In March, Alex, Alexander, Ellie, and I spent one Friday afternoon in a movie theater filled with other parents and kids, eating popcorn and sipping sodas. Our reason for being there….to see Dr. Suess’ The Lorax on the big screen.
Everyone loved it.
Ellie was in an trance watching it this time around. (She was just over 3 months the first time so she slept through most of it). All of the bright colors captivated her and she couldn’t take her eyes off the tv.
Not only did we love this movie, it really taught our little Alexander all about the environment and recycling!
The DR. SEUSS’ THE LORAX Blu-ray™ 3D Combo Pack also includes three brand new mini-movies including:
Serenade – Two Bar-ba-loots — one love shy and the other suave and confident — battle for the heart of their would-be sweetheart with the help of a colorful cast of characters, including the Humming-Fish and Swomme-Swans.
Wagon-Ho – Two Bar-ba-loots take The Once-ler’s wagon on a ride they won’t soon forget.
Forces of Nature – Determined to scare The Once-ler out of Truffula Valley, The Lorax decides to create the illusion of ominous forces of nature.
You can catch a sneak peek of the movie and the mini-movies below!

Disclosure: I received a review copy at no cost to me in order to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Last month, I traveled to Chicago for the Verizon Wireless Midwest Savvy Moms Kickoff Event in addition to attending the SocialRevUp Brands & Bloggers conference. Since I was travelling with the adorable Miss Ellie this year, I had to take along someone to assist with her care when I had certain things to attend. When I was presented with this opportunity, Zack jumped at the chance to accompany me and assist me with the little one.
In exchange for his assistance in Chicago that weekend, I have been letting him use my new Samsung Galaxy SIII on the Verizon network now that Packer Training Camp is in full swing.
Now that he has been using the phone for the last few weeks as he attends Packer practice, I have asked him to share his views on the phone with me.
Zack is in LOVE with the quality of photos that the 8.0 megapixel rear camera produces. He has been taking it to Packers training camp to capture some pictures of some of our boys in the green and yellow. All of the pictures in this collage were taken with the Galaxy SIII and they have not been edited at all!
We have also been using the phone to capture some great videos. The Galaxy SIII camcorder function offers a 1080p HD video capture but there will be more on that later!
So from a teenagers perspective, this phone delivers. It offers a great camera and camcorder in addition to some super fast internet connections!
Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Wireless Midwest Savvy Moms program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.
