Camp Blockbuster Kids Pass Review & Giveaway

by 128 Comments

When it comes to things I watch on my TV screen, its usually either something on my DVR that I have recorded or I watch one of my DVD’s or Blu-rays from my quickly growing movie collection at home. I pay for cable mostly for my kids, but I do watch my shows I have recorded in the morning before my son wakes up.  🙂

Even though I have cable TV and I have more movies that I know what to do with, I still LOVE to rent movies.  There is just something fun about going to Blockbuster  and finding something to watch. I of course always end up with some goodies for the movie too! Since my kids like to rent movies when I rent a movie  I was happy to find out about the Camp Blockbuster Kids Pass. This is a pass that allows you unlimited rentals for kids for only $4.99 per month.

Now that it is now the Fall season, we moms are looking for new ways to entertain our children since they won’t always be able to play outside depending on the weather.

My Job Chart – A Free & Easy Online Chore Chart & Reward System For Kids

by 29 Comments

One thing I always hear my husband tell the kids to do is their chores. I know they probably shouldn’t need to be reminded all the time, but without reminders sometimes I think they like to pretend to forget. I think maybe if they had an allowance system like some children do, they might have more motivation to do their chores. We don’t have an allowance system, but my children are definitely rewarded. I like to take family trips or spoil them by buying them something they have been wanting. I seem to think my children are a little spoiled, even though I don’t have to hand them over any cash.

For many families and maybe even yours, there is an allowance system in effect for your kids. For me, I think that when there are rewards to be given for something, the reward might bring help increase the motivation. For those of you that like to reward your children for their chores, you have to check out My Job Chart. This site offers a very COOL and FREE online chore chart. You can also setup a reward system with the online chore chart to help teach your motivate your children to earn and save money.

To see how the My Job Chart system works, watch the video below:

 
With is neat with My Job Chart is  you can setup a profile for each of your children, then setup their individual chores. When they complete their chores, they earn points that they can redeem for things they want from the Amazon store place. Since I do a ton of shopping on Amazon, I was excited to see that they if I use My Job Chart, my children will be able to purchase through Amazon too!

A great benefit of using My Job Chart is, not only will your children be more excited to do their chores, they will also be receiving some hands-on learning about the ABCs of prosperity that include saving, sharing and spending. When parents see their children using the system, they can receive the satisfaction of seeing their kids gain the foundation skills of a strong work ethic and financial responsibility. Take a peek at this screenshot to show you a little on how it works:

When your children use My Job Chart, not only can they spend the money they have earned, they can also use their money to share and donate to charities like Heifer International and Operation Smile that are needing to be rewarded too! I think this feature is awesome and I hope to see lots of kids sending some sort of donations to others in need.

Does Your Family Have A Safety Net In Case Of Emergencies?

by 17 Comments

When I hear the word Aflac, I always think of a duck but I also think of supplemental medical benefits. I am a mom and I have been without medical insurance in the past and it can be pretty scary. My first experience was an unexpected emergency room visit with my first daughter that had me in debt that took some months to pay off. I then had another emergency medical situation with one of my other daughters that I ended up with a doctor bill that I wish I didn’t have to pay. …

Novi Stars Una Verse Doll Review

by 75 Comments

So there is this new doll line that is really CUTE. I always seem to get a little jealous that some of these dolls today weren’t available back when I was a child.  These new dolls are the Novi Stars dolls and they are all really CUTE in their own out of the world kinda way.

Last month Hannah received the Novi Stars Una Verse doll for review and she couldn’t wait to take it out of the box.

Now this is a pretty cool and unique doll if you ask me. I like glitter like most girls and the body of the Novi Stars Una Verse is filled with floating glitter in water. Una Verse’s hair is white with blue streaks and she also comes with a glow in the dark stand.

Here are some other neat features about the Novi Stars Una Verse:

  • Comes with a cute pet
  • Glitter eyes with planet icon and glitter eyelashes
  • Spiral antennas
  • Package handle can turn into an antenna headband for you

Don’t forget about Una Verse’s friends too. She has the 3 following friends that might make good companions for your child:

  • Alie Letric – This doll has an translucent green body and lights up in multiple cosmic colors with the push of a button on her backpack
  • Mae Tallick – She really talks! She has a robotic voice and says cosmic phrases that can be activated by pushing a button on her ear
  • Ari Roma – This chic is scented and has her own bubble-gum scented atmosphere
