March 11th, 2010Webkinz JR.
If any of you have children, I am sure you have heard of Webkinz. These cute little plush toys come with a code that can be entered into the Webkinz website, and your kids can take care of their cat, dog, unicorn (or whatever toy/pet), online as well as real life. For those of you that don’t know, Webkinz are a very successful product, you can find two or three (if not more), in anyone’s house that has children older than 5 or 6. Webkinz is now expanding their line to be more appealing to the younger bunch. Webkinz Jr. is the same concept as the original Webkinz, but the plush toy is bigger and the website is more simple for preschoolers (suggested ages 3 – 6) to use.
I received a Monkey Webkinz Jr. for review. The first thing I noticed about the Webkinz Jr. is that is was much larger than the original. My daughter loves hanging onto her large soft plush monkey, she carries him around the house and says “eee – eee – eee”, like a monkey.
Now, my daughter is still too young to use the computer on her own, but I am sure she will be learning sooner rather than later. A few years ago, before there were many websites for young kids, I recall my cousin’s 3 year old using You Tube to search for Teletubbies videos. I was absolutely amazed at how well she could use the computer, but wasn’t sure if You Tube was the best option for her. Now with something like Webkinz Jr. children can learn important computer skills on a website that is child friendly, so there is no need for parents to worry what their children could stumble upon on the internet.
The Webkinz Jr. websites allows children to take care of their virtual pet to make sure they are happy, and within the community children can learn and play (and probably not even know that they are learning things). They can have fun learning about numbers, reading, and expanding their computers skills at the same time. Parents you can make the online world age appropriate for your kids depending on their learning stage. As your children get older, you can increase the learning levels.
I think it’s great for young kids to have a safe online environment that will teach them computer skills. I also like that there is no need for parents to worry about what their kids are doing on the Webkinz Jr. website.

For review, 
What I like about 
Each item is rolled up really tight to look like a rose, and there are fabric roses and fake leaves surrounding the bouquet which makes it look “real” and very professionally made. The flowers came in a very nice box with a clear plastic cover, which made for easy presentation as a gift. The other option is to take the bouquet out of the box and put it in a vase.
There are so many options at The 
Dan (Robin Williams) and his best friend and business partner Charlie (John Travolta) are on the verge of the biggest deal in the history of their sports marketing firm when their lives are turned upside down by a surprise visit from Dan’s ex-wife Vicki (Kelly Preston). Vicki has big news for Dan—their ever-so-brief liaison produced twins Zach (Conner Rayburn) and Emily (Ella Bleu Travolta), now seven-years-old and in need of a dad to keep an eye on them for two weeks. With only high-living playboy Charlie for support, Dan’s bumbling attempts at “on the job training” in fatherhood result in a series of disastrously funny exploits that lead him to a new understanding of what really matters in life. Featuring an extraordinary cast of comedy purebreds including Seth Green, Matt Dillon and Lori Loughlin, Old Dogs will have audiences rolling over and begging for more.
My husband and I watched this movie together and had some really hard belly laughs, and I even had a few little tears at some points. This movie is great for families as it has no swearing, no violence and no adult content. It’s an excellent innocent movie that they whole family can enjoy. The younger kids will enjoy some of the typically funny scenes (getting hit in the crotch), and there are quite a few unpredictable funny parts that had my husband and I laughing out loud.
Moving on to the next room on my “conversion” list, the bathroom…hmmm, what to do? Where does one start? The best place to start is the thing I use every single day, my bath mat. I received for review an organic cotton bath mat from 
Although it looks and feels similar to conventional plastic the plates, bowls and utensils are made using bioplastic which comes primarily from corn. Yes, corn…Polylactic acid (PLA) requires significantly less fossil resources, and generates far fewer green house gases. Sounds like a good idea to me as every little bit helps our earth.
