Barney: 1-2-3 Learn


My little brother LOVED Barney!
I remember the whole " I love you" song and everything, but I thought that Barney was just a thing from back when my brother was younger.
You can only imagine what my facial expression looked like when I heard the Big Purple Dinosaur come on TV one morning!
I brought Broxton in the living room and we watched the same type of program that I remembered my brother watching!
So many shows today are so completely different from how they started out, or at least how I remembered them!
Not the case with Barney!!!!

I was excited to know that not only were we getting the chance to review a new Barney DVD, it was the Barney: 1-2-3 Learn one!!!
As soon as it came, we immediately put it in!!!
I loved it!!!
Yes, there are new characters and of course the children have changed, but some things remain!
Teaching!!!!

Barney and friends not only taught how to know your different shapes, they made games out of it!
They showed us how different musical instruments are different shapes...
They also showed that there are many different games that you can play with different shapes!
(They had a bean bag toss and it was all in TRIANGLES!)

After working on shapes, they moved on to learning numbers.
Not only did they basically count, they showed that you could play the :Number Limbo.
With Number Limbo, each time you went and did the limbo, the pole moved another number down!!!!

They even said that learning to count, you can do all sorts of fun things!!!
See, it isn't just to know how to count! It is to know how to count and HAVE FUN!!!!

I loved watching this with Broxton and listening to him sing and dance!!!!

    This video covers so many skills. Barney is not my favorite, but JDaniel sure loves him.

    Barney is not my fave either, but all three of my kiddos have learned so much from this show! The songs, primarily, are very catchy & teach them so much! We sing the clean up song & the rainbow song ALLLLL the time! Lol. =)

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
