Cowgirls n' Angels Review



I recently got to see an online advanced screening of Cowgirls n' Angels. This was my first advanced screening, and it was so much fun!


About Cowgirls n' Angels:
Cowgirls N' Angels is a heartwarming movie that tells the story of Ida, a feisty and rebellious young girl, who has dreams of finding her father, a rodeo rider. While searching for her dad, she connects with the Sweethearts of the Rodeo, a team of young female rodeo riders run by former rodeo star Terence Parker. Recognizing Ida's innate talent for trick riding, Terence recruits her for their ranks. Accepted wholeheartedly by her new "family," Ida finds a new passion that redefines her life, and may also help her find the father she's been searching for.




Release Date: May 25, 2012
Director: Timothy Armstrong
Starring: Alicia Witt, Bailee Madison, Jackson Rathbone, and James Cromwell
Rating: PG


My Thoughts: This was such a sweet movie. I love Bailee Madison, she is such a great actress. She really brought Ida to life. Ida had a big spirit and she was so fun! Her story was just beautiful. A little girl looking for her daddy. I loved it so much. When the other Sweethearts started helping her look I was really happy. It was like Ida had found a place she fit into. 


Terence (James Cromwell) was a great role model for Ida, and all the Sweethearts, really. He took them all under his wing and gave them something to love, and have fun with. The rest of the Sweethearts were great. They each had personality and really brought more to the movie. I also enjoyed Kansas (Madison Burge) and Justin's (Jackson Rathbone) story. They had some sweet scenes as their relationship blossomed.


This movie is a great family friendly story. Little girls will fall in love with the horses and Ida's fun personality. I can't wait to share it with my little girl. Of course then she will want a horse, but I think she will love this movie, too. It is rated PG so be sure you know what to expect before turning it on for young children. I did not notice any bad language or anything like that. 


I watched an online advance screening of the above movie in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions were 100% my own.

Gothic Innocence Review and Giveaway



I have only been a Karma Media team member for a short amount of time now, but I really love all the new products and shops I am being introduced to. The latest shop is Gothic Innocence. This is a great shop that creates beautiful Gothic items. They feature several beautiful cameo designs that can be made into pins, pendants, and lockets. The cameos all feature beautiful images such as dolphins and fairies, and Gothic skulls in several colors.


I received a beautiful cameo pin from Gothic Innocence. It features an Ivory fairy watching birds and butterflies. It has a black matte background and is set into silver. There is a clasp on the back to attach it to clothing.


This piece is so beautiful. The design is very intricate. The details on the little fairy and the bird and butterflies are amazing. The pin seems very well made and sturdy. I absolutely love everything about it. Now I really want to go back and order more items for my younger sister. I think that she would love some of the beautiful pins and pendants that Gothic Innocence has created. I think that the items from Gothic Innocence will appeal to many people.

On Toby's Terms & Toby and His Hospital Friends Giveaway

Photobucket
Toby has specially 'PAWdographed' both books for our lucky winners !!

This amazing giveaway is open Worldwide
Ending on Saturday 26th May at 12.01am EST
Hosted by Karma Media

5 WINNERS RECEIVE BOTH FANTASTIC BOOKS !!

On Toby's Terms
When Charmaine and her husband adopted Toby, a five-year-old Chesapeake Bay retriever, they figured he might need some adjusting time, but they certainly didn't count on what he'd do in the meantime. Soon after he entered their lives and home, Toby proved to be a holy terror who routinely opened and emptied the hall closet, turned on water taps, pulled and ate things from the bookshelves, sat for hours on end in the sink, and spent his days rampaging through the house. Oddest of all was his penchant for locking himself in the bathroom, and then pushing the lid of the toilet off the tank, smashing it to pieces. After a particularly disastrous encounter with the knife- block in the kitchen-and when the couple discovered Toby's bloody paw prints on the phone-they decided Toby needed professional help. Little did they know what they would discover about this dog. On Toby's Terms is an endearing story of a beguiling creature who teaches his owners that, despite their trying to teach him how to be the dog they want, he is the one to lay out the terms of being the dog he needs to be. This insight would change their lives forever.

Toby the Pet Therapy Dog, and his hospital friends
Toby is a big, brown, happy dog. Every week, his owner, Miss Charmaine takes him to visit and comfort children who are in the hospital. Follow Toby the service dog for a day, and see how he makes friends with the children, helps make them happy and forget that they are sick and away from home. * Beautifully illustrated, Toby, the Pet Therapy Dog teaches young readers the wonders of being of service to others. * A happy story that also sends a positive message about community, as well as the importance of kindness to pets.

Special Thanks to Toby and Author Charmaine Hammond for these super prizes xxx

GOOD LUCK !!

Kids 1st Shape Puzzle Review


My children think that they always need to use our smart phones or tablets. I have started getting them little apps every once in a while. They love them all but I love the educational ones the most. That is why I was so excited to get a chance to review the Kids 1st Shape Puzzle app on the iPhone.




Created by Gil Weiss, the Kids 1st Shape Puzzle has 16 fun and educational puzzles. The puzzles are all colorful and really cute. Each puzzle has a variety of sounds.  My three year old daughter had such a good time with all the puzzles.





The interactive alphabet puzzle was a big favorite for my daughter. She is starting school in the fall and has been working so hard to learn her letters and numbers. This puzzle is a fun way to help her work on that. As she touched each letter that appeared it told her the letter and what started with that letter. After she completed the puzzle the app went through the alphabet with her.




Another favorite was the safari animals. Not only did my three year old love this one, but my two year old son had fun with it, too. He thought all the animal sounds were really great. His favorite is the lion.






You can purchase the Kids 1st Shape Puzzle app at the Apple iTunes store. You can learn more about the app on their Website and Facebook.
