Kai-lan DVD

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

 
Nick Jr has released a Kal-lan DVD!
TwinkleToes loves Kai-lan. Adores her. GlitterGirl has decided it’s a ‘baby show’, but she will still watch it with her little sister sometimes. I’m a bit disappointed that there doesn’t seem to be any Kai-lan merchandise out yet, but I was thrilled to see a DVD for sale.

New Releases

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

There are three books about to be released that I literally can’t wait to read.

 Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) by Patricia Briggs (released July 29)

I cannot stress enough how important I believe these three books are. I will be talking [...]

Parent Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

I liked it. I’ll get that out of the way first. It was an enjoyable movie even for the adults to watch. Of course I’ve been to places in China that look just like the scenery, and climbed the steps of my fair share of temples getting to the top, so I really felt [...]
