Shaun the Sheep DVD Review

- brandy3

Product Description:A little pinch of zaniness and a big dash of fun is the perfect recipe for laughter as Shaun the Sheep and his barnyard buddies Bitzer, Shirley, and Timmy get into more wacky shenanigans along with those fun-loving Naughty Pigs next door. The laughs keep rising, as the creators of the Academy Award winning Wallace & Gromit are on a roll, dough-ling out more sheep-herding mayhem by the baker’s dozen.

This DVD features 6 episodes

  • Washday
  • Tooth Fairy
  • The farmers Niece
  • Snore Worn Shaun
  • Helping Hound
  • Big Top Timmy

The Bonus features are a sing along with Shaun and the Mini Making of Shaun.

**** My kids have never seen Wallace and Gromit, So they didn’t know what to expect. They liked this movie, but kept asking why no one talks. Just noises?  I didn’t really have an answer, just that they don’t talk. My daughters favorite part was when the dog and the Farmers Niece were fighting over a ball and the girl started crying.  My kids also liked the sing a long.

Why I would love to have a 42″ Vizio LCD TV

- brandy3 2 Comments

 

Having  bigger T.V., is all Jack and I talk about.  We say when we get a lot of money we will buy one, but things always come up.  Someday we will get one.

www.yourreviewelectronics.com is giving away a 42″ Vizio LCD TV. Now here is why I think my family needs one.

We have never owned a big tv, it’s always been 19 inches or less. As a family of 5, we constantly fight over volume control and how close to sit. Our Tv is small and our living room is big. 

My children love to watch movies and cartoons in the morning, but sit to close to the TV, they say they can’t see.

We would love to invite people over to watch world series, superbowl etc.

I just think that this would be a great addition to our family, and a dream come true to Jack and I as we could never afford one.

Product Description: The EatSmart Bathroom Scale is versatile, easy to use digital bathroom great for any home. Simply step on the scale and in seconds you’ll have an accurate readout on the EatSmart’s oversized 3.5″ LCD display.

Some of the features are:

  • Large 3.5″ LCD display – Easy to read from any distance

  • Max weight 330 lbs / 150 kgs
  • Sturdy tempered glass top and large 12″ x 13″ platform

*****This scale is very cute, not like regualr bath scales. It has a glass top, and touch screen design. The scale is very heavy, at least 6 or 7 lbs.  When I first used it, it would give me different readouts. It told me 160, then 158,148, and 153. It finally settled on 153. I’m kindof happy i was able to now my weight. I know I need to lose weight now, i’ve haven’t weighed this much since I was pregnant.

****My son loves these movies, very bright and colorful. My daughters tend to get a little bored with it, but they are a little older.  This is a educational movie learning new words and how to write. This would be a great gift for a small child for Valentines day.
