What is the high-energy show that’s all about teamwork, friendship and keeps it all FUN?  Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! of course!

Do you ever make up reverse trivia questions?  I always do, maybe it’s because my dream job would be researching things for the game show, Jeopardy!  or maybe it’s because I live in my head a bit too much.  Anyways…

If the topic of Wuzzleburg does come up on your next best gameshow you’ll be ready after watching A Little Help from My Friends DVD.  Wuzzleburg is a wonderful, caring place where kids learn how to be good citizens.  Surrounding your kids with compassion and caring is a sure fire way to get some of that back in return.  You’ll notice them acting nicely when they meet up with friends from school or playdates or just the old lady talking to them at the supermarket.

I wasn’t suprised to learn that Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! is on almost 40 times a week!  I’ve never seen anything not to like about the show and I know my kids LOVE the show and there is no way to ignore the theme song!  It’s the high energy Wow! song that always gets us moving!!

The kids are especially fond of the A Little Help From Your Friends episode because Wubbzy makes a Doodleberry cake.   This is a great episode to watch if your kids insist on trying to make the cake themselves.  Wubbzy even tosses in whole eggs without cracking them!! this made the kids giggle so hard because the cracking of the eggs is always a stressful point of any baking activity around here.  Girl2004 is eager to see more baking/cooking episodes and marveled at the pink and white product.  There should be a compilation of all the baking episodes out there.

The DVD includes these fab episodes:

• A Little Help From Your Friends
• A Clean Sweep
• Mr. Cool
• Wubbzy in the Middle
• Gidget The Super Robot
• Broken Record
• Widget Gets the Blooey Blues
• Where’s My Wiggle Wrench?

Another point that the kids really like is that Wubbzy, Walden and Widget are best friends.  Often we see best friend duos characterized but my kids rather be “best” friends with a small group without having just one and excluding others.  Do yourself a favor and check out Wubbzy and friends. 

 Thanks to Mom Central for the review opportunity!  enjoy the art inspired by Wubbzy.

Patience everyone, the DVD you’ve all been waiting for will soon be available.  The kids and I had the opportunity to preview VEGGIETALES®: Abe and The Amazing Promise and I can vouch for its’ rewatchability factor… it’s been replayed a gazillion times thus far and no signs of stopping!

I love sharing something with the kids that strengthens their belief in God and gives good solid advice that everyone can agree with… in this case: patience!  All kids can relate to being impatient! I’m quite sure kids are meant not to have any as a test of a parents’ patience!

Are we there yet? how much longer to my birthday? when will the cookies be ready?  The first part of the video is about Abraham and Sarah’s wait for their promised son.  I really like the message, especially good since it’s not a story my kids are very familiar with.  This particular story is a wonderful choice because of the great faith and patience as well as the connections to three religions: Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

In addition to the great DVD be on the lookout for The VeggieTales® Bible from Zonderkidz.  It’s on my wishlist (the running one I keep in my head!).  Boy2001 has a Zonderkidz Adventure Bible but I think this would be great for my girls since they’re younger.

It’s almost Christmas!  Need a last minute gift? Looking ahead to the New Year and resolutions?  or maybe you just want to learn some dance moves?  Flirty Girl Fitness has the solution to that and more.

I’ve been dancing away the pounds and L-O-V-I-N-G it.  Flirting my way to fitness is so much fun!  I was very intimidated at first, all these women are skinny and gorgeous, how could I ever do those moves?! 

TIP!

Turn the lights off. I was less self conscious in the dark with only the light of the tv and it gives a more nightclub type feel to the workouts! 

If you like to dance you’re going to love these workouts!  learn how to get your sexy stretch on and more with these great programs. 

Booty Beat is a fun workout that teaches you a sexy music videoesque routine. It’s really fun and gives a good workout that I can actually follow!

Just Teasing is a great excuse to get out the pink feather boa! very fun, very flirty.

 
Chair Dancing (chair not included) is a nice present for your husband, learn all the flirty moves in a fun way.

Chair Fit is the most intense, when you want to really work it, use your chair as a support system while you pump those muscles.

Flirty Girl Fitness is FUN!  and anything that is fun is something you (and I) can keep up.  I’m kind of sick of doing the same thing!  It’s nice to have a repertoire of DVD’s at home for those snowy nights when the kids are in bed.  And yes, I have had my kids in bed when I do these.  My kids would be confused if they saw mommy moving this way lolz.  If you’d like to buy some, shop Flirty Girl Fitness.

How about it? let’s get flirty, fit and fabulous together.

Thanks to the FRN for the opportunity to test these DVD’s.

Do your children like to sing? Do they like you to sing?  During a recent moms meeting several moms revealed that their kids hated when they sang and asked them to stop.  I couldn’t believe it, my kids have always responded very well to my singing even though I can’t carry a note in a cup. 

I started out singing to all of them very early on and listening to their vocal attempts (attempts because their singing is almost as bad as mine).  We sing all kinds of things like Christmas songs in July and we often sing themes to t.v. shows we like and watch together like the Flintstones and Gilligan’s Island.

As a matter of fact I think there are two different types of people in the world. Those that like music and those that like tv videos.  I like having the CD and we have listened to it a few times in the car but for us, car time is basically quiet time since we don’t travel more than 15 minutes each way it’s a nice time for us to reflect and talk about the things we come across.  If we go on a roadtrip it’s totally different, we need music like fuel, but for everyday we get a lot more use out of the DVD.  girl2004 usually puts in what she wants during tv time and she has stopped Strawberry Shortcake and put in That Baby DVD which is saying a LOT for a 3 year old that loves Strawberry berry much.

For myself, I enjoy having things in our home that cross generations and bring us together as a family, That Baby DVD & CD are just that type of product – classic.  The visuals are stimulating and interesting to young children.  Mine stop and stare at the screen like deer in the headlights.  Need to see for yourself? Check out the sample vid.

I would also highly recommend That Baby CD for grandparent and grandchild together time, I’m already jumping ahead to the holiday season I guess! And while we’re on the forever upcoming holiday season and gift giving… That Baby DVD and CD would be a fab gift for that 2nd, 3rd, or 4th child’s arrival.  It’s technically for the baby but preschool siblings would be thrilled and it would give the new parents some breathing room to care for the new baby.  So think ahead and taking advantage of a great deal just for you on a product that will become ‘That Baby DVD” and “That Baby CD”.
