Celebrate National Bring Your Teddy Bear To Work Day with Classic Pooh Bear!

This post was sponsored by the Role Mommy Writer's Network. All opinions are 100% my own.

When I saw that the movie Goodbye Christopher Robin is coming out this weekend, I immediately had childhood memories of my favorite Pooh bear movies, cuddling with my family on a Saturday morning and reading books and books about Pooh and his adventures! I want to see this new movie!

And when I got a classic Pooh bear this week, it was the highlight of my week and my children's week, especially my youngest son! And it was perfect timing because it is National Bring Your Teddy Bear to Work Day! Check out the video below of my son opening the box! He has been playing with it every day and loves snuggling it!

Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin and their adventures were introduced to my kids at an early age (think nursery decor!) and they will continue to hopefully LOVE Pooh! I love that we now have our very own classic Winnie the Pooh bear!

If you love Winnie the Pooh and A.A. Milne, then you will want to see GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN!

It gives a rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children's author A. A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) and his son Christopher Robin (Will Tilston), whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his mother Daphne (Margot Robbie), and his nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald), Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the books; the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on Christopher Robin, what will the cost be to the family?

Check out the trailer below:

The film premieres in select cities including New York, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Toronto and Washington DC on October 13.

TROLLS – In Theaters Friday

From the creators of Shrek comes DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls, a smart, funny and irreverent comedy about the search for happiness, and just how far some will go to get it. This hilarious film transports audiences to a colorful, wondrous world populated by the overly optimistic Trolls, who have a constant dance in their step and a song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomachs.

After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy (Kendrick), the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious curmudgeonly Branch (Timberlake) set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Together, this mismatched duo embarks on a rescue mission full of adventure and mishaps – trying to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.

Utilizing music to further the film's narrative, the Trolls soundtrack is produced by Justin Timberlake and features five original songs including songs by Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, Anna Kendrick and Gwen Stefani, in addition to a number of classic hits from the ‘60s through the ‘80s.

Starring: Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Russell Brand, Zooey Deschanel, Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, James Corden, Kunal Nayyar, Ron Funches, Icona Pop, Quvenzhané Wallis, with John Cleese and Gwen Stefani
Directed By: Mike Mitchell; Co-Director: Walt Dohrn
Produced By: Gina Shay

Celebrate Veteran's Day with #FAITHOFOURFATHERS #FLYBY

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Veterans Day is coming up next week and there is no better way to celebrate all amazing and heroic veterans than by watching this amazing movie, Faith of Our Fathers, by the studio that brought us the great movie, God's Not Dead.

About the movie:

John Paul and Wayne are two young men in search of their fathers. Problem is...their fathers have been dead for 25 years. Eddie and Steven are two young men in search of their sons...whom they've never met. In 1969, Eddie and Steven are with their squad deep in the jungle of Vietnam on a five-day mission to retrieve fallen comrades. They write letters to their wives, often mentioning their love for their sons, one, who is an infant and one yet to be born. In 1994, John Paul and Wayne go on a five day road trip to the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC to see their fathers' names. Along the way, reading those letters, they begin to get an understanding of who their fathers were and how they died. Trials and mishaps, both funny and sad, complicate the road trip for the boys. The horrors of war and the testing of faith manifest themselves for the young men in Vietnam. Ultimately, in parallel stories - 25 years apart - the fathers and sons are bound together forever.

Runtime: 96 minutes
Genre: Drama
Rating: PG-13 (for brief war violence)

Starring: Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Downes, David A.R. White, Rebecca St. James, Si Robertson, Candace Cameron Bure, Scott Whyte, and Sean McGowan.

Special Features of the DVD:
-The Heart of Faith of Our Fathers
-Honoring Father's Day
-Commemorating Memorial Day
-Si Robertson Interview
-Stephen Baldwin Interview

I really liked God's Not Dead so I really wanted to check out Faith of Our Fathers. I love a movie that has quality and a great story line without all the language, violence and junk that is in so many movies these days. I really appreciated that this was just a wholesome, well-made drama that had a great story line without having to be rated R.

Although I didn't love it as much as some of the other Christian movies that have come out lately (War Room, God's Not Dead, Fireproof), it still had a great message, made me tear up a little and is really a great movie for anyone who knows or had someone in a war or has had to travel that emotional journey having a veteran in their life.
