You really appreciate the grinding noise of your garbage disposal when it’s not working. The low ‘hmmmmmmm’ that it makes when the blades don’t turn are frustrating. Once you’ve determined that it needs to be switched out, just how easy is it to replace a garbage disposal? We were hesitant to do it ourselves, but several of our neighbors said that it was a simple task and sure enough it was, but here are some things that helped us.

The Raid is one of the best action films ever. It’s intense, brutal and has some of the best hand to hand fighting that I’ve ever seen on film. The Raid 2: Berandal is 50 minutes longer, even more violent and has some really spectacular action sequences. Put against its older sister it’s not as good, however, put alongside most any other action movie it’s far superior. The Raid 2 is in no way appropriate for children; it’s dark, intense, bloody, realistic violence that is potentially disturbing.

Taking the story of a video game to another medium is problematic. The material usually won’t stand up to the larger format or longer running time. With very few successes you can’t think of a video game that has successfully converted to another visual format other than games. Sure it may have sold some different toys, but video is a whole different ballgame. That is what is so surprising about Angry Birds Toons Season 1, Volume 2, it’s good. Actually it’s better than good, has our kids laughing out loud and is entertaining for adults too, here’s why.

Skyward #6 manages to straddle the line between fable, fairy tale and action so perfectly you don’t know exactly how to define it. I hesitated calling it all ages comic because it’s so entertaining and has so much action. But after re-reading it I couldn’t find anything that would be scary to a 5 year old or objectionable for their parents. It’s a cool all ages comic book that any age can read, enjoy and want to share with their children or dig into it solo.

We don’t have cable. Because of that we miss out on some shows and networks. Peppa Pig airs on Nick Jr. and is one that we hadn’t seen until this video. Each episode is just over 5 minutes, has a very brisk pace and is quite disarming. Our children, even the 4 year old, loved Peppa Pig. Our 2 year old liked it too, but his way of showing appreciation consisted of pointing and yelling at the DVD cover.

My inner monologue often ponders the question of why Peeps are so tasty. Is it the fun shapes? The many different colors? Or do they just taste great regardless of when they’re eaten or what shape they are? If Peeps were the shape of a flounder or a lemon would they still taste good? I say yes and most likely you do too. We’ve got a great giveaway for $40 of Peeps, just in time for Easter.
