I Think I did Pretty Good

April 17, 2011

I am not a baker, usually I burn, but with money being so tight I wanted to make my own cake for my daughter. This is the first time, I’ve ever taken a cake out of the pan. I think I did pretty good! Oh and I only put her last name on there because we have to many letter candies.

What do you think?

Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure Blu-ray and DVD Review

April 16, 2011

After a talent scout spots her performing with her dog Boi at a charity gala, Sharpay Evans (Tisdale) sets off for the bright lights of NYC, convinced instant fame and fortune are in the bag (designer bag, that is). But theatre’s a dog-eat-dog world, as she and Boi discover when they encounter the devious owner of a pampered pooch named “Countess” and a scheming Broadway starlet who will do anything to crush the competition. Fortunately, Sharpay also meets Peyton (Austin Butler), a handsome student filmmaker who finds Sharpay nearly as fascinating as she finds herself.

Bonus features:

Bloopers,
Austin Cam,
The Evolution of Sharpay.

***This movie reminds me a little of Legally Blonde, Sharpay is rich and spoiled, but when she is on her own she struggles and makes a positive impact on people. Sharpay goes to NYC to find her dream of being on Broadway, she has big problems along the way like her dog not being allowed in her suite, fighting for roles and more. We really like this movie, it shows kids that when you believe in yourself you can accomplish your dreams and goals.

The official screening and reception was held on April 6, Here is some footage of the cast and friends talking about the movie.

Retail: $39.99 but you can find on Amazon for $19.99

Running Time: 89 minutes

Release date: April 19, 2011

Disclosure:No compensation was received for this post, a product was provided for my review.

Bop It! Review

April 13, 2011

Get ready to react fast! Turn on the Bop It game unit and get ready to bop, pull and twist your way to victory. For even more of a challenge, activate the microphone and shout it, too! Choose to play alone or invite your friends for a game of Party Bop-you’ll all have to use your knees, elbows, and hips to win! The better you get, the more skill levels you unlock, so think fast and be the Bop It master!

I have had a lot of fun playing with this toy, at the same time its takes a lot of focus. You can play the regular version or shout it. I think regular is easier my high score was 25.

Retail: $22.99 but you can find on Amazon for $14.09

My rating: 8
