A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures on Blu-ray and DVD Combo Pack will be released on April 3. My kids absolutely adore this movie, so I wanted to offered a copy to one of my lucky readers!
The movie is about:
Born on a Baja, California beach in 1959, new hatchling Sammy must do what his fellow newborn sea turtles are doing: race across the beach to the ocean before a seagull or crab captures them. Thus begins Sammy’s incredible fifty-year ocean journey. Along the way he meets his best friend, a fellow turtle named Ray, and overcomes obstacles both natural and man-made while trying to fulfill his dream of travelling around the world. Throughout his travels, Sammy never forgets about Shelly – the turtle he saved on his first day and loves passionately from afar. Based on the actual course of a sea turtle’s life, this story of one creature’s breathtaking journey is a thrilling voyage the whole family will enjoy.
A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures is one of those movies you just can’t watch enough times (or at least, that’s what my kids tell me!). It definitely tells a great story about protecting the earth. I also love that they touch on the themes of friendship and caring.
Now, if this sounds like something your kids would like, I have 2 copies to giveaway! Here’s what you need to do:

Little Mommy is more than a doll. They are a connecting experience, bringing moms and daughters together throughout life’s memorable moments and important milestones. How many girls do you know want to be like their moms with their dolls? Little Mommy lets them do that.
The first thing I noticed with these dolls is how they smelled. What surprised me was that they didn’t smell like plastic. Instead, they smelled like baby powder! You know, like a newborn baby! I also loved that these dolls are made with soft plastic (that way, if one kid hits the other with the doll, there is way less of a chance of anybody getting hurt). The soft plastic also makes it more realistic to me. The babies were certainly cute too! I can definitely see any little girl carrying these dolls around.
Since I liked these so much, I have arranged for one of my lucky readers to win one! Here’s what you need to do:
Meet my new Nutribear! Yes, you heard me right. For every 10 pounds you lose on Nutrisystem, they send you one of these cute bears! I love how they allow you to visualize how much weight you’ve lost.
