I really want to win the Colors, Shapes, and Counting DVD for my little one. This is an awesome Giveaway, and I'm excited to participate. If you want to enter this giveaway go to Ann Crabs blog HERE. 

Here is a sample of her post:

"My youngest is beginning to read, so I was excited to review Rock n Learn's Sight Words DVD.  I have watched (and loved) many of their videos, but this is definitely one of my favorites!  The video reviews over 60 sight words, including all pre-primer Dolch words and the Top 20 from Fry's first 100 and more.  The songs combined with the words are taught in context for meaning.  The characters are fun and my girls were laughing and singing along right away!  If you have a little one starting to read, don't miss out on this video!

Rock n Learn offer a variety of education video and CD topics, including reading, phonics, science, foreign languages, presidents, states and capitals and the solar system.  Visit www.RockNLearn.com for more information and to hear samples."


I urge you to go check it out, and if you have a little one who is starting to read, or learn shapes, colors, or numbers I urge you to enter her giveaway!

10 Day Challenge: Day 9

Today's Challenge is Two Songs:

1. In My Daughter's Eyes, Martina McBride

 I have to admit as I was thinking of my favorite songs this one jumped right to the top of the list. It makes me cry every time I hear it. This is the love I feel for my darling little girl. Hope you enjoy it, and make sure you have a tissue box handy!

2. Joy to the World, Three Dog Night

I know this song completely by heart. It has been passed down, generation to generation, as a lullaby. My mom sang it to me when I was a baby, and I've sung it to my daughter every night since before she was born. She won't go to sleep without mommy or grammy signing her "bullfrog song". :)

This is what happens...

This is what happens when you are bored, and decide to browse YouTube videos:

SO FUNNY!!! Lol.

Outdated

For the past couple of days, my daughter and I have been watching VHS tapes that my mother had held on to from my childhood. My favorite being the All dogs go to Heaven series (showing my age a little). Several things have come to mind:
1. It's sad that kids today miss out on some of the movies we watched as kids... (Like the Adams Family, or The neverending story). I'm sure you can find them on ebay or something, but who does? Everyone I know watches cable, satelite, or netfilx. No one takes the time to look for their fave movies as a kid.
2. Anybody actually watch VHS anymore? Its funny that we have come so far in technology. But think about this. Any other moms out there been frustrated because your child's favorite movie has a scratch in the dvd/blu-ray? I know I have. (My daughter had a complete melt down when her Toy Story 3 dvd wouldn't play anymore.) But VHS dont get scratches. Sure if you pull the reel out of the cassette, its pretty much garbage. But if you want to replace a dvd/blu-ray its ten times more expensive then replacing a VHS (most of them can be found for 1$ or less on ebay-
DISNEY VHS MOVIE LOT / C...).
3. I'm curious, so here's a question: what type does your family use most? Dvd? Blu-ray? Netflix? Cable/satelite? Anyone else actually still watch VHS?
