Amelita by Court Yard Hounds Review

It is hard to do a review of a Court Yard Hounds record without mentioning the Dixie Chicks. The Dixie Chicks have sold over 30 millions records and won 13 Grammy Awards with Natalie Maines as lead vocal with sisters Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Erwin Robison. Amelita by Court Yard Hounds is the second album by the duet of the sisters. Noticeably missing from this album is the distinct voice of Maines, but that is what makes the Dixie Chicks so good and not Court Yard Hounds.

Create YOUR Story Giveaway

I first ran across this company back in the spring when we did a giveaway for the Decked Out Dad's event. I reviewed their World Adventure book which I had received for my son. He still loves the book, seeing his name all spelled out. This giveaway here we have four of their books up for grabs. And, they even have another giveaway going on for a $100 Visa Gift Card and 5 personalized books, with 1,000 runner-up prizes to go with it. Be sure to enter their Summer Reading Sweepstakes, too. That giveaway ends the end of August, this giveaway ends 8/22. (And if you want to win a personalized lunchbox... that ends 8/5.) Good luck.

I See Me Books Gift Certificate

4 Winners
ARV $42.90 each

M.O.O.N.
I See Me! publishes very high quality personalized children’s books that build self-esteem by celebrating the uniqueness of each child.

You submit their name and some personal information to the publisher and they incorporate that information into their story. As you or your child reads the book, they periodically see their name, their friend's name, their pet's name, their home town or some such and a big smile shows up on their face as the story is about them and not just another impersonal book.

If you like personalized products for your kids or just need to pick up a unique gift for a friend's child (or a relative), this would make the perfect present. You just have to plan a little to give it time to print and ship. 

Gain the Understanding You Need for a Career in Film

We have a guest post this week on acting in LA.

If you have ever wanted to hear the words, “Lights, Camera, Action!” then the International Academy of Film and Television and other such schools are exactly where you need to be to start the path to acting or cinematography. You have had this as a dream since you were a small child and now it is easier than ever to make that lifelong dream come true.

Affordable Tuition

It doesn’t matter how great the school is if you cannot afford to attend. It is important to find that balance between quality and tuition. One of the red flags of a low-quality school is low tuition. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. You want to look for an established academy that is able to give you hands-on artistic training by those who are in the industry for a fair tuition price. A bonus offered from some schools is a quick diploma program so you can get through quicker, thus saving you money in the long run.

Study Abroad

If you have always wanted to experience other cultures and incorporate the things you learn by expanding that cultural knowledge, you can choose a program that has international campuses in addition to a stateside campus based in California. You want the convenience of studying in California and the contacts you can make while studying so close to Hollywood, but it is so great to have the option of studying abroad.

Cocktails with the Whales @ Mystic

I wish I lived closer to Mystic Aquarium. They have two nights in August where you can have Cocktails with the Whales, August 2 and 16. I used to live outside Baltimore and the aquarium there used to have beluga whales and I always loved watching them. How great it would be to spend a Friday night drinking cocktails, listening to live music, and enjoying the whales. 21+, $5 in advance, $10 at the door.
