Personalized gifts, stories, songs and DVDs for kids

June 16, 2008 by Tricia

I’ve just come across a site that I think parents will love. The site is called Kids Personally and they specialize in personalizing kids DVDS, children’s book , kids songs, gifts and several other items that can personalized.

I’m not exactly sure how they personalized kids DVD but they can actually put pictures of your child in popular DVDs such as Spiderman, Dora the Explorer and other DVDs that are popular right now.

The companies premise is that a child using a book that’s been personalized or listening to a song that’s about them will pay more attention and likely learn more from the story that’s being told. Plus I’m sure it would make a child feel very special if they were to get anything with their name or image on it. I know when I was a kid I felt very special when I was given a name plate for my door that had my very hard to find name on it.

Kids Personally even has items like personalized alarm clocks that sings the childs’ name. How cool is that.

I don’t have any kids, but I do have young nieces and nephews. I think I just found a great site for Birthday and Christmas gifts for them. Visit the site to hear sample songs and view some of the great items. I’m sure you’ll like them.

People are just klutzes! Watch this funny video

June 11, 2008 by Tricia

Well it’s that time of year again when people are pulling out their bikes, teaching kids to ride tricycles or bikes with training wheels and so on.

I found a blooper reel that has a lot of funny (and sometimes painful looking) bike related bloopers. It’s got everything from kids on bikes crashing into things to adults doing dumb things with bikes and even exercise bikes.

Now I’m extremely accident prone. You might remember me taking about falling a lot a year or so ago. I had one accident where I was just walking down the street and for some reason I lost my balance and stumbled and ended up falling flat on my face – severely injuring my chin. It wasn’t funny at the time, but I know I staggered a few feet trying to stay upright and I’m sure if someone had caught it on film it would have been funny on a blooper reel.

I think the worst klutzy thing I ever did was falling down the stairs and landing on my in-laws brand new Delsey luggage. The bags were ok but I was banged up!

Anyway, if you like watching people doing stupid things or making klutzy moves here’s a funny video for you:

Re-living his disco days?

May 28, 2008 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

This guy looks like he’s reliving his disco days and seriously scaring the clubs female patrons!

The look on the girl to the rights face is just priceless. Perhaps this man has even more hair on his back than he does on his shoulders and chest? Maybe that’s why she’s making that face!

My husband just wrote a post on his blog about Disco – and well disco era clothing being back – and I think this photo would fit right into that post perfectly.

Super busy long weekend

May 17, 2008 by Tricia

The other day I wrote a post detailing all of the things we were supposed to do on this long weekend here in Canada. It’s what we call the May two four or more formally the Victoria Day long weekend. Our long weekend came early this year. In my mind it really should be next weekend. In fact it caught me by surprise being so early.

As things go our our Saturday night plans fell through. We were supposed to go over to a friends house for a barbecue, party and perhaps even some early fireworks. Unfortunately our friends mother happened to call him on Friday and reminded him about the birthday invitations that they had on Saturday night. I guess it’s his great aunts birthday and the whole family is getting together for a big shindig.

That’s ok. Chris and I were busy enough today! We’re going to have a busy weekend so we got some gardening work done earlier today. I’m sure we won’t have time to do any gardening on Sunday or Monday! Tomorrow we’re going to a brunch at a another friends and then there’s fireworks on Sunday and Monday night.

I believe next weekend is the Memorial Day long weekend in the US. Do you have big plans for that weekend? And how about my Canadian friends – are you as busy as I am seeing family and friends this weekend?

Free Music downloads with MP3Rocket

May 12, 2008 by Tricia

I don’t listen to enough music these days. We used to have a stereo, but it was old and when we moved to this house several years ago we never set it up. Instead I’d use the radio tuner on our home theater system to listen to the radio or I’d listen to CDs, or music stored on my computer.

Unfortunately, about half a year ago, our home theater system started giving us an overload message whenever we turned it on. We haven’t fixed it or replaced it yet so that means no more radio or CD music through the surround sound system. I’ve noticed that I’ve slowly stopped listening to music over the last few months because of our home theater system being on the fritz.

So earlier today I went searching for music online and I found a site that offers unlimited free music downloads. It’s called MP3Rocket. They have free software that you can download. Within minutes I was able to begin searching for shared MP3 files.

rocket_logo.gif The MP3Rocket software works by connecting to the Gnutella network and it’s very user friendly. I won’t go into all the details of how it works here because there’s a software demo on the main page of the website that explains everything way better than I could in this post!

The only thing I noticed when I was finished installing the software was that it had added an Ask.com toolbar to my Firefox browser. I’d rather know about those things ahead of time and either opt in or opt out during the installation process. It wasn’t a problem though – some of you might actually appreciate the Ask.com toolbar. I’ve already got way too many add-ons for my browser so I simply went to my computers Control Panel, clicked on Add or Remove Programs and easily un-installed the Ask.com toolbar. Simple.

There’s a Pro version of the software too if you want to upgrade. There’s a lot of added features in the Pro version.

I already spent sometime using the software searching for MP3’s earlier today. Now I’m going to spend some more time this evening looking for my favorite bands.
