They Banned the Witches?!?!?!

I found out something tonight that totally broke my heart. One of my favorite books as a child has been banned from schools and libraries. This book is not a bad book at all. I spent many hours reading this book over and over again. I love it. I remember I had a friend who I used to play with and we would act out books. Yes I am a dork. Oddly enough I had a dream last night about this girl. I haven't talked to her since I was like in the fourth grade.  I can not believe they banned The Witches by Dahl. The reasoning is stupid. Something about being sexist and it is violent. Really? All witches are women. That is something that has been a fact since the dawn of time. Ok it is a little violent but not really. They talk a mad game but they are overcome by Luke. This really upsets me to the point of wanting to cry. Noah will read the witches and watch the movie just as I did. I see nothing wrong with it. It's fiction my six year old knows the difference between fiction and nonfiction.  It is not even as scary as Harry Potter or a lot of the books out there.  I never had a Witches nightmare in my life. 

What are the Best Sites to Play Bingo?

Bingo is one of the most popular games in the world. It's like a raffle for fun, and because it is usually played for money, it is considered as a gambling game. As any bingo player will tell you, they don't play bingo for the money. For us bingo players, it's a pastime.

There's something different about the game. It shouldn't be that exciting, except that whenever someone shouts "Bingo" the excitement level in the room goes up. Of course, there's the thrill of anticipation, and the electricity when the numbers keep getting called without anyone shouting "bingo", but when someone does, everyone smiles and then gets excited all over again for the next game.

Shouting "bingo" just means that you've won the game. If you want to be serious about winning, then you have to buy more cards. But whether you play to win or to pass the time, there is no denying the simplicity of the game makes it very popular.

Nowadays, you can play bingo online. The internet has brought it to the home. If I want to, I can play bingo anytime I want, without leaving the house. There are a lot of websites which offer bingo, and you can play with real money if you want to. I typically just go for low stakes. Like in real life bingo places, there are variations of bingo which offer big prizes. Of course, I have to make sure that the bingo website is legitimate. No use of winning if you won't be able to collect the prize. I have been careful and done due diligence because there are scam or fake bingo sites which let you play but actually are just after your money. Not much fun if you don't win every so often.

I started out on online bingo by reading up and doing research on the sites. Bingo gamesite reviews also help. From what I gathered, there are many online bingo sites, but my favorite sites are on this site.

Valentine's Day Presents for Noah

It is almost Valentine’s Day, the day of love. It’s also a huge gift giving holiday, mostly for couples, but also a day you can give your loved ones a reminder of how much you love them.  Growing up my family always gave each other Valentine’s Day gifts. Now that I am a mom, I have carried on that tradition with Noah.  There are all kinds of gifts you can give your Valentine. One of the most popular are heart shaped chocolates. As much as I love candy, I have never cared for heart shaped boxes of chocolate. Mostly because there are only a few pieces I like and then the rest of it gets thrown away.  Another popular gift is flowers. I really like flowers, but they only last for a couple weeks and then they are gone.  I prefer to give and receive gifts that will last for forever, I like to look back and remember when I received a specific present.  Noah also likes to talk about when he received a certain gift. For example, he knows that last year he received a LEGO fire truck for Valentine’s Day. This year I am going to get him something besides LEGOs because he has so many of them. I was really impressed with the 100 Good Wishes Candles; we gave Noah’s teachers so I will definitely look at RedEnvelope for Valentines presents.  I also like to give my mom a Valentine’s Day present because she is my rock and I want to show her how much I love her. I am sure she would love a personalized mug. My mom loves coffee. I know that if I need to leave her a note, the best place to put it is her coffee pot.  I really love shopping at RedEnvelope because the quality is amazing and it always ships fast.  The prices are great too and you can always find RedEnvelope Coupons  to save even more. I can’t wait for Valentine’s Day and spend the day with my son who is the love of my life.
