Word World My Fuzzy Valentine

January 22, 2010 By 3 Comments

Welcome to the place where words come alive. Word World! Word World has become one of my favorite shows because it encourages the recognition of words. I’m sure my daughter can see that with all that she catches on to.  I was first introduced to Word World when I was at another Moms house. her kids were watching it and it was after I had been working on letters with my daughter. She said ‘e’ and there was an e. I was so excited, she was only 2 years old and recognized the letter. Wow, the same story every time I watch a word world video.

How about a new one, my husband does not like Word World and I can’t for the life of me figure out why? I love watching Word World. It comes on PBS and is put out on DVD’s by NCircle Entertainment. My kids love watching Word World. It’s entertaining and teaches them words with letters and the turns them into pictures. It’s a very visual presentation. Lots of people are visual learners.

This Word World DVD comes with two different episodes.  Both are sure to get everyone in the mood for Valentine’s Day!

My Fuzzy Valentine:

When SHEEP decides she wants to make a special Valentine song for her pal BEAR, she runs into trouble finding the perfect rhyme and makes BEAR a Valentine song with real heart.

The Love Bug:

BUG wants to sign a Valentine for his favorite WordFriend, but he doesn’t know how to write his name. With lots of encouragement from FROG he learns that with a little practice, he can write his name.

 

 

My favorite out of the two was watching My Fuzzy Valentine. It was really cute watching sheep try to come up with just the right rhyme and we used this opportunity to start teaching Zoe how to rhyme.

 

NCircle was kind enough to send us a copy of  My Fuzzy Valentine dvd it retails for only 5.99 US$. (I think this is a great price for this educational show).  A Department of Education funded study has shown that WordWorld improves a child’s literacy skills.

 

Thanks to NCircle Entertainment we were sent My Fuzzy Valentine, one of the newer WordWorld releases…just in time for Valentines day!

The Invention of Lying

January 20, 2010 By 5 Comments

Could you imagine a world where there are no lying. Not only no lying but you say whatever is on your mind. Ha! I could not live in a world like that. I mean, I suppose If I was raised with the complete truth, even hurtful truth then I could deal with it. Watching a world like this was the funniest thing I’ve seen in months.

The Invention of Lying was so funny from the beginning to end. It was just released to DVD on January 19, 2010.

The Invention of LyingThe movie began with talk of “personal time” in Anna’s (Jennifer Garner) apartment. I was thinking that the entire movie was going to be dirty but it cleaned up and was just funny. Mark (Ricky Garvais) discovered that he could lie. He even tried to teach his friends but they never caught on to the fact that he was lying. They believed it every time he told them his name was something different. Mark is quite a decent guy, because he told a woman that the world was going to end if they didn’t sleep together and then he realized how wrong it was to take advantage of her so he pretended that NASA called him to say it was cancelled.

When his mother dies, he invents the man in the sky and then there is a lot of humor about the rules from the man in the sky. Between these rules being announced and Mark’s ability to lie he becomes rich and famous. But even with his fame he is still unable to win the love of his life’s heart. She thinks he’s too fat and has a snubby nose. But it doesn’t end there.

The line up of actors was amazing. I love Tina Fey, Rob Low and Jennifer Garner is always fabulous.

 

Warner Brothers sent me this DVD to review, no other compensation was received.

Clive Owen Brings me to tears in The Boys are Back

January 20, 2010 By 3 Comments

clip_image001
Clive Owen Stars in a Deeply Moving Tale of a Man Who Finds Himself
Suddenly Responsible For Raising Two Sons Alone
From Miramax Films
THE BOYS ARE BACK
Available on DVD January 26, 2010

“One of the year’s best pictures” — Baz Bamigboye, Daily Mail

 

*

 

The Boys Are Back brought tears, I was brought tons of tears with this movie. Clive Owen is a halfway father to one child and a dead beat dad to the other. Then his wife dies and he is solely responsible for one of his children. He doesn’t know how to be a father and grandma wants to take care of the kid. He refuses to let his mother-in-law raise his child so he takes off on an adventure to find himself. He finally has to go back to work and is trying to get a handle on things. He’s in the middle of failing miserably and his ex-wife decides to send his other son to him to live. He wants to say no, but also wants to get to know his other son. So now he’s a father of two, a teenager and an Elementary kid, all on his own. The worst part of all of it is that his job requires him to travel.

I was shocked when he left his teenager to take care of his younger son. They hardly knew each other and disaster strikes and the grandparents have to step in. Yikes! This was the breaking point for him. He realized he was going to have to become the parent and stop being the friend that always says yes. He has to prove to both of his sons that he can be the father they need him to be and he finally is. This movie is based on a true story of a father restoring his relationship with his sons.

DVD Bonus Features
• The Boys Are Back: A Photographic Journey — A picture is worth a 1,000 words as
director Scott Hicks takes us on a pictorial tour of the making of the film.  
• A Father and Two Sons, On Set — Simon Carr, whose memoir inspired the movie, and
his real-life sons visit the set.
The death of his wife leaves wisecracking sportswriter Joe Warr (Clive Owen) with a curious six
year-old (Nicholas McAnulty) and a rebellious teen from a previous marriage (George MacKay) to
bring up in a household devoid of feminine influence. So Joe takes on parenting the only way he
knows how—full throttle. With an exuberance born of necessity, he teaches his boys to meet the
joy and fragility of life head on. The Boys Are Back chronicles the fierce love and loyalty the three
Warr men discover for each other as they make their way through the trials of everyday life.  
The Boys Are Back is priced at $29.99 on DVD.

Emmy Award Winning Juno Baby Juno’s Rhythm Adventure #giveaway

January 18, 2010 By 101 Comments

Juno’s Rhythm Adventure presents a world of giggles and imagination. Starting from a historical quote, from Plato:

"The whole of man’s life stands in need of a right rhythm" 

Juno's Rhythm Adventure DVD from Juno BabyThis becomes the theme of the entire video focusing on the rhythm aspect of music in a way that can appreciated by children. The recommended age is from 12 months to four years and you might even want to introduce it to your six month old because to me that’s when they really start exploring. Music is a great way to get them into touch and sound. One important key to remember in my opinion is that children learn with interaction. They are too young to be sat in front of a TV and expected to pick it all up on their own. 

 

Classical music has always been well received as a way to stimulate higher thinking levels in children, and the orchestral works by Dr. Takahashi  the creator of Juno, provide the perfect backdrop to Juno, her friends and all the other creative visuals. Juno and her friends are interactive. They talk directly to your children to get them clapping, snapping and playing along. They encourage running, walking to dressing silly and invent a world of discovery waiting for your children.

Dr Takahashi is passionate about her work on Juno:

“As a classical composer and mother, I believe that music has the power to inspire and nurture us creatively, intellectually and emotionally. Music allows us to feel and express ourselves more completely than words often can. My wish is for all children to be surrounded by beautiful and interesting sounds, and for them to keep music forever a part of their lives.”

I found Juno Baby to be easy to watch. I wasn’t left annoyed like some of the other cartoon characters my children like to watch leave me. Classical music is so much easier to listen to than other things. My kids wanted to watch it again and my daughter asked me a lot of questions. She’s at the stage where everything is a question. My son, loves to bang on everything he can anyways so he of course loved it.

DVD Features:

The DVD can be played in English, French and Spanish and develops the following skills:

  • Language development
  • Rhythm/music creation
  • Counting
  • Music appreciation and more!
  • Foreign Languages
  • Encouraging Participation

Languages include: English, French, Spanish
Dolby Digital
Color/Dual Layer
Run Time 45 minutes

Besides offering fabulous educational and developmental entertainment for children, Juno Baby also started the One For All Program to help children in need. For every Juno Baby product purchased, they’ll donate a like product to a child in an underserved community – their goal is to give away 1 million DVDs, CDs and books in 2010. Purchase one at Juno Baby

BBC America’s Robin Hood Season Three Review

January 12, 2010 By 3 Comments

Warner Brothers sent me a copy of Robin Hood Season Three on behalf of BBC America. I was thrilled to receive it because I love BBC America and Nottingham’s greatest outlaw is just icing on the cake. I’ve never seen Robin Hood before so starting on Season Three was just a little bit shocking. There is no Marian; she was previously killed off. I was really looking forward to watching her character but soon found out she’s now the driving force behind Robin’s revenge against Gisborne. Sound complicated? Not really!

 

We have Robin Hood stealing from Prince John in any way he can to care for the poor across England. Prince John is a tyrant after King Richard’s thrown. King Richard is off fighting the crusades, now does it sound familiar. Two new characters join Robin this year. Kate, a beautiful blond who ultimately falls in love with Robin, I mean who doesn’t right? Also, Brother Tuck joins the band of Merry Men. If it weren’t for him Robin Hood would have died, along with his legend. Tuck convinces Robin that he needs to continue to fight for the oppressed England.

I’ve been watching it for three nights now. The more I watch the funnier it is becoming. It’s BBC American just like I like it. My husband noticed that the characters are relatable because they look normal. Their teeth are what you would expect. Only in Hollywood CA, do you get “perfection” and who wants it? I would love it if more people looked natural.

Each episode is an adventure from beginning to end and even though I’ve never seen any of the previous seasons, the characters are well developed. Including the introduction of the new characters for the season.

Released to DVD January 12, 2010. It’s available on BBC America. In case you’re still wondering what’s going on with Robin Hood check out this description.

About the DVD:.

This January, the BBC unleashes to DVD the third and final season of the epic drama, Robin Hood, with the DVD box set release – Robin Hood: Season Three. In this climactic installment of the highly-successful BBC AMERICA adventure series, Robin (Jonas Armstrong, Teachers) returns tougher, darker and consumed with Marian’s death. Splitting up the gang, Robin launches a solo mission to avenge her and kill Gisborne (Richard Armitage, MI-5, North & South). It is only the intervention of the mysterious Tuck (David Harewood, Blood Diamond; The Merchant of Venice) that stops Robin from joining Marian in an early grave. Toby Stephens (Jane Eyre, The Queen’s Sister) joins the well-rounded cast as the wickedly evil Prince John who puts pressure on the Sheriff (Keith Allen, Viva Blackpool, Bodies) and Gisborne to take down Robin Hood once and for all. This 5-disc DVD box set boasts over an hour of bonus material including behind-the-scenes features, character profiles, video diaries and more.

 

ROBIN HOOD: SEASON THREE BONUS FEATURES

· A Legend Reborn (behind the scenes feature)

· A New Look (behind the scenes look at costuming)

· Trebuchet: Creating Chaos

· Character Profiles

· Video Diaries

New Years Resolution with Moms Into Fitness #giveaway

January 1, 2010 By 300 Comments

Moms Into Fitness’s own Lindsay Brin contacted me and asked me to do a review of her exercise videos. That was three months ago today. Now I look at her blog and I think of how wonderful she is and I want to honor her request no matter how late it might be. Why?

First check out the giveaway she is hosting: (click on the picture for more information)

 

Secondly, she is a motivational person. I wrote to her and told her that I suffer from depression. That I had a bout of it right after my second pregnancy. It’s normal for women to have post partum depression and we don’t need to be ashamed of it.

“And I hope your PPD is better!  I’ve worked with so many women with it.  Did you know it hits 1 in 4 of us?  Geez-as if we don’t deal with enough as mothers!  Truly, I hope you are feeling better.  I’m happy that you recognized you had it.”

Thirdly, she sent me three DVD’s to review.

Core Firing Squad: Your core muscles will bounce back and redefine into a flat stomach with the CFS method. This is true for you if you were recently pregnant, going through menopause, have back pain, or haven’t exercised in a long time. By using Lindsay Brin’s method of deep abdominal and pelvic floor training, you can return to the flat stomach you used to have, as well as all of the health benefits of a strong core. These three progressive 7-8 minute workouts can be used on their own or as a part of a more comprehensive program with Lindsay’s other DVDs.

Dance Jam: Because I like to dance!

Let’s be honest, workouts can be boring. And if you’re bored, you won’t want to make exercise a regular part of your week. Join Lindsay Brin and four other former NFL dancers who hung up the white boots to become busy moms, for fun and easy hip hop moves and intense cardio for the waistline-with workouts that work with your schedule. Only have a few minutes a day? The Express Workout will keep you on track. Have a little bit longer? Keep the groove going with no complicated moves and no dance experience required. Want to really rev up your metabolism and keep the calories burning even after the workout is over? Join the Halftime Show and really get things burning. A dance party that is so much fun, you’ll forget you’re working out!

Boot Camp, because she felt I needed it to help me lose weight faster.

The only DVD of its kind with over 2 hours of exercises including 10-10 minute weight loss workouts! Choose from the 10 minute Quickstart menu, 6 core workouts or Lindsay’s 12 week program. Reshape your body, flatten your tummy and get your energy back with Pilates, Cardio, Core, Kickboxing, Plyometrics, Yoga, Mom/Baby Core Strength, Toning and more!

 

My opinion, even though I received these so long ago, it was right around the time that I started having problems that led to my surgery. Exercise would only have made the symptoms worse so I did as little as possible up to the time of my surgery. Do I have intentions of trying all of the DVD’s at my disposal, yes I do, as soon as the doctor says I’m clear for workouts, then I’m shedding those pounds and quickly.

Then I can update the post with reviews or just do a review on a Fitness Friday post.

 

Prize: Your Choice of Three of the DVDs that she has to offer.

To Enter:

Visit Moms into Fitness and tell me which DVD you might be interested in other than the three I have listed above. (required)

Sign up for her newsletter at Moms into Fitness (5 extra)

New Years Resolution Take off the lbs with Dancing With The Stars #giveaway

December 31, 2009 By 358 Comments

Two things about me other than it’s my New Years Resolution to lose weight.

One, I love to dance. I love it so much, I’ve taken lessons in college and with my husband. I dragged him with me and we did about ten weeks but I thin I’ve forgotten most of it. I’m just not sure. I think when it comes to swing dancing I would fall right back into the swing of things. Ha ha ha, I know, I’m not that funny.

Two, I love watching dancing with the stars. ABC’s Dancing with the stars is so much fun to watch. I love to watch the different dances and wish that I could train with a professional. The classes I took with my husband were a lot of fun. We learned all of the different ballroom dances. We didn’t master them. I’ll admit a weakness to you. I’m not good at following. I just want to lead. Oh the shame, I’ve never really had a great dance partner, oh wait, I take that back. Once, when I was in high school, my boyfriend and I went out swing dancing. We went to a bar that was hosting dancing and we danced. He wasn’t that strong either but this couple came in. They were dressed to the nines when it comes to swingers. The guy asked me to dance and it was AMAZING. So I do believe Edward Cullen in Twilight, “It’s all in the lead”

Now for the giveaway!

I received these two DVD’s to review on Mom Start. It’s very sad because I can’t do an accurate review right now. I haven’t been approved for excursive from my surgery yet. From the looks of them, I know I’m going to like them. I much prefer dancing off the pounds to just doing routine exercises. After watching it, I know I’m going to love doing it.

 

Dancing with the Stars: Dance Off the Pounds

Run time is 54 minutes

Each season, audiences watch in amazement as stars shrink down and shape up on ABC’s DANCING WITH THE STARS™. Now you can share their weight-loss success and dance off the pounds with three different cardio dance routines—Swing, Jive and Quickstep—led by pro dancers Dmitry, Lacey and Kym. Each routine gets your body warmed up with the signature moves of the featured dances before progressively adding on to create complete, calorie-blasting workouts – so you can learn with ease and get dancer fit all at once. Join the fat-burning fun and dance your way to a superstar body!

• Custom Dance Matrix

• Swing (15 min.)

• Jive (15 min.)

• Quickstep (15 min.)

• Cooldown (5 min.)

• Music-Only Option

• Trailer

 
This one has more slower parts in it. I can’t do this one  yet either, because I have to be very careful for two more weeks. Time is passing but just going to Costco with my kids wares me out. The slower parts focus much more on the mid section, you know those trouble areas that all of us women would just love help in.

 

Dancing with the Stars: Dance Body Tone

Run Time is 51 minutes

On ABC’s DANCING WITH THE STARS™, contestants shed countless pounds and inches, and now you can too! With three fun routines – a sizzling Latin combo, a tantalizing Tango, and a jazzy-funk Freestyle – pro dancers Kym, Dmitry and Lacey will teach you to dance like a star as you shrink your waistline and sculpt lean muscle. Transform your body with this body-sculpting routine and achieve a stronger, sexier you!

 

 

• Custom Dance Mix

• Latin (15 min.)

• Tango (15 min.)

• Freestyle Tango (15 min.)

• Cooldown (5 min.)

• Music-Only Option

• Trailer

 

Both are available at Costco, Amazon and at Lionsgate. Enter to win both of these DVDs for your collection.

Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You Review

December 30, 2009 By 4 Comments

clip_image001On Tuesday January 5th, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release WINNIE THE POOH: A VALENTINE FOR YOU Special Edition on DVD! This Valentine themed animated collection features three Winnie the Pooh stories including a new-to-DVD adventure (“My Hero) a fun bonus feature (“Catch the Love Bug” game), Pooh-themed Valentines cards inside each DVD plus all features from the original. As a bonus, each special edition DVD includes Pooh-themed Valentine’s Day Cards!

We received an advance copy of the DVD to review and as soon as it came in the door my daughter wanted to watch it. Let’s watch Winnie the Pooh. My daughter loves Pooh Bear. I was afraid though that she would be disappointed by this version. This is the classic Winnie the Pooh that I grew up with. I don’t remember any of the stories but they are older stories. They don’t have Darby, but the original Christopher Robin.

There was enough familiarity in it for her to still enjoy and love it and request to watch it over and over again. This DVD included three half-hour cartoons; one of them being, “A Valentine for you”. The story: Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit see Christopher Robin making a valentine for a girl and find he’s been bitten by a "Smitten" and is lovesick. Worried that he’ll no longer have time for them, and hoping a second bite from the love bug will cure him, they set out on a wild adventure to capture the Smitten. One of the other ones is from "Un-Valentine’s Day". It is simply the first Season 2 episode of "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", the Daytime Emmy-winning Saturday morning fixture in 1989. I was nine years old then. The story:it’s that warm and wonderful time when Pooh and his pals like to show how much they care. But Rabbit wants to cancel Valentine’s Day because last year, he was up to his ears in the flood of cards that littered the Hundred Acre Wood. Reluctantly, everyone agrees – until someone anonymously sends Pooh a pot of honey. Suddenly, the Valentine rush is again out of control, much to the delight of all — including Rabbit. The third one is  “My Hero”. The story: this new-to-DVD adventure that shows the lesson of two friends truly helping each other. When Piglet saves Tigger’s life, Tigger decides to repay the favor by being Piglet’s servant. But Tigger’s new job causes Piglet more harm than good. When Tigger saves Piglet’s life, his obligation to be the servant is erased and all is back to normal.

I didn’t pay too much attention to it. I was just reminded of when I used to watch it because it started in the real life bedroom that is supposed to belong to Christopher Robin. From their the nostalgic music starts and I’m whisked away into my own imagination and my daughter is soaking it all up for the first time. I thought it was timeless and classic while my daughter found it new. We’re going to have lots of fun with the Valentine’s Day cards that came with the DVD.

Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You Special Editionbonus Features include: My Hero New To DVD! From THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH, Catch The Love Bug Game Flying Love Bugs are On The Loose In The Hundred Acre Wood, And It’s Up To You To Catch As Many As You Can.

You’re invited to a Puppy Party

December 29, 2009 By 4 Comments

puppyparty

Puppy Party:

NCircle put out a cute DVD that gathers all your puppy friends and allows your children to explore the puppies. It’s pretty cute and educational. The narrator is the same voice from Animal Atlas, he’s really good at talking to children. This time he is just talking as one of the dogs. The cute little Labrador puppy that is throwing the party. His name is Milo. Now we watched this as a family when memaw was here and she said it wasn’t stimulating enough. It’s not for adults people. It’s for kids. I mean it got my daughter started up on questions, and I think it would be a great educational tool.  Maybe if you home school your kids and want them to learn about a few different breeds. This DVD features over 25 breeds, facts about each breeds and hilarious puppy antics. You can purchase it directly from NCircle for 5.99 or at Amazon for 6.99.

Gotta Catch Santa Claus DVD Movie Review and #giveaway

November 16, 2009 By 116 Comments

image

On October 13 Lionsgate released Gotta Catch Santa Claus, a new animated movie that will start airing on ABC Family’s 25 days of Christmas. I love Christmas and I can’t get enough of it. If you follow me on twitter then you will know that I’ve already turned on the Christmas music. I’m also aware that all the stores have their Christmas decorations out for sale. Thank goodness for people like me ‘cause I’m ready to deck the halls.

Gotta Catch Santa Claus stars William Shatner as the voice of Santa. I had to watch this and was lucky enough to receive a review copy from Lionsgate. I liked it more than my kids but they watched it with me, even when I wanted to watch it a second and third time. The humor was clean and defiantly family friendly. Not everything that is on the ABC Family’s 25 days of Christmas is always family friendly in my book but this one is.

Do you believe in Santa, boy I sure do. The spirit of giving and helping others in need. This is my favorite time of year. Well, that’s what this movie is about, at least the uncovering the truth behind Santa. Santa also runs into other unexpected trouble along the way but he knows how to handle it and gets back on schedule. Cute little animated move in my humble opinion.

 

 

You can purchase it at Amazon.
