I recently bought Your Baby Can Read DVD's from an online seller which sells copies of the dvd's from her original copy. The copied dvd's were very clear and the audio is very good too. It consists of 6 dvd's which includes parent workshop, review, starter, and volumes 1,2 and 3.
The video series is designed to help babies and toddlers learn to read early. The video shows babies as early as 9 month and 12 month old already reading simple words like wave, nose, eyes, clap, elbow, etc. I was really amazed at how this video actually works! Currently Hannah and her cousins watches this video series everyday so I really hope they'd be able to learn to read just like the kids I saw in the video. I will let you know if they have any developments though Hannah can read about only 2 words from the video like Hi and Baby. I think that's an accomplishment already, right?

My kids' New Year's resolutions for 2011
Guest post written by Carmen Hooten
A few weeks ago my daughter Alice walked into the living room when I was writing down my New Year's resolutions for 2011. She asked me what i was doing and I told her. Then I had to explain what resolutions are and she decided that she was going to make a few too.
I thought it was cute that she wanted to make some resolutions too, so I humored her and helped her with hers. I told my mom about it on Facebook a few days after that and she though that it was funny too, but would encourage Alice to keep hers. The same night that I was telling my mom that, I happened across the website CLEARWIRELESSINTERNET4G.COM and after I looked through it a little bit, I decided to sign up for that provider's service.
Out of all the kids New Year's resolutions that my daughter made, the cutest one is probably that she's going to play tea time with her stuffed animals every day. I told her that was okay and that if she told her stuffed animals that, she was going to have to stick to it.

New Year's Eve family plans
Guest post written by Andrea Pruitt
This year, I'm not going to go to any of our friends' New Year's Eve parties. IÕm not really into all of that. Christmas just left me so exhausted that I think that I'm about all partied out by now. I thought that this year I would do something nice for my family instead.
I got the idea when I was responding back and forth with my aunt via e-mail and our clearwire wireless internet. I hadn't spoken with her in a while and she had gotten a picture of our kids in the Christmas card that I sent her. It was nice to just catch up with her, even if it was just through e-mails.
That got me thinking that I hadn't visited my great-aunt in a while, so I'm spending New Year's in the nursing home with her. Of course I wont' be staying late becuase they don't allow visitors in there very late but I think that she'll really appreciate it. I love to listen to her stories and could always hear a few of them.

Bitter Rivals In the NBA
Guest post written by Jeramy Sparks
Growing up in an NBA family means that claiming a favorite team is a must. Along with this means you also have some bitter rivals. None of these rivalries are more enthusiastic or cutthroat than the L.A. Lakers and Boston Celtics.
Growing up in L.A. means that Lakers are the goto team for my entire family. So every year that there is a home game against the Celtics, my family is there. We throw on our jerseys, pack up the car, and then set our home security alarm (home security systems Louisville information) before heading off to this intense match up. The air is practically electric as we near the Staples Center, not long ago our beloved Coliseum. We know that we will be in for a treat as flyers are handed out at the door with custom chants for the Lakers and personalized nagging for the Celtics. The magic of this rivalry cannot be beat and we are always blessed with an enthusiastic, exciting game. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose, but every year we will be at this game without a doubt.

Excited For Tomorrow!
It's gonna be the last day of the year 2010 tomorrow and we are all excited since it would be another time to light our lucis which is the only one allowed on our home to light up when the clock starts to wind down to welcome the New Year. We were never a fan of firecrackers because we have children to protect so the blowing of horn or torotot in Filipino, is the only way to welcome 2011 as well as lighting of lucis.
There are some superstitions that some Filipinos follow in order to become lucky on the coming year all of them pertaining to a coin or money which means to have more money in the coming year. Some of them are wearing polkadots, the polkadots being the shape of a coin, preparing fruits with a round shape on one's home, for children, jumping up and down to become taller and a lot more. I must admit that when I was younger, I tend to do some of this stuff believing my wishes would come true. A lot of Filipinos still do some of this superstitions and I cannot blame them since it has become sort of a tradition here.
I just hope, there would be less accidents this year since we all know how dangerous firecrackers are when not handled carefully. So let's all start welcoming 2011 with a bang but all in a safe manner!

Gifts for the Holidays
Guest post written by Dawn Ditter
This year, I have really fallen in love with internet shopping. I really just started to get into it recently. These days, the options are endless, and I can do most of my holiday shopping without having to leave the warmth and comfort of my own home. IÕve been shopping for years and years, and I know how crazy the holidays can be. IÕd just as well stay out of the crowds and the cold and have the nice UPS man bring things my way. Last week, I was waiting for my final packages to come, and thankfully I have received everything on time. The company that shipped my presents even giftwrapped the items for a little extra money. How wonderful is that?
While IÕve enjoyed hanging around the house, I will have to go out to get some holiday supplies and make my appointment with the Miracle Ear Testing Center before too long. However, I am just glad that I avoided the holiday madness by shopping online this year. This might just be a regular thing for me from now on.

-Secure your home
The holidays are open season for theives waiting for your to leave home so they can clean you out. Make sure you set your home alarm system from www.home-alarm-systems.com before you leave. Have neighbors collect mail and newspapers so that burgulars won't know you're not home.
-Have a babyproofing kit
Visiting relatives? Make sure you take along items to babyproof their homes to protect your youngsters. This kit should include cabinet locks, outlet covers and window blind ties. Remind family members to shut bathroom doors after use. Ask grandma to put her pill case on a high shelf, out of reach of little hands.
-Secure your pets
Traveling with Fluffy and Fido? Make sure they are in pet car seats while traveling on the road. Not only can they get hurt in an accident, they can also cause accidents by roaming freely in your car and getting under your brake pedal. A six pound cat can also become a projectile if you brake suddenly, causing damage to the cat and other occupants in the car.
