I am so excited that Inside Out is now out on DVD! My kids, well, who am I kidding, the whole family loved this movie when it initially came out, and we knew walking out of the theater that this would be in our movie library too. As the movie got closer and close to being released my girls had been seeing all of the amazing toys that are also out in the stores and online and they have been clamoring for them. This was especially true when it came to Joy and Anger toys. Don’t ask me why these characters specifically, but each daughter had their favorites, my oldest loved Anger and my youngest loved Joy!
Recently I took a trip to my local Walmart because I wanted to surprise my girls with some Inside Out today to celebrate the release of the Inside Out movie this week. Before going to the store, I checked out all of the amazing Inside Out toys that were on the Walmart website. I did not know what I would find in store specifically, but I was impressed with the variety that I found online.
Because I went to the store on November 3, I also decided to pick up the Inside Out movie too. My kids had no idea I was going to surprise them like this so this was going to be a ton of fun!
After I found the movie, I went to check out the toys and specifically what they had in regards to the Anger and Joy characters. In going to the store I had to search a bit to find what was there.
It took a little bit of looking around to find the TOMY toys at Walmart, but when I did I was lucky enough to find exactly what I was looking for. As mentioned, the characters of Anger and Joy were the two characters that resonated with my girls, and as luck would have it, those were the two characters that they had. So I purchased both!
As I took the movie and TOMY toys home I can tell you that the girls were ecstatic. They jumped up and down and they were so on board with having a movie night then and there! We pulled out the movie and popped some popcorn – it was as amazing watching this the second time as it was when we saw it in the movie theater!
Remember that Inside Out is now available for purchase and as you can see there are some great TOMY toys too that will truly make the movie come live, and open up the imagination of your kids too!
Be sure to pick up your copy of Inside Out at Walmart!. I’d love to hear about your DVD watch party plans!

What Is Brave Woman?
As I said in 
So when I got home (and after a bit of a resting period) I began pulling out the Christmas decorations and figuring out what I would want to put outside (outside of the items I had already purchased from Sears). As I started to pull them out and starting installing them, I found that I could really use more lights that I had initially purchased. I still moved forward, but I did wish that I could have more.
Installation of the lights was easy and I loved the handy light reel that they came on as it made for easy unraveling and I am sure it will make it that much more easy to take the lights down too. Putting together the snoopy that I purchased at Sears was also easy, though I found that I needed something heavier than the small stakes that we received in the box to hold it down in the wind that we sometimes get at our house.
As I finished hanging a wreath and some garland on the outside of my house the sun was just starting to set so I was excited to try out the lights to see how it all looked. I knew that I was a bit short on lights (at least in my perspective) but I continued with vigor and knew that it would look great. As the sun dipped below the horizon I synchronized our timers and turned on the lights and found that the lights looked quite good. I still would have liked to have had more lights, but with what I had it looked very good and the family agreed.
Christmas in our house is always one of my favorite times in the year. We love going all out in decorating inside and outside. Lately thought I have been having some challenges with our outdoor lights in regards to the fact that our lights kept going out and every year it seemed like more and more of them would show up as not working (so frustrating).
I decided to be a bit crazy and get up at the crack of dawn for black friday sales seeing that Sears had their 200 count LED lights at 50% off. Getting up at 3:30 in the morning is not what I call my cup of tea, but I did it none-the-less because I like to save money (I am a bit frugal you know).
Sears was opening their doors at 4:00 AM so I wanted to be there toward the beginning so I could be sure to receive the lights that I wanted. When I got to the store the parking lot was a bit packed, but the doors had just opened and everyone was already inside so I jumped into the craziness.
Amazingly, there was no one in the holiday shop when I got there. I think everyone had gone directly to the craftsman tools or other items, as I was left to shop in peace. The only issue was the fact that there were no carts and thus carrying 6-7 reels of lights was no fun! I looked around for a bit looking for the lights and then found that they had been placed on an endcap (right in front of the nose on my face if you were).
Seeing that I never purchased LED lights before I had to do a bit of comparison shopping as there were two types of LED lights so I had to test them both out. One was much more harsh and stark white than the other and with that in mind I decided to purchase the warm white lights as I thought they would be more similar to what we have had in the past. The only challenge that I found was figuring out how many strands I would need to purchase. I ended up purchasing 5 strands as I thought that this would be enough at the time.
At the same time I saw an animate Snoopy and Woodstock that was just too cool, so I ended up splurging and getting our first item that was animated for our outside decor, I knew that my kids would just love it when I brought it home and installed it!
I got lucky in checking out as I also purchased a jewelry armoire for my wife and thus when I was in the furniture department that were good enough to be willing to let me check out there (no line) and I did not have to wait in the line that had at least 100 people within it (how luck am I).
Overall, I was impressed with the size, breadth and depth of holiday decorations that Sears had in their Holiday Shop. I would highly recommend that if you are looking for some great holiday decorations that you take a look at Sears as one of your first stops this holiday season.
