It’s summer and that usually means a lot of grilling and backyard barbecues. I enjoy doing a little grilling myself. Back in high school I started grilling pizzas for my friends during the summer and they were a hit. I still like to fire up a pizza every now and then, but for the most part, I leave cooking with an open flame to the real grill master – my hubby.
Last week Bubbles and I made a trip to Sam’s Club to stock up on a few things for our Father’s Day party. While we were there we saw the International Delights Mocha Iced Coffee being demoed. I recently noticed these for sale at our local grocery store, but wasn’t sure if I would like it, or not. Now I could sample it and know for sure! Continue reading »
Over 30 years ago Ocean Music produced The Classic Nursery Rhymes Collection on VHS and it sold over a million copies! For an old-school VHS, those are pretty significant numbers. With newer technology, though, VCR players are nearly as rare in the home as a rotary telephone.
I’ve mentioned in the past that Sprout TV and PBS Kids are two stations that we, along with Bubbles, enjoy watching. They have a number of great shows in their line up, one of which is the Super Why series. Well, the Super Readers are setting out on a new adventure that will take them around the world and they would like you to join them!
The Super Readers are made up of Whyatt, Princess Pea, Red Riding Hood, and Pig. They are also joined by Woofster, their book-loving puppy pal with Dictionary Power. We loved that Woofster is making his DVD premier, as Bubbles is currently in love with dogs.
The DVD includes three adventures: Around The World Adventure, Nalia And The Magic Map, and Jasper’s Cowboy Wish and runs for 90 minutes. In addition to the three adorable episodes (which we’ve now watched at least three times each; Bubbles highly approves), the DVD includes a number of extras. There are interactive games, music videos, printable activity and coloring pages (which Bubbles has also enjoyed putting her mark on), and a resource guide for parents to help encourage your budding readers.
The first two episodes will be airing on a special on-air event tomorrow, but if you don’t happen to catch them, the DVD will release on June 19th. Right now you can pre-order it on Amazon for under $12 and it ships free with Prime or Super Saver Shipping. And follow PBS Kids on Twitter and Facebook for future announcements, specials, and more.
I received a product in order to facilitate my review. No additional compensation was received and all opinions, as always, are 100% that of myself and my family.
For as far back as I can remember, I have had a special place in my heart for the Hallmark store. It started even before I could form memories. It actually started before I was born, to be honest.
My grandmother began a tradition with her two daughters (my mom and her sister) of purchasing (or making) them each an ornament every year from the year they were born. The thought was that once they were grown and married they would have at least a few ornaments for their trees that first Christmas. As soon as Hallmark started selling Christmas ornaments (in 1973) my Gram began purchasing those.
