UglyDolls Now on Blu-Ray and DVD!

By Erin

*We were given a fun Ugly Dolls box of goodies for purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions remain our own!*

The other week we received a UglyDolls party kit to host a movie night over the weekend. So many fun things were included to make it even more special. There  was even a certificate of adoption to seal the deal that the UglyDolls were our own to love and care for now. To celebrate our new family members, we ate kettle popcorn with M&M’s and other candy while watching the movie and playing with the UglyDolls. Their uniqueness is what makes them so darn cute and loveable. You can easily host a party of your own! Just get your favorite movie snacks grab the family and enjoy (and adopt an UglyDoll of own to make it even more special ;))!

Remember PEZ? Yep! They have UglyDolls PEZ! Perfect for movie night!

I didn’t know what my niece would think of the UglyDolls since she is still so young (7 months) but she absolutely loved them! She gave Moxy a BIG hug and kiss right away. It was A-DOR-ABLE.

Giving Moxy a BIG hug, then a kiss.

The Sing-Along edition was so fun. If you have this Moxy UglyDoll it even comes with a microphone and your kids could use that to sing along with the movie and all their other UglyDoll friends!

Singing and dancing, celebrating our weirdness and uniqueness!

The Mustang & Return to Freedom

The Mustang & Return to Freedom

By Erin

*I attended a screening and visited Return to Freedom as media for purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions remain my own*

Last week thanks to Focus Features, I had the opportunity to see The Mustang and learn first-hand how Return to Freedom is helping to save and protect wild horses and mustangs. The young female filmmaker, Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre first unleashed The Mustang at Sundance 2019. Now audiences across the nation can see what all the fuss is about. You may have seen other films about the bond between humans and horses, but none like this one. It will tug at your heartstrings and have you feeling all the emotions right along with Roman and Marcus.

About the Film:

Roman (Matthias Schoenaerts), a violent convict in a rural Nevada prison who struggles to escape his violent past, is required to participate in an “outdoor maintenance” program as part of his state-mandated social rehabilitation. Spotted by a no-nonsense veteran trainer (Bruce Dern) and helped by an outgoing fellow inmate and trick rider (Jason Mitchell), Roman is accepted into the selective wild horse training section of the program, where he finds his own humanity in gentling an especially unbreakable mustang.

Director:  Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre

Writers: Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, Mona Fastvold (“The Sleepwalker”), and Brock Norman Brock (“Bronson”)

Producers: Alain Goldman

Executive Producer: Robert Redford

Cast:  Matthias Schoenaerts, Connie Britton, Bruce Dern, Jason Mitchell, Gideon Adlon and Josh Stewart

Return To Freedom

We also had the amazing opportunity to meet the folks behind Return to Freedom and the mustangs who live here. Return to Freedom provides a safe haven to about 400 wild horses and 29 burros. With ongoing federal roundups, the sanctuary fills a very important need to meet the immediate needs of rescue and sanctuary for wild horses and burros. It is also a very important venue to educate the public about America’s wild horses and burros along with solutions to protect them in viable free ranging herds for future generations.

Return to Freedom is dedicated to preserving the freedom, diversity, and habitat of America’s wild horses through advocacy, sanctuary, education, and conservation, while enriching the human spirit through direct experience with the natural world.

KoLa ( formerly known as Viggo). Born at RTF’s wild horse sanctuary in the Hart Mountain Herd. You can see him in The Mustang!

They are pioneering the way with innovative alternatives to standard wild horse management that can be applied on the range and advocates for viable solutions to prevent the removal of wild horses from their natural rangelands.

Located on 1500 acres on the Central Coast of California, as natural an environment as possible is provided for the herds to maintain the natural behaviors and social structures they knew in the wild.

Spirit who was used as inspiration & a model for DreamWorks Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron also lives at Return to Freedom.

I love that their first priority is to keep wild horses in their original family bands or naturally selected social groups, to provide for their emotional well being as well as their physical care. Wild horses are herd animals and within this herd structure, bonds are formed and education is taking place all the time. In the wild, the herd ensures survival.

If you ever get the opportunity to visit Return to Freedom, do it! Be sure to check out their website to see how you can go visit the mustangs or go on one of the safaris to see these amazing creatures running free in their natural environment! It is an amazing experience you will NEVER forget!
