Here is more I found about Kidthing and what they have to offer. Kidthing is the first and only free digital media player made just for kids. kidthing was created by parents to give kids a safe place to play and learn online away from web browsers and ads. kidthing also features an online store filled with a wide variety of fun and engaging digital animated books, interactive games, activities and videos from leading companies and brands. Browse, preview and buy great stuff from the kidthing store with prices starting at under a dollar. Content is automatically downloaded to the kidthing player and can be played anytime and anywhere, even when not connected to the Internet.

Now I need your help! I have a mac and until 2009 the mac is not available to download on. I am so bummed. So please try this out and get back with me and let me know what you think! I know Tate would absolutley love this. So now is your chance. GO and checkout Kidthing and the download Countdown to Christmas. Enjoy!

Kid Friendly and Educational Websites!

So today I wanted to introduce you to some of my sons, Tate's, favorite websites. What really make these great is that they are educational and fun. So for those of you with children age 2-Grade school check these out. Obviously you will probably have to help some of the younger ones out but seriously they will love it.


FIrst is Ziggity Zoom. I heard of this today and Tate and I went to check it out. There are games, coloring pages, virtual stories, crafts and more. Tate loved the "Feed the Monster" game. He thought it was so funny how the monster was constantly hungry. I thought the "Hide n Seek" game was great. It had many hiding spots with numbers on them and the point was to find the cat. When you click on the number, it opens that hiding spot to show you if you found the cat. It was really beneficial with helping Tate recognize and learn his numbers. Tate is working on numbers right now in pre-school.


The second is called "Teach the Children Well". This is one you will just have to explore on your own. There are so many games and activities. I wouldn't even know where to start. This site will give you a list of games from several other websites. These games involve everything from numbers, abc's, rhyming and much more!


Last there is PBS Kids. These are games with all the well known characters your children see on TV.

Now if anyone else has a kid friendly website that they and their children love please share.

Kmart Double Coupon Time!

Kmart will be doubling all coupons up to $2 from 11/30-12/6. Here is a blog that shows you some of the awesome deals they got. I am not sure what state the writer of this blog is from, but it does show some great deals. You can check Kmarts website and click on your local ad to make sure your Kmart is having this deal. I know the one in Draper, UT is.

Time to see who got their money's worth....

So I love deals, you all may be realizing that by now. I am just dying to hear what good deals you found during Black Friday and the weekend sales. "What deal were you going after and did you get to it first?", " Did you find any deals that totally shocked you?", " How was your Black Friday experience over all?".
Basically you can share any of the above or what comes to mind.
Can't wait to hear from you all! Here was my big finds.


I really wanted to get My little boy the Leapster. The best deal I saw was at Smiths Market Place, where you could get a Leapster plus a Leapster Game for $34.99 I think or something close to it. Sadly I didn't get there on time. But I did get it at Kohls for $39.99 plus with the other things I bought I got $10 towards my next purchase. I love that $$$$ Oh ya, and thanks to Mindy my old HS friend who snagged the Leapster for me before they were all gone.


At Toys R Us they had some great movie deals. I snagged a few. One being Sleeping Beauty for $10.00. My most exciting purchase was the Guitar controllers for Guitar Hero for only $10. I got two of them. Last month Walmart did an awesome deal for 2 Xbox360 games for $30. I got Guitar Hero ($15) but with no guitars. So now with my guitars I have the total package with only spending $35. YIPEE!


My last find which I was pumped about was at Kmart. On Saturday their big sale included a buy 1 leapster game and receive another FREE. I totally jumped for that deal and bought two of them. Leaving me with 4 games for the price of 2. We now have My boys Christmas and Birthday taken care of. Well, almost!

So those were my finds. I absolutely enjoyed myself. My sister joined me and my sweet husband also came along so that we could shop while he waited in line. What a sport! Now it's your turn. Leave a post or email me and I will post it up for all to see.

Thanks
Mama Snow

This has got to be my favorite giveaway today. I am sure it will be one of the most visited giveaways, but what the heck I am in. You could win a 2-night stay in Orlando's Nickelodean Hotel. I am not sure if the flight is included, my guess is it's not. Still it's a great deal and could be your fun for the whole family this next year. I have family near Orlando and would love to make a trip out there. Anyways, check out Frugal Mommy for more details on how to enter. GOOD LUCK!
