  My Thoughts on The Berenstain Bears DVD Collection I love the Berenstain Bears! They were one of my favorite cartoons ever to watch when I was a child. I love watching this wholesome family and their antics. It is a cartoon that is great for all ages and is filled with family and love. As a child I grew up with the Berenstain Bears not only on t.v. but also in books. I would flock to the Berenstain Bears section at my local library as a child so I could read about every adventure that Mama, Papa, Sister and Brother took together. Recently I was sent a 3-disc set of The Berenstain Bears for purpose of this review. I was happy to see that The Berenstain Bears are back in action. This 3 DVD Collection represents the 50th Anniversary of this cute series! Your kids will enjoy this cartoon as much as you did as a child! Enjoy!   On The Back Homework Help-  Too-Tall and the gang amuse themselves at Sister's expense by warning her how hard third grade will be and … [Read more...]

  My Thoughts on Chicken Soup for the Soul Raising Kids on the Spectrum   Thanks to Chicken Soup for the Soul I was recently sent a copy of their book Chicken Soup for the Soul Raising Kids on the Spectrum for the purpose of this review. A few years ago I worked as a substitute teacher. One of my substitute jobs ended up being a couple of weeks long and entailed working with an Autistic student. That was my first encounter with autism. To be honest he fascinated me. The knowledge that he had was out of this world. He just did not understand what he needed to do with all that brain power he had going on. It was amazing. Since then I have worked with and babysat many autistic children. Each of them amaze me with their knowledge! I am not a parent of an Autistic child but I do know many parents who have children with Autism and Asperger's. At times I know they feel very alone and it is hard for them to get understanding from other parents because no one … [Read more...]

Udderly Smooth Review!

udderly

Udderly Smooth® Review! My thoughts on Udderly Smooth® products – I simply have the driest hands, ever since my daughter was born I started using hand sanitizer so much that my hands would crack and bleed and now that my daughter is nine, my hands still need some serious moisturizing since my habit of hand sanitizing hasn’t subsided. Udderly Smooth® body cream isn’t flashy, doesn’t have sparkles in it, and doesn’t come in a variety of perfume scents. Udderly Smooth® body cream is just a white cream that you apply to your skin and once you do, you will see why this product doesn’t need to be flashy or mask itself with perfumes and glitter. This cream is absolutely amazing and it does its job better than I had ever imagined! I honestly cannot stand a hand cream that leaves behind a greasy feel, especially when you want to continue on with your day typing, driving, petting the dog…things people do. I do wish I had known about this product when my daughter was … [Read more...]

BabyFirstTV I Can Sign First Words Review!

Posted on December 23, 2012 / By: 2 Comments

My Thoughts on BabyFirstTV Presents I Can Sign First Words When my daughter was born I knew that I wanted to do everything in my power to give her the best start possible. This meant that I wanted to make sure to feed her little brain with as much knowledge that she could handle for her age. One of the things I practiced with her as an infant was sign language. I was amazed at how quickly she picked it up and how well she remembered each sign. As a toddler she continued to use the signs for things that she could not find the right words for. It was wonderful. Recently I was sent a copy of BabyFirstTV Presents 'I Can Sign First Words' for the purpose of this review. I was excited to see what words there were and how they presented the sign language to the children. I Can Sign First Words was created for ages 6 months to 3 years and they will learn words such as baby, drink, water, bottle, etc....Each word is taught in a way that will have your children learning … [Read more...]

Vicks Behind Ear Thermometer Review!

Posted on December 22, 2012 / By: Leave a Comment
510qNeSC3KL

My Thoughts on Vicks Behind Ear Thermometer It's that time of year again. Cold and Flu season! It is such a horrible feeling to see your little ones sick. It breaks my heart  to see my daughter so down and the last thing I ever want to do is wake her up once she is finally sleeping. That is why I think it is important to use a thermometer that she won't even notice. The Vicks Behind Ear Thermometer is easy to us and read. The screen will light up green behind the temperature to let you know that their body temperature is okay and you have nothing to worry about. If there is a fever then the light behind the temperature will change to yellow for a mild fever and red for a high fever. This will help you to take the guessing game out of "How high should I let a fever get before I get concerned." Another feature about the Vicks Behind Ear Thermometer that I love is how quickly I can take a second temperature after the first. With many thermometers you have to wait for them to cool … [Read more...]
