About Teen Titans Go! to the Movies

When the Teen Titans go to the big screen, they go big! “Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” finds our egocentric, wildly satirical Super Heroes in their first feature film extravaganza — a fresh, gleefully clever, kid – appropriately crass and tongue-in-cheek play on the superhero genre, complete with musical numbers.

It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies —everyone but the Teen Titans, that is! But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously Super-Villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line!

The first-ever big-screen version of DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network’s animated TV show stars Greg Cipes (TV’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) as Beast Boy, Scott Menville (TV’s “Spider-Man”) as Robin, Khary Payton (“The Walking Dead”) as Cyborg, Tara Strong (the “My Little Pony” franchise) as Raven, and Hynden Walch (TV’s “Adventure Time with Finn & Jake”) as Starfire, reprising their roles from the series. Will Arnett (“The LEGO® Batman Movie”) and Kristen Bell (“Frozen”) also lend their voices and, in guest roles, Superman super fan and Oscar winner Nicolas Cage (“Leaving Las Vegas”) portrays the Man of Steel; singer songwriter Halsey lends her voice to Wonder Woman; and rapper-singer Lil’ Yachty plays Green Lantern.

Drawn Together | Multicultural Kids Book is Overcoming Language Barriers + Disney Books Giveaway #DrawnTogether

Written by christie 77 Comments
Giveaways & Reviews

Why your child needs to own the new book release from Disney Books, Drawn Together, a Multicultural Kids Book Overcoming Language Barriers. Post sponsored by Disney Books. All bookworm opinions are my own.

Drawn Together | Multicultural Kids Book is Overcoming Language Barriers + Disney Books Giveaway #DrawnTogether

It’s a truth that I’ve known ever since I was a child. Our world needs more multicultural kids books. Growing up, I struggled to find books where I could see me, a small little Asian girl in a life-changing story. Super rare in those days, I clung to the few Asian kids books like they were gold. In fact, I still have them today.

When I heard that Disney Books was releasing a multicultural kids book featuring an Asian child, art, family love and overcoming language barriers – I knew it was going to be an instant classic with my 5-year old. Drawn Together, the newest heartwarming story in our book collection, is the multicultural kids book our kids need. Find out why there’s so much buzz already about this story and scroll down for a Disney Books giveaway!

About Drawn Together

Author Minh Lê and Caldecott-winning illustrator Dan Santat join forces in a heartwarming story of a grandfather and his grandson as they learn to overcome their language barrier through a shared love of art and storytelling.

When a young boy visits his grandfather, their lack of a common language leads to confusion, frustration, and silence. But as they sit down to draw together, something magical happens—with a shared love of art and storytelling, the two form a bond that goes beyond words. With spare, direct text by Minh Lê and luminous illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat, this stirring picture book about reaching across barriers will be cherished for years to come.

Learn more about this new release from Disney Books with this video feature.

An Asian Multicultural Kids Book That My Whasians Need

There’s power when kids see heroes that look like them between the pages of their books. It’s something that stuck with me growing up. And I know that it’s something that will stick with them too. More than just a story, Drawn Together combines the best of storytelling, brilliant visual graphics (from comic book scenes to full spreads of colorful artwork), family love, and a modern approach to diversity, acceptance, and breaking through multicultural barriers.

Celebrating the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, communicating beyond words and family love that is so much deeper than anything – I love how Author Minh Lê and Caldecott-winning illustrator Dan Santat created such a beautiful story. And even with this picture book being recommended for ages 3-5 years, my 9-year old son really got into reading this one as well – with all of the super hero action, comic book styling and lots of visual interest.

Disney Books has done it again. Drawn Together is the multicultural kids book that this generation of children need. And I am so proud that my Whasian children can see themselves, their world and a beautiful Asian culture between the pages. I hope this book is one that will continue to inspire my kids as we pass down this Asian multicultural book down through the generations.

DIY Back Scratcher Dinosaur Craft + The Itchy Book Giveaway

Itching to get your little ones to read more? Me too! With Kindergarten on the horizon, I’m collecting all of the books I can for my littlest reader. She absolutely LOVES reading books right now – and I love that she loves learning to read. Disney Books always has really fun and engaging titles for my kids. It’s not too surprising that the latest new book already has my girl giggling with just the title name. Check out why we love The Itchy Book and make this easy DIY Back Scratcher Dinosaur Craft too.

About The Itchy Book

From Disney Books and the Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! series, this hilarious new book dives into what happens when you combine dinosaurs and that nagging little itch! Perfect for young readers age 6-8 years old, my daughter loves laughing along as dinosaurs resist the urge to scratch in The Itchy Book. Using easy-to-repeat word phrases, an engaging comic book like read and brightly colored illustrations, my daughter is picking up new words and reading them with ease!

Itchy dinosaurs try to follow a very important, very prehistoric rule. A rule so important and so prehistoric, it’s written in stone. DINOSAURS DO NOT SCRATCH!

Triceratops has an itch. . . so does Pterodactyl. . . and Brontosaurus. . . and T-Rex! But Dino-Mo reminds them all of the BIG rule: Dinosaurs do not scratch! What’s an itchy dinosaur to do? Find out in this hilariously charming beginning reader by author/illustrator LeUyen Pham.

DIY Back Scratcher Dinosaur Craft

I couldn’t resist the itch (see what I did there) to make a fun little craft to go along with this adorable new book. This DIY Back Scratcher Dinosaur Craft is the perfect activity to pair with The Itchy Book! Read together then craft together, WINNING! So easy and fun too.

What you will need:

Wood paint stirrer (Hello, FREE craft supply!)
2-5 Wood clothespins
Favorite dinosaur colored paint
2-5 Bobby pins
Glue
Optional: favorite dinosaur inspired “accessories” like pom poms, glitter, etc.

Directions:

Paint the stir stick and clothespins in your child’s favorite dinosaur color. Allow to dry. If desired, let them glue on dinosaur accessories (like pom poms, glitter, construction paper) to bring out their dino’s personality.
Bend bobby pins at one end to curl like a dinosaur claw. Place claw inside of clothespin and glue in place.
On one end of the paint stick, arrange and attach your clothespins at the non-opening ends (3-5 dependent on how many claws your child would like). Glue in place.
If desired, embellish your DIY Back Scratcher with crafty accessories.
DONE! Allow your child scratch all of their itches with their own dino themed DIY back scratcher, perfect for reading along with The Itchy Book!

To scratch or not to scratch, we are loving our new book – definitely on rotation through the summer as we get ready for kindergarten!

Smash Your Fall Fitness Goals with C9 Champion #FallforC9atTarget

Written by christie 297 Comments
Fashion & Giveaways

Smash Your Fall Fitness Goals with new C9 Champion Run Tights & Jackets! This post is sponsored by C9 Champion. All fitness motivated opinions are my own. May contain commissioned links.

Smash Your Fall Fitness Goals with C9 Champion #FallforC9atTarget

Fall is in the air and in our waistlines! Between apple picking season, PSLs and Halloween candy, I’m surrounded by calories! Staying on top of my fitness goals can be challenging, especially when the air is cool and the apple pies are fresh! But don’t let this fall season get you into a fitness slide. Here are my best tips to help you Smash your Fall Fitness Goals. Be sure to scroll down for some fitness motivation + a C9 Champion and $50 Target Gift Card Giveaway!

Set Realistic Goals

It could be as easy as burning enough calories for those daily PSLs or running a longer distance so you can splurge on Halloween candy. The point is to make your fitness goals realistic and obtainable in the fall time frame you’re setting. So 10 pounds in 1 week? Yeah, probably not. But 5 pounds before Don’t forget to write them down too!

Change Up Your Routine

Don’t get stuck in a workout rut this fall. New season calls for new workout routine! Change up your routine with these fast tips:

Get outside! With the fall weather here, now is the perfect time to get outdoors. Change your scenery and your atmosphere for more fitness motivation!
Try something new! Fall is a great time to fall in love with a new workout. Don’t be afraid to try a whole new exercise – even something out of your comfort zone this season.
Push yo-self! Need a change from the same ole exercise? Bring up the intensity! Add weights, break your time intervals, run faster!

Download a New Music Playlist

I love me some motivating workout tunes. Angry chick music, a really catchy top 40 song, a perfect running beat and sprinkled with a few of my blast from the past picks, I cannot workout without my music. But being stuck in a rut can begin and end with the same old songs. Time to download a new music playlist! Above I’ve linked a few popular Amazon workout playlists to try.

Wear Some Killer Fall Fitness Gear from C9 Champion, Available at Target!

As if we needed another reason to love shopping at Target, am I right? Nothing is more motivating to me than new additions to my fitness wardrobe. Fitness fashion has really stepped it up over the years! And with some of the cutest and affordable fitness gear at Target this fall, I’m stocking up on the newest additions from the C9 Champion line.

C9 Champion® Embrace Run Tights

Step out in fitness style this fall with the new C9 Champion Embrace Run Tights. The performance compression fabric is quality and durable, featuring Duo Dry+ to wick moisture and dry fast. There’s definitely not shortage of flexibility, movement and stretch too, perfect for smashing your fall fitness goals. The fun iridescent design adds a great touch too! Add in a zipper pouch to store your essentials and you have the perfect fall fitness tights. I’m wearing a size small, but they run from XS – 2XL at MSRP of $34.99.

C9 Champion® Tech Fleece Full Zip Hoodie

Give me a fitness jacket with thumbholes – I’m SOLD! The new C9 Champion Tech Fleece Full Zip Hoodie is perfect for chillier weather. Featuring lightweight and breathable fleece, this jacket is perfect for layering. Inner fuzzy layer adds extra warmth and feels soft and cozy. I love the drop tail for added butt coverage too. And but definitely the selling point are the included thumbholes so your jacket stays in place while you move. True to size, I’m wearing a small. These jackets run from XS – 2XL at MSRP of $32.99.

C9 Champion® Medium Support Power Core® Compression Racerback Bra

Coming November 5th, this new C9 sports bra pairs perfectly with the new Embrace Run Tights in the fun iridescent design. An affordable price point at only $16.99 MSRP, this medium support sports bra features Duo Dry+ for moisture wicking and fast drying and is perfect for your cycling, dance and cardio this fall.
