Tyson’s Run Movie Review & $20 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway

March 9, 2022 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy Leave a Comment

I was recently able to watch a screener video of Tyson’s Run. It’s a new movie about persistence and faith. Keep reading for my Tyson’s Run Movie Review and a giveaway!

Tyson’s Run – Movie Review

Tyson’s Run tells the story of 15 year old Tyson, who has autism. He has been homeschooled his whole life by his mother. Now, he has started to attend public school where his father coaches football. Because he wanted to learn algebra. lol He said he would go, learn algebra, and come back to teach it to mom, since she doesn’t know how to do it. lol

While helping his father at football practice, he meets champion marathon runner Aklilu, who is using the track. His life is changed forever.

Tyson becomes determined to run his first marathon, Never letting his autism hold him back. By running, Tyson hopes to win his father’s approval. He runs every chance he gets. Including leaving the house at all hours to go running. As you can imagine, that doesn’t go over well with his parents.

With the help of an unlikely friend and his parents, Tyson learns that with faith in yourself and the courage to take the first step, anything is possible.

Check out the trailer!

Tyson’s Run

Tyson’s father seems rather cold towards him. So it’s understandable that Tyson would like to win his approval.

Tyson has a bit of a rough start at public school, but soon makes friends. Friends that help him, and cheer him on while he is running his first marathon.

.

After a life threatening accident while running, his father realizes how important it is to Tyson to become a marathon runner. Then he does everything he can to help Tyson get to the marathon.

What a shock to everyone when he won his first marathon! Especially the naysayers!

Tyson’s run is an awesome family movie! There is a scene where some kids pull Tyson’s chair out from under him when he is sitting down. Causing him to fall, and his lunch tray to turn over on him. But the scene ends with a girl coming over, telling the boys to stop, and helping Tyson up. She then invites him to sit at her table, and they become good friends. So it’s a great scene to have a conversation with our kids about how to treat, and help, others.

While not based on a true story, it has the feel that it could be. I loved Tyson’s Run, and plan on buying it when it becomes available in stores.

Tyson’s Run opens in theaters on March 11! Go buy your tickets now!

Vindication Review & Pure Flix Subscription Giveaway

September 29, 2021 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 11 Comments

Do you love binge watching shows? I do! I was recently able to watch all of Vindication Season 1, an original crime drama series on Pure Flix. I loved it! Check out my review of Vindication Season 1. Now I’m back with another Vindication Review & a PureFlix subscription giveaway!

Vindication Season 2 is now out, with a new episode every Wednesday! So far, Season 2 is just as awesome as Season 1.

Vindication is not one of the usual crime drama shows you usually see. It’s a faith based show that follows Detective Travis (Todd Terry, Breaking Bad), a 15 year police veteran in a small town in Texas.

I’m not seeing an official age rating, but Vindication is suitable for teenagers and adults.

I was assigned Season 2 Episode 5 The Game of Life to tell you about. There was a lot happening in this episode, the rivalry between Precinct 2 and Precinct 1 intensifies. In the office, in the gym, and culminating in a flag football game to raise money for charity. Playing your rivals makes for an intense football game.

Detective Travis and his wife, through a series of events, take in a young man just being released from jail. They are adjusting to having a young man in the house, while the young man is adjusting to living in a house again.

Vindication Season 2 Trailer

Check out the Vindication Season 2 trailer.

Unlike past episodes, there was no case solved in this episode. It focused on character development, continuing story lines, as well as starting a new storyline. Episode 5 ends in a cliffhanger. I don’t want to spoil it for you, so I won’t tell you what it is!

I enjoyed watching this episode. It was nice to have one that focused on the main characters more, instead of a crime. Can’t wait to watch the next one and see how this cliff hanger ends!!

You can watch Vindication on PureFlix.

For more information, visit the Vindication website.

Show Me the Father Review & Giveaway

September 6, 2021 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 2 Comments

Show Me the Father is the new documentary from the Kendrick Brothers.

You may have seen some of their movies before. The Fly Wheel, Facing the Giants, War Room, Courageous, Fireproof, Overcomer. All awesome movies.

Show Me the Father is different from those great movies since it’s a documentary. The format may be different from their usual movies, but the Kendrick Brothers use this documentary to focus on the importance of fathers.

Society today tries to get us to believe that fathers are unnecessary. The Kendrick Brothers present a different perspective of the roles of fathers using interviews, old pictures, statistics, and more.

Check out the Trailer!

We all have a father story. Whether yours was the best father on the planet, the worst, or you never knew your father, and everywhere in between. We all have been affected by our fathers.

Show Me the Father has several amazing true stories that are powerful and heart warming. The Kendrick Brothers use these true stories of fathers to help us see the fatherhood of God. I had tears in my eyes several times while watching the screener. This is not your usual documentary fare. It’s very engaging and inspiring. I highly recommend you see Show Me the Father in theaters when it opens this weekend.

Show Me the Father Giveaway

Enter below to win 2 movie tickets, via Fandango, to see Show Me the Father opening weekend! Giveaway open to US residents only.

VOOKS Storybooks Brought to Life Review & Giveaway

April 28, 2021 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 4 Comments

*This post contains affiliate links

I was recently able to check out VOOKS, storybooks brought to life to review. VOOKS is a really cool streaming library of kid-safe animated storybooks. Be sure to check out the giveaway below!

VOOKS is trusted by teachers, and loved by kids around the world. It encourages independent learning, and a love of reading.

VOOKS Storybooks brought to life

VOOKS Review & Giveaway

Once you get a subscription to VOOKS, you can make profiles for your kids. This is easy, and only takes a few seconds. You put in their name – first or a chosen screen name, age, and their preferred language. You can pick from several options for a profile picture. All the options are similar in style to those you can see in the picture below. I actually like that they don’t give you the option of uploading the child’s picture.

Switching between profiles is very quick as well. The kids can do that themselves.

Once you are signed in to VOOKS, you will see a large selection of books, in different categories to choose from. The pic below is how it looks on the computer screen.

Below is a picture from my phone. When you click on a title, you can see how long the book is, what category it is in, and the age group it is best for. You can click the heart to save it for later in favorites.

Not only can they save the books that they want to read, this is useful for you to “assign” books for your child to read.

VOOKS even has lesson plans, offering discussion topics and engaging activities. They are fun, free, and printable. So whether you are a teacher, homeschool teacher, or parent looking to supplement your child’s learning, you will find them very useful. You can see some of the categories in the picture below.

If the child has to stop reading before they finish it, the next time they sign in it will tell them how much time they have remaining in the book. Then they can click on the resume button when they are ready to finish the book.

The words are displayed on the screen, with the words highlighted as the story is being read. This helps kids that are learning how to read, and also helps their vocabulary and spelling.

I have thoroughly enjoyed using VOOKS. The children in your life will enjoy it, too! It’s 100% kid-friendly and parent-approved!

Try Vooks free for 30 days! Go to VOOKS to sign up!

How to Buy the Best Hand Sanitizer

December 3, 2020 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 37 Comments

*This how to buy the best hand sanitizer post contains affiliate links

Now a days, we all need to keep sanitizer on hand all the time.

Hand Sanitizer can be expensive, and hard to find, so make sure you are buying the best one for you.

Here are some tips.

How to Buy the Best Hand Sanitizer

1.     Be Sure About Alcohol Percentage

The amount of alcohol in the hand sanitizer is critically important and the most effective hand sanitizers consist of 60-85% alcohol by volume, so be sure to check the alcohol percentage before purchasing.

2.     Check Alcohol Type

 Ethanol is proven to be more effective than isopropyl alcohol on its own against viruses. Be sure to check the type of alcohol to make sure you are purchasing the most effective hand sanitizer.

3.     Additional Ingredients

Check out the extra ingredients in the hand sanitizers as ingredients like Aloe, which is used in Smart Care hand sanitizers, help to smooth the skin upon application and reduce the dryness associated with alcohol.

4.     Proper Application is Important

In advance of application, make sure to clean all dirt and grease from your hands.  Apply a small dab of hand sanitizer to the palm of one hand, then rub your hands together. Make sure the sanitizer has dried before wiping your hands.

5.     Select a Brand with A Proven Reputation

Lastly, with the increasing number of brands on the market make sure to select a brand that has an established reputation for delivering performance and efficacy.

I recently received these Smart Care sanitizer products. Smart Care has been a leader in hand sanitizing products since 2015. They also carry some paper products, and first aid supplies. I saw some really cute disposable masks for kids, too!

These little character bottles are the best smelling hand sanitizer I’ve ever tried. If your kids won’t use hand sanitizer because of the smell, try these! There are several different licensed characters to choose from for all ages.

The antibacterial wipes are for only ages 3 and up. They are convenient to carry in your bag or purse when you don’t want to worry about liquid spilling.

The giveaway below is now over. I hope you found these tips for buying hand sanitizer helpful!

I was able to preview the new Christmas Under the Stars special featuring Lauren Daigle recently. I loved it!

Ok, I love Christmas music. And I love several of Lauren Daigle songs. So I was really looking forward to watching this special.

Lauren sings several of the Christmas songs that everyone knows and loves. She did an amazing job singing them all. My favorite was her rendition of The Little Drummer Boy.

Interspersed among the Christmas songs, Lauren shares with us. She tells us why these are her favorite songs, little stories about her Christmas memories, and just little tid bits about her life. I enjoyed listening to her stories and getting to know her a little bit.

In addition to the Christmas songs, Lauren sings a couple of her songs. I Will Rescue You, and You Say. I love those songs, so I’m glad she included them in this special.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching, and singing along, with Christmas Under the Stars. I wouldn’t have minded in the least if it was longer!
