tabbyspantry

 

About Alex & Me:

Teenager Reagan Willis has one dream – to play soccer like her hero, Alex Morgan. Her bedroom is a shrine to all things Alex, including a life-size poster of the Olympic gold medalist. Yet in the Willis house, Reagan lives in the shadow of her prep football superstar brother, Logan. When Reagan fails to make the cut of the premiere local soccer club team and is humiliated by her rival Claire, she’s certain her ship has sailed. But after accidentally hitting her head, Reagan’s poster of Alex Morgan suddenly comes to life and everything changes!

 

Please always use caution when exercising, and listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right – don’t do it! Daily exercise improves health, can reduce anxiety, and increases self-confidence – and working together to get through this list as a team will make the whole family feel great!

 

We love a great workout.  PE was always his favorite in school.  Now times are changing and we do it at home.  We do what is calle dmama’s PE time.  We have the living room set up for hot days we can walk in full circles we have a stationary bike and of course some light weight free weights and we workout together.  We have such a blast.

tabbyspantry

 

Teen Titans have been our favorite for years.  I love seeing the young superheros learn about life and what their powers can do and how they can change their life.

It’s week 5 at Camp Warner Bros.! This week, when the forces of evil unite from across time and dimensions, it’ll take the combined efforts of distinctly different, yet similar Super Hero teams to keep the universe secure in the action-packed animated mash-up movie –  Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans.

About Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans:

In Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans, the comedic modern-day quintet takes on their 2003 counterparts when villains from each of their worlds join forces to pit the two Titan teams against each other. They’ll need to set aside their differences and work together to combat Trigon, Hexagon, Santa Claus (that’s right, Santa!) and time itself in order to save the universe.

It’s time to get crafty with these adorable Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans Character Banks –  while learning a little bit about finances and household responsibility!

We got these Magformers free in exchange for an honest review all opinions are our own.

It’s hard to find fun creative toys for my little guy.  He is very picky, but one thing that is always a hit is magnets that he can use to build and Magformers  are not only affordable but hours of fun for my little guy.  He can build what ever his heart desires and he is learning and being creative at the same time.

If you have a little one that could use some help with their hand eye coordination and have some fun at the same time then Magformers is going to be your new go to toy.  We love all the different Magformers sets.  We have been collecting them for awhile now.  The best thing is that they all work together so the different things you can build and do with these are endless.

Create 3D structures from 2D nets with the award winning Rainbow 14Pc Set. Arriving with squares and triangles that are perfect for little fingers to start building a ‘magic ball’, houses, towers and much more! See what your imagination will create! Each geometric shape contains magnets that never reject, so you’ll always hear the MAGFORMERS® click. When playtime is over, use the magnetic power to simply stack and store.
