***Remember that I generally just price match at Walmart as much as I can rather than go to all the stores separately! I LOVE being able to do that. You can also pricematch at Target, but I find it easier to pricematch at Walmart.

Friends! Oreos are 100 years old! What a yummy century it has been!

I am on the Dianey blogger list now, wich means I get some fun information to share with you about their upcoming and current movies. I want to share a couple of the funt hisngs I have heard about over the past couple weeks.

First, if you have not heard about John Carter yet, it is a Disney movie that opens the Friday everywhere. Here is a little snipit about the movie:

JOHN CARTER is directed by 2-time Academy Award winner Andrew Stanton (“Finding Nemo” & “Wall-E”) and is based on the novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs which were the inspiration for such classic sci-fi adventure movies like “Star Wars” and “Avatar.”

Here is a preview:



You can "Like" JOHN CARTER on Facebook or visit the official site to learn more! (Remember it opens this Friday 3/9/12)

Also, My family saw a movie in the theatre on Saturday and there was a preview for the upcoming Frankenweenie movie. It looks interesting. My boys (the 2 old enough to talk) both yelled "I want to see that!" in the theatre at the end of the preview! And I was sent a preview to share with you!


It opens on October 5, 2012 in theatres and looks like a good one to see as a family!

FYI, Snapfish has a fantastic deal on photo prints that ends today! You can get 100 4x6 prints for $5 shipped!! Use coupon MARCHPRINTS to get this deal. See offer details here

For an excellent compilation of Dr Seuss themed foods for today, check out this post from Rate the Plate Utah!! NICE!

If you have kids, teach kids or know kids (or are on FB) you probably know that today is Mr Geisel's birthday! That's right Dr Seuss was born on this day over 100 years ago. Though he is no longer on this earth, his work lives on and we honor him still in elementary schools all over on this day! I LOVE that! I love that we celebrate the day he came to this Earth, and I love that we celebrate it by honoring his work. I love that my kids have Cat in the Hat hats to wear, Green Eggs and Ham to eat, and wore crazy "Fox in Socks" socks to school today! What a great, imaginative celebration!!! We celebrate it each year at this house.

But I learned something new this year! My friend Hilary posted the following status on FB today:

My favorite Dr. Seuss story contains no sneetches or grinches or cats wearing hats. It's the story of Theodor Geisel, an unpublished manuscript, 27 publishers, and 27 rejections. In frustration, he decided to give up on writing for children and set off to burn the manuscript. Before he could reach his apartment, he chanced upon an old school friend. He told his story, and his friend told his own. He had just become the juvenile editor for Vanguard Press, and asked to see the manuscript.

What followed was the publishing of And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street and the birth of Dr Seuss.

"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"

WHAT? Why have i never heard this great story? I was able to verify this is true on a few websites. On this site writer Melissa Kaplan wrote:

Striding down the street after being rejected for the twenty-eighth time, crumpled Story manuscript jammed under his arm, he was on his way home to burn it when he bumped into an old Dartmouth classmate, Mike McClintock. Mike had, just three hours earlier, been appointed Children's Book Editor by Vanguard Press and was in a bind. Having sold himself to Vanguard as having many connections, he in fact had no manuscript to submit. They ran into each other, the manuscript changed hands, and several months later, U.S. children met a new doctor. (Ted was able to return the favor years later when, as one of Beginner Books' offerings in 1958, McClintock's A Fly Went By was published.)

Let me tell you what I love about this story. I love that he was so committed that he went to 27-28 publishers and got rejected over and over. Through all that-he persevered! He kept going and did not give up! Then, THEN, right at that moment, the moment of giving up, the right person was thrust back into his life at the right time! And Because of this "chance meeting" (which I do not think was by chance) we have been blessed with the amazing work of Mr Geisel as Dr Seuss! WONDERFUL!!

Don't give up! Keep going, and know that at your moment of weakness when you think you are ready to give up-and your breaking point, someone is watching out for you! LOVE!

Just had to share because I feel like it was a great "Deals" for us to have the works of Dr Seuss. Now, go put on some crazy socks, read a Dr Seuss book and have some Green Eggs and Ham for dinner!

So, I signed up for this polling site, Pollbuzzer a while ago. Another blogger had posted about it, so I joined it through her referral link. Supposedly this site will send you a poll with one question, and if you answer that one question, they will give you $1 through PayPal. I was not sure it would really work, and I joined it a few weeks ago. Today I got my first email poll, and it really did credit me $1 Paypal. Seriously. It took 3 seconds to answer the poll (which I did right when the email came to me-you have to answer the poll "in time" whatever that means). Anyway, it is a fun little way to possible make a few bucks here and there. If you are interested in trying it out with me, please sign up using my referral link here. Then let me know when you start getting polls to answer! :)
