Gooooood morning! :) It’s a big week at our house. It’s the last week of school, annnnnd How To Train Your Dragon 3 Walmart Exclusive DVD Gift Set is available at Walmart right now. Eek! I was able to pick up our copy yesterday at Walmart. We can’t wait to watch it over & over again. ;) We absolutely love the whole How to Train Your Dragon series, and the third installment does not disappoint! We were able to see the movie in theaters over spring break. It was amazing! Annnnnd I’m sure you’ve heard by now that there is a brand new character ~ a female dragon called Light Fury. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is even a dragon love story. Awwwww! It’s so cute! Well, to celebrate the release, my kiddos decided to make Toothless Slobber Slime. It’s the perfect activity to go along with the movie, and your kiddos will love making it. Let’s me show you! :)

Hello! Football season is upon us. Yay! Annnnd there is nothing better than an inspirational movie about football. Am I right? ;) I just watched the most amazing movie ~ GREATER. It shares the Brandon Burlsworth story. Brandon was the greatest walk on football player in the history of college football. He went from walk on to an All American player by the end of his college career. Buuuut the best part of his story is what kind of person Brandon was. His story will make you laugh, cry & think about life & how you treat people & how one person can make a huge difference in someone’s life! It was ah-mazing! I was inspired by the Brandon Burlsworth movie to make these Football Inspired Mason Jars (with Brandon’s #77, of course!). I was also excited to share this movie with my own football player son. I know he can relate to the things that Brandon overcame in the movie. I also loved the role model Brandon was to everyone he met. Let’s talk football! ;)
