Don’t Miss the Hess Toy Truck, On Sale Online November 1

Hess Truck

The Hess Truck has become a family Christmas tradition in our home. Santa has been bringing the kids Hess Toy Trucks since 2010 and they are some of the best built toys we have ever had at the house. This past weekend we had a bunch of kids over for Eva’s birthday. My nephew found the Hess Trucks and took them all out of the entertainment center to play with them. When I was putting everything away I found several parts of the trucks pulled out and pulled off. Each was an easy fix to pop back together.

With the Hess stations across the country closing there is a new way to buy the Hess Toy Truck. The Hess Toy Truck will become available for purchase on November 1, 2015 through the website www.hesstoytruck.com. Standard shipping will be free and the truck will come with five Energizer® batteries. I am very glad that this solidly built toy will continue to endure and remain a Christmas tradition in our home.

Disney, Movie

Auli’i Cravalho Cast as Title Character in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Moana

Moana and Maui

Disney’s newest female character, Moana will be having an adventure over a year from now. Native Hawaiian newcomer Auli’i Cravalho, 14, will join Dwayne Johnson in a mission of self discovery. I’m excited about this because I’m always looking for movies that feature strong female leads to share with Eva. This looks like ti will be a fun movie and I’ll be keeping an eye out for more news at it becomes available.

ABOUT THE MOVIE
Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast South Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one today knows why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”), and produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”), “Moana” sails into U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.
