My Thoughts on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1 When I was a kid I would come home after school with my 2 little brothers and watch Season 1 of Might Morphin Power Rangers. I remember going outside and pretending to fight off the evil Rita Repulsa. Now I am grown as are the two brothers I used to watch this with but we do now have another little brother who is just 6 years old. Yes this is crazy and I never thought I would have a brother who is younger then my own daughter but I am very blessed to have him in my life. Recently I was sent a copy of Might Morphin Power Rangers Season 1 for the purpose of this review and I must say I was excited to watch this with my 6 year old little brother who loves Power Rangers. It was a kick being able to watch this with him now that I am older. I will admit that I have not seen any of the newer Power Rangers episodes but I still love Season 1. There was so much about this that I remembered and I am thrilled to now be able to watch it … [Read more...]

VeggieTales: The Penniless Princess God’s Little Girl Review
VeggieTales: The Penniless Princess God's Little Girl I will never forget the first time saw a VeggieTales cartoon. I was babysitting my cousins and I was 16 years old. Even at that age VeggieTales had an impact on me. I knew right away that whenever I had a child and family of my own I wanted my children to watch VeggieTales because of the wholesome values that are taught in each cartoon. I love that VeggieTales lets young children know just how special they are in the eyes of God and teaches them bible stories. Recently I was sent VeggieTales The Penniless Princess for the purpose of this review. Every time we get a new VeggieTales DVD the kiddo's know I will make a special day of it. I pop the popcorn, break out the juice boxes and we have fun watching these DVD's together.

VTech MobiGo & Dinosaur Train Game Review!
My Thoughts on Dinosaur Train and VTech MobiGo When my daughter was getting ready for Kindergarten the MobiGo was not available. But I knew that Learning Systems like this would be a great way to allow my daughter to learn in a form that was interesting to her. So I purchased a VTech Learning System that was available at that time and I must say although my daughter is now 7 it is still one of the best purchases I have ever made! Kids have a fascination with electronics. That is a fact! So why not let them play with something that is made for their age (3-8) and will be educational at the same time? The VTech MobiGo has all the advanced technology that kids are looking for; touch screen, keyboard, and there are lots of great games you can purchase so your child can focus on learning Vocabulary, Math, Problem Solving and more.

Learning about CD’s and Savings Bonds!
When it comes to banking terms I get confused. I do not know a whole lot about Bonds, CD's, or Stocks. But, I am planning on changing all of that. For years my Dad has been trying to get me to invest in CD's and Bonds for my daughter. In fact for all of her birthdays for the past few years he has been giving me money to place in her CD's and Bonds. Of course I have not done anything with it as of yet because it is all just so confusing. Recently I decided to take the time to actually check into all this foreign stuff and I am amazed at how easy it really is. In fact on the Discover Bank website I found all the information I have been looking for. I have now learned that a CD (also known as a Certificate of Deposit) is a lot like a savings account but instead of being able to pull your money out all the time you have a 'fixed' account that you let sit there until it is 'mature'. With a Certificate of Deposit you have a fixed interest terms and rates and once … [Read more...]
