Come hang out with Arnold, Gerald and the gang for more adventure-filled fun in the big city! Season Two, Part 2 delivers some of the best moments yet when Arnold enters an eating contest, Rhonda gets glasses, Phoebe becomes a power-hungry hall monitor, Helga uses Stinky to make Arnold jealous and more!
Once again, the gang is back in our home and I am reliving Hey Arnold! Zack & Libby have really enjoyed sharing Arnold and his friends with the 4-year-old Alexander. My only complaint is now Alexander refers to everyone as Football head!
Hey Arnold!: Season Two Part 2 features 10 original episodes from the second season of Nickelodeon’s Hit Animated Series on DVD from Shout! Factory.
Be sure to pick up your copy today!

There’s a reason C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia are such an everlasting hit. My theory is that the reason is…closets! In these stories, Narnia is a mystical land that exists inside a wardrobe, which is basically a moveable closet. And there’s just something about that fantastical idea that rings true, isn’t there? I mean, who hasn’t gotten lost inside a messy closet?
Entering a disordered closet can feel like an epic misadventure. I’ve gone to look for something I needed in a jumbled closet and felt like I must have been in there for years before emerging, usually frustrated and empty handed.
Sometimes we go into a messy closet and get so bombarded by the barrage of things inside that we forget what we were originally looking for. Sometimes we end up making a mess outside the closet because there’s so much stuff we need to clear out of there to even begin to find anything or make sense of what’s inside. Sometimes we might even spend hours on what was only supposed to take a few minutes, enraptured by all the forgotten delights and doodads we come upon when we enter that messy little world. Other times we feel so daunted by the prospect of all that might lie within a messy closet that we don’t even dare open it!
Just like the children in The Chronicles of Narnia, we may find entering our own disarrayed closet world to be overwhelming and perplexing at first. However, we can also take a lesson from the brave young characters and take matters into our own hands. In order to make sense of the chaos within that enchanted closet, the children in these stories take the situation by the reins and commit themselves to slogging through all the challenges they might encounter. In the end, they develop strength of character and become the noble rulers of the land of Narnia, which had come to peace and order.
With a little guidance from the famed lore of Narnia, the focus and commitment to plow through whatever challenges we might face, and a few closet organizers to top it off, we can find the inspiration and encouragement we need to conquer our own chaotic closet worlds. You too can become the noble ruler of your closets and run a neat, well-organized kingdom. Trust me, it’ll be worth the adventure.
Back in January, the Alex and I gave each other early Valentine’s gifts. We each received a Nook color to help feed not only our technology addiction but also our addiction to books.
Yes, we both love to read.
Our purchase of 2 Nook colors in one day was made with ease thanks to the Barnes & Noble Coupons we had received in the mail prior to our purchase.
Again, I HATE to pay full price for anything!
Since making our purchase, I have read more books this year than I have in the last 5! Having an e-reader is so convenient not just for reading but also for searching the web as well!
There are also times when there is a book that I just have to have in true book form as well. When these books pop up, I often turn to online retailers like Amazon because I can find them used or I stumble on a great Amazon coupon code to use as well.
For the last few months, I have been purchasing quite a few things from Amazon as well. I bought 3 sets of dishes (2 that we use and 1 for backup in case something gets broken). I finally found dishes that I loved and they happened to priced to sell at under $30 a set and then I found matching acrylic glasses along with a coupon for 20% off…this made my purchase even easier!
I admit, Amazon has been quite an addiction. I am now using it to build a wish list of items I want to purchase for the new house. Alexander has picked out a plethora of Power Rangers items to use to decorate his half of his new room.
Not only am I looking for items for the house and adding them to my wish list but I have also started building a Christmas list of items the kids want too! One of my favorite things about shopping on Amazon is that when I add items to my wish list and they go on sale while they are on it, I am notified of the sale when I log in to the site allowing me to make the purchase early if I need too.
What do you do to save when shopping online?
Filled with music, friendship, laughter and heart, parents and their daughters will want to watch Twinkle Toes: The Movie again and again. This charming story of courage, self-expression and finding the “sparkle” within will inspire Twinkle Toes’ legions of fashionista friends to develop their own talent and achieve their dreams.
The animated star of SKECHERS’ Twinkle Toes footwear line, Grace “Twinkle Toes” Hastings, is a fashion icon for the under-13 set. Hip, flamboyant and original, Grace embodies a combination of sparkle, sass and style, which has made SKECHERS’ Twinkle Toes footwear a favorite of celebrity kids and fashion divas alike. The SKECHERS Kids collection, including Twinkle Toes, is currently the number one children’s footwear brand in the United States.
SYNOPSIS
Twinkle Toes: The Movie is a sparkly, fun-filled adventure that will make audiences want to get up and dance! Grace “Twinkle Toes” Hastings has a big secret: she gets terrible stage fright in front of anyone except her fluffy friend Walter. As Grace works to overcome her fears, and makes some super-cool friends at her new school, she discovers that it’s OK to be herself and shine!
I sat down over the weekend with Libby, Alexander and Miss Ellie to watch Twinkle Toes and found it to be a quite enjoyable flick. It is a great movie for those aspiring dancers in your life and it even got my kidlets up off the couch and dancing along with the movie, especially this scene when Grace AKA Twinkle Toes gets her new shoes.
After seeing my kids get up and dance along and showing more interest in dance, I would recommend this movie to any parent who encourages their child to dance. Both the Alex and I enjoy watching dance shows and hope that someday we can take a dance class or two as well. Until then, I will just keep dancing in the comfort of my home with the kids!
You can find Twinkle Toes: The Movie in select stores or grab it online.
Also, please feel free to download and print this great Twinkle Toes coloring sheet too!
