NEW! Thomas and Friends DVD in stores now! Win one here!

Thomas & Friends: Thomas in Charge!Thomas & Friends: Thomas in Charge! hit stores on July 12th.  Suggested retail price is $14.98 (though Amazon has it for $10.99 right now).


Clickity-Clack, Thomas is back in exciting, engine-packed adventures! Thomas and his friends are preparing for the Railway Inspector’s visit to Knapford Station.  But when the coal trucks crash, covering Gordon in soot, can Thomas take charge and help straighten out the mess?  Find out as Thomas charges full steam ahead into fun!

The thing I love most about Thomas and Friends DVDs is that they teach good life lessons.  The trains make mistakes and learn from them or the get into situations where they have to make the right choices to get themselves out of it.

My favorite episode in this one was O The Indignity.  Which, if you watch a lot of Thomas, you know that that is Gordon's "phrase".  He is a mighty, proud engine that pulls the express and loathes anything he deems below him (that's not "dignified", he says.)  So when he is the only engine available to take the place of broken-down Scruff at the garbage dump, he is mortified.  "Scrunching garbage" is definitely beneath him!  So every time an engine arrives at the dump with garbage, Gordon hides.  As a result, none of the work gets done and Sir Topham Hatt is very cross with Gordon because that day, the work at the dump was the most important work on Sodor!  Gordon learns that to be a "really useful engine" you must do the work you are given whether you think it's "dignified" or not!

NEW! Timmy Time DVD giveaway!


The fun and learning never stops when Timmy, of new preschool series Timmy Time™, is ready for his close-up! The all-new Timmy Time: Picture Day! comes to DVD June 28, 2011 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment just in time for back to school. Whether struggling to keep clean for class photo day, celebrating the color blue, jamming with the school band or just playing with his pals, you know you’re in for a barnyard-sized bunch of hilarious antics and adventures with Timmy!

With slapstick humor yet not a single line of dialogue, Timmy Time follows a day in the life of a preschooler where they learn lessons about friendship and trial and error to which every young child can relate. Timmy Time airs weekdays (5:30 a.m. and 7:15 a.m. ET/PT) on Disney Channel’s Disney Junior programming block for kids ages 2-7 and their families, airing in more than 99 million U.S. homes.

DVD SYNOPSIS:
Come along for a picture perfect day of fun with your preschool pal Timmy! The Oscar®-winning creators of “Wallace and Gromit™” and “Shaun the Sheep™” will make you smile in these fun-loving adventures featuring Timmy and his nursery friends. From good, clean fun during school photo day to drumming up music lessons, these wonderful stories filled with surprises will have you laughing in a flash. So snap up these five adorable tales with a big focus on fun!

“Snapshot Timmy” - It’s time for the class photo, but Timmy just cannot keep himself clean – jumping into puddles, kicking muddy footballs and getting splattered by jam sandwiches!

“Timmy Wants The Blues” - Timmy is having a blue day, collecting all the blue toys, blue cushions and blue paint. But when it comes to painting a picture, he quickly discovers he’s going to need more than just one color!

“Timmy Wants The Drum” - During a music lesson, Timmy decides he wants to play the drum! But when it is given to Yabba, and a triangle to Timmy, he goes about trying to get the drum for himself...

“Timmy’s Puppet” - On his way to preschool, Timmy’s homemade sock-puppet falls out of his backpack. Poor Timmy doesn’t realize until he arrives to see everyone playing with their own puppets! Crestfallen, he begins an unsuccessful search until Harriet offers to help him make a new one.

“Timmy The Builder” - Following Otus’s example, the class begin building dens for themselves. Otus offers to help Timmy with his, but Timmy’s pride gets the better of him – he can do this on his own! However, the little lamb soon has to admit that two heads may be better than one...

Find Timmy on Facebook or on the Web

Buy it: Timmy Time: Picture Day will be available at most retailers on June 28, 2011 for $14.98.

Win it! Leave me a comment telling me what you did (or will do) to get your preschooler ready for their very first day of school! Leave your e-mail address with your comment!

Thomas and Friends: The Birthday Express review and giveaway!


It's no secret that we are BIG Thomas fans around here! Need more proof? So taking Bug's opinion of the new Thomas & Friends: The Birthday Express might be a little biased. :)

I, on the other hand, have a more objective opinion. I was delighted to have some fresh Thomas stories to watch. Since we are a no cable household, we are limited to what's on Netflix and our DVD's. Which is an adequate selection for a normal person, but if you have a child that only watches ONE show 98% of the time, our Thomas episodes (both on DVD and Netflix are well worn and well-memorized. Bug's only 2.5 and he'll start telling me what's coming up next on a particular episode. I've even caught Hubs humming a tune from one of the episodes (and he's not around nearly as much as I am to watch it!)

Thomas & Friends: The Birthday Express comes packaged with a wooden train whistle which Bug loved! He'll blow it and say, "That's Gordon's whistle." And he'll blow it again and say, "That's Thomas' whistle." Again and again and again.

I loved how all the episodes on this DVD were all about parties - mostly birthdays (I think there was one "holiday party" episode). Because it comes with the wooden train whistle decorated with balloons and "Celebrate with Thomas" painted on it AND it's about birthday parties, I think it would make a great birthday present for a train-loving child!

The episodes were good. I had a chuckle at the "twist" in the episode about Thomas' mystery passenger. And in the episode about Percy's "special special", Percy figures out how to fix a problem that he created. And when Freddy finds out that Colin the Crane has never been to a party (because he's a crane and the docks and he can't move like the trains can), Freddy rushes around Sodor and enlists the help of others to move the holiday party to the docks for Colin. It's a good lesson on thinking of others.

I'm always pleased with the morals and life lessons in every episode of Thomas and Friends. As tired as I get of hearing, 'They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight, shunting trucks and hauling freight. Red and green and brown and blue, they're the really useful crew..." (yes I just did that from memory and yes, I'll be singing it all day now...) I know that there are worse things Bug could want to watch on TV. I'm glad he picks Thomas!

Buy it: Thomas & Friends: The Birthday Express is currently $12.99 at Amazon right now.
You can also print a $2.00 coupon for Thomas & Friends: The Birthday Express if you want to purchase it in-store!


Win it! You can win your own copy right here!

Facebook Fan Referral Contest!

I REALLY want to get to 3000 fans on Facebook! (I'm at 2602 right now!)

So I'm going to have a Facebook referral contest!!

The person who refers the MOST people to my Facebook page will win $10 in cash (via Paypal) & a big coupon prize pack.

The second place prize is $5 cash a big coupon prize pack.

And I'll do three smaller envelopes of coupons for the next three.

Here are the rules:
  1. Individuals on Facebook may participate. "Fan Pages" cannot. Feel free to tag or share a link on your personal page to refer your friends to "like' my page. Please do not refer people from your fan page for this contest (you may refer them to my page but just not for the contest!)
  2. Each new "fan" needs to leave a comment on my wall with the name of the person that referred them. That's the only way I can keep up with who has made the most referrals. Again - real name - NOT the name of a "Fan Page"
  3. A new fan that you refer may also participate by referring people.
  4. Only "new" likes will count. Getting someone who has already been a fan (prior to the start of the contest - 11pm cst on 6/14/11) to post they were referred by you will NOT count. I can sort my "fan" list by newest likes so I can check this!
  5. The contest stops when I reach 3000 or when I call it over. (If I happen to not be online when I reach the 3000 mark then referrals can continue until I post that the contest is over)
  6. This contest is in no way endorsed, sponsored or affiliated with Facebook!
  7. When the winners are picked I will post it on the blog and Facebook and give you 48 hours to respond.
So, if you haven't already liked my Facebook page, you might want to do that right now!

Great Giveaways!

Animal Crossing; City Folk Wii Game Giveaway


Have you heard about my Wii? :) I love it!

Would you like a game for Wii? I have a copy of Animal Crossing: City Folk that I want to give to one of YOU!

Here is a little about the game:

If you were given the keys to your own community, what would you do? Go fishing, collect shells or watch fireworks with friends? Take a trip to the city, go on a shopping spree or visit friends from all over the globe? In the Animal Crossing: City Folk game, life moves at a relaxed pace, but the world brims with endless possibilities. Animal Crossing: City Folk is now available as a part of the Nintendo Selects collection of Wii games. Nintendo Selects are a set of fun, family-friendly games that millions of people have already experienced and are a great value at a suggested retail price of $19.99.

FEATURES:

Catch fireflies in the summer, go trick-or-treating on Halloween or hunt for eggs on Bunny Day.

There you can catch a show at the theater or check out the sales at Gracie’s boutique.
