I think one of my favorite episodes of the whole collection is when the PAW Patrol had to chase down a bunch of bunnies in PAW Patrol: Pups Save a Magic Trick. When a magic trick gets messed up, the pups must collect a whole lot of bunnies around town It is fun to watch how the pups problem solve and use teamwork to round them all up.

Blue’s Clues and You! Blue’s Big Baking Show is now available on DVD! Fans can join Blue in four fun food themed episodes! It’s a sweet and delicious day at Blue’s Bakery as Josh and Blue are baking bibingka — a cake from the Philippines! Next up is a trip to Blue’s Bistro, a very fancy restaurant.

Grab the DVD from Amazon.com (affiliate link) and start the fun!

My family received a special way to celebrate the new DVD release with an amazing Blue’s Clues and You! mailer. Inside was everything we needed to throw a watch party: snacks and the DVD!

I think, what I like most about this mailer is that it gave my family a new food to try. It isn’t every day we run into Ube Crinkle Cookies (these cookies were supplied by Calajo Catering in LA).

Of course, before anyone could have a taste, I had to figure out what is Ube. For all you who are just as confused, here is what I found. Ube is a purple yam that is native to the Philippines. It isn’t a sweet potato but it has many attributes like one. It is often used in desserts or eaten with a lot of butter. The deep purple appearance is natural.

After my quick search, I opened the package and I tasted one. Absolutely delicious! And because the snack is technically a cookie, everyone in my house was willing to try them. The deep purple color was a little weird for Stormy, Before she took a bite, she sniffed the cookie. Let me be clear, she is not a dog. She must have learned this skill from our puppies.

In the end, everyone had a teste. We all loved them and wanted more! Now I need to learn how to make an Ube Crinkle Cookie and figure out where, in my town, I can find Ube.

Thankfully the internet isn’t far away and almost every recipe exists in that digital world. With just a couple of clicks I found a recipe that looks just like the ones provided in the Blue’s Clues and You! mailer. The Kitchn provides an excellent overview, ingredients, and directions to make these Ube cookies.

Cubeecraft Papercraft of Luisa from Disney’s Encanto

One of the most popular characters from Disney’s movie, Encanto (affiliate link), is Mirabel’s older sister, Luisa. Blessed with the gift of strength, she’s the strong one, she’s not nervous, she’s as strong as the Earth is. Luisa does everything she can to matter and make her family proud. She never questions anything and always does what she is asked to do. However, from her song, Surface Pressure, we know that Luisa dreams of a vacation where she can just chill and maybe ride a donkey unicorn

Personally, I like the idea of flying on a DonkeyCorn not worried about life’s pressures. She looks so happy with the confetti and pink clouds. We all need those moments

Since Luisa is such a popular character, my email has exploded with requests to make her a cubeecraft. I started with Mirabel thinking she would be the go to character,…I was so wrong. So for all you Luisa fans that have emailed me with the dire need for one epic character to be made, I have created a printable cubeecraft papercraft of Luisa.

The King’s Man Movie Review and Digital Code #Giveaway

Get ready to see the start of the Kingsman franchise in The King’s Man. Set during WWI, The King’s Man tells the exhilarating origin story of the Kingsman, the world’s very first independent intelligence agency. As a collection of history’s worst tyrants and criminal masterminds gather to plot a war to wipe out millions across the globe, one man must race against time to stop them. Add the film to your Kingsman collection on Digital February 18 and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD February 22. A copy can be purchased from Amazon.com (affiliate link)

Based on the comic book, “The Secret Service” by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, comes the the story about classy old-school spies and their ability to save the world. I received the chance to watch The King’s Man, and here is what I thought.

SPOILERS BELOW

Unlike the first two Kingsman movies, The King’s Man goes a little darker and focuses more on history and story than on action. Some of these scenes can be a bit dull, but for the most part, the entire movie is highly entertaining. We have several amazing fight scenes with swords, fun characters, and great dialog. The choreography of the fight scenes is equal to , if not better than, the previous movies and they certainly keep my attention.

The movie starts in dark times when Orlando, Duke of Oxford, loses his wife, Emily, in a sniper attack. It’s a heartbreaking scene as Emily makes him promise that their son will never see the war again. Fast-forward 12 years and we find that Orlando is creating a spy network, which is dedicated to protecting the United Kingdom, and Shola and Polly are among the recruited.

From Left to right: Shola, Orlando, Polly

The King’s Man is rated R for a reason, there are a lot of violent moments, that are not suitable for even some adults. After all this is a story of a spy network looking to prevent a war that would cause the death of millions. We often see Shola fighting off some rather crazy individuals.

From violent to crazy, the characters in The King’s Man are all very well done, but I have to admit, Rasputin is the craziest of them all. As bad guys go, he is my favorite bad guy in The King’s Man.. His fight scenes are way over the top and they are simply fun to watch. When Rasputin says, “Time to dance…on your graves,” this is not a suggestion, he begins the must epic dance fight I have seen since Jumanji 2. With swords and amazing dance moves, Rasputin turns himself into a crazy and immediate threat. He is also quite graceful, just look at his beautiful jump.

From start to finish, The King’s Man kept my attention and provided some amazing never-before-seen fight scenes. I really enjoyed the story, the character development, and the over-the-top bad guys, i.e. Rasputin. The King’s Man, by choreography alone, has earned five starts in my book and a must see for Kingsman fans.

Check out the trailer below for a quick look at the movie.
