

 The action in “Black Panther” is intensified through a musical score by GRAMMY®-nominated composer Ludwig Göransson and soundtrack curated and produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning global superstar Kendrick Lamar and Billboard Magazine’s Executive of the Year Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith. “Black Panther: The Album” topped the Billboard 200 chart for five consecutive weeks and the end-credit track, “All The Stars,” featuring Lamar and SZA, spent nine weeks in the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
