Blogmas Day 2: Favorite Children's Characters

So on Instagram Alex's Lemonade started a challenge where you post children's characters for Childhood Cancer Awareness. The Ice Bucket challenge raised enough awareness for ALS that they actually found what causes ALS... so I'm hoping this can help cure cancer as well... especially for children because that is a lot for a child to deal with. Here is the link to Alex's lemonade. I would encourage you to help spread the word about the website. Donate if you can and if you feel comfortable with it. But yeah! Onto my favorite childhood characters!

Sully from Monster's Inc 
Monster's Inc is one of my favorite movies of all time... and it is partially because of how sweet Sully was too Boo. And he has kind of a mischievous side too... but he's just a great character. I love him! I love all the holiday Sully's that they have dressed up for the holidays. He's just so cute and cuddly. I love Sully!

Minions 
Obviously... I love minions. I just think they're cute and they're funny and I love Despicable Me and all its characters and I love Minions and that story. It's so clever that they're just creatures that go to villains. I'm currently writing this underneath a minion blanket.

Gru from Despicable Me 
I'm trying to just mention one character per movie because... let's face it... this could be a very very long list... but I can't not mention Gru! Gru is so sweet. I love Despicable Me. Gru always makes me laugh. Steve Carell is the best!

Stitch 
I don't think I can watch this movie without crying.... especially now that I have a dog and I had another dog that passed away that really really reminds me of Stitch... its a sweet movie for any pet owner and Stitch is so cute and fluffy! I love how he's so bad but then he becomes so lovable!

Rapunzel 
I really relate to Rapunzel. Idk why... she's just my Disney Princess. I saw Moana today and I love Moana as a Disney Princess/Heroine... but Rapunzel is more me. And I love Tangled. It's a really pretty movie.

The Muppets 
Idk if the Muppets count as a children's  character... because I think adults enjoy them equally. I also can't pick one because... they're better together. My favorite muppets are Statler and Waldorf and Miss Piggy... but I can't just choose them because they aren't as good without the other Muppet characters either. I just love The Muppets. Especially the Christmas Carol... so good.

Scrooge McDuck 
If you don't know who Scrooge McDuck is... I'm sorry. You need to look up Duck Tales right now! Its so good! Mickey's Christmas Carol is great too.

Miss Nelson 
This is from the book Miss Nelson is missing. My favorite book as a kid... I love Miss Nelson and Miss Viola Swamp! Great book very cute!

I know I can think of 5000 more... but these are the characters coming to mind right now that are important to my childhood... and I hope a lot of other kids have some happiness in their holidays now because of Alex's Lemonade. Any of these things would be great to get as gifts for any children in your life... and even if these aren't movies or anything specifically Christmasy... these are still movies I like to watch around christmas!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
