Ever After High Printables, Books, Activities and More!

Ever After High features the teenage children of famous fairy tale characters. For example, Apple White is the daughter of Snow white, and Raven Queen is the daughter of the Evil Queen. The episodes, books, and webisodes are based off of the Ever After High Toy line created by Mattel. Characters include Raven Queen, Apple White, Briar Beauty (Daughter of Sleeping Beauty), Madeline Hatter (Daughter of the Mad Hatter), C.A. Cupid (Daughter of Cupid), Ashlynn Ella (Daughter of Cinderella), Hunter Huntsman (Son of the Huntsman), Blondie Lockes (Daughter of Goldie Lockes), Cedar Wood (Daughter of Pinocchio), Dexter Charming (Son of Prince Charming), Lizzie Hearts (Daughter of the Queen of Hearts) and more.

These teenagers attend Ever After High where they are instructed to choose their destiny and follow in their parents footsteps. However, It doesn’t give every student a happily ever after. If the royalty teenagers follow in their parents footsteps and eventually live happily ever after, than those who have evil parents will end up imprisoned or worse doomed to be destroyed. It stands to reason that there may be a few students not happy with the destiny set before them. Will they be able to change the path before them and seek that possible Happily Ever After? Watch the TV show and the webisodes to find out.

Before watching/reading the stories of Ever After High check out the printables I found on the official Ever After High Website (no longer in existence).

About The Boxtrolls
A family event movie from the creators of “Coraline” and “ParaNorman” that introduces audiences to a new breed of family – The Boxtrolls, a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who have lovingly raised an orphaned human boy named Eggs (voiced by Isaac Hempstead-Wright) in the amazing cavernous home they’ve built beneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When the town’s villain, Archibald Snatcher (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley), comes up with a plot to get rid of the Boxtrolls, Eggs decides to venture above ground, “into the light,” where he meets and teams up with fabulously feisty Winnie (Elle Fanning). Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs’ family.

Directors: Anthony Staachi and Graham Annable
Writer: Based on the novel Here Be Monsters by Alan Snow
Voice Cast: Ben Kingsley, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Elle Fanning, Jared Harris, Toni Collette, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade, Tracy Morgan

A Foolproof Recipe to make Homemade Mayonnaise

My family and I used to love to put mayonnaise on our sandwiches and inside my famous potato salad. However, since I have discovered what mayonnaise is when bought from the grocery store (basically a GMO mess), we gave it up and learned to live without the yummy flavor of Mayo. It has been a rough road to say the least.

Recently, I have started making many of my foods by hand and limiting the pre-made foods one can find at the supermarket. With our foods being pumped full of Aluminum, aspartame and other ingredients to make them last longer, I decided it was time to go the homemade and more healthy route.

One night I was making a potato salad with sour cream instead of mayonnaise and I was asked if I could make homemade mayonnaise. I said sure why not. I mean how hard could it be right?

It turns out, Mayonnaise is a science all in itself. After several failures, I was just about to give up on ever introducing mayo back into my family’s life. That is, until I came across a blog claiming to have a FOOLPROOF HOMEMADE MAYO recipe. In one last desire to make a delicious mayo, I clicked the blog link and began to read the ingredients and instructions.

The first question that popped into my mind was…Could it be that simple? With the mentality that this was too good to be true, I nearly closed the window. But toward the bottom of the post was an animated gif of the process and how it looked.

Ok, I decided to try it.

I quickly found all the required ingredients and items
1 egg
2 tsp white vinegar
1 pinch of salt
1 cup of Extra Light flavor Olive oil
1 mason jar
1 immersion blender
Step 1 What you need

Like the instruction stated, I placed the egg in the mason jar and added the salt and vinegar
Step 2 Egg in the Jar
I then added the 1 cup of oil and let the egg come to a rest at the bottom of the jar
Step 3 All the ingredients in the jar
Once everything was settled, I pushed my immersion blender to the bottom of the mason jar and blended the ingredients for 20 seconds without moving the blender. After the 20 seconds I moved my blender up to incorporate the rest of the oil. What came out of 25 seconds of blending is nothing short of a miracle. I watched as the egg and oil transformed into a creamy and tasty mayonnaise.
Step 4 Mayonnaise Completed

Immediately I grabbed a tasting spoon and savored the delicious mayonnaise. It was perfect. I can honestly say that this recipe is foolproof.

And who made this foolproof recipe and should be lifted as a recipe genius? Her name is Sonia over at The Healthy Foodie
the healthy Foodie

Click the picture above to get this mayo recipe and see all her wonderful pictures on how to make this Mayonnaise. The animated gif is at the bottom of her post is well worth the watch. It made me want to try this recipe and I am so very glad I did.

I will be adding other ingredients to the mayonnaise, like a tart relish to go on a cheeseburger, or some peppers to add a nice kick. There are so many possibilities now that I can make mayonnaise. However, the first thing I made after my Mayonnaise came out so sublime was my famous potato salad. Let’s just say I have a very happy family.

Earth to Echo Transports to Theaters July 2, 2014

Earth to Echo
Earth to Echo is opening in theaters nationwide on July 2, 2014. It features four friends (Alex, Munch, Tuck and Emma) who find a small cute alien. In this found footage adventure, the kids race against time to save Echo and get him home.

Story:

    In Relativity’s PG summer family adventure movie, Tuck, Munch and Alex are a trio of inseparable friends whose lives are about to change. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys begin receiving a strange series of signals on their phones.

    Convinced something bigger is going on, they team up with another school friend, Emma, and set out to look for the source of their phone signals. What they discover is something beyond their wildest imaginations: a small alien who has become stranded on Earth. In need of their help, the four friends come together to protect the alien and help him find his way home. This journey, full of wonder and adventure, is their story, and their secret. (Call Him Echo)

See the Trailer Here:

From what I have seen in the trailers and what I have read, this story will be a cross between E.T., Transformers, and Super 8 with a little Batteries Not Included flare. While there are several naysayers out there who think that this type of movie has been overly done, I am not one of them and I am fairly excited to see Earth to Echo. I have to admit that the main reason I want to see this film is because of the cute little Alien. I mean look at that face:
