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. Camp Blockbuster is offering families a creative form of entertainment to help kids keep busy and make they way for the holidays. The Camp Blockbuster Kids Pass is for use in-store and allows for 1 movie rental at a time from the kids section (valued at $.99) at a monthly charge of $4.99. This is a great convenience for those of you that already rent movies for your kids and also you never have to worry about late fees. This new Camp Blockbuster Kids Pass is currently offering is available in 1 month, 6 month and 1 year gift cards making for the PERFECT holiday stocking stuffer or a simple way to bring cheer to kids year around!

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.

Do you have an allowance system for your children in place?
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:
Don’t forget about Una Verse’s friends too. She has the 3 following friends that might make good companions for your child:

When it comes to things my kids do in their free time, I would have to say video games. All four of my children love to play games on the computer, cell phone, iPad, etc. One game that all of my children LOVE is the Ganz Webkinz game. I think the game is pretty cute and I even have an account even though I don’t play it too often.
I was excited to heard about a new game from Ganz called Tail Towns Friends that I knew my 8 year old daughter Hannah was going to LOVE. This is a cute game that can be played through your Facebook account. When you first play the game you are taken through a tutorial that shows you simple steps on how to complete the goals in the game. During the game you are complete the given goals such as planting and harvesting apples and when you complete a goal, you are then given a new goal to complete.
My daughter and I had fun planting apples, harvesting them and also building some storage sheds online for the fruit when it harvests. After I went through the tutorial and some of the goals for the game, I then let her play the game on her own since she didn’t need my help anymore.
What makes this game a little different than then the other games on Facebook is there are actual Tail Towns Friends figurines you can purchase that will unlock the character’s exclusive storyline and “Secret Diary Goals” that helps to give users insight into his/her life.
We received the Baker Takes The Cake figurine which is perfect since I LOVE to cook. I actually have the figurine on my desk and my daughter got to use the Secret Code to unlock the character in her game.
What is neat about the Ganz Tail Towns Friends figurines is when you unlock the character in the game using the secret code, you are also rewarded with an exclusive specialty virtual item. If you or your children have played online virtual games, you know that these exclusive virtual items can be pretty cool to have.
I enjoyed playing this game with my daughter and plan to purchase another Tail Towns Friends figurine for my daughter for the holidays. I think I might have to setup my own account too besides the account I setup for my daughter.
