Veggie Tales- I Get The Hype Now ~ Review

Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but even though I’ve heard of Veggie Tales and have lots of children in my family, I have never actually seen it or learned what it was about. I was recently contacted to review SweetPea Beauty, and I love this DVD! It features two short movies for children […]

    We LOVE Veggie Tales in our house! Our big little man likes the Larry Boy ones the best where he's a super hero. Little little man doesn't care which one is on, he just likes the music! It's one kids show that I can stand to watch over and over.

    The Veggie Tales Silly Songs DVD is very cute and fun! 🙂

  • Nikki

    I have to say that I watched Veggie Tales even before I had kids. (I'm a children's librarian so I'm always watching/reading kid stuff.) They're just so funny and sweet. I especially loved the Silly Songs with Larry. My favorite was "I Love my Lips" from Dave and the Giant Pickle. It has been a while since I've watched them but now I think it's time to share them with the family. Thanks for sharing your review.

Hands Off!

I was recently strolling with little man down the street when a middle aged man walking in the opposite direction reached out and stroked little man’s face, and kept walking. A stranger, someone I’ve never spoken to before, or even seen before, reached out his grubby hand and touched my son’s innocent face. He didn’t […]

    People used to do that to my brother when he was little until he started doing it back to them. A lady pinched his cheeks and told him "You're so cute!" He then reached up and pinched the lady's cheeks back (hard) and told her "You are too!"

    That sounds gross, inside the mouth – yuck!

    That's funny Shellie! I had a good laugh when I pictured him doing it back to her.

    Yuck! I never had that problem when my children were babies. People nowadays have no common decency!

    People tried to do that to my niece alot, so my sister got smart and started taking me or our mom with her whenever she was out with her kids when they were tiny. That way there was always another person there to help run interference.
    People have no boundaries now a days.

    You could always tell them your child has a very contagious disease and to back-off!

    Thanks, Becky Jane
    Raising kids can be a lot like weeding the rose bed…well worth it, but…OUCH!

  • Penelope

    Shellie, that is funny! Maybe I'll teach little man to do that, lol.

  • Penelope

    Lfh, I generally try to have someone with me, but sometimes I just have to go out alone. I've actually taken to not strolling him anymore, just holding him (all 21 pounds of him) because it makes it easier to block flying hands that are reaching for him.

    Too funny… it's one thing to pet a dog, but to touch a your kid's face is ridiculous. Very odd.

Zubels Organic Toys Review

Little man puts everything in his mouth. Because of this, we try to only by him organic or BPA-free toys. The problem with most organic toys? They tend to be rather muted in color, and as a result he doesn’t find them very interesting or appealing. Usually, he totally bypasses them, making the investment in […]

Mel Gibson Drama

I’m sure many of you have heard about the soap opera that has become Mel Gibson’s life. Married man and father of seven kids, Mel Gibson has an affair with younger promiscuous woman and an out-of-wedlock daughter with her (her second out-of-wedlock child with an actor), causing Mel Gibson’s wife of 30 years to divorce […]

    Such a very sad tale
    and hopefully he will get himself right with God and his family.
    The pain he feels now probably is not much unlike that felt by King David in the Bible when he couldn't keep his eyes off the Bathing Beauty, thereby sending her husband to the front lines, full well knowing he'd be killed.

  • Penelope

    It is a very sad tale, especially for the children involved…all their lives are in chaos now, and it keeps getting worse. Very, very sad!
