We were introduced to Chalk City and couldn’t wait for the weather to cooperate so we could get outside and dive right in. My kids love anything to do with outdoors, so the combination of chalk and outdoors is always a major plus. This set however rocks in comparison to just regular old sidewalk chalk. …
My family and I had a family night. It was complete with popcorn, pillows, blankets and two cute little ladies cuddle up next to us. For this family night, we watched HOP. I must say, this is probably one of my favorite movies that we have recently watched. It was not only wonderful for my…
