Earth to Echo is this generations Goonies… It really is an awesome adventure movie that kids will love. The movie is rated PG and I certainly dont think its a movie for kids younger then 5 but for those kids older – this is their generations Goonies or a kid version of Indiana Jones.
Tuck, Munch and Alex are a closely bonded trio of inseparable friends, but their time together is coming to an end. 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 find a cryptic signal has infected their phones. Convinced something bigger is going on and looking for one final adventure together, they set off to trace the messages totheir source and discover something beyond their wildest imaginations: hiding in the darkness is a mysterious being, stranded on Earth, and wanted by the government. This launches the boys on an epic journey full of danger and wonder, one that will test the limits of their friendship and change all of their lives forever.

We love seeing family both near and far… one thing that sometime has stopped us from traveling is the idea of do we have a crib there… is it a drop side crib of death (DO NOT USE Drop Side Cribs)… is it a pack and play from the 90’s did we loose the instructions to that pack and play will it take me longer to put it together then the visit itself… Thats been the thought process but then came along 4moms (I wish it was called 2dads or something more parent friendly) but no matter the name their products are AWESOME! I’ve been a big fan of the breeze since I first saw it at ABC baby and kids Expo years ago.
There is no silly locks and buttons and angles which you need to open it at… its just works. So Its made visiting Grandpa’s much easier this summer. After driving for hours to the end of long island you know you wont have a happy baby. Harper was actually pretty upset and cranky (can you blame her? I’d be pissed being in a car for 2 hours too). We dash into the house and within minutes we have the Breeze playard setup and ready to go… its perfect for naps and great for me to have a few moments to have piece of mind that she’s not going to walk into my legs, while I carry in the bags.
It takes me 3 minutes to make sure the breeze is all setup and it takes harper about 4 minutes to go to sleep once I got it setup. Now that is a Breeze #DadJoke.
We look forward to more roadtrip with the breeze and know that what harper is sleep is our own and its clean (so my wife doesnt have to worry).
Now no worries if you dont win my giveaway – if you check out 4mom’s facebook page you’ll see theyve got a bunch to giveaway there and we’re just 1/3 the way into the blog tour!
Want to see a great video review on the 4mom breeze – my friend Holly from BabyGizmo posted this one…

Everyone talks about cell phones – I certainly spend a great deal of my time looking for the latest and greatest… but the home phone which many people still have are alive and well – recently we‘ve been having some dropped calls and I needed to get the home phone up and running. I had the ability to review the VTech CS6859-2 (yah the name isnt sexy) but this 2-Handset Cordless Answering System with Caller ID/Call Waiting is just what the doctor ordered. The price was right less then $60 and had all the features I needed…
Digital Answering System – With up to 14 minutes of recording time, the digital answering system grabs calls when you can’t.
Caller ID/Call Waiting – Know who’s calling with Caller ID/Call Waiting by storing 50 calls. Handset displays the name, number, time and date of incoming calls.
Full Duplex Handset and Base Speakerphones – Enjoy a speakerphone that can keep up with your calls. Increase participation by allowing both ends to speak—and be heard—at the same time for conversations that are more true to life.
Backlit cordless handset keypad and display – The entire keypad illuminates along with the LCD screen, allowing for easier viewing in dim light.
Quiet Mode – Silence the ringer on the handset and base unit immediately, or for an extended period of time.
Just to name a few… the biggest one for me is the full duplex speakerphone – you might be asking yourself what the heck is that? or I think I had a full duplex 28.8 modem back in the day… its the ability to talk into the phone and listen/hear the other person at the same time (you know, like you’re actually having a conversation with them) which is more than I can say for my iPhone sometimes.
Our friends from VTech are super excited about their new models over at Walmart…. so we’re giving away both the phone and a $100 giftcard to walmart.

What kid doesnt love playing with trucks… making sound effects as they crash into things… well thats what Monster Jam does in real life! how awesome would be to take the kids to the world’s premier Monster Truck show, returning to the New York Metro area at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY from January 31 – February 2 and at IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ fromFebruary 14 – 15.
Fun for all ages (I recommend 4+ because of loud noises – and even then you might want to bring ear plugs), this four wheeled extravaganza features heart-pounding racing and unbelievable freestyle driving that is affordably priced for the whole family with $15 seats for kids. Standing at 12 feet tall and about 12 feet wide, Monster Jam trucks are custom-designed machines that sit atop 66-inch-tall tires and weigh a minimum of 10,000 pounds. Built for short, high-powered bursts of speed, Monster Jam trucks generate 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower and are capable of speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Monster Jam trucks can fly up to 130 feet (a distance greater than 14 cars side by side) and up to 35 feet in the air.
Monster Jam features some of the most popular Monster Jam trucks on the circuit, including the legendary Grave Digger, Madusa, Grave Digger The Legend, Captain America, Thrasher, Black Stallion, Overkill Evolution and more!
This four-wheeled extravaganza features heart-pounding racing and unbelievable freestyle driving that is affordably priced for the whole family with $15 seats for kids. Tickets can be purchased in-person at the IZOD Center Box Office, by visiting www.Ticketmaster.com or calling 1-800-745-3000.
