THE PAW PATROL HEAD TO COOLER CLIMATES FOR

CHILLY NEW ADVENTURES

 

Pre-order from Amazon for only $9.37

 

You don't have to ask my daughter, Savannah, twice if she wants to help me review anything Paw Patrol, as she is a huge fan.  She can't go a day without wearing something Paw Patrol.  And, at bedtime, most nights she is rocking mismatched Paw Patrol pajamas...sometimes with tops that are a little small, but she can't part with them just yet.  That reminds me, why aren't there any Paw Patrol clothes out there now for girls 6X and above?  Savannah's closet is jam packed with 4 and 5T, but nothing bigger.  Well, while we wait on more clothes for her to show her love for this popular animated series on Nickelodeon, Savannah is happy to add another Paw Patrol to her growing DVD collection.

Before I go any further, Savannah wanted me to remind you all that tomorrow, Friday, is a new Paw Patrol episode on Nickelodeon, so if your child doesn't plan to watch it live, then make sure you set your DVR to record it.  We will be watching it live and then again many for times, thanks to Savannah's Paw Patrol episodes she stores on the DVR. :-)

Back to the upcoming DVD release, which arrives on store shelves on October 24th...this DVD is jam packed with fun Paw Patrol adventures -- 7 full-length episodes to be exact.   Savannah was excited to see Everest on this DVD as she is one of her favorite pups next to Skye and Marshall.  Even though Savannah has already seen these episodes more than a dozen times, she was excited to watch them again.  And, after the first few episodes so stopped to ask when it would be winter so that she could play in the snow.  I guess this DVD got her snow fever.  I, for one, am good with little to no snow for winter, but we live in New England, so expect crazy unpredictable winters and lots of snow into spring.

I tried asking Savannah if she had a favorite episode, but being a huge Paw Patrol fan, she said she liked them all...go figure.  She did point out, though, that out of the few recent Paw Patrol DVDs we have received, this one has a great variety of episodes -- some of her favorites.  She said that if we hadn't gotten a screener to review, she was going to ask to put this DVD on her wish list for Santa, along with her growing Paw Patrol toys she is hoping for.  So, if you have a Paw Patrol fan in your life and want to get a start on your holiday shopping for them, why not consider pre-ordering this upcoming DVD release, which right now is under $10 on Amazon.  It would make a great stocking stuffer...that is, if you can keep a secret until the holidays.  Good luck with that. :-)

Guest Post: Healthier Halloween Treats by EduPlated

"With the pressure on parents to feed their children healthier and nutritious meals and snacks, the Halloween holiday can often result in 1 of these emotions…

1. Utter panic! -> Spending hours on Pinterest and walking the aisles of Whole Foods in an attempt to trick your children with healthy baked goods and organic goodies that will taste as good (or better!) as the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup or Snickers they are likely to bring home
2. Giving up! -> It’s just 1 day of chocolate and candy so what’s the big deal to let them eat what they want?

As a child I remember dreading 2 stops on my Halloween route – my grandmothers house (sorry Gramma!) who only had us to visit her so would give us whatever granola bar she had in her cabinet and this older couple on our block who would smile kindly while putting 20 pennies in our trick or treat bags. I know it sounds bratty but as a kid your very soul CRAVES chocolate, skittles, and all the treats your parents won’t normally let you have when Halloween rolls around! In an effort to avoid crushing your trick or treaters dreams with little bags of carrot sticks we have compiled a list of some healthier alternatives for you to hand out this Halloween season.

Healthier Treats this Halloween

• Annie’s Organic Fruit Snacks
• Mini bags of SkinnyPop popcorn (they also have a sweet flavor)
• Mini bags of Snackwells fudge pretzels
• Sunmaid yogurt or chocolate covered raisins
• KIND Granola bars or Chewy mini granola bars (Gramma was ahead of her time!)
• YumEarth Organic Natural Vitamin C Lollipops
• Organic juice boxes

A gentle reminder that homemade goodies are not a good idea on Halloween no matter how good your intentions are. In today’s world we can’t be too careful (especially with our kids!) so since these will likely be tossed by smart parents save your time and buy healthier packaged options.

New from the Popular ABC Monsters Series from NCircle Entertainment -- ABC Monsters: Starring VWXYZ -- Review and #Giveaway

Disclosure:  I was sent a review copy from the vendor in exchange for an honest review.  All views shared are mine and mine alone.

Buy now on DVD for only $9.99

I have been using the ABC Monsters series with my youngest to help reinforce the alphabet and to help with strengthening her reading and identifying the letters and their sounds.  Out of my two girls, she is the one less eager to read.  So, I am not rushing her as I know she will be reading at her older sister's level in no time, once she develops the passion for reading and learning new words and their meanings.

In the meantime, Bella enjoys one on one time with me as we watch this fun educational series, all about the alphabet, and in this DVD's case, the "W" goes missing.  Preschoolers and toddlers will love this fun animated series that teaches the ABC's in a fun and engaging way.  It has helped Bella greatly in recognizing the alphabet, all while entertaining her with a fun story line.

I highly recommend ABC Monsters for parents, caregivers and even preschool teachers looking to introduce the alphabet to young children and get them excited about learning...even though they don't think it is learning, as the stories pull kids in and keep them engaged from start to finish. :-)

More about this DVD:

"Twenty six cuddly ABC Monsters live within the walls of Capital Castle. Each monster represents a letter of the alphabet, but should any of the monsters go missing for longer than a day, all the letters will be wiped clean from every book in Capital Town!

In this DVD, embark on adventures with Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry to search high and low for the letters V, W, X, Y, and Z. It's a very windy day in Capital Town. After checking the ABC Monsters, it seems that one of them is missing - W-Monster! So Alice, Brian and Cherry Berry head into town in hopes of finding their missing friend, W-Monster. Along the way they meet, Wanda the Weaver, Wendy the Window Cleaner and then Willie Webster. Hopefully, one of them will be able to help Alice, Brian and Cherry Berry find W-Monster during this windy day.

Get set for a spellbinding series of magical adventures that engages preschool children's imaginations, while making learning exciting and entertaining."
