Yo Gabba Gabba Clubhouse Review

- brandy3 1 Comment

Product description: Get ready to dance and sing — just say the magic words “Yo Gabba Gabba!” Come join Gabbaland characters (Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee, Plex and DJ Lance Rock) as they build an awesome clubhouse; travel through the jungle on a wild adventure; play with some silly animals and enjoy other fun outdoor activities! Featuring musical guests Erykah Badu, The Killers, Jimmy Eat World and more.

Episodes:

  • Clubhouse
  • Adventure
  • Summer
  • Animals

****This is the first Yo Gabba Gabba I was actually really interested in as an adult.   They build a clubhouse, play with animals, and mainly focus on outside play. Which is great encouragement to get kids outside during the summer. They also have great guest stars, my favorite is Jimmy Eat World. This dvd has a lot of great learning skills for kids. We really enjoyed this DVD.

Bad news

My laptop has stopped working, my harddrive has crashed or I have a virus. So my laptop will be with geeksquad for a couple days to 2 weeks. So my blog maybe empty for a couple days. I will still be checking my email periodically (from hubbys computer). I will try and pick winners and get some work done, but I don’t feel like fighting with hubby over computer.

See ya soon hopefully!

V Tech LS6325-3 Cordless Phone System

- brandy3 1 Comment

Description: The LS6325-3 from VTech features DECT 6.0 technology and a built-in answering machine with 14 minutes of record time. It makes calls on a 1.9GHz frequency, keeping other wireless devices from interfering and is Wi-Fi friendly.

****This phone system has everything and is convenient to use.  We use internet phone and our office and phone  are  upstairs, I hate having to run upstairs to get the phone all the time. With V Tech LS6325-3 you can have a phone in your bedroom, living room and Kitchen(or somewhere else). One feature I really like is the intercom system, instead of yelling to my hubby and kids,I just push a button on the side of the phone and it works as walkie talkies. The downside is its load and annoying when all 3 phones ring at the same time, so I suggest maybe turning a ringer off.

- brandy3 200 Comments

Summer is a time for gatherings and BBQ’s. There is nothing better than making an easy dinner with little mess on the grill.

Everyone cooks the favorites hamburgers, hotdogs, and steaks.  There is another great recipe Libby’s wants to share with you for the grill.

Southwestern Chicken Quesadillas

  • 1 tbs vegetable oil
  • 6 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 1⁄2 cups grated pepper jack cheese
  • 15 oz Libby’s mixed vegetables, drained
  • 6 oz grilled chicken breast strips, chopped
  • 1 fresh or bottled tomato salsa
  • Tin foil

For each quesadilla, brush oil on the tortilla and place it on a piece of tin foil and on the grill. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mixed vegetables and 2 ounces chicken on top. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and place another tortilla on top. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until cheese is melted. Carefully turn over and continue to cooked, covered, until second side is golden. Slide quesadilla onto a cutting board and cut into 6 wedges. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a total of 3 quesadillas. Serve with salsa.

It’s made with all natural ingradients and is low in fat. Whole Grain rice combines familiar taste, texture, and cooking time of white rice with the goodness of whole grains.

Comes in 6 varietys long grain, broccoli cheddar, rice chicken, taco style, sweet tomato, and  garden vegetable.

****This actually tastes like white rice, but is very plain. It’s very simple to make, but i think I would still prefer the boil in a bag rice. it’s easy and no mess to clean up. the apron is very cute and great for cooking.
