gMOVIES review and FREE trial and giveaway

I'm excited to share with you a family-friendly place to watch great movies online.  We have watched a couple already, so let me tell you a little of what we thought about it for our family!

The first time we decided to watch a movie, we tried to use Google Chrome as our browser.  Unfortunately, it didn't work well--the sound was great but the picture kept pausing/stopping, so it was hard to watch.  So, we tried to use the KindleFire because we thought we could hook it to the TV and watch it that way.  Unfortunately, that didn't work either.
Then my husband downloaded the app on his Ipad and it worked!  After that we also tried switching browsers to Internet Explorer on my laptop, connected it to the TV, and that also worked!  So, after some trial and error it worked really well!  I'm excited to get the chance to watch more movies...and there are over 300 to choose from!

"Whatever Wanda" book review and giveaway

Sorry, I know it's been a few months again since I posted here on my blog.  But, I'll have a few reviews and giveaways for you in the month of April, so stay tuned!


Today I have a great new children's book to introduce to you called "Whatever Wanda".  This is the third book in Christy Ziglar's "Shine Bright Kids" book series.  Our family also owns the "Can't Wait Willow" book that she wrote a few years ago, and after checking out her website, Benjamin would like to read the "Must-Have Marvin" book as well!  They are very well written about children that have real-life issues (like Wanda's "whatever" attitude in this book).  My favorite part is that at the end of the story the child realizes what needs to change.

Another fun part of this book was finding the pictures of stars on each page.  Benjamin really enjoyed finding them each time we turned a page.  Really, who doesn't like a book that directs our kids' moral compass AND has a fun picture to find on each page?!

Check out this website for more information about Shine Bright Kids.
You can also check them out on their Shine Bright Kids Facebook page.

Now for the fun part for you!  If you would like the chance to win a copy of this book for your own family's collection, just leave me a comment on this post.  I will draw a name and contact that person on Sunday, April 12th.  I can't wait to hear from you!
