Spookley is the national spokesperson for National Bully Prevention Month. Spookley presents an easily understood format that delivers a message to young children on tolerance and the importance of being kind. The movie has been one of our favorite October movies. Not only are the characters adorable, and the story is not only fun, but has an important message attached. 



Everybody’s favorite square pumpkin is now the “Pick of the Patch” this Halloween season. For the first time ever, SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN can be yours to own in High Definition – available in a new Blu-ray Combo pack and on Digital HD from Cinedigm. 

SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN, written and created by Joe Troiano, tells the story of a square pumpkin living in a round pumpkin patch on Holiday Hill Farm. Although Spookley initially faces ridicule from his fellow patch-mates, he goes on to save the day during a terrible storm. As a result, all the pumpkins in the patch learn that the things that make you different make you special.

The animated television special, based on the bestselling Spookley book series, has been a long time Halloween tradition for families, and will once again be broadcast this October on Disney Junior.



This year, Spookley the Square Pumpkin also returns as the "Official Spokes-Pumpkin" of National Bullying Prevention Month through a partnership with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. PACER, a non-profit organization based in Minneapolis, provides innovative resources for students, parents, educators, and others, and recognizes bullying as a serious community issue that impacts education, physical and emotional health, and the safety and well-being of students.  For more information on Spookley’s activities with PACER, visit: www.PACER.org/Bullying/

PROGRAM SYNOPSIS
In a world where the only good pumpkins are round pumpkins, Spookley is teased because of his square shape. Shunned by the other pumpkins, Spookley is befriended by Edgar, Allan and Poe, three hilarious spiders, who convince him that, square or not, he has a right to be the Pick of the Patch. But Big Tom and Little Tom, the pumpkin bullies in the patch, continue to tease and taunt Spookley. Encouraged by kindly Jack Scarecrow and his bat sidekicks, Boris and Bella, Spookley tries his best, but he isn’t sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens Holiday Hill Farm. When the storm blows the round pumpkins across the patch towards the raging river, Spookley realizes it is up to him and his square shape to save the day.

Lunch Box Must Haves HTML


Last week was National School Lunch Week (October 9-13). To celebrate, I've compiled a quick list of must have lunch box items that both children and parents will love, plus, you can enter to win a prize pack featuring some of these great brands for your little scholar's school lunch box. 


This post and giveaway has been sponsored by the brands listed below. 
My children love Aquaball water beverages. Not only do they come in great flavors like fruit punch, grape, strawberry lemonade, and berry, but they are naturally flavored and have zero sugar. Children will also love seeing their favorite Disney and Marvel characters on the bottles. We purchase cases of Aquaball all the time for playdates, kid parties, and even Easter baskets. It's a refreshing beverage with flavors your children will enjoy, and you can feel refreshed that your children are staying hydrated without all the artificial flavoring, colors, or high sugar drinks. Not only are these the perfect size for lunch boxes, but they are also great for small coolers to take to sports games. 


Welch's recently came out with fruit rolls. They are strips of rolled fruit and are loved by my children. They currently come in strawberry, berry, and tropical punch flavors. The tropical punch is my personal favorite, but they are all delicious. Each flavor is made with real fruit, natural colors and flavors, and are gluten free. They also happen to be a great source of vitamins C, A, and E. They have a natural sweetness to them, and fun to eat. 




Speaking of snacks with a natural sweetness, Go Organically Fruit Snacks are 100% organic and made with real fruit. Go Organicaly Fruit Snacks come in fruit medley, mixed berry, and my personal favorite: tropical. My children love fruit snacks, and we have tried a variety of them through the years. Typically I hate fruit snacks and think they are gross, but these ones I love myself, so if I like them, I have no problem giving them to my children. Go Organically is also gluten free, and a good source of Vitamin C with no preservatives. 



Popcorn has always been a healthier alternative to greasy, sodium drenched potato chips. The Little Kernel Mini Popcorn is not only healthy and delicious, it's adorable! These bags of mini popcorn come in flavors like white cheddar, truffle sea salt, pink Himalayan salt, sweet and salty, naked, and butter. Popped in 100% olive oil, these tiny snacks are going to be a huge hit with the kiddos.
