TV Tuesday... SuperNanny to the Rescue!

Yes, apparently after not writing about TV in over 5 years of blogging, I have now decided to write about it two weeks in a row!  I am just afraid to even consider what that may mean about my reality these days. 

Do you ever watch SuperNanny?  I do and for a really self serving reason; when I watch the show it makes me feel a whole lot better about my own kiddos. AND when we watch as a family my kids always tell me they are glad I am their Mom...isn't that reason enough to watch???  Is that mean?  Probably.  Though, I really like Jo and her no nonsense approach to family life and that she seems to call out parents on their lack of parenting and how they are responsible for the atmosphere and climate of their own home.  Often, on the show, Jo touches on more than child behavior and addresses the adults in the situation even more than the children and she isn't afraid to call it as she sees it.  I imagine her help goes a lot farther than just making the kids get into bed on time. 

Anyway, I read today that SuperNanny is now casting for families in America! Do you know of anyone who could benefit from a little SuperNanny love and guidance? 

If you or a friend or family would like to be considered contact ShedMedia here for an application:  Be on SuperNanny!

Wonder if they take anonymous nominations???  heheheh...



The NEW Babyland General....

Ok, children of the 80s (or those who had children in the 80s), does Babyland General mean anything to you? What about Cabbage Patch Kids? Yeah, I thought so. Actually, I never owned a CBK....yes, I was sadly neglected as a child (not really, I just never really liked them) but I have found a lot of fun in taking my own children to visit Babyland General in the past. Originally, BLG was located in downtown Cleveland, GA and was in an older building where you wound around and looked at different rooms with different themes, all filled with "kids". It was fun, and generally at some point during your tour, there was a "birth" in the cabbage patch that you could observe. In the last year, or so, BLG relocated to a much larger property, so my youngest DS and I decided to check it out yesterday.

The new, much bigger Babyland General.

Wow, what an entry.  We did have to sign in with the "nurse" before we could go in.

Apparently, even the CPKs couldn't escape the Nascar allure.

I always wondered where the storke hung out.

OK, I must admit...the cabbage patch actually creeps me out a bit.

See....creepy.

Yep, we are done.  DS2 and I both decided that we actually liked the old Babyland General better as this one has taken out the smaller rooms and has everything in one cavernous area.  It now feels more like a store than it did before (yes, I know it was a store but I liked the feel of the original!).  Either way, we had fun and the best part of a visit to BLG is that it is FREE!   Babyland General
