DIY Magazine Rack For Under $5!

Sometimes the ideas that my boyfriend comes up with just amazing me. This is a magazine holder from Target that we picked up awhile ago, it only cost $1. I am always checking out the new $1 items they have , you can really find some good stuff. Well I threw some magazines in it and tossed it on the bathroom floor. Keith grabbed it, held it up to the wall where there was a nail available and quickly made this magazine holder even better!

Simply use some rope, any kind as long as it is thick. If you use nylon like we did it will stretch more and allow books and magazines of all sizes. Thread it through and tie a knot at both ends, prop it on the wall with a nail and you're done! Easy magazine holder for less than $5! 
Have you done any cheap and easy crafts lately? Leave a link the comment so I can check them out! Repin if you like this!

First Look At Oz The Great And Powerful Poster From Disney #ozmovie @DisneyPictures

The Wizard Of Oz has always been a dear to my heart movie. I remember so many fond memories throughout my childhood watching it with friends and my family. I can so excited to see the just released poster for Disney's new film "Oz The Great and Powerful", and includes many of my favorite actors. The storyline of the three witches is something I am so excited to see. I love different takes on this story and you bet I will be looking forward to seeing this in theaters! 
Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.
“Oz The Great and Powerful” is produced by Joe Roth and written by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire (credit not final). Grant Curtis, Philip Steuer and Palak Patel are serving as executive producers. “Oz The Great and Powerful” opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.

New Clips From Brave! Now In Theaters. @disneypixar #Brave

Have you made it to theaters to see Disney/Pixars new movie Brave yet? I haven't yet, it looks like I will be waiting until it comes out on DVD but I am so excited to see this! I love this feisty redhead.

Whose Excited For Monters University? This Mom Is! @disneypixar

Alright I have a confession I need to make. Way before I had my son almost all my DVDS consisted of cartoons  or what most people would call children's movies. What can I say, they're fun to watch and I love the animation in them! And one of my favorite cartoons is Monsters Inc. I can recite most of the movie, and I'm actually quite proud of that. I'm so excited to see what Mike and Sully are up to now and all the fun things we're going to watch this duo do! . Here are 4 newly released trailers, enjoy. 








Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. “Monsters University” unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.

Screaming with laughter and fun, “Monsters University” is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”) and produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”). The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013, and will be shown in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
 

You can also watch all four versions of the new trailer and vote for your favorite Mike sleep talking line on the official Monsters University Facebook Page –http://www.facebook.com/PixarMonstersUniversity. The winning line will be drawn up by a Pixar artist and shared EXCLUSIVELY with the fans of Monsters University. 

Korey Meets Plex And His First Rochester Red Wings Baseball Game!

This is another great Daddy moment! If you are not familiar with my boyfriend's job he delivers newspapers every night, yes EVERY night. He has not had a day off in 2 years, he is such an amazing man for how much work he does. Since he is out every night he listens to the radio and just happened to catch hearing Plex from Yo Gabba Gabba would be visiting the Rochester Red Wings . In the morning when I woke I was told to pack up and get ready for a visit to Rochester. We are lucky enough to live right in between two major cities, so I was excited that we were leaving for the day.

When I heard it was to see Plex, I even squealed with glee! Korey watched some Yo Gabba Gabba in the morning and we made sure to point out to him that he would be seeing Plex, the same beanie character that he carried around all day. Now I have seen many children meet characters in suits and knew the chances of a child crying are 50/50 we I was well prepared for that. If you remember earlier though, Korey has met Spongebob and he didn't tear up. Same with Santa and the Easter Bunny.

It was rainy on the way there but once we arrived the rain had stopped. Out we set with Duder (one of Korey's many many nicknames) to find Plex. It was a bummer when we found Plex that he was about to head for a break, but they let us get a quick picture with him. Guess what happened? Yup, my baby cried and cried. He refused to take a picture without Daddy so this is the only good photo of them with Plex that I got. I don't even want to go into how much we paid to park and get tickets to the game, because really we did fully go to see Plex. Oh well I said after Plex took his break, we knew this could happen.

So we went and looked around at the different food they offered and looked at the gift shop for the team. Keith and I both said we are definately coming back to try the different food they have, they have cheesecake on a stick! I workout so I like a treat every now and then. Prepare for lots of pictures of the rest of our day at Frontier Field!

I LOVE photos of them walking holding hands :)

Yummy funnel cake!

Yeah we saw Plex again before we left. He still wasn't having it.

My two favorite boys!

The Time That Korey Met Spongebob Squarepants!

If you take as many pictures as I do I'm sure that you are probably behind in updating family and even your blog readers with photos and adventures you and your family have been on. While going through my photos and organizing them I found the photo of Korey visiting Spongebob Squarepants at our local library. He had a blast and the library staff thought he was so adorable. Credit goes out to Keith his father for finding out about the event and running him up there after breakfast!
Korey is wearing a Spongebob hat,shirt and socks. If you notice his Daddy also is wearing a Spongebob shirt!

How I Make Money Online And You Could Too

I have been asked a few times how I as a SAHM make money. Well I'm going to share with you the websites that pay me!

SocialSpark

If you have a blog this is a first stop to sign up for and make some money. There are a few different ways to earn money through SocialSpark. First, you write articles for advertisers and they offer to pay you a specific amount. You are able to negotiate the price if you would like to get paid more, I have not yet used this feature so I cannot speak for advertisers following through in paying you more.
The second way to get paid by them is advertising their deals. If someone buys a deal from you get a percentage of that. Everything that is paid to you is paid through PayPal. You need to make sure that you have one set up for your money to come. Usually money comes every 30 days.
The last way to participate with SocialSpark and get paid is by putting up their advertisement code and get paid through different advertisers by clicks on your ad.  If you haven't joined SocialSpark yet I highly suggest that you jump aboard and start earning money.
SuperpointsThis is one of the super easiest ways to make money. All you have to do is push a button! Superpoints pays through PayPal as well, so again you need to have this set up. You get to push the Super Lucky Button, and wait for points! Each point you can think of as a penny. There are a lot of items you can turn your points in for, I use it for PayPal. 

So far I've made $30 in 3 months. I think that's pretty good! If you are able to get more friends to join you earn what they earn as well! Join me now

Mturk 
Welcome to a place where you could work for ANYONE! People/companies pay you a certain amount to complete different tasks. Such as writing articles, taking surveys, or identify differences in images. I have earned over $300 in the past year doing different tasks for this site. Join today and choose who you want to work with. They give you a task and how much they will pay to complete the task, sometimes you can do the task more than once! A lot of the tasks are very easy, I suggest this site to anyone.
