<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong> A classic love story unfolds in the best Disney tradition as a lovely young pedigreed cocker spaniel named Lady, who lives a pampered life, finds herself falling romantically for Tramp, an amorous street-smart pooch without prospects. Although they have fun together on several dates, including a sentimental spaghetti dinner by moonlight at Tony’s restaurant, their relationship is strained not only by Lady’s loyalty to her human family and their newborn baby, but by Tramp’s devil-may-care attitude that eventually gets Lady in trouble and tossed into the dog pound. However, good-hearted Tramp redeems himself by saving the baby from potential harm and thus wins Lady’s love and the affection of her human family.</p>

<strong>Our Thoughts:</strong><br />
I always get super excited when a new Disney movie comes out on Blu-ray and DVD. When I first heard that Lady and the Tramp would be released I knew that my daughter and I had to make this movie night very special. I decided to make spaghetti to along with the theme of our movie night. The kids were excited to see the scene in the movie where Lady and Tramp share the bowl of spaghetti. This is one of the all time best love stories and perfect to watch together with your whole family. To make it extra special make up a batch of spaghetti and meatballs before the show! You can also use this widget below to find some fun activites and printouts for your little ones. I hope you all enjoy them as much as my family did.</p>

<p><strong>Buy It:</strong> You can purchase Disney&#8217;s Lady and the Tramp Diamond Edition on Blu-ray/DVD in stores or online now!</p>
<p>Disclosure: I received a copy of the movie in order to facilitate my review. All opinions expressed are based on my own experience and may differ from others.  No other monetary compensation was received.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just last month we decided that it was time to upgrade our daughter Aubrey from her toddler bed to her very own &#8220;big girl&#8221; bed. We went to about 4 different furniture stores searching for that perfect bed for our little princess. She was so excited and to be honest so was I. After shopping all day we came to our last store and wouldn&#8217;t you know we found the most gorgeous <strong>solid wood sleigh bed</strong> that went perfectly with Aubrey&#8217;s room. The price was great so we ended up buying her the bed, mattress and dresser set. We also found a dresser for my husband and I as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bed.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2616" title="bed" src="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bed.png" alt="" width="288" height="175" /></a></p>
<p>In the past we have used a <a href="http://www.3pd.com/">home delivery</a> service for our furniture purchases and it worked out so well that I knew we were going to pay a little extra to have these pieces delivered as well. To me it is worth every penny to have the <a href="http://www.3pd.com/About/History.aspx">national delivery service</a> deliver the furniture and set it up, That way I know it&#8217;s done right! I have made the mistake of not having my furniture delivered and got it all the way home to find out it the headboard our our king size bed was broken. Had the company delivered it, they could have hauled it off and then brought back a new headboard. Instead my husband and I had to load it back up and take it back to the store. This was not a fun task and a huge headache.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So I would love to know, do you have your furniture delivered?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was compensated for my time to write this post, however all opinions are honest and my own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think I have mentioned before just how much my son Jeremy LOVES to build things. He could honestly sit in his room for hours coming up with the neatest creations and scenarios for playtime. Now that Aubrey is getting older she is equally as enthusiastic about building and playing with her toys, and its really fun as a mom to watch them create and play together. Last year we got the chance to review a few <a href="http://www.knex.com/">K&#8217;NEX products</a> and my kids instantly fell in love with these toys. K&#8217;NEX has such a variety of products for kids (or kids at heart) of all ages.</p>
<p><a href="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120206_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2591" title="KNEX Products" src="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120206_2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>A few weeks ago Aubrey and Jeremy got a few surprise products from K&#8217;NEX to play with and review. They were sent:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.knex.com/Lincoln-Logs/">Lincoln Logs Cedar Creek Homestead</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.knex.com/products/">(4) Packs of Mario Kart Wii Figurines</a></p>
<p>My kids have always been huge fans of Lincoln Logs so I knew they were going to love this new set. Lincoln Logs are made from real wood making them the perfect building toy. My 3 year old especially loves Lincoln Logs because they are easy to build with and since they have the slots at the ends it makes connecting them together alot easier than regular blocks.</p>
<p><a href="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120206_13.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2592" title="Lincoln Logs" src="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120206_13-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>The Mario Kart Figurines were a HUGE hit at our house. We were sent 4 packages, so I let each of my kids pick out two. These are really made for older kids but Aubrey (who is 3) played with these figurines for the whole day. It was very cute to watch her and Jeremy battle it out.</p>
<p><a href="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120206_20.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2593" title="20120206_20" src="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/20120206_20-300x160.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="160" /></a>K&#8217;NEX is one of my favorite products for kids because they not only a variety of toys for both boys and girls but their prices are very affordable for any budget.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Buy It: You can purchase K&#8217;NEX products online or in stores such as Walmart, Target, and Toys R US.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I was looking through some of my old photos that my best friend Carly took of me when she was first getting into photography. I was completely shocked at how much my body has changed in just 5 short years. Of course during these 5 years I got pregnant, breastfed and became a stay at home mom and all three of these things combined have definitely taken it&#8217;s toll on my body. With my 31st birthday only a month away I have been toying with the idea of having a few nips and tucks here and there to get my body back to the way it was before I had kids. I am pretty sure that we won&#8217;t be having any more kids so I would love to get rid of that extra muffin top that I have been carrying around and have often wondered how much would a <a href="http://www.plasticsurgeryguide.com/tummy-tuck-cost.html">tummy tuck cost</a>?</p>
<p><a href="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pic-of-me.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2551" title="pic of me" src="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pic-of-me-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a><br />
The picture above is one that was taken a few months before I got pregnant with Aubrey. Little did I know that this would be one of the last times I would fit into these shorts..sigh!  A few of my friends have actually had plastic surgery so it makes me feel better to talk with someone who has actually experienced something like this first hand. One of the ideas that we talked about was how some people turn their surgery into a mini-vacation and choose to go out of state to have their procedures done. This is actually not a bad idea especially if you can find a highly qualified and recommended surgeon. It&#8217;s easy to do a search online you just choose which state or location you would like and search, so if your looking for a doctor in Arizona you would just search for <a href="http://www.plasticsurgeryguide.com/find-a-plastic-surgeon/arizona/">plastic surgeon in Arizona</a>.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t made any definite decision on what I would like to do or not because surgery is surgery, you have to know all of the risks and benefits of a procedure. But it&#8217;s nice to know my options just in case.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that our kids our getting older we are spending more and more time outdoors with activities such as camping, hiking and what ever other adventures we can come across. Last year we spent a a weekend at the lake camping out and it didn&#8217;t take long for my kids to find a few trails and we were off. They have talked non stop about how much fun our weekend getaway was and wanting to  go back this summer! Last year we carried a backpack but it was just your typical school type book bag and didn&#8217;t have much room for our supplies, not to mention it was pretty awful on the back. I knew this year we needed something that was built to not only carry a large amount of items but also something that either my husband or myself could easily carry.</p>
<p> <a href="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/untitled.bmp"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2570" title="untitled" src="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/untitled.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://tetonsports.com/Outfitter4600.htm">Outfitter4600</a> is Teton Sports largest backpack and designed for those times when you want to take alot of things with you, without killing your back. Believe me when I say this thing is HUGE, just when you think you have filled every pocket you find another one. There is so much space in this bag, it&#8217;s really amazing at how much you can fit inside.</p>
<p><a href="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/teton.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2560 alignleft" title="teton outfitter4600" src="http://funsavingmoney.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/teton-140x300.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Specs:</strong></p>

<p>Waist Belt: 28&#8243; – 50&#8243;</p>
<p>Torso Length: 17&#8243; – 21&#8243;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Outfitter4600 has eight pockets, two pouches, four compression straps, gear loops, eyelets, mesh storage, bungee storage, and expandable hood storage. It&#8217;s large enough to carry all of your gear including a sleeping bag. With the reinforced straps, thick padding, aluminum stays and high load buckles this backpack will help you and the pack hold up with even the heaviest loads.<br />
<a href="http://s953.photobucket.com/albums/ae11/funsavingmoney/?action=view&amp;current=016-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0px;" src="http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae11/funsavingmoney/016-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="417" height="417" border="0" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Outfitter4600 is everything we were looking for in a high quality backpack. It&#8217;s perfect for not only hiking and camping but we plan on taking this with us the next time we go to Disney World! It has a pocket and storage for just about anything you could think of.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://s953.photobucket.com/albums/ae11/funsavingmoney/?action=view&amp;current=055-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0px;" src="http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae11/funsavingmoney/055-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="480" height="249" border="0" /></a><br />
I know sometimes it&#8217;s hard to to judge something&#8217;s size just from a picture so I did a little comparison in the pictures above. The first one is a regular sized backpack sitting next to the Outfitter4600&#8230;big difference, isn&#8217;t&#8217; it! The picture next to it is of my son wearing the backpack, it&#8217;s almost as tall as he is. My husband and I are extremely happy with this backpack and look forward to taking it with us on our next camping/hiking trip.
