Talk about a DVD that I love...  
I was not really sure what to expect when I started the Arthur DVD...  BUT  - I did know that Bullying is REALLY a big deal....  and I want Broxton prepared...
I believe that The Last Tough Customer is my favorite out of all of them...   It was a great way to see how bullying has an impact of those around you... but I also felt the same about So Funny I Forgot to Laugh...  All in all, I loved this DVD and was very happy to know it is part of our DVD collection now !

On this DVD:
The Last Tough Customer - The Tough Customers realize it's time to quit bullying and set out to find a new hobby - but can Molly ever truly change her ways?
Brain's Chess Mess - Brain starts a chess club at school to improve his game and beat Los Dedos, the local chess master.  Who knew the best player in the club would be .. Rattles???
So Funny I Forgot To Laugh - Arthur things his jokes about Sue Ellen's new sweater are all in good fun but Sue Ellen's feelings are hurt.  Has Arthur become ...  a bully?
The Best Day Ever - It's a beautiful afternoon and everyone is reminiscing about their "best days."  Everyone, that is , except Arthur.  Is it possible he doesn't have one? 

DVD:
 As teachers and parents across the nation educate kids 
about the impact of bullying, the new DVD “ARTHUR 
STANDS UP TO BULLYING” presents an outstanding

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... ...
