Red Rover is a memory-matching game combined with run-around play. It features an adorable electronic talking dog and 12 bones with color and number, shape, or letter. The object of the game is to collect the most bones. The game is set up by placing the 12 bones randomly around a space. The game starts when preschoolers press the Red Rover nose and he calls out which bones he wants. Preschoolers run to find the right bone and feed it to Rover, if they’re right, they keep the bone, if they’re wrong, Red Rover encourages them to go back and find the right one. Whoever helps Rover the fastest, wins.
****This game is great for preschoolers. It gets them up and moving and having fun. Plus its a good memory, color and number game. Red Rover calls out a color or number and the kids need to go find the correct bone and feed it to Rover. who ever gets the most bones wins. My kids had a blast playing this game, and my son even learned some more colors. This is a fun get up and play game.

The Hub Network has announced that they will feature the Taylor Swift Fearless Tour On the Hub. The announcement was made by Margaret Loesch, President & CEO of The Hub, and Stephen Davis, President of Hasbro Studios.
Swift, a four-time Grammy Award winner and the top-selling digital artist in music history, has had singles top both the country and pop radio charts, as well as the #1 best-selling album in any genre of music in 2009. This year, at the age of 20, she became the youngest artist in history to win the music industry’s highest honor, the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Also at the 2010 Grammys, she took home the awards for Country Album of the Year, Best Country Song and Best Country Female Vocal Performance. Her 6x-Platinum FEARLESS album is the most awarded album in country music history. She will release her third studio album, SPEAK NOW, on Oct. 25.
The special will be a 3 day premiere
October 22, 7 p.m. ET-In an impactful opening hour, Swift provides the narrative, home movies and personal photos that chronicle her path from childhood dreams to superstar, culminating with the release of her phenomenally successful FEARLESS album. Swift recounts how her dedication to music and a move to Nashville brought her true happiness.
October 23, 7 p.m. ET-As Swift’s star rises and transcends musical genres, making her a genuine crossover artist, viewers will watch as she starts laying out the plans for the FEARLESS Tour with a very behind-the-scenes look. Other highlights include intimate fan moments and a tribute to her mom.
October 24, 7 p.m. ET-In her life and now on stage, Swift personifies FEARLESS. The final hour of the three-part series of specials highlights the sold out tour’s success. Viewers get Swift’s video diaries as she takes the tour all over the world and to its grand finale at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.
My kids and I love Taylor Swift, and we will definitely be watching this and singing and dancing a long. Since the Hub launched on 10-10-10 my kids have been watching and really enjoy all the shows, their favorites are of course Strawberry Shortcake, and My Little Pony.

****This Barbie and Ken set is so fun according to my daughters. Although we haven’t seen Toy Story we’ve seen clips and trailers, Barbie and Ken are so funny. It’s the perfect toy for any girl. My daughter loves that Barbie can kiss Ken and it even leaves a kiss mark on his cheek. Barbie even comes with a gym bag and towel.

The fun really starts to stack up as you create layer after layer of fun and fabulous Play-Doh modeling compound “cake” creations. Use the molds to create layers for your pretend “cakes” and then load up your cake makin station tool to add all kinds of amazing decorations on top. Use your “frosting” tool to add “frosting” to the top of each “cake”. When you’re done with your “bakery” masterpiece, set it on the plate accessory to “serve” to your friends so you can celebrate.
****My Kids love Play Doh, I hate the mess they make but it fun and helps them learn how to sculpt and be creative. My daughter made me a Play Doh cake for my birthday and it was so adorable. I always let someone borrow my camera when there is cute moments, dang. The one thing I hate about this set is the Play Doh got mixed up, and to me it ruins the Play Doh. My kids didn’t mind though, they were having so much fun, they cried when I had to put it away.
This would be a great addition to any childs Christmas list.

I don’t write to much about myself, I am not really sure why but today I will
My name is Brandy Walleshauser
Favorite color is Purple and Black, even though i consider black a shade.
Favorite Movie: The Nightmare Before Christmas is My favorite, but I love anything by Tim Burton.
Favorite Holiday: Holloween
What were you like as a teen: I was a loaner in high school, and was bullied because I wore black all the time (kind of gothic) and was low income.
What are you like now: I am still kind of a loaner I don’t have to many friends, but have faded away from the whole black everything phase. Now that I am a mom my life is revolved around my kids.
What did you want to be: I wanted to be a mortician, but my feelings on that changed after I started having a family.
did you attend college: No I attended Beauty school for a year, but did not get to finish. I had my first child and my husband was deployed, so i thought it was best to drop out.
Thats all i can think of right now, as you can tell i don’t get out much. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

**** I have had no luck with proactiv so far, It works for the first couple weeks, but I always seem to get huge pimples when I use it. I stille keep trying Proactiv hoping it will change. I was able to ry out the Makeup removing cloths and the medicated blemish stick. The medicated blemish stick I loved. It helped make the red disappear, so my face doesn’t look so blotchy.
