Favorite Show = Bubble Guppies!

We are sooooo excited!!  We finally found out the girl's favorite show is being released to DVD on May 1st!  We have our DVD pre-order in already on amazon.com and cannot wait!!  Every night before the girls go to bed we allow them to watch 1 episode (30 minutes) and we adore the every minute of that family snuggle time we get!  While we travel on vacation and in the car all we hear about is a cry for "Bubble Guppies!!"  The girls love to color pictures of the cartoons I printed from the show's website too.  We even resorted to using our video camera to tape the show to play on our computers!  If you have an ipad like their Dad you can download right to it and you're all set.  What we really needed was a DVD though from that 6hr Florida plane ride!  The countdown to May 1st is on!! :)

*** NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children ***

Book Description

Publication Date: January 5, 2011

 

"One of the most influential books about children ever published, Nurture Shock offers a revolutionary new perspective on children that upends a library's worth of conventional wisdom. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, the authors demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, NurtureShock gets to the core of how we grow, learn and live.

Released in hardcover in September 2009, Nurture Shock remained on the New York Times best seller list for three months, and was one of Amazon's best selling books for 2009. The book has become a worldwide phenomenon with editions published around the world - in fifteen languages, to date.

In addition to Bronson and Merryman's writings on praise -- first made famous in New York magazine -- there are nine more equally groundbreaking chapters. Among the topics covered:

Why the most brutal person in a child's life is often a sibling, and how a single aspect of their preschool-aged play can determine their relationship as adults.

When is it too soon - or too late - to teach a child about race? Children in diverse schools are less likely to have a cross-racial friendship, not more - so is school diversity backfiring?

Millions of families are fighting to get their kids into private schools and advanced programs as early as possible. But schools are missing the best kids, 73% of the time - the new neuroscience explains why.

Why are kids - even those from the best of homes - still aggressive and cruel? The answer is found in a rethinking of parental conflict, discipline, television's unexpected influence, and social dominance.

Parents are desperate to jump-start infants' language skills. Recently, scientists have discovered a series of natural techniques that are astonishing in their efficacy - it's not baby videos, sign language, or even the richness of language exposure. It's nothing you've heard before"

Sacred Influence: How God Uses Wives to Shape the Souls of Their Husbands

Book Description

Publication Date: March 13, 2007

If you're sick of all the ways you've tried to bring about change in your marriage---the silent treatment, nagging, one-way discussions, or pleading---it's time to set aside those broken methods for a Christ-based approach. This book demonstrates how women can inspire, influence, and help their husbands move in positive directions. Replacing your plan of action with God's leads to a marital transformation where both partners are moving in sync, the way God intended. Gary Thomas draws concepts from his bestseller, Sacred Marriage, and outlines practical applications you can start using today. He also shows how marriages were transformed through these methods employed by real-life women. In these pages, you'll also find a fresh perspective to help you understand your husband: the view of the marriage relationship through a man's eyes. Thomas gives you insider information on how men think, feel, and can truly be motivated.
