We’ve recently started watching The Backyardigans on Nick Jr.

The show is very cute and is all about five friends who play in their backyard and use their imagination to create the story.

Each episode is set to a different musical style and is choreographed – the songs are great!

Our favorite has to be Mission to Mars featuring the voice of Alicia Keys!

The show is just made for toddlers – singing, dancing, silly jokes – but, my favorite part of it is that they use their imagination!

Our baby girl loves the show and always jumps around and dances along. She also has learned just about all the songs. I think she believes Tyrone is her boyfriend. She sure does pretend to talk to him on the phone a lot.

Another favorite of ours is The Legend of the Volcano Sisters.

Here’s a little sample:

Does your son/daughter watch this show? Which episode is your/their favorite?

I think those Mac vs PC commercials are hilarious…

But….

Here’s a spin on it

No offense to you Mac users – just thought it was funny

I’ve posted some cartoons in the past relating to pregnancy and motherhood which I think are cute and make me smile. They are done by Everyday People Cartoons. There are cartoons on plenty of other subjects too. Here’s another one I like – well this one is also on mommyhood, but if you check out the website, I promise there are other subjects as well!

Now, I especially like this one because I do this all the time. :gasp: Oh no! How horrible of me – babies shouldn’t watch TV until at least age 2, right?! Whatever. Baby girl loves her Baby Einstein and other Disney shows. I’ve watched them all and since they all teach something in the process, I doubt I’m rotting her brain too much. Besides, she doesn’t get that much time in front of the TV, only for times like these where you just need a moment to get dinner going, or need to run to the bathroom, or need to make a call, or – hmmmm, they seem to be adding up. Anyway, you get my drift. I’m really not that bad. I do read to her, play with her, and such, all non-TV activities. I’m not such a horrible mother, then, right?

I think most of you will appreciate this cartoon – especially those of you who have a business at home.

Isn’t that cute? Now stop laughing and get back to work!

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I got this cute little picture in a forwarded email. I got it towards the end of my pregnancy which was great because that is EXACTLY how I felt! It was nearly impossible to walk and breathe and never mind sleep. I can remember piling up the pillows – I had a pillow behing my back, under my knees, under my belly – nothing helped. Nevertheless, we (dh, baby, and I) all got through it and all is well.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the pic with you – it still makes me smile. If any of you are currently pregnant, hang in there, you’ll get through it!
