About Me

I love to shop, listen to music, chat with friends online and enjoy spending time with my family.

What My Kids Love Now

Club Penguin, The Warrior Book Series, Wii Music, The 4th Season of the Brady Bunch, Boy's Life Magazine, Mario Kart, Space Buddies, The Judy Moody Series of books

House Rules

1 Hour of Internet, 1 Hour of Wii, no video games or computer play until homework gets done, at least 20 minutes of reading a day and always be nice to one another

When the Kids Are Asleep…

Northern Exposure, Medium, The Shield, Facebook, Brothers and Sisters (luv it!)

My Biggest Challenge Is:

Finding the strength to finish all my work at night when I am exhausted from the day.

Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • Music: Echo

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    Excellent pop album OK for the whole family to enjoy.

    Leona Lewis might be having trouble in love on this album, but there's no shortage of songs for listeners to love here. A wonderful combination of pop ...

  • Music: "Tik Tok" (CD single)

    I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

    Catchy club song glamorizes drinking and partying.

    Ke$ha has proved she has a strong, powerful voice that's backed up by a devil-may-care attitude and swagger that's usually reserved for the boys of hip-hop. This was immediately evident on her world ...

  • Music: "Empire State of Mind" (CD single)

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    Jay-Z's love letter to the Big Apple. Some drug references.

    Although "Empire State of Mind" has the same bravado you'd expect from Jigga, there's also a sentimental tone seldom heard from the rap superstar. This is Jay-Z's love song to his town. ...

  • Web site: A Walk in the Woods

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    A perfect first step to exploring the great outdoors.

    The beauty of A WALK IN THE WOODS lies in its simplicity. Like a babbling stream or a butterfly silently resting on a flower, this site celebrates all the little wonders of nature. That's no small ...

  • Web site: BAM! Body and Mind

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    CDC's kids' site explains the science behind health advice.

    Information about healthy habits isn't  hard to find. But BAM! BODY AND MIND, the Center's for Disease Control's kids' site doesn't stop there. This site takes visitors on a behind-the-headlines ...

  • Web site: FashionPlaytes

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    Girls can make fashion dreams come true -- for a price.

    FASHIONPLAYTES shouldn't be seen as a site that is going to teach your daughter how to be the next Coco Chanel. Similar to other sites like 

  • Music: I Told You I Was Freaky

    I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

    Silly songs' bawdy humor veers into explicit territory.

    The comedy team of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are a truly likeable pair whose comedy might be bawdy and brash at times, but whose good-naturedness always seems to shine through. There are some ...

  • Web site: Moxie Girlz

    I rate this titleonand give it3.0

    Doll world promotes mix of positive attitude and fashion.

    Spring-boarding off of the premise of fun, creative characters inspired by the Moxie Girlz line of dolls, MOXIE GIRLZ  features a few unique attractions for girls. The weather app is a useful ...

  • Web site: The Troop: Troop Grid

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    TV show's site lets viewers in on behind-the-scenes action.

    For tween fans of the supernatural this site should be the perfect partner to the Nick series THE TROOP, which premiered in the fall of 2009. With lots of video content and back-stories relating to ...

  • Web site: Dora Links

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    Grown-up Dora doll mixes social responsibility with fashion.

    Although the feisty little tomboy Dora the Explorer has morphed into a bit of a fashionista, there is a lot to love about the more mature Nickelodeon character. Because of the doll's ability to ...

  • Music: The Twilight Saga: New Moon Soundtrack

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    Dark, cool tunes OK for kids too young for the movie.

    Like the pairing of Bella and Edward, this soundtrack is the perfect marriage of quality tunes (that could stand on their own merits) and subtle references to the vampire love story. In fact ...

  • Music: "This Is It" (CD single)

    I rate this titleonand give it3.0

    King of pop's posthumous release is a clean tune about love.

    Reminiscent of the sounds found on some of Jackson's biggest hits like "Man in the Mirror" and "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," "This Is It" is a soft R&B inspired ...
