My son LOVES The Wiggles. He could watch them all day long, and never tire of dancing, singing and playing his guitar along to all of their catchy tunes. When I was asked to review their newest DVD, The Wiggles Go Bananas!, I couldn’t say no, especially because in just a couple of weeks, I…

Celebrating “Smart Summers” with WordWorld!
From the catchy little songs to the quarky characters, WordWorld has quickly become one of my daughters absolutely favorite cartoons. Okay, I really like it, too! I just think it is so creative how they create each character or object out of the letters that make-up that word! Genius! However, no matter how cute and…
Hotel For Dogs
Kids and Dogs are simply a great combination, so when I was asked to review Hotel for Dogs, one of Dreamworks and Nickelodeon Productions latest releases, I was thrilled (or should I say Jackson was thrilled) to say yes. This is a movie that doesn’t disappoint. Heart warming and funny, Hotel for Dogs is a…
Elmo Goes GREEN!
When my daughter opened the package and saw that we had gotten a new DVD in the mail, she was pretty excited. When she saw Elmo on the cover, she was a little confused. After all, Elmo was GREEN! Any pre-schooler (and, consequently, any mom) could easily pick Elmo out of a crowd! With his…
Space Buddies – Out Of This World Fun
My five year old daughter loves anything having to do with space. She is a Star Wars fanatic. She also adores puppies and doesn’t understand why I won’t buy her one yet. Take those two favorite things of hers and put them in a movie, and you have one ecstatic little girl. Disney’s irresistible talking…
Chrissa Stands Strong, an American Girl Movie
I recently watched HBO’s An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong, with my ten-year-old daughter Amanda. This is the first time that a full-length movie has been produced in conjunction with the release of the Girl of the Year doll. Like all the other American Girl characters, Chrissa is a bright and beautiful ten-year-old girl. When…
Mamma Mia! DVD
One of the things I love about living here in Connecticut is my proximity to New York City. A little over a year ago some girlfriends and I got tickets to see Mamma Mia! The Broadway show started off with girls squealing and jumping up and down. It ended with a show-stopping number that made…
Win a $30 Gift Certificate from Children’s Place
Time to get COZY!!! My in-laws have a tradition of giving the kids a new pair of pajamas every Christmas. I just love it and now I do it at our house too. (Yes, my kids then get double the PJ’s — but at the rate my kids grow, they constantly seem to be outgrowing…
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I can’t imagine my childhood without C.S. Lewis. Narnia helped form my worldview. While I didn’t have the incredible movie version that my six year old son gets to experience, I did have the old animated version. Susan and I had that movie memorized. Literally. When Jackson was old enough to not squirm too much,…
