Book of Life DVD release and Competition details
We didn't have chance to see The Book of Life when it was released at the cinema, so we were delighted to be offered the chance to join in a home viewing party to celebrate its release on DVD on Monday 16th February.
The film is all about three friends (Manolo, Maria and Joachim) who live a town in Mexico called San Angel. I've loved reading the reviews, as apparently it's funny but also tells a tale of how important family is. We are really looking forward to watching it!
You can enter a great competition if you pop over to the website
winwithbookoflife.co.uk before 23:59 on Monday 23rd February. All terms and conditions are on that website.
There's the chance to win a BLU-RAY player, £100 worth of family DVDs AND £100 of Chiquitos restaurant vouchers. You can enter in one of three different ways; by either downloading and completing a colouring sheet, designing a costume like Manolo's or recording a character impression.
We are going to be taking part in a Twitter party from 5pm - 645pm on Monday 16th February; it'd be great if you can join us using the hashtag #BookofLife. Look out for me at @stephc007.
Disclosure: we have been sent this DVD to review and a party pack to play along with at home, but are not receiving any monetary compensation for this post.
Our book, PDA in the Family, is out now! We wrote it to help other people understand more about Pathological Demand Avoidance. It's an account of how family life has been for us since an autism diagnosis for our youngest daughter, and the subsequent lightbulb moment when we heard about PDA: PDA in the Family: Life After the Lightbulb Moment Book Launch
