Lady and the Tramp Diamond Edition on Blu Ray and DVD

Besides the The Little Mermaid, Lady and the Tramp has been a long time favorite Disney movie of mine.  It’s a classic love story of dogs instead of humans.  Tramp is from the other side of the tracks and meets Lady which is from a prestigious neighborhood with fences around every tree trunk, sidewalks imageand covered porches.  The tale follows the two from watching the stars at night, sharing a plate of spaghetti, to getting into trouble after the baby {not Lady’s} is born, to falling in love. This is sure to be a Disney favorite in your home, as it is in mine!  This movie brings me back to my childhood because this was my mothers favorite Disney movie.  I can remember sitting down watching it with her on VHS.

Now available on Blu-Ray and DVD.  Your classic has been digitally re-mastered and it shows.  I can tell a huge difference in the quality from the old VHS days. 

Included on the Blu-Ray bonus is:

Audio Commentary: Inside Walt’s Story Meetings

Diane Disney Miller: Remembering Dad

Three Never-Before-Seen Deleted Scenes

Never Recorded Song: “I’m Free as the Breeze”

Although Kelsie is 6 now, she is a huge Minnie Mouse fan and loves any and all things regarding her.  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse happens to be a show that she’s watched for the past few years and the fact that this dvd is geared more towards the girls, she’s really enjoying it.  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is not only fun, but interactive with your kids and educational!

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: I Heart Minnie is the perfect Valentine’s treat for your little girls this Tuesday!  It includes five episodes, one of which is all new and never before seen.  {Minnie & Daisy’s Flower Show, Daisy’s Dance, Daisy’s Pet Project, Minnie’s Rainbow, and Minnie’s Birthday}

Here’s a preview for Minnie’s Birthday:

This dvd retails for $19.99, but I’ve seen it for less than that this past week in the stores.  But $19.99 is very reasonable pricing considering it’s 120 minutes in length. 

Also to get your kids in the mood for Valentine’s Day and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: I Heart Minnie here is a Valentine’s Day Fun Pack….It includes a cookie recipe, mailbag craft, and sharing cards.

Johnson & Johnson Healthy Essentials

Johnson & Johnson is a company/brand that makes so many items that it would be difficult for me to name them all without doing a little Google search first.  However, I can tell you that I received a Johnson & Johnson Healthy Essentials box that was filled with several of their items and we love/use them all.

We received:

  • AVEENO Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15
  • BAND-AID Brand by Cynthia Rowley Adhesive Bandages
  • Johnson’s Baby Lotion
  • LISTERINE ANTISEPTIC
  • NEUTROGENA HAND CREAM Norwegian Formula
  • SPLENDA ESSENTAILS

We have been using all of these things for years now.  To this day we still buy what we call “the pink baby lotion” {Johnson’s Baby Lotion}.  They have come out with so many scents throughout the years but the original is one we always come back too.  It’s soft scent is perfect for even us grown-ups!  And what baby doesn’t smell and feel super soft when using this lotion?!

I started buying AVEENO lotions a couple of summers ago.  I was looking for a lotion that didn’t feel greasy and that contained an SPF without the suntan lotion smell.  I picked up AVEENO on a whim and it’s the only non-scented lotion I use during the Summer.  Of course, it works wonders in the winter as well.  I am just not a lotion person unless I have to use it.

Of course we only purchase BAND-AID Brand band aids.  The others have always fallen short of my expectations.  And the new Cynthia Rowley designs are cutesy enough for Kelsie but also sophisticated enough for Kayla to not complain about.

My husband actually introduced me to LISTERINE mouthwash.  I was an ACT gal myself.  But, I have to say that besides the burn from the alcohol, my mouth feels very clean.  And I was very excited when they put out the no alcohol choices.

We discovered this very NEUTROGENA HAND CREAM that we received in our box last winter.  Zack is a little obsessive about hand washing and while in Target he was looking for a lotion/cream made exclusively for hands.  I knew that NEUTROGENA was a great brand and when I saw the Norwegian Formula and read about the fisherman, I decided that we should give it a go.  It was perfect and we have bought it ever since.  It’s hard to believe that the smallest drop is sufficient enough for your hands, but it is.  I also know that for the price the package is kinda on the small side, but I want to encourage you to try it out because you will not regret it!  Plus, like I said, it only takes a small amount so the bottle will last a lot longer than you think.

I am not a big artificial sweetener fan. I have tried them all and don’t care for any of them.  But I will say that with the new SPLENDA ESSENTIALS that I am more apt to purchase SPLENDA over other artificial sweeteners.  The one we received supports a faster metabolism and I started using it the day it came.  I’ve been using it in my coffee for about two weeks now and I have to say I’m used to the flavor and I like knowing that I’m helping my metabolism.  What woman doesn’t want a quick metabolism?!

Be sure to try out one or all of these Johnson & Johnson Healthy Essential items.  I know that our family uses them all!
