Pinkalicious: It's Party Time! For DS

From Victoria Kann, the creator of the wonderfully colorful book series, Pinkalicious, the new Nintendo DS game, Pinkalicious: It's Party Time, is sure to keep your little girl intertained for hours! In this game, you will plan parties for various occasions by making yummy treats, goody bags, beautiful decorations, and invitations. You will choose which neighborhood kids you want to invite and intertain them at the short and fun party. I'd recommend this game for girls 4+. At first your little one might need a little help with reading the instructions but after the first few parties they will catch on. After they complete all of the parties, they can still continue playing, although there won't be any more new themes. There are mini games so that if you don't want to plan a complete party, you can still bake, design invitations, etc. You can also dress your character up in different clothes in different colors under the dress-up section.

The game comes in a pack with a thick Pinkalicious stylus and DS screan cleaner. The stylus is easy to grip, and harder to lose due to it's size and color. The only down side to the size is that in can't be stored in the hole on the side of the console. The screen cleaner makes the screen shiny and smooth. It is a very effective way to clean your screen.

I really recommend this entertaining game that will give your girl the experience of planning a fun party without the cost or mess. You won't be able to get enough of this great game and I hope that there will be another one soon.

Cuddly Classics EarthRite Sock Animals

EarthRite is an eco-friendly company that turns plastic bottles into polyester fiber filling for sock monkeys, dogs, and more! This program is called "Save Our Earth Now". EarthRite is helping our earth by keeping it clean and we should all appreciate that. The toys are very soft and I highly recommend them to kids of all ages!

Despicable Me DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital Copy

Despicable Me is a wonderful family movie about a super-villian named Gru. Another villain named Vector comes along and Gru decides to steal the moon to show that he is the most evil villain in the world. In the middle of all this, he meets girls who he originally uses to steal a tool from Vector, but will these girls change his heart? The voice-cast of Dispicable Me includes Steve Carrell, Miranda Cosgrove, and many more. I highly reccomend this hilarious movie that the whole family will surely love!

The Game Plan

I recently watched the disney movie,"The Game Plan", on TV. It is a family movie about a pro football player that finds out that he has a daughter after about 8 years. He learns how to juggle being a father and being a football player. I really enjoyed this interesting comedy and highly recommend it for your family!

Dear America Series

One of my favorite book series is the Dear America series. It is about girls from different time periods and the circumstances they had to live under. The girls are usually around the ages of 11-14. It's really fun to read the inspiring fictional diaries of girls my age. I highly recommend these books because they have to do with interesting time periods and you never want to put them down. Here are some of my favorite books in the series:

• Survival in the Storm by Katelan Janke
• Dreams in the Golden Country by Kathryn Lasky
• I Thought My Soul Would Rise and Fly by Joyce Hanson

I highly recommend these books! They are very educational and entertaining!

Slither Scooter by Pulse

For the last few days it has been sunny and warmer than usual. This nice weather has alowed me to get outside and ride my Slither drift scooter by Pulse. It is called the Slither because the back of it spins out when you turn and it makes a slithering movement. It is so exciting to ride and I enjoy discovering new tricks and with every time I ride it I get better and more experienced. I think I agree with the recommended ages on the scooter: Ages 7+. I highly recommend the Slither and hope that there will be plenty more nice days to ride it!

P.S. Remember to always be safe and wear pads and a helmet when riding bikes and scooters!
