PBS Kids – Super Why & Martha Speaks – DVD Reviews
March 2, 2010 by Leave a Comment
PBS Kids is a very popular channel with my four year old daughter. It's the one channel she is constantly watching. Yes, I know watching more than 2 hours of television is bad for a kid her age but if it's PBS, who cares, right? She's learning, having fun and singing along. A lot of the times I find myself watching it along with her, especially the Super Why episodes. Never heard of Super Why? Well, it's an animated series designed to help kids ages 3 to 6 gain the critical skills that they … [Read more...]

Suave Kids Wash Them Grow Sweepstakes | Review & Giveaway!
February 19, 2010 by 2 Comments
My kids loved taking baths when they were babies but when they got older, they wanted to "feel big" and start showering as opposed to taking baths. My 4 year old loves baths but also loves the shower. She said it's an indoor rainfall. So she takes baths when she wants to play and showers when she wants some "rain". Suave Kids® has started a new campaign, Wash Them Grow, to encourage parents to turn bath time into quality family time. Suave Kids encourages parents to teach, nurture and … [Read more...]
The Penguins of Madagascar Operation: DVD Premiere – Review
February 18, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Madagascar has always been a huge hit at our house. It was actually my 4 year old's first film to see at the movies. Even though she was only about 6 months old, she enjoyed it. She didn't whine or cry so I knew she had a good time. When Madagascar 2 came out, we all went to see it as well. It's an animated movie that is fun for all ages. There's even some jokes that young kids won't get, which is fine by me. ;) So when we heard that the penguins will have their own show on … [Read more...]
This Mama Definitely NEEDS A Smartphone!
February 16, 2010 by 5 Comments
Verizon and JuiceBoxJungle sponsored me to write this post, and they asked me to talk about the ways a smart phone would affect my life as a parent and make it better. For the past year, I've been debating whether or not I should get a smartphone. With the iPhone out, I can honestly say that I am envious of all the AT&T subscribers but ONLY because they have an iPhone - not because of the service. In my area, AT&T is terrible. I've heard from many people that they either have their … [Read more...]
Euro-Pro Shark Deluxe Steam Pocket Mop (Review)
February 11, 2010 by 2 Comments
A few months ago, I was contacted by Shark to try out the new Euro-Pro Shark Deluxe Steam Pocket Mop in my home. It's an eco-friendly product that turns ordinary tap water into a powerful steam cleaner and sanitizer removing 99.99% of harmful bacteria and providing a healthier and more effective alternative to chemical cleaning. I was intrigued by the product because since I have three kids and two pets at home, I don't like using harmful chemicals to clean the floors. I've wanted a … [Read more...]
I Heart Jonas
January 29, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This past weekend, my daughter and her friends were just hanging out in her room just playing and talking until I showed them the brand new I Heart Jonas on DVD. They quickly changed their minds about just talking and wanted to watch the Jonas on the big screen. I had popcorn and soda all ready for them and they were in heaven. You see, the girls are big Jonas fans and I could understand why. The boys are pretty cute and sweet too. I know if I was their age, I would have a crush on them but … [Read more...]
LG Chocolate Touch

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine. I've been a Verizon customer for almost 2 years now. Sprint was my wireless provider for 8 years before I switched over to Verizon and I'm so glad I did the switcheroo. I can't tell you how many times my calls were dropped or the many times where I didn't have reception to make a call when I was a Sprint customer. I couldn't even use my cell phone in my own home; it was so annoying. I can … [Read more...]
The Boys Are Back | Movie Review
January 26, 2010 by 3 Comments
I received The Boys Are Back on DVD a few weeks ago but it wasn't until last night that I was able to finally view it. If you haven't seen the movie when it came out in theaters, don't fret - It comes out on DVD today so you can rent it or better yet buy the DVD because it was a great movie. In my opinion, if a movie makes you cry or even make your eyes water just a bit, then it did its job. The Boys Are Back was inspired by a true story and directed by Scott Hicks. Joe Warr, played by … [Read more...]
