Sing A Long with Barbie Review

February 10, 2010May 25, 2014 - brandy3

Growing up I was a Barbie fanatic, I had every car, doll and accessory imaginable. I loved the show Gem, but I never really got into Barbie dvds until my daughter took an interest. Now my daughters have tons of barbies, and almost every movie. Including the new Sing A Long With Barbie dvd we just received.

This DVD has all your favorite songs from the Barbie movies. I think it would have been a little better to have Barbie up on-screen like doing karaoke with you. It is mainly the scenes from each movie with the song.

The songs on the dvd are:

Connected (Barbie and the Diamond Castle)
Making my Way (Barbie and the Three Musketeers)
All For One (Barbie and the Three Musketeers)
Were Gonna find It (Barbie and the Diamond castle)
Here on My Island (Barbie as the Island Princess)
I need to Know (Barbie and as Island Princess)
Right Here in My Arms Reunion (Barbie as the Island Princess)
I am A Girl Like You (Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper)
The Cats Meow (Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper)
We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Barbie in A Christmas carol)
Chuzzlewit Jingle Bells (Barbie in A Christmas Carol)
Shine (Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses)

This dvd also contains two music videos( Connected, and All for One).

My daughters love this movie, they danced around and sang watching this dvd. They Both love Here on My Island and Connected, my favorite song would be Right Here in My Arms Reunion. The words are diplayed on screen for children to follow along, my kids don’t know how to read that though.This is a perfect Valentine Day Gift for any little girl!

Release date: 1/5/10

Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta

February 10, 2010February 9, 2010 - brandy3 3 Comments

Ronzoni Smart taste Pasta contains three times the fiberof regular white pasta and the same amount of calcium as a 8 oz glass of milk, is now an excellent source of vitamin D. It looks and taste like traditional pasta, your kids won’t know the difference.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics only about 30% of boys and 10% of girls between the ages of 12 and 19 meet their daily calcium requirements. Children between the ages of 3-5 get less than 60% get enough calcium. Ages 6-11 40% for boys and 30% for girls.

Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta contains 100 IU of vitamin D per serving. It’s a great source of vitamin D, fiber, and calcium, but it is also lower in calories and fat than traditional white Pasta and contains no sodium, preservatives, or cholesterol. For more information and recipes visit www.RonzoniSmartTaste.com

***My kids could not tell the difference in the pasta and they loved it. Spaghetti is one of my childrens favorite foods, so knowing it healthy for them makes it that much better. The spaghetti noodles are thin and it only comes in a 14 oz box.

Ronzoni is available in all grocer retail stores

Sizes:Spaghetti, thin spaghetti, penne rigate, rotini, extra wide noodle, angel hair, and elbows.

retail price:$1.69

Have Family Time With A Puzzle

February 9, 2010 - brandy3

January 29 was National Puzzle day, bringing the family together around a good puzzle. Puzzles are a great past time, and have been around for a long time. Here are some great reasons you should choose a puzzle for your next family night.(it’s educational)

puzzling is a challenging and thought-provoking activity.
Puzzles are a great way to reinforce concentration and reasoning skills, while also promoting teamwork.
(For adults) puzzles might help reduce stress and provide some “exercise” for the brain.
(For Kids) educational and enjoyable experience that promotes social interaction.

National Puzzle Day has teamed up with Hasbro to bring you inexpensive family fun. Hasbro has a variety of puzzles for kids and adults, including their Yankee Candle Scented Puzzles. The 300-piece puzzles feature scenes of apple orchards infused with a scent of MacIntosh apples, a children’s tea party accompanied by the alluring fragrance of Clean Cotton and a scenic seaside town with the intriguing smell of Sage & Citrus. These familiar Yankee Candle fragrances are subtly released while solving the puzzles.

For the kids try cannister puzzles. They are larger puzzles pieces with toy figures of Littlest Pet shop and Transformers. Time For us puzzles have both big pieces and little pieces, so you can do a puzzle with your little one.

***I received a Yankee Candle, President Obama, and Map game puzzle to enjoy with my family. It’s short-lived fun, because once the puzzle is done you really don’t have much else to do(unless you have more puzzles). It’s a lot of fun though, and great learning for the kids, makes them think.

Please visit www.hasbro.com for more information, puzzles range in price from $2.99-$14.99

My top 10 travel tips for distraction free fun

February 9, 2010 - brandy3 3 Comments

Now when i think of a distraction free vacation, I think of a acyual vacation, not exactly the road trip.

1. Booking your vacation at a family friendly place- it’s hard to be distraction free when you go to a place not kid friendly, or boring to some people.

2. No computers, internet, twitter etc.- your there to spend time with your family not your friends on the internet.

3.Turn the phone off-yes you should bring a phone for emergencys, but turn it off and have fun with the family.

4.bring coloring books/dvd player-this is for the car ride only! there is nothing worse then riding in a car with screaming kids. so bring item to keep them intertained.

5.just have fun don’t plan everything to the minute- you’ll get to distracted with making sure your doing everything on your list, just have fun.

6.No T.V.-if you book a hotel they usually have free cable. Leave the T.V. off, to distracting. Unless you plan a family friendly movie together before bedtime.

7.For bloggers- Do not blog or tweet while your on vacation. if you are absent a couple days your readers will not leave you. blogging/twitter is not more important thsn family. (exception is if your on a paid blogging trip)

8.After a activity ask your family how they liked it, pros, cons. That way you can plan the next days activities based on what they liked.

9.pack a cooler, book a hotel with mini fridge- eating out is great but exspensive and little kids can get antsy, try packing sandwiches, juice boxes etc.

10. Be prepared to stop-Potty training diaper changes, be prepared to stop every couple hours to tend to your childrens needs.
