Program Description: Music, fun, and holiday adventures with the Fraggles! Come along with Gobo, Red, Boober and the whole Fraggle gang for three wintry adventures bursting with wonder, laughter and rockin’ music! Whether it’s celebrating the annual Festival of the Bells or learning the value of generosity, the Fraggles discover that although the meaning of the season is different for everyone, it’s the power of friendship that truly makes the holidays special. So grab a scarf, cuddle up with a bowl of warm radish soup, and join the festive magic down in Fraggle Rock!
This DVD contains three holiday episodes
  • The Bells of Fraggle Rock-It’s time for the festival of bells, but while other Fraggles excitedly prepare, the holiday had lost its meaning to Gobo.
  • The Grapes of Generosity-After finding enchanted fruit that compels anyone who eats it to share with others, Gobo decides to keep all the fruit for himself.
  • The Perfect Blue Rollie-Wembley is happy when he and Boober find a rare stone-the’Blue rollie’-but Boober does not want to share with his friends.

DVD special features:

  • The Great Fraggle Freeze animated episode
  • Emmet Otter’s Jug-band Christmas Sing-Along
  • A look at Jim Henson’s The Christmas Toy
  • Holiday game and more!

***** These episodes really get you in the holiday spirit, and bring back a lot of childhood memories.  The Bells of Fraggle Rock shows how you should follow your heart and believe in yourself.  The next episodes teach you about sharing. I love Fraggle rock and am so happy they have come to DVD so I can share it now with my children.

Happy Halloween

Halloween

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Halloween everyone. Have a great time with your little ones/

Please please please keep in mind some safety tips

Always stay with your child. If your child id under the age of 13 I don’t they should be with an adult. (with all the kids being snatched lately, never be to precautious)

Make sure your child is wearing a jacket. Yes it may cover their costume, but it’s cold.

Always check your childs candy before they eat it, even when your walking around Trick or treating. Throw unwrapped candy away, you don’t know where it’s been. (Probably in the hands of someone with H1N1 and your child does not need that.)

Keep your bag of candy closed and close to you. Yes people do still bag snatch.

So some of these tips maybe off the wall, but I’m only 25 it wasn’t to long ago I was a Trick or Treater. So I know what can happen.

 

Swiffer Goes Pink for Breast Cancer Awarness

- brandy3 1 Comment

Swiffer products have gone pink for October, to support breast cancer awareness.   Breast cancer awareness is very dear to my heart having my grandmothers survive this horrible disease.

SwifferPinkRibbonKit

Swiffer Sweeper-is two solutions in one.  A sweeper(used with dry cloths) which pick up more hair and dirt then a broom. It’s also a mop(used with wet cloths) To trap in dirt and grime giving you a deeper clean, and then locking it away forever. No more messy mop and bucket. Plus the swivel head gives you a better reach for those unreachable places. like behind the toilet or in corners. You can even use it to clean walls or appliances, and under furniture.

Swiffer-Pink

Swiffer duster has thousands of cleaning fibers, to remove up to 90% of allergens. It traps and locks in dust, 50% better than other dusters. The fibers change shape to reach into those nooks and cranies.

***I finally got to try these products and I’m so excited. I always wanted too.   These products are so convienant and easy to use, especially for a mom with no time.(Get it no time mommy). no messes with buckets, dust pans, and brooms. Just attach a cloth and sweep or mop. Plus there was so much more dirt then I had ever seen. We cleaned my ceiling fan with the duster and it was so nice to not have dust falling to the floor.

Spongebob Connect 4 game review

- brandy3

 From manufacturer:Play your favorite four-in-a-row game the Bikini Bottom way! Drop your checkers into the yellow and porous grid and try to make a line upwards, sideways, or diagonal. Block your opponent with checkers–or use your Spongebob Blocker to block many holes at once! But look out–if your opponent’s checkers stack to the top of the grid, they can take away your SpongeBob Blocker! If you get four checkers in a row before your opponent –you win!

*****This game is a lot of fun, just like the classic connect 4. This one the pieces have Spongebob and Patrick on them.  The game tower even has Spongebobs face on it. My kids are a little younger than the recommended age, but they understood how to play and had a blast. 

Retail price: $18.99

for ages 6 and up

I also received Pictureka, Crazy Old Fish War,Monopoly Deal, Littlest Pet Shop Go Fish, Scrabble Slam and Rook.

***The card games are a little out of age range for my kids. My daughters really enjoyed Littlest pet shop go fish. Go fish Go fish is all I hear now.  These would make perfect stocking stuffer for the holiday season.

Retail value: $4.99-$6.99

***This bag Can fit a lot of Stuffed animals, We had a full dorm fridge box full, and almost all of them fit. My kids love how soft it is and you can jump and sit on it.  I didn’t expect it to be that big though. I can’t find anywhere in my kids room to put it.  I have to admit though it’s better than having stuffed animals laying everywhere.  This is a must have for getting your childs room organized and clean.
