With this set, you get the following featured Specials:
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown – This Emmy® Award-nominated special, finds the Peanuts gang outfitted in costumes, ready for trick or treating and crashing Violet’s Halloween party. Charlie Brown is in a ghost costume (with more eyeholes cut out than needed), Lucy dressed as a witch and Snoopy in a World War I flying ace costume. Linus decides to steadfastly hold vigil in the pumpkin patch as he awaits the Great Pumpkin.
It’s Magic, Charlie Brown – This bonus episode finds Snoopy putting on a show after he checks out a book on magic tricks from the library. With Marcie and Sally as his assistants, he performs many tricks (some that work and some that don’t) before an audience. The grand finale features the biggest trick of all, making Charlie Brown disappear. To everyone’s amazement, Snoopy makes him invisible but doesn’t know how to bring Charlie Brown back. Will Snoopy find a way to reverse the trick?
Charlie Brown’s All-Stars – Nominated for two Prime Time Emmys®, in this delightful special, Charlie Brown is faced with a difficult moral dilemma; should he accept brand new uniforms and give the rest of the gang a chance to be part of an official little league baseball team even if it means that due to policy, Snoopy, Lucy, Patty, Violet and Frieda must be kicked off?
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving – In this Emmy® Award-winning special, Peppermint Patty invites herself to Charlie Brown’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. Marcie and Franklin are soon added as dinner guests. Charlie Brown admits that his culinary skills are limited to “cold cereal and maybe toast.” Snoopy and Woodstock transform the ping-pong table in the backyard into a dinner table. As the guests arrive, they are each served two slices of buttered toast, some pretzel sticks, popcorn and jelly beans. Peppermint Patty is outraged at the meal and berates Charlie Brown until embarrassed and dejected, he leaves the table and goes back into the house.
The Mayflower Voyagers – In this bonus episode from the This is America, Charlie Brown series, the Peanuts kids become pilgrims sailing to the New World aboard the Mayflower and endure the first hard winter on Plymouth Plantation.
Play It Again, Charlie Brown – Nominated for an Emmy Award ®, this special focuses on Lucy’s undying and unreciprocated love for the piano playing child prodigy, Schroeder. In an effort to win Schroeder’s affection, Lucy, under Peppermint Patty’s advice, invites him to perform in a concert at an upcoming PTA meeting. Schroeder accepts and immediately begins rehearsing. Lucy, delighted with Schroeder’s acceptance, thanks Peppermint Patty. Peppermint Patty however, mentions she forgot to tell Lucy that only rock music will be featured in the program and that Schroeder won’t be able to play Beethoven. Lucy is left in anguish, knowing Schroeder will refuse to perform anything other than classical music and tries to find a way to break the news without his dropping out of the program.
A Charlie Brown Christmas – In this Emmy® and Peabody Award winning classic, Charlie Brown is upset by how commercial the Christmas holiday has become. To coax him out of his holiday blues, Lucy suggests he direct the school’s Christmas pageant and decorate a glorious tree. Charlie Brown concedes. The tree he finds however, is puny, prompting everyone to ridicule him.
It’s Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown – This bonus episode is the second Christmas-themed Peanuts episode since A Charlie Brown Christmas. Holiday preparations include Charlie Brown selling wreaths door-to-door to make extra money, Peppermint Patty sweating out an important book report and the entire crew appearing in a Christmas pageant.
It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown – Originally broadcast in 1984, this special is comprised of several clever parodies inspired by popular early ‘80s dance trends ranging from disco to break dancing as well as a series of top 40 hit songs from the era. It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown earned an Emmy® Award nomination for Outstanding Animated Program.

If you know me, then you are aware that I have a *slight* obsession with Gilmore Girls. I’ve watched the original 7 seasons through, from start to finish, over 60 times. I can recite episodes, in their entirety, while watching along. I often quote my favorite lines and use Gilmore-isms, almost daily. To say I am a fan, is an understatement.
When Netflix announced they were giving us 4 new episodes, I swear I heard the heavens open and the angels sing from above. It was the best.news.ever. I started a countdown on my Facebook page and shared a Gilmore meme each day until Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life hit Netflix on 11/25/2016. When the episodes hit the air at 2am, there I was, in my living room with my cup of coffee in hand, wearing my Luke’s t-shirt, surrounded by Pop-Tarts, Red Vines, Mallomars, Twinkies and more.
Hearing my favorite voices and seeing my favorite characters come back to life, I was glued to the TV from Winter and binged right on through to the end of Fall.
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life takes you back to the nostalgic Stars Hollow for the ultimate revival of the adored series, Gilmore Girls. The coffee-loving, fast-talking, mother and daughter duo are back just as you remembered!
Nearly ten years after the original series ended, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life begins, Lorelai still runs the Dragonfly Inn (and chugs coffee like it’s water) and Rory, now 32, has experienced some career success. As Rory works through job-related struggles and Lorelai deals with some unresolved issues of her own, Emily Gilmore has been handling the loss of her dear husband, Richard. Emily is at a major crossroads in her life, recently widowed and trying to figure out what to do next. Richard’s death forces Emily and Lorelai to finally reexamine their own fraught relationship, which hasn’t changed much since the beginning of the series.
As a diehard fan, I have to say that I loved this revival, I loved everything about it. I cried and I laughed, and I just loved it. It did leave some unanswered questions, like the original series did, however I am remaining hopeful that there will be another revival!
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life consists of 4 – 90 minute episodes, titled Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall and is available for purchase on DVD and Blu-ray on 11/28. You can preorder it below!
If you have a Gilmore Girls fan on your shopping list, I guarantee this will make the perfect gift!
If you have a young child in your home, chances are pretty good that you have heard about Trolls, the latest film from Dreamworks.
From the moment my kids saw the first trailer, they have requested to see the film, by the toys, and can we buy the movie when it comes out too??
Seriously, if you haven’t heard about this film, you are living under a rock. Do yourself a favor, scroll back to the top of this post and watch the trailer, Right.Now.
Now do you see what all of the fuss is about? Ellie has watched each of the trailers no less than 100 times each. She keeps telling me that she is Poppy, the happiest Troll, which couldn’t be more true!
Get Trolls Toys
Since the release of the film, our local Walmart has been filling up with all kinds of fun Trolls toys and Ellie has been dying to get her hands on some. While we are sure some will magically appear under our tree this Christmas, it was only right that she (and Joey) gets to experience a little magic from the film now.
Just Let Them Sing
My kids love to listen to music and they love to sing. The Trolls Rock N’ Troll Sing-Along Microphone from Walmart gives them the opportunity to listen to their favorite songs and sing along!
The microphone is a lot of fun for the kids. The love to use it to sing-along to the Trolls soundtrack on my iPhone. All they have to do it plug it into my phone, turn on my music, and the microphone becomes a speaker and allows them to sing along.
The kids have a great time playing and singing along
It’s Always Time for a Hug
Another toy Ellie has been enjoying is the Trolls Hug Time Bracelet, because, it’s always time for a hug!
This bright and colorful Trolls Hug Time Bracelet replicates the hourly tradition of “Hug Time” from the film. It features fun lights and sounds that are activated, along with the “It’s Hug Time” phrase at the press of a button! Ellie cannot get enough of hug time and I don’t mind it one bit!
You can find both of these great Trolls toys and many, many more Trolls items at Walmart! Be sure to get them in time for the holiday gift giving season!

Back in 2006, when I first met Alex, I was a single mom of 2 who never planned on getting married and just living out my life the way it was going. Needless to say, Alex changed all of that, swept me off my feet and has been the best step-father I could have ever asked for to Zack and Libby. These days, he’s just dad to them and that’s how it will always be.
One of our favorite things we like to do as a family is go to the movies. With the holidays coming up, we are excited to share the upcoming movie, Daddy’s Home. For those of you who haven’t seen the trailer yet, Daddy’s Home stars Will Ferrell as the step-father and Mark Wahlberg as the dad. Ferrell’s character strives to be the best step-dad and then things get interuppted when Wahlberg, the freeloading father, enters the picture and the two compete for the kid’s attention and affection.
We’ve seen the commercials all over TV and honestly, the entire thing is hilarious and for our family, we can really relate.
Just from the trailers, I can think of a few instances we have experienced where we have had the battle of the dads as well as the dads acting more like the kids. But then again, one of the things I love about my kids having Alex as their dad is that he is like a big kid and they all have so much fun together.
Alex at Sweet Street with a Lego Soldier
Of course, there have been times when I have had to pull the ‘mom card’ on my husband just like I do my kids, but that’s a whole other story right there. We’ll just leave it at video games vs. house work. I may have married a big kid but he makes us all happy and I’m okay with that! And after watching the trailer for Daddy’s Home, this entire, crazy family can’t wait to see it on Christmas Day!
