Super Fly Guy is a fun book all kids should have. It has the some of cutest illustrations as you can tell from the cover of the book. Madison likes it and giggles every time we read it. The story is about a fly called Fly Guy and a little boy called Buzz. Buzz takes Fly Guy to school and you get to read all about it. Fly Guy lands in the lunch room which leads to all sorts of chaos. If you want to find out what happens from here, you’ll have to read the book.

The Playdoh Creativity Center is a winner in both parents and kids eyes. If you find you have playdoh and playdoh accessories all over your house, you need one of these! Not only does it have a table for your little one to play on, all of the playdoh and accessories go inside. I know it has been a lifesaver in my house. Now, Madison and I both know where all of her playdoh stuff is. There is enough space inside that you can put other playdoh accessories and playdoh in there. We have several different sets in ours. On the table (which is the cover) there are also spots (or molds) that allow the kids to make all sorts of different shapes like strawberries and such. You can also buy the plastic that goes on top and gives the kids a theme to build playdoh things with. I think it comes with one that looks like four plates, so the kids can make playdoh food to put on the plates. I can’t tell you how many hours Madison has played with this. It is worth every penny. You can’t get it at places like directbuy, but it should be pretty easy to find at Kmart, Target, etc.

Discovery Channel has struck gold again with their show Survivorman.  This is one of Bill and mine favorite shows out there.  It is about Les Stroud he gets dropped off in all sorts of situations that he a week to find his way out of.  He is left with a few supplies that normal people would have if they were lost in the wilderness.  He has no crew and has 50 lbs of camera equipment to log around too.  He shows you how to survive in the snow, desert, jungle, and a lot of other places.  I like Survivorman better than Man vs Wild, because Les is so much more believable (especially since the reports that Bear –the host of Man Vs. Wild– often spent the night in hotels instead of out in the wild).  He doesn’t take the chances that Bear does, and I find Les much more down to earth and likable.  The chances of you ever needing this information are small.  However, it is a very interesting show to watch.  I cannot wait till the new season comes out!

We tried this today for lunch, and let me tell you, it was a big hit at my house. Madison is loving that she has fishies swimming in her soup (that’s what she told me they were doing). The fish taste great too! The goldfish are included with the other noodles. You can add goldfish crackers if you want. The soup is super easy to make.   All you do is dump the soup into your pan, add in a can of water, and cook away. It took about five minutes. This soup was not any more expensive than regular chicken noodle soup, so I will definitely be buying it again.

I love IKEA most of the time. I hate IKEA because I want to spent way to much money there. Most of the items at this store I would classify as contemporary. They sell everything from furniture to silverware to kitchen cabinets. There is something for everyone there. I just bought this bookcase there:

I bought 12 baskets to put in there and am going to use it as a toy box of sorts. I saw it on display there like that and love it. They have whole apartment sizes rooms set up to show you how you can decorate with a limited amount of space. I also bought this computer desk there:

As I said, they have all sorts of things. If you live close to an IKEA, you should definitely check it out!
