Do you know what Friday, March 29th is? The release of the new the new re-imagined “Dumbo”. Walt Disney’s original, classic animated tale “Dumbo”, opened Oct. 23, 1941 and won an Oscar® for best scoring of a musical picture and was nominated for best original song for “Baby Mine.”

The new movie includes a star cast of Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, Alan Arkin, Finley Hobbins, and Nico Parker. Additionally, the world famous director is Tim Burton.

From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure “Dumbo” expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

Directed by Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger (“Ophelia,” “Dream House”), and produced by Justin Springer (“TRON: Legacy”), Kruger, Katterli Frauenfelder (“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” “Big Eyes”) and Derek Frey (“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” “Frankenweenie”), “Dumbo” flies into theaters on March 29, 2019.

The family and I got a sneak peak into this amazing adventure. It holds your classic characters, namely the main character Dumbo, but the movie is re-imagined. A new story line with new characters. The focus is on the circus and leads to how greed and fame hurt others.   I have a very sensitive 9 year old and there were three times she cried in the movie and a few times she covered her eyes. With every Disney story line, the hero “wins” but there are struggles to get there and sometimes the struggles at the cost of an animals can be hard to see.

The cast was great, they did such a beautiful job and the imagery was breath taking – it is so amazing what can be done with a movie and computer now a days. The eyes on this sweet little elephant were amazing. He reminded me so much of my 15 month old, not for his ears, but for his captivating eyes (and his love of his mama!)

Be sure to fall back in love with Dumbo this spring.

Five Features to Look for in a Car Seat

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

by Filed Under: Online Shopping, Review Leave a Comment

There is one brand of car seat all five of my children have used… Britax. Britax far exceeds my list of features to look for in a car seat. Journey with me as I load five kids in the car!

Five Features to Look for in a Car Seat

In the summer of 2016, I found myself sipping a latte and wondering the baby aisle of Target. I was once again a pregnant mother after raising two beautiful girls for almost a decade. The aisles looked different this time. There were products and brands I wasn’t familiar with.  I found myself picking up a box with the photos of an adorable baby only to realize the product was for snucking snot out of a child’s nose with your mouth. (I learned during cold season that this product actually it works!) I grabbed another gadget and placed it back still not understanding it’s purpose even after reading the products label. The baby aisle definitely looked different.

I chuckled now because that day seemed so silly to me. I went from being a “novice” to quickly becoming an expert. In just under 15 months time, the Lord blessed me with three babies since that Target plus latte stroll. I had one baby in the fall of 2016 and two babies in the winter of 2017.  In my Target run, I was a “new” mom and starting all over when it came to babies and gadgets. One brand, however, that remained true from my first “set”of kids to my second “set” was Britax.

By the time my youngest boys are out of a car seat, I will have had a car seat in my car for 18 years. That might just make me a car seat expert. One brand of car seat all five (yes, I am a mother of five) of my kids have had is Britax. The seat is reliable, well built, comfy and sleek.  There are many reasons I stand behind this brand, but most importantly, the brand exceeds all my exceptions on my Five Features to Look for in a Car Seat.

(now retired)

First: Your Car Seat Should Grow with Age

As much a safety is a concern for me, having a seat that can last a long time is also important to me, as well. I look at a car seat as an investment and I don’t want to make a car seat investment every year. I want to purchase a seat and keep it for a long time. The Essentials by Britax Emblem Convertible Car Seat allows use for a baby as small as 5 pounds to as big as 65 pounds (Minimum Height: 17 inches, Maximum Height: 49 inches). To give you perspective, my ten year old is 66 pounds! She was 49 inches at about 8 years old. To give you more perspective, one of the twins did come home from the hospital under 5 pounds.  In this case we would not have passed the car seat test for discharge and we would have to borrow a seat form the hospital or a friend for a week or two since he was too small.

A picture of the arrival of our second Britax , the Britax Frontier 90.

Second: Five Point Harness

This is huge to me. The five point harness. A five point harness is the webbing portion of the car seat that adjusts over baby to hold him in the seat. You want to make sure your hardness it at shoulder level and the buckle connects at your child’s chest. To show you how Britax exceeds my expectations, this seat has a 10-Position harness to easily adjust for your growing baby. The harness heights are 8.5″, 9.5″, 10.5″, 11.5″, 12.5″, 13.5″, 14.5″, 15.5″, 16.5″, and 17.5″ You also have an adjustable head rest getting your baby in that right positioning for safety.

The Essentials by Britax Emblem Convertible Car Seat has side head and body protection.

Third: Side Head and Body Protection

We live on the outskirts of DC, in Virginia to be exact. My car experiences the pot holes of the city, the 12 line highways of the beltway that surrounds it and occasionally a rural back road. Passengers can be toss a bit and it’s important to me everyone is secure, especially for younger babies that lack head support and of course in the case of an emergency like a car accident.

Beyond the standard cushion of this seat, the head area has an EXTRA soft layer of side impact protection. This provides protection against the most harmful type of collisions and the occasional city pothole.

A day on the run with five! Buckling all the kids in one at a time!

Fourth: Easy to Clean

One of the best gifts I got from my husband my past birthday was a year long carwash membership. Guys, I am a mother of 5 and I don’t have “time’ to keep up with the trash and dirt that piles up in my car. Once I week, let me rephrase, at least once a week I drive through the carwash where they vacuum, wipe down, wash, and dry my car. It is the great gift I ever received and I will be asking for it again this birthday.

So the hard cleaning is done in my car. The car seat gets routinely vacuumed, what is left from me is the wipe down. I wet washcloth and I can keep the car seat looking like new. If you child requires more than mine, the Britax Emblem Convertible car seat as an easy remove cover. It makes for easy clean-up without having to remove the harness. Sweet!

 The loading process has begun, all the doors are ajar. It takes 6 trips to get this crew loaded!

Fifth: Easy and Safe Installation

So loading the car is a bit of a circus show. The two girls can load themselves in and out of the car, but the three babies cannot. I begin loading the car with our stuff while the kids stay in the house. This takes at least two trips. When I load the car with diaper bags, my purse and my phone, I open all the car doors so ventilation occurs and I can keep an eye on everyone. I keep my keys in my pocket (always on me) so I never get locked out of the house or car. I then go back in the house and pick up my 18 month old. Of all the kids, I load him first. He is a car seat in he  third row. I then tell the girls to jump in beside him and buck up.  I then run (literally run) inside the house and grab one of the twins. Each twin has their own seat so when one is crying, I know who needs my attention.  Once the first twin in loaded, I go for the last.  I load the last twin in and go back to the house looking around to make sure no one, or nothing, was forgotten. I lock up. This process takes me six, yes SIX, trips back and forth form the car. I normally follow up cranking the car with a head count. I am sure the day will come when one person is left behind. It will likely be my husband because he lacks a step in this system (chuckle!)

That being said, I need efficiently. I need car seats that can move spots. Car seats that are easy to load in and out of the car. I need easy installation. The Essentials Britax Convertible Car Seat has easy on-off LATCH connectors. You can lock lower anchors into place with a click, and easily release with the push of a button. Whew. Might be easier to do than loading my family of 5!

Diono Radian rXT Review – My opinion on the safety, comfort, and ascetic features of Diono’s Radian rXT Car Seat.

Radian rXT Review

Diono Radian rXT Review

I would like to consider myself a car seat expert. I mean, my oldest is 9 years and I feel like I have been using (or researching) car seats non-stop for the past 10 years. When it comes to baby gear, I am actually rather frugal. There are two places, however, that I invest in my purchase for my child 1.) Shoes 2.) Car Seats (everything else is purchased at consignment shops, shopping Craigslist or shopping Facebook Groups – one man’s trash, is another women’s treasure!)

Anyhoo, shoes. I would rather have a few pairs of shoes that help my growing toddlers feet (especially during those first steps) than a bunch of cheap shoes that can hurt my child’s food. When it comes to car seats, for me it is all about safety! As many of you know I have two elementary aged girls, who are now out of car seats (booster seats) – finally! The car seat law goes pretty late up here in Virginia – up to 8 years old. However, in additional to my girls, I have a young baby who is 11 months old and I have twin boys that are due in 4 months – Ahhh. That is going to put me with three young kids in car seats. And not just an easy booster seat, car seats that can support my kids, cradle them and will protect for side-impact or should a collision occur.

Since my initially search for car seats, I did not shop frugal. I shopped wisely. First of all, I took advantage of trade in events to save money. Did you know that this occurs often at Babies (Toys) R Us? I also pay attention to discounts. Sometimes during major holiday weekends (or even Black Friday) I can save a little more.  I also frequently checkout the Amazon Lightning and Daily Deals. In my latest research, safety was very important to me and being able to fit three car seats in a row (side-by-side) was incredibly important to me. After all, if the kids don’t fit in the car, then the car seat doesn’t matter.

Radian rXT Review

Diono Radian rXT Review

I recently talked to another mother of 5 and she suggest Diono Car Seats. They are easy to install; they are incredibly safe; they are comfortable; they are safety tested and highly rated – they completely covered my check list! Best of all, in most cars/vans/SUVs they can fit 3 across – meaning I can have all three kids in the same row of my minivan (yes, I became a minivan mom this summer!) I looked a lot at the website to find the perfect model for our family. Any of the Diono Radian seats will fit 3 across in most mid-size vehicles, this included the Radian rXT.

Did you know this?! Facts about the Diono Radian rXT

  • Full steel frame for unmatched safety
  • It is a three-in-one car seat
    • Comfortably seats rear-facing children from 5-45 pounds
    • Seats forward-facing children from 20-80 pounds in a 5-point harness
    • Converts to a booster for children from 50 pounds up to 120 pounds, and up to 57″ tall – proper fit in booster mode
  • Folds flat for travel and is FAA certified (wear like a back pack!)
  • Aluminum reinforced sides with energy absorbing EPS foam additional side impact protection
  • Safe Stop® energy absorbing harness
  • 12-position adjustable headrest
  • 5 shoulder and 3 buckle positions adjust for a comfortable ride
  • Rear-facing tether capability
  • Expandable sides and long seat bottom offer proper leg support
  • Low-sitting profile makes it easy for your child to board
  • Optional angled cup holder keeps drinks upright and within easy reach

I personally love the fabric. I went with a neutral style (the Essex).  The memory foam cushion is thick, comfortable, and very easy to clean.  There are optional infant body support cushions for younger children. The car seat cover is machine washable.

Radian rXT Review

Looking back, one of the bigger mistakes I made as a first time parent was buying an infant car seat and buying a toddler car seat and buying a booster… that is three car seat purchases for one child – ouch! Luckily I was able reuse a couple of the car seats, but not all of them as they either expired or both girls needed the same style car seat at the same time. The Diono Radian rXT is the only car seat you could ever need! The Diono radian rXT all-in-one car seat provides unmatched safety for your child from birth to booster – and every marvelous moment in between. With a 10 year life from the date of purchase, this car seat is well worth the investment. My wallet says thank you!

The car seat was easy to install! It is a heavier car seat so being pregnant with twins, I did need my husbands help.  This might be the only negative I had as I am a pretty independent person (wife/mom).  There are rubber bottom grips for no-slip installation. This was nice against my leather seats.

I don’t think my opinions are alone. It looks like others love the car seat as well – take a look at these rewards!

Currently the Diono website has a few of their car seats on sale (my language!) All car seats come with FREE shipping (also my language!) Tell me your favorite!

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Circus Out of this World

by Filed Under: Online Shopping, Review, Travel

Alright friends…. no not miss this opportunity – Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Circus Out of this World.

Last night the family and I made it to one of the last circus events by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey®.  I was truly grateful for the opportunity to experience this event with my kids. It is something I remember growing up and knowing that they are on their farewell tour, I wanted to get one last look. The kids were mesmerized with all the acts and animals.  Honestly, I was too – how do they do all these tricks and acts? It is mind blowing!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BSm23_qFBcY/?taken-by=frugalcouponliving

To me the most amazing act was the motorcycles in the circular cage. I think my husband was most terrified of seeing the lions and tigers in the cage.  Also incredible were the trapeze artists and it was really cool to watch the basket “ballers” on their unicycles.

I enjoyed that the kids talked about it the next day. My daughter, while reminiscing, wrote down all the animals she saw – so here is her list! A kangaroo, lions, tigers, a leopard, horses, pigs, goats, donkeys, and more. As an adult, I really loved watching the relationships the performers had. The animal trainer was a 3rd generation lion tamer. You could see how much he loved his animals. You could see as well the years of discipline the trapeze family had as well as the motorcycle drivers.  You wouldn’t believe the tricks some of the acrobats could do on these horses! I was talking to my husband on the way home, I have no idea what can compare to this show. I am truly sad to see it go as there isn’t anything out there that is the same!

In Out Of This World, audiences will be riveted by an interactive, action-packed storyline filled with space-age family fun and technology, which deepens their connection to the performers. Through the lens of a magic telescope capable of discovering the most spectacular circus stars in the galaxy, they will join the Circus Space Fleet on a heroic mission of good versus evil to bring performers back to Earth, traveling to interstellar worlds of sand, water, fire and ice.

For the first time, the show features thrill skaters in addition to unbelievable performances by gravity-defying acrobats, majestic animals and hilarious clowns. Imaginations will run wild throughout the nonstop display of artistic athleticism, with acts seamlessly transitioning from floor to air to ice, a feat never before done in Ringling Bros.

Tickets can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets, by phone at 800-745-3000, via www.ticketmaster.com, and at the Verizon Center and EagleBank Arena box offices.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Circus Out of this World

The other day my husband I were walking down the street when we spotted an elephant that looked much like the ones you saw in the circle growing up. This lead to our conversations about our own experiences of the circus growing up. We then talked about the end of an era for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey®. It was sad. We didn’t give it much though until I saw it was coming to our area!

The LEGO Batman Movie in Theaters February 10th #LEGOBatmanMovie

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

The LEGO Batman Movie

In theaters Friday, February 10 , 2017

Everything is STILL AWESOME with The LEGO Batman Movie.  This weekend my family and I had a chance to screen the latest movie.  Still filled with the same spirit and fun as The LEGO® Movie, this movie did not disappoint. My husband and I loved the wit and dry humor that picked up from years of Batman, Robin and Joker movies. We both got the pun, not having seen many Batman movies in the past.  My girls (ages 7 and 8) loved the silly and entertaining characters. They also loved the girl power displayed in the movie. Robin was a hoot and both girls just fell in love. The main focus what the battle between Batman and the Joker, but also a huge point was working together as a team or as a family.  Additionally, we loved the focus of friends are family (and of course family are friends!) Through the emotions of a selfie, the journey is deep in this Batman adventure! Ten thumbs up from this family of 5!

In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman (Will Arnett) – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s (Zach Galifianakis) hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.

In theaters Friday, February 10, 2017. See it in 3D, 2D and IMAX. This movie is  rated PG for “rude humor and some action.” The running time is 104 mins.

Cast: Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, Ralph Fiennes
Director: Chris McKay
Writers: Screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers and Jared Stern & John Whittington, story by Seth Grahame-Smith, based on LEGO Construction Toys. Batman created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger
Producers: Dan Lin, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Roy Lee
Executive Producers: Jill Wilfert, Matthew Ashton, Will Allegra, Brad Lewis
