Stolen Moments Afternoon

Photo-A-Day #3296

Larry Carroll is a strong Dad. You may not know his name, yet. But, I am thinking that you will. Larry was in college with me, he was a year behind me and he was a funny, friendly guy. He wrote an arts and entertainment column in our school newspaper which was often the highlight of the publication, at least for me. Always one in a baseball cap with a big wide smile. He was a guy you enjoyed being around.

On April 4th tragedy struck Larry’s family. His precious 2 1/2 year old daughter, Savannah died unexpectedly in her sleep. In this moment of heartbreak and sorrow he decided to do something about it. He started a Fundly fund in honor of “Savvy”. Larry would randomly do special little outings or things with his daughter. He called those Stolen Moments. The purpose of the Fundly fund is to provide a Stolen moment for a little girl. Give her something that he and his wife will never be able to give Savvy. Please read the Savannah’s Stolen Moments Campaign and consider donating. In the past 13 days the fund has grown to over $80,000. Larry has stated that $10,000 is for the chosen girl’s family to provide her with a very special stolen moment. anything above that is for a mandatory college fund for that chosen girl.

What an incredible response to personal tragedy.

Larry is also encouraging parents to share their special “StolenMoments with their children on Social Media. Continue reading Stolen Moments Afternoon →

Will the Rabbids Invade Your Easter Basket?

Rabbids Toys

I received some Rabbids toys to review recently and wanted to write about how they would make for some fun Easter Basket fillers or even Easter Egg fillers. Opinions are 100% my own.

I was sent two of the Rabbids two-packs and five of the blind bag figures. The two-pack sets would be a funny addition to an Easter Basket. Each of those figures make some funny noises. The toys make the noises when you pull on them, spin them or even fire an egg shooter (i.e. a chicken). They are really funny and the toys are detailed and the sounds are hilarious.

The blind bag Rabbids are little detailed figurines. There are seven of them in series 1. Out of all of the figures I have 5 of them. I’m missing the one called “sick” and the ultra rare chase figure. You can see the detail in the figures from my image above. It is hard to tell the two-pack figures from the much smaller blind bag figures. If you are looking for something to put inside your Easter Eggs then these little blind bag figures are the perfect size. If you want to just make sure you get all six of the regular figures you can pick up the special Toys R Us Exclusive 6 figure pack for $19.99.

There are a bunch more Rabbids toys available as well. More info on them below. Continue reading Will the Rabbids Invade Your Easter Basket? →
