Baby Happy Baby Sad and Higher Higher by Leslie Patricelli

by Leave a Comment

Baby Happy Baby Sad

I’ll admit I wasn’t familiar with Leslie Patricelli’s work before I received these two books, but I’m very happy to have been introduced to it. The two books that we received are beautifully illustrated and engaging for my kids.

Baby Happy Baby Sad was a big hit with my baby. The board book format is perfect for his chubby little hands, and he enjoys flipping through and watching the baby alternate between happy and sad moments.

Higher! Higher! was preferred by my almost-three-year-old and four year old. They love to sit together and flip through the colorful pages, and it’s the perfect way to pique their interest in reading because they’re not overwhelmed with too many words per page.

If you’re searching for books that you can sit down and actually read with your children, then these are probably not the books for you. However, if you’re looking for a way to occupy and captivate your children and perhaps spark an interest in books during quiet time, these are perfect for that.

Ready 2 Rumble Revolution Review

by Leave a Comment

r2r_logoMy family had high hopes for Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution. We’ve all enjoyed playing the boxing game that comes on the Wii Sports disc that comes with the console, and after hearing the hype about how awesome Ready 2 Rumble Revolution was going to be before its release, we were excited to play a game that expanded upon the Wii Sports version.

Sadly this game did not even begin to deliver on our expectations. After watching our kids grow increasingly frustrated while playing it, we decided to give it a try for ourselves. My husband was ready to toss his Wii-mote through the TV screen about 5 minutes into the game. The characters do not respond to the controller movements in a synchronized way at all. In fact, at one point we just set the controller down, yet the character on the screen continued to dance around and perform various movements.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution as a worthwhile purchase. However, I do wholeheartedly endorse the Wii. It’s a fabulous way to bring the whole family together for a fun activity.

Go Green with Kroger Giveaway: $25 Gift Cards

by

Win a $25 Kroger Gift CardLooking for another green freebie? Well, look no further. Kroger wants to give you a reusable shopping bag just for entering their reusable shopping bag contest. All you have to do is design your own reusable shopping tote, and they’ll credit your Kroger card for the cost of one of their bags.

Even better? When you submit your design, others will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite design. Great prizes will be awarded to the top 10 bag designs, with one lucky designer winning a $1,000 Kroger gift card and the chance for their bag design to be sold in stores. Judges will also select four finalists who will receive $250 Kroger gift cards and five runners-up who will receive $100 Kroger gift cards!

How’s that for an incentive to go green? And yes, that’s my not-so-creative bag pictured above.

Need another incentive?

Kroger has generously given me two $25 gift cards to pass on to two lucky winners to help draw attention to their green efforts. I hope you’ll all take a minute to create a bag and submit your design!

How can you win?

Share your biggest barrier to using reusable shopping totes. Is it hard to remember them? Do you have difficulties bagging your items? Would a small credit for using them be an incentive? Can you think of any ways to solve the issue? I’m just interested in your thoughts on the whole issue.
