While I missed the Bratz frenzy when they first came out (yes I know I am dating myself). And for a while I thought Peyton had missed it too. But she didn't! Many little girls are going to be happy to know that Bratz dolls are back! And they have new webisodes on YouTube! So what's new with Bratz? Well, now the dolls are combined with digital play! That's right, your child can play with her favorite doll in a digital world. And what really neat is the child gets to create the world! This ...

Zootopia: A Place Where You Can Be Anything
Last night Peyton and I were lucky enough to get into a sneak peak of Zootopia! And when I say we were lucky I am not kidding. The place was packed! When we arrived an hour and a half before the start time the line had already formed. There were about 50 people ahead of us. And here I thought we were going to be the first ones there. Boy was I wrong. All the children in line were extremely excited to see Zootopia. Peyton has seen numerous trailers for the movie and her favorite character is ...
Bear Snores On
Peyton loves theatre so I try to take her to whatever performances we can get to. Stages Theatre is one of our favorite places to attend shows at. Why? Because the actors and actresses are children! Yes, there are some adults but for the most part there are kids acting at Stages and putting on incredible performances. Last weekend we took in Bear Snores On. You may have read the book, Bear Snores On, it's very popular in the preschool and kindergarten crowd. Peyton was thrilled to see one of her ...
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with PBS Kids
I remember when the only choice for weekday children shows was PBS. I grew up watching all the greats like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers Neighborhood. But now there's so much more variety on PBS for little ones. There are even special themed Valentine's Day episodes. Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood Would You Be Mine? and Word World Be My Valentine's are both themed for Valentine's Day and geared towards teaching children while entertaining them at the same time. Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood ...
Blaze and the Monster Machines Dinosaur Rescue
If you have a young child at home I am sure you have heard of Blaze and the Monster Machines. The first time my daughter saw Blaze and the Monster Machines on Nick Jr she was addicted. She loved the show. Peyton would rush home from school and ask me to see if it was on. If it wasn't she would head straight to her iPad and watch it. This went on for a few weeks until she'd seen every episode she could get her little hands on. Then we, I mean she, discovered Blaze and the Monster Machines ap on ...
Enter to Win PASSION Salvation’s Tide Is Rising CD
In our house we always have a radio on. But ever since I had my daughter a few years ago I really started to notice lyrics. And lets just say today's Top 40 is not always the best music to have on for little ears that are listening. What I used to once think was a catchy song (because I never paid much attention to the lyrics) I now know is full of sexual innuendos or violence or other inappropriate situations a child should not be listening to. But as an adult I can only take so many lullabies. ...
