BabyFirstTV DVDs

Jaden loves to watch tv, especially movies that are geared toward his age; but as a parent, I don’t want to let him sit in front of the tv all day, and if he is watching, I’d rather that he watch something he can learn from.  Of course, he watches all kinds of cartoons, but [...]

Lindsay Brin’s Shed 5 Fast DVD Review/Giveaway

Having children is one of the most blessed events in our lifetimes as moms….we wait 9 months for that precious baby to come along, and when he/she does, we are left with the aftershocks of pregnancy.  I’m talking about the baby fat that we try and try to lose, but it’s often so difficult to [...]

Melissa J’s Thoughts

I had no idea that Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, went through an extremely difficult time in his life when Big Idea and Veggie Tales had to declare bankruptcy (the result of losing a legal battle, that was later overturned in their favor).
