One of the movies that Madison loves is 3-2-1 Penguins! Save The Planets! This movie follows the galactic adventures of two young kids and four space-traveling penguins. They respond to distress calls from across the galaxy. While helping others, they learn life lessons and values along the way. There are 3 stories on this DVD. However, my favorite has to be the first story about the green-eyed monster. As an adult, I knew exactly what they were talking about. However, Madison (my 4 year old) didn’t. It was great story and lesson about jealousy. My one year loved the music and danced the whole time.  He often laughed too, but I am not sure if he understood what was happening or if he just laughed because we were.  The green eyed monster is a topic that I encounter daily at my house.  I love that there was humor for both adults and kids in it too.  It makes it much more enjoyable for us adults who have to watch the movie over and over and over again.  I often found myself giggling when my kids did.  I didn’t realize this was a cartoon on TV (till my husband informed me).  However, I am so impressed with the lessons that it will be a cartoon that we will continue to watch.  Here is a sneak preview of what the movie is like and about (and you will laugh at the preview I promise).  3-2-1 Penguins! Save The Planets! is a movie that should be under your tree this Christmas.

The Monster at the End of this Book ranks as one of my top ten books of all time for kids. I love this book as a child and was super excited when my sister bought this for my daughter. Madison and I often read this together with her giggling at all the funny ways Grover tries to get you not to turn the next page, because he is afraid of the monster at the end of the book. (Spoiler here) What Grover doesn’t realize is that he is the monster at the end of the book. The closer you get to the end, the more upset and scared he gets. By the end, he really needs to go on some carnival cruises, because he gets that worked up.  It is a great book with humor and suspense and a happy ending.

Do you want an easy way to look for job listings (if you are looking for work) or post jobs (if you are an employer)? Monster is your answer then. This is one of the easiest job listing sites there is out there. It is just as easy to post a job that you are hiring for as it is to upload your resume. You are able to search regarding parameters such as salary, job description, location, etc. to find the perfect job for you. There are also several resources to aid you in your job search such as interview centre, job centre, and self assessment centre. I personally have gotten calls from employers that were searching on here for interviews, so I know that it does work. Every so often I still get a call. My criteria is a bit picky now for what I need in a job, so I am not as easy to find one for now. Monster isn’t just in the United States and Canada (which I just learned today). There are several other countries that you can look through also as an employer or employee. The layout is fairly simple to follow and pretty self explanatory. This service also does not charge to put your resume up, so you have nothing to lose — just a job to possibly gain.
