What’s little and yellow and super cute? It’s Wubbzy from the show Wow Wow Wubbzy! He is back in a new Christmas DVD! We really enjoyed watching Wubbzy’s Halloween adventures in Wubbzy Goes Boo.

Everyone’s favorite bendy-tailed buddy pitches in to decorate The Figgity-Fig Tree, fix Walden’s snow sculpture and even solve the mystery of the

When I told Noah I had a new Wubbzy DVD to watch he got so excited. I told him I was going to go get it and he started to follow me up the stairs. I told him to wait down stairs and I would go get it. I heard him saying Wow Wow Wubbzy Wubbzy Wubbzy Wow Wow. I came down stairs with the screener and Noah started jumping up and down as the music started. He was so happy.

He watched Wubbzy’s Christmas Adventure with pure glee during dinner. There was a part where Wubbzy and his friends were dancing. Noah said I gotta get down and dance. I let him out of his little booster chair. He danced happily along. When the dancing was over he came back to the table and finished dinner. He watched intently to see what happened next. Laughing and smiling during the whole screener DVD. It was really fun to watch the screener DVD with Noah and also watch Noah’s reactions to what Wubbzy was doing.

When it was over, He wanted to watch it again. I let him watch part of it again until bedtime. I am pretty sure he was dreaming of sugar plums and Wubbzy and friends. The next morning Noah was sleepy and kind of grumpy. He didn’t want to do anything or watch anything. He was being a little stinker. So I put in Wubbzy’s Christmas Adventure and he was just as excited as he was the first time he saw it. We have grown very fond of the little yellow creature.

Thank you to Anchor Bay Entertainment for providing me with a screener and providing the copies of Wubbzy’s Christmas Adventure for the giveaway!

Santas are at the mall and its only November 9th after all

When I was growing up it was the norm to see that stores had Christmas stuff out the week of Thanksgiving. Santa arrived at the malls that week too usually the day after Thanksgiving. Santa would make his grand and glorious appearance during the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade. I have always thought even then was too early. I like to start thinking about Christmas during December. I start my Christmas shopping then. I understand if a company or store is doing a huge display of lights and that takes time but really…. its not even double digits of November yet.

I am doing some reviews for holiday gift ideas. That is completely understandable. I mean I know a lot of people start Christmas shopping in September or October and a few that are probably already done. You all want to know about cool gift ideas and I want to help you all out. So I wonder what is going on? Why does Christmas and Winter Holiday things get pushed up so much? What is the rush? I know time is flying by but seriously can’t we get more in to November already?

So far I have observed these things…

1.Holiday items in stores- Ok this one isn’t too surprising because it seems that it has been like this for a while.

2. Massive amounts of holiday ads on TV. There were always a few but it is like I am being bombarded by commercials about Christmas.

3. They are advertising a Christmas special to premiere November 17th or something. Why not make more Thanksgiving shows.

4. Santa is already at my local mall. Hello? It is November 9th. Santa’s break gets shorter and shorter every year. Poor Santa!

5. Tonight I noticed that my lovely neighbors have their Christmas tree not only in their home but decorated and lit. That is just plain silly in my opinion but whatever works for them.

6. I must confess I love Christmas Tree cakes so I happily bought a box yesterday.

Time really is flying by it is still November right? I didn’t wake up in the Twilight Zone or anything did I? I don’t remember becoming Sheila Van Winkle. I love Christmas don’t get me wrong I guess outside of reviewing products I don’t understand why Santa is out and trees are lit and decorated.

I still have my Halloween decorations up! We love pumpkins here. I just don’t get eating some week old Halloween candy then following it up with a candy cane while you decorate your tree. I hope I don't sound like Scrooge.

I am very happy to receive any opportunities of products to review and giveaway for the Holiday Season. It is not too early when it comes to the review process.

Klutz Encyclopedia of Immaturity Review and Giveaway- 3 winners


What would you say if I told you the secret of never growing up? I will share it with you. It is a little bit of laughter and the Klutz The Encyclopedia of Immaturity volume 1 and Volume 2. These books are your guide to how to never grow up. You will learn how to live your life with some fun and silliness.

I have noticed that people are too serious sometimes. I think it is fun to be silly sometimes. There is a time for seriousness and a time for fun. I am pretty sure that was what the writers of The Encyclopedia of Immaturity volumes 1&2 were thinking when they started writing the series. Klutz makes all kinds of fun books. I have loved all of the ones I have seen or owned. I have always been a huge Klutz fan. I am sure you remember my post about my favorite cookbook from my childhood. Growing up my family and I had a couple other Klutz books as well. We had the book where you get a dollar refund to make things out of money. We also had the Cat’s Cradle book where you made things out of string.

So, when I had the opportunity to review The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 I was excited.The Encyclopedia of Immaturity series is for ages 9 to 99.The Encyclopedia of Immaturity has been such a hit that Klutz is following up with a second book! The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 includes thought-provoking topics such as how to slide down a banister, what we talk about when we talk about wedgies, how to send a toiletgram, and more. It’s all new and all hopelessly goofy.

There are all kinds of fun things in the book like how to give your mom a diamond ring that only costs $1.10. There is a fool proof way to put a “kick me” sign on someone with out have to slap or pat them on the back. If only I thought of that. Wanna learn how to eat scabs? When I saw that page I thought well that’s charming. No really it is. It sounds pretty good. Hint: It’s not real scabs.

I really enjoyed reading through this book. It has a lot of great ideas on how to not act my age. Which is something everyone needs to do every once in a while. My favorite thing in the book is Blindfolded Makeovers. I think that would be a lot of fun to do with a mother or a friend. Make sure you take lots of pictures. I have a picture of my mom from when I was growing up where I did a horrible job on her makeup and it still makes me laugh. There is really something for everyone. It is not just for kids. Even if you are 9 or if you are 99 you will enjoy this light hearted book full of tricks, secrets and tips.

Thank you to Klutz for sending me a copy of The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 and providing the giveaway prizes too.

I have a giveaway for you all!
