Barney: Musical Zoo
Release Date: January 4th, 2011
DVD SRP:  $14.98

Tune in for wild musical fun with everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur, Barney™ and his playground friends, in the all-new Barney: Musical Zoo trumpeting onto DVD, Digital  Download and On Demand January 4, 2011 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment.
Trusted by moms and adored by children, Barney displays sharing, caring, imagining, dancing and learning on television, online and through live events, home entertainment and publishing. The Emmy® award-winning series, Barney & Friends™ is one of the top-rated preschool shows today, airing on PBS KIDS® and PBS KIDS Sprout®.  The DVD also includes a bonus episode of the all-new Preschool TV series, Timmy Time™ from the Academy-Award® winning Aardman studios.
  
DVD Synopsis: Hear an elephant trumpet and a lion roar as Barney and Riff™ create a wild concert filled with exotic animal sounds in Barney: Musical Zoo. Join Riff as he composes for a different kind of puppet show and then BJ™ and Baby Bop™ get into the act, learning about rhythm and performing for others in this super-dee-duper orchestral treat that the whole family will enjoy.

Episodes Include:
  • Riff’s Musical Zoo - Everyone is excited about an upcoming trip to the zoo.  When the trip is postponed, Riff gathers instruments that sound like real animals and creates a musical zoo using everyday items around the playground. 
  • Special Skills -  Barney suggests that BJ and Baby Bop put on a show so Riff can see how much fun they have at the park.  Riff is a little shy — he’s never performed.
  • Rhythm - Baby Bop is practicing her marching because she will be joining a real marching rhythm band and is having trouble keeping a beat.  Barney, BJ and Riff.
Bonus Features:
  • Animal Sounds Match Game
  • Timmy Time Episode: "Timmy's Plane"
I remember my sister watching Barney when we were younger and it is crazy to think that they are still coming out with new DVD's and now my son loves to watch them. Little Man adores the purple dinosaur and has also found a new love for animals so this DVD was a great match for him.

So I keep going back and forth between changing the name of my blog or not, I originally started this blog because I loved sharing all the great deals that I have found. After having Baby Boy and moving to Boston (I miss the Kmart doubles and Harris Teeter Triples in Virginia!) things have just been too busy to be total coupon crazy and the store I usually shop at never does "double coupons" so I have been slacking a bit.

After started Shining2Save I found out about Product Review & Giveaways and lately I have found myself liking that more and posting more giveaways than savings so I have been thinking about changing the name of my blog for the start of the new year, I was thinking more like "Kari's Korner?" Or maybe a name with "Mommy" in it? I am not sure.

What are your thoughts? Do you have any ideas on a new name? I can use all the help I can get, I keep going back and forth on changing the name or not.

When I was pregnant with Little Man and Baby Boy it was hard to find a nice maternity outfit while staying within my budget. I tended to buy regular clothes in just bigger sizes because I hated the maternity store prices. I wish I knew about Kiki's Maternity Fashions.

At Kiki's Maternity Fashions you can find cheap maternity clothes that allow you to dress cute while not breaking the bank. Kiki's carries shirts, pants, and dresses for the summer, spring, fall and winter. I love how all of their clothes are decently priced, especially their pants. All of their pants are $29.99 and under, I can remember paying at least $45 every time I bought a pair of maternity pants. Not just are their pants cheaply priced, but all of their clothing, even dresses are under $29.99!

In addition to their low prices, Kiki's also has a section of maternity clothes for $10 and under, and a Clearance section that they are constantly adding new items to.

Although I am not pregnant, I was able to choose one dress/shirt to review. It was hard to choose only one item, there were so many shirts and dresses that looked super cute. I finally chose the Black Rhinestone Short Sleeve Maternity Shirt. I love this shirt and cannot wait until we try for #3 so I can wear it.

Ordering was very simple and the shipping was very fast. I just loved the little rhinestones on the shirt, it gives the shirt a nice touch but it is not too dressy.

Overall, I am very happy with the quality and selection of maternity clothing from Kiki's Maternity Fashions, what a great way to dress in style during those precious 9 months without breaking the bank.

One lucky reader will win a $25 Gift Certificate to Kiki's Maternity Fashions!

Open to US & Canada
