Happy Holidays WordFriends Review

Frozen Turkey

This DVD features two episodes:

The Christmas Star: It’s the night before Christmas and FROG needs a star to hang on his Christmas tree. DUCK thinks this will be the perfect present for FROG, and tries to lasso one out of the sky for him. Try as he might, DUCK is unable to catch a star fro FROG, and cries himself to sleep. But while he sleeps, someone leaves him a wonderful present: the letters S-T-A-R…

A Christmas Present for DOG: It’s Christmas morning, and all the WordFriends are excited by the presents Santa has brought for them! PIG has a sled, BEAR has a doll, and ant has a cookie. But not all the letters for DOG’s present came down his chimney. All he has is a B-A-L. BEAR gets filled with the Christmas spirit and makes a sacrifice to ensure DOG’s Christmas will be merry!

**** this movie is geared more towards infants I think. my 3.4 yr old were kind of bored with it. My 23 month old enjoyed it though.  This movie is very helpful with my son learning to talk. This would be a great stocking stuffer for a 1 yr old

Ultimate Party Meatballs

I don’t really cook around the holidays, we usually go to our family’s house. This year i’m doing everything myself and we are having dinner here. I’m searching for holiday recipes to help me, since I am not a great cook.

Mom Central recently introduced me to a great holiday recipe, the Ultimate Party Meatballs recipe. It’s very simple with three ingredients and can be cooked on the stove or in a slowcooker.

 

 

 

The recipe is…

  • 1 14-ounce can Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce
  • 1 12-ounce bottle Heinz Chili Sauce
  • 1 2-pound bag frozen, pre-cooked, cocktail-size meatballs

Combine sauces in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Add meatballs. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally.

With Slow cooker: Place meatballs in a slow cooker. Combine sauces and pour over meatballs. Cover and cook 4 hours on HIGH.

Makes about 30 appetizer servings

***I was really nervous to try this, because I am such a picky eater. They were really delicious though. We used them for dinner and made meatball subs.  You can bet we will be making this recipe more.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Heinz and Ocean Spray and received the ingredients necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

Black Friday Shopping

Black friday is coming up “biggest shopping day of the year” and I’m not really that interested. Yes there are some good deals and I will be going to one store at least.

I care about the clothes and toys, not the electronics like a lot of people. for example: Walmart will have childrens pajamas for $3 and hoodies for $3 that is worth it enough for me to go. I don’t think i’ll have to fight a crowd for that.  I would like to go early just to make sure i get the right sizes.

You can check out the Walmart ad in todays paper or search black friday and tons of sites will have all the ads.

So here is a question for you! Are you going to go shopping Friday? Or even fight the crowds

Moving picture books on DVD(giveaway)

I recently was able to introduce my children to www.movingpicturbooks.com through Momselect. This is picture books on DVD. see a preview below

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msFZUqKCb20]

***My children really enjoyed this DVD, they were hoping on the bed just like Monkeys, laughing and giggling. My oldest even read along with the DVD, her favorite story was Eight Silly Monkeys. This DVD reads the stories in English and Spanish. That was the one thing my children disliked, they lost interest in the Spanish versions because they don’t know spanish. To get to the next story you have to sit through it.

The three stories featured on this DVD are:

Eight Silly Monkeys-counting fun with eight silly monkeys when  they turn their bed into a playground.

Five Little Piggies-counting down is fun with five little piggies and their friends on a fairy tale adventure.

Hungry Bunny-learn colors,numbers shapes, types of food and more with a very hungry bunny.
