Frances: Bedtime For Frances DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

The award winning book Bedtime For Frances is a fun addition to your library. The hard-bound book has the DVD inside. What a great bonus. The book originally debuted in 1960 and received the "Notable Children's Book" award from The American Library Association.
Frances is a fun-loving preschooler. Her parents and baby sister help to complete their family. I love how the dynamic of their family is fairly typical of a family with a toddler and baby. The girls are great friends and play together often. But there are also times when Frances can't stand having to miss out on things because of her baby sister. I also love the episode when Frances just won't go to bed. I can relate with her exhausted parents, because we've had days like that too.
I have to say, this is probably my sons favorite DVD. It has been since we've received it. We have watched it so many times, he could probably quote it line by line for you. He loves it.
One of the neat parts of this DVD is the classical music that they've incorporated into it. Frances loves to sing and dance. I enjoy all the songs she sings to the tunes of classical pieces. They are quite catchy and fun.
Also included on this DVD is an interactive Read-Along of "Bedtime for Frances", a character gallery, and a bonus episode of Fifi and the Flowertots. It is targeted at children 2-5 years old. And it runs for about 47 minutes. I would recommend this DVD to any young children.
Buy It: You can get your own copy of Frances: Bedtime for Frances in stores now or online too.
Win It: I have two (2) copies of this DVD to giveaway to you lucky readers.
To enter: Leave a comment here. (That's it, I'll make it simple this time.) You must also leave your e-mail address, so I can contact you when you win.

Bob The Builder ON SITE: Skyscrapers DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)
His favorite Bob the Builder videos are the newer ON SITE ones with real live machinery. Just like the newly released Bob The Builder ON SITE: Skyscrapers. My son loves the live action. And he learns so much from watching things being built too. He knows way more than me about it.
In Bob The Builder ON SITE: Skyscrapers Bob and his crew learn all about building big, tall, huge buildings- skyscrapers. From laying the concrete to putting in elevators, you will learn it all. And you'll even see all about parking garages.
Shortly after we first viewed this DVD, we stayed downtown of a larger city near us. My son was in awe of the skyscrapers. He was pointing so many things out about them. I was shocked at what he'd learned in such a short time. Then are soon as we parked, he knew we were in a parking garage. He loved every minute of it. And I loved hearing about all the things he knew. What a personal adventure for us.
The Bob the Builder ON SITE: Skyscrapers DVD has some neat features too. There is a "Build It with Bob" Puzzle, "Trivia Tune Up", and of course a bonus episode of Roary the Racing Car...which we love too.
The target age is 2-5. And this DVD runs about an hour.
And you can let you kids watch a preview of this video online here.
Buy It: You can get your own copy of Thomas & Friends: High Speed Adventures in stores now or online too.
Win It: I have two (2) copies of this DVD to giveaway to you lucky readers.
To enter: Leave a comment here. (That's it, I'll make it simple this time.) You must also leave your e-mail address, so I can contact you when you win.

Hip-T Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)



I like that I can get good coverage and always feel modest without worrying that it will slip.
I like that I can wear something under all my shirts...without the added bulk of another shirt. This is especially great with the warm summer weather approaching.
And one of the biggest selling points for me was this: THEY CARRY PLUS-SIZES! Hurray! Big girls (like me) need to cover up just as much as everyone else. Their sizes go from XX Small (Youth size 10-12) all the way up to 3XL (24-26).

When I was choosing a size, I asked one of the owners about it. My normal size falls between two of their sizing options. She suggested going for the smaller of the two. I did, and I'm happy that she told me that. I even think next time I might try one size smaller. I always feel like it's a bit stretched out after I wear it for a long time.
These wash well. They are very comfortable to wear too. I can't wait to go out and buy some more. And lucky me...there is a local shop that carries these. But it's super easy to order them online too.
With all the color options, I could wear one of these with each outfit I own. I did, however, choose the white lace Hip-T. It goes well with many of my shirts. It was a good choice for me. I think the next one I get will be a plain black one.
Buy It: You can get your own Hip-T on their website or search for a store that carries them in your area.
Win It: The wonderful owners at Hip-T have offered to give away one Hip-T to a winner here. The winner will get to choose which one they'd like to receive. Believe me, you're going to love this!
Pay Attention for your chances to WIN!
To enter: Leave a comment here telling me which Hip-T you would choose if you won. You must also leave your e-mail address, so I can contact you when you win.
Extra entries: If you'd like to, you may earn extra entries for doing each of the following. Be sure to leave a separate comment for each. You must do the above entry first, then you can do these too.

Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutt DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)
Fridays are usually a lazy day at my house. My son and I will stay in our pajamas longer. I'll let him watch more movies or play longer than usual. There aren't very often pressing matters to be done on Fridays.So this Friday we were really excited when UPS dropped off a new movie for us first thing in the morning. (Let me just say here, it pays to have a neighbor that drives for UPS!) We made plans to watch our new movie in the afternoon with a big bowl of popcorn.
We got hooked on Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutt right from the beginning. The first observation that Zachariah made was "That dog can talk!" Ha ha, he was stating the obvious, but his reaction was too cute.
Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutt is being released on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on Tuesday, May 19th at stores everywhere. The characters from previous Dr. Dolittle movies such as Maya Dolittle and Lucky, her pet dog, are back again.
Maya Dolittle is pursuing her dream to be a veterinarian. She is getting ready for college. But her need to help animals NOW takes her another direction. She heads off to Hollywood actually, even against her mother's advice. But it's all in the name of helping animals.
What Maya doesn't realize in her search for meaning is that things aren't always what they seem. Especially when it comes to Hollywood agents who are just out to make a buck. Luckily for her, the animals are all on her side.
This is a great family movie, and I think it is good for any age. My 3 year old loved all the animals in it. And it was cute and funny as well.

This DVD has a bonus episode of Roary the Racing Car on it too. It also features a What's That Sound? Game and "If You're Happy and You Know It" Sing-Along.
Barney's Top 20 Countdown DVD runs about 52 minutes. Barney is targeted at children ages 1-5.
