Imagination Movers Ticket Giveaway!


Playhouse Disney’s now famous Imagination Movers are coming to town and we’re giving a few of our lucky readers tickets to the show!

Touted as alternative rock for kids, the Imagination Movers are just as much fun for us as they are for the kids. Think “Red Hot Chili Peppers meets Captain Kangaroo” and you’ll see where I’m going with this one. Combining pop music, education and problem-solving into serious fun, the Imagination Movers are pure entertainment.

Clad in their trademark blue overalls, the band members are just “everyday guys” working to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a place of infinite inspiration.Though their customers are few and far between, the upbeat Movers approach everything they do with gusto, always eagerly awaiting the next person in need of help.

Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche and Scott “Smitty” Smith are the blue-suited Imagination Movers and we can’t wait to give them a warm Birmingham welcome, so here’s the information –

Product Review: Paula Deen's My First Cookbook


This year, my 3-yr-old received a fabulous gift for Christmas – Paula Deen’s My First Cookbook. It brings together two of her favorite things : Paula Deen and food. She often pretends to be Paula while bee-bopping around in her play kitchen, so this was a perfect fit.

The cookbook features kid-friendly recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, sweets, treats and drinks. When we say kid-friendly, we really mean it. Each recipe’s ingredients are listed as illustrations so even a non-reader can be completely involved. My daughter an I made the Bulls Eye today which consisted of an egg fried in the middle of a piece of toast. And it was good. She was so proud to have made it and I was happy to eat it! Anyway, this book is a definite recommend from BirminghamMommy. It gets an A+ for together fun and an A+ for delicious results!
