To celebrate summer fun, Redbox is asking moms, "What movie meant for kids do you secretly love to watch?" Plus, they are rewarding 2 lucky people with a chance to win $10,000 as part of the Redbox Summer of Fun & Games Sweepstakes.
To say I watch a lot of kid's movies is an understatement! LOL My fave has to be the Toy Story series.
I love that the movie is so well written and includes so many toys that I grew up with! So many of the lines are meant for only adults to "get" really. Sometimes kids movies are all fluff and it takes everything you can do to sit through them. Toy Story is different. The writers understood the parents need for entertainment as well.
And Toy Story 3? Wow. We took our son to see it at the theatre and I bawled. BAWLED. The beginning and ending REALLY hit home with me as a parent.
And how about the song We Belong Together by Randy Newman? It makes me so happy every time I hear it. My son and I have actually danced around the room to it.
Jump in and enter the sweepstakes!

I absolutely love lined envelopes. And while I've made my share of liners, I have never made liners that feature a PHOTO! Brilliant!
Sidenote: Those that are reading this that usually receive a holiday card from me...you may see this idea again in December. LOL Maybe.
Paige of Paiges of Style gives a tutorial on creating lined envelopes. This fabulous tutorial gives a photo step by step of creating the template and then she goes on to show you how to use a photo.
This tutorial is one to bookmark for sure!
Don't forget, these will work on ANY envelope. You don't have to save it for a special occasion or invitation. You can line any envelope! Birthday, anniversary or graduation cards or just a special note dropped to a friend.
When you're pregnant and even in the hospital, everyone brings gifts for the BABY! But what about the MOTHER? Whether you have a traditional birth or a c-section, the Mom is exhausted after and while the new baby is totally worthy of all the fuss, it's so nice for the MOM to receive some pampering as well.
Jennifer of My Own Road created some fabulous printables to attach to gift bags. Create your own hospital survival kit for the new Mom. While most Moms have a hospital bag packed, fill this bag with some things they may not think of or just a few pampering items like these things that Jennifer recommends:

As someone who had a c-section and stayed in the hospital for 4 days, I can tell you that this would have been a VERY welcomed gift!
Jennifer has created those printables in both pink AND blue. Save them for your next visit to the new Mommy!
