I love when I come across a blog that I wish I would have thought of that title.  New Memories is one of those blogs.  Each post gives a glimpse into Anna Glendenning’s life — you know, a new memory.  I love how she is gut wrenching honest.  To be honest, that is the first thing I noticed when I first saw her blog. Every post she does has a bit of her heart and soul written into each one.  This is also the first dark theme that I have seen that is easy on the eyes to read too.  The grey background with the cream lettering actually compliments each other quite well.  She has made it pretty easy to navigate her blog and be able to read her newer posts as well as some of the older ones.  My only complaint is that she needs an about page.  I want to read more about you!  From her header, I have figured out that she has adopted special needs siblings.   However, I want to know more!

New Memories is a blog that I would highly recommend reading.  Though the posts may be a long, they are truly informative and grab your attention to the point you can’t stop reading.

I never thought Braincandy would infiltrate my household like it has. My 4 year old and my 1 year old are absolutely in love with the Hear My World DVD from Braincandy. My daughter (the 4 year old) has begged me to buy the rest of the series. That is how much she enjoys this movie.

Now this DVD does not go by Hear My World in this house.  Instead, it is referred to as the ear movie (can you figure out why?).  The movie is all about the sounds you hear.  There is a lot of singing and they have short little skits.  My kids love it.  The skits are just long enough to hold their attention.  Every time the singing starts, Will (my 1 year old) starts dancing.  It is both cute and funny at the same time.

The great part of these movies is that they are both learning and not realizing it.  Braincandy has won 35 awards and industry endorsements, so they must be doing something right!  I know that Madison goes around singing their theme song “Braincandy” that plays at the beginning of the video.  I know Santa will be bringing some of these videos come Christmas time at my house.  If you need an awesome present, definitely look into getting some of these DVDs.
