My daughter and I recently had the opportunity to see Disney's Wizard's of Waverly Place: The Movie, Extended Edition on DVD this past weekend. It wasn't the first time she saw the movie but she was glued to the TV like it was the first time. The DVD is not out until tomorrow so my daughter was highly excited that she was one of the first few to check out the extended version of her favorite show. We love Wizards of Waverly Place on the Disney channel because we love witches, spells and … [Read more...]

EXTENDED GIVEAWAY DATE!!!!!!! Since I'm a mom of three young children, I often wonder what my kids could encounter when they're on the internet.

It's geared towards children ages 2-8 so this makes it perfect for my 4 year … [Read more...]
Disney’s Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure
December 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment
When the Disney Channel first aired Handy Manny, my kids and I were curious to see what it was all about. I don't often speak Spanish around them which I know isn't good for them but I grew up in a household where English was the number one language. I guess I got used to it. Handy Manny is a bi-lingual show about a Hispanic handyman and his animated, talking tools. The show teaches young children the beginnings of Spanish and the importance of cultural diversity. Learning Spanish while … [Read more...]
Santa Buddies: The Legend Of Santa Paws & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Choo-Choo Express | Review
December 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Every year during the holidays, I like to play Christmas music and watch holiday themed-movies to get into the spirit. I want to spread the tradition to my children so they are the same way, especially my four year old. During the past two weeks, she’s seen the same two movies almost daily. I think I know every line and so does she. The first one is Santa Buddies. Both of my daughters really enjoyed this one because they love dogs and of course, Christmas. It’s about a dog named Puppy … [Read more...]

December 7, 2009 by 1 Comment
Over the thanksgiving break, my family and I went on a movie watching frenzy. The two movies that we all loved was the Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian with Ben Stiller and Imagine That with Eddie Murphy. They were both great family movies that everyone will enjoy, especially if you’re a family that has a HUGE imagination, like ours. Imagine That is a movie full of imagination (hence the word), mishaps and fantasy. The father (Eddie Murphy) is a very busy, competitive money … [Read more...]

Sometimes You Have To Give In
November 28, 2009 by 4 Comments
I saw New Moon yesterday with my sister and my daughter. I'm not really a Twilight fan, unlike my daughter but I wanted to make her happy so I took her. Ever since she saw the previews, she's hinted to me that she really wanted to go and see it. She's a huge book reader and read the book and loved it so she is definitely a huge fan. I waited to see Twilight on DVD because I heard mixed reviews on the movie and I'm so glad I waited because it wasn't all that great. I posted about the … [Read more...]
Music Ace Deluxe | Review & Giveaway
November 24, 2009 by 32 Comments
A couple of months ago, I was sent the Music Ace Deluxe to review. I decided to review it because my daughter has been playing the violin for 2 years now and she loves it. Even though she is not a beginner violin player, she wanted to add another instrument so I thought this would be perfect. She's thinking of learning how to play the clarinet. When I was in junior high school, I played the clarinet and violin and I loved it. Music was my favorite subject. I would count the minutes until … [Read more...]

The Keurig brand has had a great reputation and it’s growing every day. Because of that, I’ve wanted one for the last few years because I’ve heard many great things about the brewer and to be honest, I’m really the only person that drinks “coffee maker” coffee since my husband is an instant coffee drinker, yuk, I know. So, whenever I made coffee in the coffee maker, I had to throw the rest away because I only wanted one cup. So, when I found out that www.Shoffee.com will be giving me one … [Read more...]
Broke-ology | A Must See Play!
November 17, 2009 by Leave a Comment
My mom and I recently went to see Broke-ology. Never heard of it? It's basically a fantastic play about a family that goes through life in the ghetto streets of Kansas City and they try to figure out what to do with their future. Drama happens here and there but they stick together as a family, no matter what. The play is directed by the same person that directed "In the Heights" (another great play), Thomas Kail. After hearing so many great things about the play, I was really excited … [Read more...]
