Get Moving With Ella Jenkins


We were sent a new CD for us to enjoy and I thought it was great...
Since Broxton is in school right now, I sent it in to let his teacher use it... but I know we will be getting plenty of use out of it this summer!!!
The problem with us and CDs is that we don't have a CD player in the house...

The day that Get Moving with Ella Jenkins arrived, I put it in the car as soon as we were in there...
We listened to it, but it really isn't a car CD, it is a CD to get moving, not sit and listen! 

Ella Jenkins has a great time on her CD and you can feel it as soon as you hear it.
With Get Moving, you immediately want to get up and follow the rules to her songs!

There are songs we all know, such as London Bridges and One Potato, Two Potato... but then there are new (at least to me) songs such as Teddy Bear and Did You Feed My Cow...
I loved that Get Moving teaches so much more than just to get up and move.
First of all, you have to learn to listen.
She gives directions as to what you are to do... be it movement or saying /singing things...
You also have to learn to count...
You will pick up the learning of rhythm as you clap to the beat! 
The best was when she is working with kids on pronouns... Looks like I need to head back to school, as I was worried we were going to have a pop quiz on nouns, adverbs and the likes.. (No worries, I am okay to go... for now!)

I did end up sending this in with Broxton to let his teacher enjoy it for the time being..
With all the kids having colds (and the weather being so iffy here) it has been fun for them to enjoy this in the class when running around outside wasn't the best idea.  His teacher says the class has loved it so far... and it still gets them active and getting their energy out, without them all running and coming in coughing after playtime!

If you are looking for a fun way to get your kids up and moving on the days you are stuck inside, I recommend checking this out!!!!

    That was a good idea to share with little one's class.

    I have my home gym too. But gosh I need to be more accountable :)

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...
