Happy Holiday WordFriends DVD Review

We love educational TV. It takes up most of the TV time when Little Man is home. And WordWorld on PBS Kids is definitely a favorite.

We recently had the opportunity to watch Happy Holidays WordFriends, a 33 minute DVD containing two holiday episodes of WorldWorld.About the DVD
In "The Christmas Star", Duck attempts to lasso a star for his friend Frog to put on his Christmas tree. While it doesn't work out quite as Duck hopes, in the end Frog gets his S-T-A-R.

In the second episode, "A Christmas Present for Dog", the WordWorld friends excitedly receive their presents on Christmas morning. But poor Dog only has B-A-L. Something is missing! But as always, the WordFriends work together to build a word.Our Thoughts
Happy Holidays WordFriends was a fun DVD, perfect as we prepare for the holidays. With Little Man in kindergarten, he's been working hard on learning to spell new words. The show is a great reinforcement. This is one show I'm happy for him to watch.

Buy It
Happy Holidays WordFriends is available at NCircle Entertainment for $5.99.

Thanks to NCircle Entertainment for providing a copy of the DVD for our review.

Trident Layers Review

I've been hearing buzz about Trident Layers for the last few weeks. And ironically as I started typing this the "Sure, you can pay me in gum" commercial started playing on the TV behind me. After hearing how good it was over and over, I finally had the chance to try it for myself.

Well, let me rephrase that. Hubby tried all but one piece of the Green Apple and Golden Pineapple flavor. Being oh-so-generous, he left me a single piece to try. Luckily, the Wild Strawberry and Tangy Citrus pack had been hidden away in my purse before he knew it existed.

About Trident Layers
The new Trident Layers gum is described as a "gumwich," as it combines two real fruit flavors with a visible middle layer. Trident gum is sugar free, as always, and the packs include 14 pieces each.

Trident Layers can be purchased at convenience, mass merchandise, grocery, and drug stores for about $1.49 per pack.

What did we think?
Obviously, hubby was very fond of the Green Apple and Golden Pineapple. I'm more partial to the Wild Strawberry and Tangy Citrus. The fresh flavors and the combination of tastes work very well together.

I'm also impressed with the new packaging. Ever had a pack of gum dump out in your purse? And every single piece collects the gross crumbs lurking on the bottom? {Okay, I'm hoping I'm not alone there.} Well, the Trident Layers comes in a fold up, resealable pack. Perfect for carrying when you're out and about.

Hubby and I are both now hooked on Trident Layers. I think he may be getting a few packs in his stocking this year. And then maybe he'll leave mine alone!

Thanks to Trident for contacting us and providing samples for this review. While samples were provided, all the opinions are our own.

Momma, can you come up and air out my squishy? {aka his pillow}
What's wrong with it?
I tooted on it.


Just one of the joys of raising boys.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm cut out for this.
