Young Frankenstein is Playing at the Orpheum

Young Frankenstein is showing at the Orpheum started last night and my husband and I went and saw it. This is one my husband's favorite movies (he even has it on DVD). He had never seen the musical. I wasn't sure of what to expect. Let me just say I LOVED IT!! My husband loved it as well we laughed the entire time! It is truly funny and highly entertaining! I love going to the Orpheum it has such a regal feel and it such a wonderful treat! This show in my opinion is for adults and not for kids and it is great to be able to go to a show just with my husband!

The cast was insanely talented they did not miss a beat! I loved the costuming and the music! Last night the house was full!!! Be sure and call and see how many tickets are still available I would HIGHLY recommend seeing this show!
The show times are:

Wednesday, March 9th 7:30 p.m.
Thursday, March 10th 7:30 p.m.
Friday, March 11th 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, March 12th 2:00 p.m. (matinee)/ 8:00 p.m. (evening)
Sunday, March 13th 7:00 p.m.

This show is definitely worth getting a sitter for your kids and enjoy a wonderful treat to LIVE PROFESSIONAL THEATRE.

Your Baby Can Read Review and Giveaway ( 3 Winners)

Have you heard of the program Your Baby Can Read? I have seen this product featured on TV and heard people talk about it and honestly I am very skeptical about babies reading. Your baby Can Read sent me their complete set (as pictured above) and asked me to review (and yes look below I am doing a giveaway of this product as well).

Ruthanne is 5 and Sophia is 3 and as most of you know I have a 3rd girl arriving end of May. My 5 year old is an excellent advanced reader for her age. She is reading chapter books with ease. Because she reads so well our 3 year old is very eager to be like her big sister. They have had a BLAST looking at the books and using the cards. It is great practice for my 5 year old to write words on the cards for her little sister! They love this product. They enjoyed the DVD (but more about that later). As a note we are perhaps an unusual family as we do not let the girls watch TV except once a week on a Friday night as a family night movie night (and we would have read the book first if there is one for the film). They of course occasionally see videos at church, friends houses etc. but in general they never watch TV. We READ CONSTANTLY! They both have been falling asleep looking at books (and now the 5 year old reading books) since they were old enough to hold a book. We have our 5 year old in a phonics based school program she started when she was 4.

What I like about this Your Baby Can kit:
The instructions are VERY detailed, clear and flexible!

I like that there are 4 levels (each has a book a set of cards and a DVD) and they state you start at the first level regardless of the age of your child.

It comes with books which are very simple and super interactive and the words are VERY CLEAR AND IN LARGE PRINT.
It also includes cards that have the word clearly written on it and then the picture pulls out. It also comes with extra cards that you can write your own words on and with a erasable marker and eraser top.

WHAT CONCERNS ME:
You are suppose to have your child watch the DVD once or twice a day. I did let the girls watch the first one and it seemed to only be 15 minutes in length not sure if the length increases as the levels increase. Since we do not let our kids watch daily anything this would not work for us.

The product states you can start using this program at age of 3 months. I personally am more concerned with other developmental mile stones than my baby reading at such a young age and strongly feel babies this young should NEVER be watching DVD's. Hey I warned you we my husband and I are "old school" ;0) But the books and flashcards are awesome and you don't have to buy all the products together you can completely by it separately.
I was extremely impressed with the Your Baby Can Read products. It will be very interesting to use them with our third child and I will up-date you on my thoughts of the product with a really young child.

GIVEAWAY FOR THREE WINNERS:

10 Ways to Save on Gas

With Gas prices going up and up, we need to be creative in how we save! Check out these 10 ways to save on Gas!

1.) Use a STP Gas treatment.
This much-lauded additive cleans your engine and fuel intake system while fighting fuel-line freeze, thus boosting your car’s performance and mileage. You should use it a few times to see full benefits, but you will: at least 10% improved mileage, all while protecting your engine.

2.)Inflate those tires!
Countless studies have shown that cars with properly inflated and balanced tires get better gas mileage — around 3.3%, according to government stats.

3.) Change your oil, and put the right oil in.
This is key for older cars especially, which in many cases will benefit from using 5W-30 motor oil.

4.) Buy low-octane gasoline.
Unless your car specifically requires premium, skip it and go for low-octane fuel.

5.) Use MurphyUSA's smartphone app to find the cheapest prices instead of driving around looking for the best deal.

6.) Shop at Kroger and use your fuel points to get .10 off per gallon at Kroger or Shell! Or shop at Walmart (MurphyUSA) or Sam's and use your Sam's card to get .03 off per gallon.

7.) Car Pool or Walk...this seems obvious! Or just stay home! :)

8.) Use Murpay to get the best prices. This is only offered in select states right now and ios coming to TN in this month (March) Go here to to read more about locking in the lowest price for the last 24 hours and only paying that price!

9) Use this site to find the cheapest gas in Memphis.

10) If you are a AAA member take advantage of their trip gas price calculator.

What are ways you are saving on gas?

Thanks DN for this idea!
