Shaun the Sheep Movie in Theaters August 5 | Enter to win a Shaun the Sheep Movie Prize Pack!

August 3, 2015Giveaways, moviesgiveaway, Influencer Central, Shaun the Sheep Movie, SponsoredAlicia

If you’ve been to a movie lately you’ve seen the trailer for “Shaun the Sheep Movie“. From the creators of Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit this movie will be a huge hit with your kids and you’ll love it too! Landing in theatres August 5th, “Shaun the Sheep Movie“ is easy to follow for the youngest of viewers, even though it features zero dialogue. Shaun is the smart one in a herd of goofy wooly stop-motion English sheep who spend their days doing typical sheep things while their caring Farmer keeps them in line with a very stringent schedule. Shaun and his pals leave the safety of their farm and head into the netherworld of the nearby town in search of their loving, long-time farmer, who has amnesia. This is when things, almost everything, seems to go wrong! The sheep must adopt disguises and evade the animal catcher, Trumper, in order to find their farmer in the Big City.

At just an hour and 25 minutes long, the claymation movie flies by with laughs, oohs, and ahhs. The film geared for ages 4-10 stars the popular characters from the long-running children’s television series of the same name. Meet the movie’s youngest character, Timmy who enjoys copying everything Shaun does in the “Meet Timmy” Featurette below.

Adults will find humor in the film through the use of dialog-free smart wisecracks, visual film puns, including a sequence satirising Silence of the Lambs. This claymation film wasn’t quick to come to fruition. Standing seven inches tall, Shaun’s clay model was posed, poked, and reshaped thousands of times resulting in a high quality claymation film you won’t believe isn’t computer generated. The textures are unbelievable with Shaun’s fleece even having to be stiffened with PVA glue to stop it from catching fire! Shaun is a true sport! 😉 Model makers crafted 157 human figures and 197 sheep puppets—including 21 for Shaun alone. Each sheep needed to be covered with 31 inches of fleece. The miniature environments featured in this film overflow with lovingly rendered detail.

We’re planning to take my daughter and a friend to see Shaun the Sheep Movie when it comes out in theatres this week. It’ll be a end-of-the-first-week-of-school celebration!

Connect with Shaun the Sheep Movie fans on Twitter and Facebook. Use the hashtag #ShauntheSheep to share what your kids think about the movie.

P&G Stock Up and Save Event at Walmart with a Gift Card Giveaway!

April 17, 2015Contests, Shoppinggiveaway, P&G, WalmartAlicia

The Walmart gift cards and information have been provided by P&G.

Spring has sprung in Atlanta and in spite of spreading a thick layer of pollen on every surface imaginable, Spring is the time when the kids spend the most time outdoors. Paper towels, paper towels, paper towels… that’s one of our staples during Spring. Whether we use them to wipe pollen off Madelyn’s sandbox, the swings, or blow noses when tissues aren’t available outside, paper towels can be found around every corner of our house and outdoor spaces.

What else does Spring mean for our family? Well, this goes along with the playing outside I mentioned earlier… laundry detergent galore! We recently stocked a shelf system in our garage with 4 HUGE things of Tide Coldwater amongst other often used items. It seems during the spring and summer months we do three times the laundry as in winter. It makes sense seeing as how the kids are much more active outdoors and get dirty and stinky.

Thanks to Walmart and P&G teaming up for Walmart’s Stock Up and Save event, I was able to seriously stock up.. and save.. on some of our favorite staples this week!

JORD Wood Watch: The Perfect Spring and Summer Accessory

April 10, 2015Fashion & StyleFashion, giveaway, JORD, style, Wood WatchAlicia

I don’t know about you, but with the emergence of the first buds on the trees – finally, I am reminded of the arrival of spring and my thoughts turn to updating my wardrobe. I may not be the most fashion conscious of women but after a long, cold winter filled with boots, sweaters, and pants, it is finally time to break out my favorite skirts, dresses, light blouses, and sandals.

With each new season, I try make it a point to incorporate a new piece into my wardrobe, whether it be a piece of statement jewelry, a fun Spring scarf, or an eye-catching piece top. The perfect accessory can pull an outfit together, breathing life into an otherwise drab ensemble, many of which mine are despite my sister being a fashion blogger. Interesting isn’t it? For me, this year’s go-to item is a real no brainer. I updated my wardrobe with a JORD Fieldcrest wood watch. For the eco-conscious woman (or man), a JORD watch, or two, is the perfect addition to their wardrobe. The Fieldcrest has a case of 39mm and a thickness of 11mm, a great size for the average woman’s wrist.

JORD uses sustainably sourced wood from all corners of the globe. Each unique band and face may contain one or multiple types of wood in line with the design and function of each individual watch. Check out their current series of watches, which feature bamboo, maple, sandalwood, blackwood, cherry, zebrawood, and koa. And best of all, JORD will size your time peice for you upon purchase, ensuring that your watch is neither too loose nor too tight.

It can be extremely difficult to find a watch that accommodates the bountiful colors of spring and summer fashion. Yet the earthy, neutral tones of a JORD wood wristwatch more than meet the challenge of integrating an everyday item into a colorful Spring/Summer wardrobe.

Whether you’re wearing neutral khakis and whites or stepping out in the corals, greens, and golds that beckon vacation, you’re good to go with a JORD wood wristwatch.Each JORD wristwatch is a miniature work of art whose face, bezel, and strap feature distinctive hues and wood grains. Moreover, a JORD wristwatch’s breathable, comfortable band is perfect for summer’s hot temperatures.

If you’re an Apple fan like me, you might be anxiously awaiting the release of the Apple Watch that will cost you upward of $400. For the price you’d pay for one Apple Watch, why not get two beautiful JORD wood watch?

It’s hard to go wrong with a JORD Fieldcrest watch. This gorgeous, unique item is the perfect addition to your spring and summer wardrobe.

To see more beautiful JORD wood watches, check out their website, Facebook page and Instagram.

We want you to have the opportunity to wear a JORD watch this Spring/Summer so we’re giving a lucky reader a $120 JORD gift certificate to spend on the wood watch of their choice! If you fancy a JORD wood watch over $120 simply pay the difference and get the watch of your dreams!
