Disney's Oz The Great and Powerful is a Fun to Watch Family Movie

Disney' Oz the Great and Powerful was lots of fun to watch on blu-ray with the whole family. This epic adventure with vibrant picture and sound is really entertaining. We liked the funny dialogue and the word play in the movie, which was refreshing and fun to watch. 

The movie is about Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. He thinks he hit the jackpot, until he meets the three witches: Theodora, Evanora and Glinda who are not convinced that he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting.

My #WindowsPhone Experience with the Nokia Lumia 920

I am participating in the Microsoft Canada #SummerSwitch 30-day challenge. I was given the Nokia Lumia 920  #windowsphone to explore and use it for my daily activities. I have fallen in love with this phone from the time I saw it because of its sleek, modern, innovative design. It is very comfortable to hold and handle. 

This phone is definitely impressive, as I have been having my family, friends and colleagues wanting to check it out and wanting the same for themselves.

All Access Organizers Help Us See What We Store

When we have belongings that we don't use all the time, I find it easy to store them in containers and stack them up so it saves space. However, when we put these belongings in boxes that are not transparent it becomes difficult to access the content, or to remember and identify what is inside even if there are labels :) 

There is a solution for this problem since the Rubbermaid All Access Organizers have a clear, drop down door on the front of the boxes that make it easy for us to see and take the items out without un-stacking the heavy containers. These space saving stackable containers would be ideal to organize our garages, closets, children's toys, craft rooms, offices, and more. 

I have tried a few things to keep the toys looking less cluttered, and finally have found these containers to be helpful. These containers help my children to easily put and take their toys out. It has also helped me store clothing and craft items. 

These containers are available in small, medium, large sizes at Walmart and Home Depot.

Giveaway:

This new option for storing our items is very convenient and I think you too will like using these containers in your home.

Win 1 of 10 Downy Unstopables™ In Wash Scent Booster Bottles

I like using Downy fabric softener, and was glad to try the new Downy Unstopables™ in my laundry. We can use these beads paired with the Downy fabric softener in our laundry. This in-laundry scent booster beads give our fabric a boost of freshness. We add a few beads depending on how much scent we like into the washer before we start our laundry wash-cycle. I don't like strong scents on my laundry, so I used about a teaspoonful and it did make a difference, as the clothes smelled fresh.
