The White Lion Film: Interview with producer Kevin Richardson

Shana had the most wonderful opportunity to interview one of the producers of the film The White Lion, Kevin Richardson. He started off by saying that he has a one year old child and training lions is much easier than keeping his little one out of things and trying to "train his kid" ;0) He shared that one of his hopes for this film is that through the story young people who feel different than everybody around them will relate to Gisani (the white lion) and have hope and dream to keep on their journey and never give up.

This film is amazing as it is not a documentary where one just films and captures the animals as they live, rather they had a distinct story they wanted told and they worked hard through motivating the lions with treats and love. As adults you will enjoy and marvel at what they are able to get the animals to do. We enjoyed being able to talk with our girls about what animals eat as they did a big "ewww" when they saw the lion first devour a carcass. We were able to make this a teachable moment that this is what lions eat and that I think the lion would say "eww" at their chicken nuggets as it doesn't look like meat anymore with all the things that have been added. There were not many graphic scenes and if you talk to your child before and during the film they should be fine.

It was great hearing Mr. Richardson speak to his passion of bio-diversity and conservation which helped motivate him for such an undertaking of producing a film like The White Lion. He wanted to show the world how difficult it is for a lion to survive the trials and tribulations of life. He said it best "Life as a lion is not easy, they don't just lie around and everyone stays away fro them because they are a lion".

Not many people can live the life that Mr. Richardson has being in such close relationship with lions but in this film he gives us such a great insight and glimpse of these magnificent animals, hearing their roars and seeing them run and play, stunning and breath-taking.

You have to watch some of the footage of Mr. Richardson with the lions, IT IS AMAZING! I am fascinated and in awe as I watch him sleeping with the lion, swimming with a lioness, absolutely stunning!

I find it remarkable that Memphis is one of the 3 cities chosen to release this film, TODAY! Click here to get the show times tonight and take your kids (especially older ones who might be dealing with feeling different and discouraged) to see this film!

I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Richardson for taking time to speak to me today it was a great pleasure and I congratulate him on a wonderful film!

How Does Cashback and Rebates Work?

.

Over the past couple of days you may have notices me post Cash Back sites at the end of retail post.  If your not familiar with these sites you may want to get familiar with before you start your online shopping for the holidays!  I was introduced last year and it's very simple!  One of my favorite is Mr Rebates.

Most shopping I do is online.  I watch for great deals or free shipping offers and then head over to Mr Rebates and search on the top left hand side to see if the store I'm ordering from is a partner.  This is a great way to earn a little money back on your ordinary purchase.


Here is a example of how this works:
Create your account HERE and you'll receive $5 instantly.
Search Gander Mountain on the top left hand search bar
You'll see Gander Mountain and Discount Codes (click the Gander Mountain, above 3% Rebate)
You should be directed to Gander Mountain Home Page
Click the Outlet button on the far right

Here is what I just put in cart:
2-Women's UV Zip Tee $4.99 each
3-Women's V Neck Tee $4.99 each
1-Boys Water Trunk $8.99
2-Women's Roll Up Shorts $9.99 each (love)

Then I entered Promo Code: GMTN5 for $5 off, Free Shipping!  Total is $48.92 for all 8 items that are top quality!!!  Plus after it's booked and shipped you'll get a notification from Mr Rebates that it went through and $1.47 will show up in your Mr Rebates account, plus the $5 that you got for signing up.  So everytime you order something make sure to check your % back and you can cash your account out and receive a check!  Just like a rebate!

Just another way to earn a little money!  Let me know if you need any help!  Put together by Amy!

When the farmer’s away, the animals will play! In this hilarious sequel to the barnyard blockbuster, Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type, good ol’ Farmer Brown has left his city-slicker brother in charge of his farm while he takes a much-needed vacation. He’s left detailed instructions on how to take care of the animals so that nothing will go wrong, including the important warning “Keep an eye on Duck. He's Trouble." But when the instructions fall into the wrong hands (or wings!), Duck takes the opportunity to do a little re-writing – with a few creative embellishments that result in madcap musical mutiny. Soon it’s pizza for the hen, bubble baths for the pig and movie night for the cow! Will the Duck be discovered as the true author? What will happen when Farmer Brown returns?
