Another Barney DVD from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. I think I will be 102 and they'll still be producing Barney DVD's. For me and my family, that's a great thing. We love Barney and I love to review new Barney products or collections any chance I get. My husband calls me a "Barney Advocate". 

I have decided to keep this DVD and add it to my daughter's Easter basket this year, so unfortunately I cannot give you a full review for this DVD, per say. However, that said- the Mother Goose episode is one of my "most-favoritest" (as my children say) episodes EVER.

The episode is the one where Mother Goose looses her great big book of nursery rhymes. The kids start singing the nursery rhymes to help her remember them all. It's adorable and fun, and perfect for any preschooler.

When my niece Samantha was younger, I remember how much she loved to sing and dance to that episode. She would twirl and whirl, and loved being able to recite the nursery rhymes back to the television and to us. Abbie reminds me very much of miss Sammy, and I know that the Easter Bunny won't mind if mommy slips Barney's Egg-cellent Adventures into her basket this year.

Barney Please and Thank You DVD Review + Giveaway!

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know that my family has a soft spot for Barney. My nieces grew up watching Barney, and so did my son. Three years later, when my daughter was born, I thought perhaps we had grown away from him, but low-and-behold, it's been almost 4 years since then, and we are still loyal to that big purple dinosaur.

Yesterday, Barney Please & Thank You was released on DVD. This DVD contains three Barney episodes: Magic Words, Tea-riffic Manners, and Caring Hearts.

This DVD is a great lesson on teaching good manners to your preschool and goes through all of the reasons why it's important to have good manners.

Barney Book Fair Review and Giveaway!

I have a confession to make. It's rather serious. In fact, it's something that I swore I would never do.. long before the plus sign.. I swore that I would never be a Barney Mom.

My confession is, that not only do my kids adore the big purple dinosaur, but so do I! I love the way the songs and dances captivate the children's attention, the morals and lessons in the stories are wholesome and appropriate, and that I never need to worry about hearing or seeing anything that might make me (or the kids) uncomfortable.

My niece is about 11 years old, and I remember when she was little, how she knew every word and every dance move to every Barney song ever. After Alex was born, the thought of Barney made me shudder, because I couldn't envision listening to him all day the way my sister had with my niece. Alex was about 11 months old and I had a moment where he was starting to chip away at my nerves. The only thing I could think of was Barney. I figured it was worth a shot, so I put it on, and instantaneously he stopped his whining, and complaining, and stared in awe at the purple dinosaur dancing on the screen.

It was absolutely amazing, and from that moment on, I became a Barney Mom. My son loved Barney, and watched every episode, the first full length movie he ever sat through was Barney's Great Adventure. Although it didn't contain the normal fun, educational content, it was a cute movie for a child who loved Barney as much as he did. I grew over the last 6 and a half years, and now sing and dance along to every song with the kids, and enjoy being a Barney Mom!

Now that he's older, he'd never admit it, but he still likes to watch Barney.. Abbie has followed her brothers footsteps and lights up with glee as soon as the first note starts to play.

Recently, we were able to review several Barney DVD new and upcoming releases including, Sharing is Caring, Barney's Jungle Friends, and Barney Book Fair, a new DVD + Book Collection.

From the press release:
Barney’s^™ friends are holding a book drive in the park and you’re invited to attend in Barney’s Book Fair available on DVD since July 14, 2009 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment.
