Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Monster Musical

Disney’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Monster Musical is on DVD. Children will enjoy the spooktacular full-length adventures in the episodes, and think about what their favourite costumes are. There are two exciting episodes about searching for pirate treasure with Captain Mickey, and delightful fun down on the farm. The DVD includes nearly 2-hours of adventure plus a cute Exclusive Trick-Or-Treat Mini Tote. I love that the episodes teach children about the importance of being safe especially when they go Trick-Or-Treat.

R3VOLVED Made with 100% Recycled Items

Plastic pollution kills nearly half a million marine mammals every year, and this is a concern we need to unite to stop from happening. I avoid buying plastic bottled water because it is still water that is not healthy for us, and the water bottles fill many landfills. I am glad companies like R3VOLVED is recycling plastic bottles to create planet-friendly products useful for school, home, and office.

Explore: Saint Andrews By the Sea

We loved our stay at Saint Andrews, New Brunswick, which is a beautiful small coastal community. It is a wonderful place to relax and feel the slow pace of life that we are loosing in our fast paced city life. We enjoyed the atmosphere, as we strolled along the streets of Saint Andrews and checked out the stores, restaurants, and attractions.

Watch the amazing Macaque Monkeys on Disneynature Monkey Kingdom

Monkeys are amazing creatures, and very much close to humans in many ways. The similarities we share with monkeys are beautifully and artistically presented in the Disneynature Monkey Kingdom. It has taken three years and talents of many experts to bring this movie to us. This movie based in the beautiful island of Sri Lanka by the ancient ruins founded in the jungles of Polonnaruwa, gives us a perspective of the lives of Macaque monkeys from their eyes. Watching this documentary movie has increased our love and respect for these creatures we had the pleasure of seeing in action during our visits to Sri Lanka.

Our Road Trip to New Brunswick in the 2015 Toyota Sienna

We really enjoyed driving the spacious 2015 Toyota Sienna XLE, which was perfect for our 14 hour road trip from Toronto to New Brunswick. Everyone in the family felt that they had comfortable amount of space to stretch, and to be seated during our travels. The ride was smooth throughout our trip despite the variety of road conditions we went on. In my upcoming posts, you will see that we not only drove the Sienna in the city, but also in small towns, winding highways, rugged roads, and lots of drivable trails.
