Another live-action Disney film is ready for releasing! The Lion King will be available Digital 10/11 and Physical 10/22! This is another one that we cannot wait to see! I remember being in 5th grade and I had the soundtrack on cassette tape! We played it so many times and my teacher would even let us listen to it during busy work time.
In-home audiences will feel the love as they trek behind the scenes and to the African savanna through “The Journey to ‘The Lion King,’” a three-part documentary that explores the film’s creation. It features visits to the Playa Vista production facility where talent, including Donald Glover (voice of Simba) honor and elevate the animated classic’s iconic music; discussions with Favreau and team who used cutting-edge technology to create photorealistic animals and environments; and filmmaker and cast reflections on the timeless tale that has moved generations. Extras also include “More to Be Scene,” layer-by-layer progressions of some of the film’s most iconic moments; lyric video for “Never Too Late” by Elton John and music video for “Spirit” by Beyoncé; sing-alongs to the film’s unforgettable songs; and a feature on the “Protect the Pride” campaign, which focuses on protecting and revitalizing the lion population.
2 lucky readers will each win a digital download code so they can enjoy The Lion King from the comfort of their own home. Simply fill out the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win!

Hair scrunchies are back and popular. I’ve seen articles this week where in middle school, girls are collecting scrunchies and giving one of theirs to the boy(s) that they like. Sounds fun! If you’re missing some of your hair scrunchies, it’s possible this is where they are going. Never fear, though, we have a deal on hair scrunchies!
Right now, Amazon has a good deal on a huge lot of 50 velvet scrunchies. This is more than enough for your daughter and her friends to share. Wonderful price, too!

We had a great weekend. Our church went up to Ridge Haven in North Carolina for a family retreat. It was such a wonderful time and we are so glad we went. I’m also so glad we have a little bit cooler weather now. While summer was being so hot, we spent a lot of time at the pool or running around with friends, which caused the kids to eat pretty much everything in the house. Hopefully the cooler temps help to get the grocery budget back down with soups!
Monday: Get Methylating Soup, cheese toast
Tuesday: Fettuccini alfredo with chicken and broccoli
Wednesday: Chicken and veggies
Thursday: Dill Pickle Soup
Friday: Burgers, broccoli
Saturday: Grilled cheese, fruit
Sunday: Black bean soup

It’s Monday again and it’s going to be a great week! We are going to spend some time with our church friends this weekend and going to spend some time at the pool today before it closes for the year. It looks like this weekend, we will finally see cooler weather here in Georgia. These 90s are getting nuts! Yesterday was super hot and we spent the day out at Washington Farms after church. They had a special for teachers and first responder families. So thankful we were able to go!
Thanks for everyone that emailed about our new addition, Teddy. He is doing very well and we are happy to have him! I think he is enjoying having so many kids to play with, too.
