Barney Please and Thank You Review

December 31, 2009

Synopsis(from dvd case): When Baby bop forgets to say “please” and “thank you”, Barney realizes it’s time for a lesson on how magic words can make other people feel good inside. As Baby Bop daydreams about a world without good manners, she realizes that being polite is not only important but it’s easy to do after all.

There are three episodes on this dvd:

Magic Words
Tea-riffic Manners
Caring Hearts

This DVD includes 20 songs like Good Manners, Please and Thank you, Being Together, and clean up.

Bonus features:

Baby Bop’s tea party games
cakes, cups and colors
alphabet cookies

****I’m not really a big fan of Barney and never have been. I caught my kids watching it the other day when I came home, and I was surprised at how much they enjoyed watching it. This DVD features some great lessons on manners caring and sharing. I love how they talk about Manners. My kids are learning from this as they have been a bit selfish lately. This is a great movie for preschoolers.

Release Date:1/5/10

Retail(srp):$14.98

Running Time:65 minutes long

Simplify My Life Sweepstakes with HP and Windows 7

December 29, 2009

HP Mini 110 by Studio Tord Boontje - front open by HP_PC. //

I fought with my husband for 2 years over the computer, finally just a few months ago my grandmother(85) was so generous to by my a Dell laptop. No more fighting to blog. Yeah right, like that would happen. My husband is a college student and a laptop is now required in some classes. So i have been giving up my laptop for him. We could buy him his own, but we have 3 kids and no job, so that won’t happen.

I am hoping to win a Hp mini110 by studio Tord Boontje, to help simplify my life. No more fighting with hubby over the computer. Plus I am a mother of three, all under the age of 5 years. I always put my children over blogging, tweeting, anything having to do with the computer. One of the reasons a laptop came in handy, i can follow my kids around with my computer. the bad side is my computer is big and very heavy. Having a HP mini would make my everyday life so much simpler.

**If hubby gets deployed a 3rd time he can take it with him.

Ideas for Projects and More with Fed Ex Office

December 28, 2009

There is a lot going on with the holidays, but I still tend to get bored from time to time. I have a stack of holiday photos i just took, that need to be placed in albums/scrapbooks, plus getting started on thank you notes. Mom Central let me know about a great new blog, started by Fed Ex. The FedEx Out Of Office Blog features great ideas and tips for invitations, rainy day activities, turning your childs art into a notebook or card, plus more. The blog is adding new features every month. In december they are featuring great Christmas ideas and planning party tips. Future content will have videos, guest bloggers, giveaways, so check it out often.

This site is really cool, they have some wonderful tips. I’m working on turning my childs art projects into cards and more. Since my daughter started preschool, i have been swarming in pictures. So this is a great way to make thank you cards and let everyone know how she is doing in school. Plus another great idea is to laminate all the art projects and make them into a book. Keepsakes kind of to look back on as sh grows.

For great tips and Ideas check out The FedEx Out Of Office Blog

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of FedEx Office. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

The Dog Who Saved Christmas Review

December 27, 2009

Product Description: The Bannister family’s new addition, Zeus (Mario Lopez) a former K-9 police hero, appears to be less than the dependable guard dog the family needs. However, when two burglars set out to break into the Bannister’s home while they’re away for Christmas, Zeus seizes the chance to be a hero, proving every dog – even this one – has his day.

****This movie was kind of predictable. It’s a cute movie, and my children really enjoyed it. I thought it was a lot like Home Alone, just with a dog instead of a child. Family goes away, burglars plan to strike, dog saves the day. The big difference in this movie though is no one thought the dog was a good guard dog.
