Flavor of Love II

I am disgusted with myself at how much I am actually enjoying Flavor of Love. It is a sad state. I must have missed an episode somewhere because my babygirl Goldie wasn't on. I about lost it. Goldie was for real you know? I liked her. I hope she didn't do something stupid to get kicked off. But then again, maybe she did something smart to get kicked off, knowImean?

So it was down to New York, Hoops and what's-her-name Blondie girl. The end was crazy. Ol' girl Blondie spitting in New York's face. You just KNEW NY was going to go off on her. You knew it. Had that been off the show she would have taken off the earrings, the weave and let girl have it.

But Flav calmed her down.

Sick confession: Momma's rootin' for New York. Rootin' for her bigtime. 'Cause when they make the follow up show to this one, showing the tumultuous months of aftermath in the "relationship" - ain't no better ticket than New York as Ms. Queen Flava Flav, yo. Mmmhmmm. I have a weird love to hate thing with NY. She is straight up crazy insane, but she completely follows the Flav/Bridget thing.

They're all insane. NY is at home. So I hope she's the last girl standing.

Poetry Speaks to Children

Poetry Speaks to Children

As a lover of poetry myself, I was eager to introduce this gem to my children, especially the twins (who are 7). This sturdy, book is large enough to allow a proper presentation of the beautiful illustrations, but still sized for small hands to independently open the book on their lap and enjoy it themselves.

Almost a hundred different poems, some classic, some new. Funny, thoughtful, endearing and seamlessly blended with the vivid pictures. Can you tell I enjoy the book? Ha. I particularly liked how it was presented, as do the kids. I thought the CD was a nice accompaniment but they twins did not seem to care for it. Over an hour of poetry read by a smattering of different artist, it was quite a treat. Still, the liked to read the poems on their own or have me read them. The quality of the narrations on the CD could stand alone, though. Great for bringing in the car, or listening to before bed.

Bottom Line: This is a beautifully presented book. I thoroughly enjoyed both poetry and pictures. You already get the fantastic book, so the CD is perk!! This is a nice way to put poetry at your child's fingertips.
