“Big Book of Science Experiments”

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:18:30 +0000

Time Home Entertainment and the editors of TIME For Kids teach kids to think like scientists with the Big Book of Science Experiments (Time Home Entertainment Inc.; December 6, 2011; $17.95). This new book, with more than 100 experiments provided by Mad Science and step-by-step instructions, shows kids how simple experiments can help them better understand the world around them. Big Book of Science Experiments is available at www.timeforkids.com/science and retailers nationwide.

The 192-page, full-color hardcover book presents fresh and fascinating experiments for kids 8 to 12 to wrap their heads (and hands) around. The inquiry-based experiments cover aspects of physical, life and earth science, and dovetail with the school science curriculum. Designed to appeal to the most curious children, Big Book of Science Experiments has a generous focus on kid-friendly themes such as explosions (safe ones!), the environment, and the human body.

The intriguing experiments in Big Book of Science Experiments were created by the experts at Mad Science, the world’s leading science enrichment provider. Each experiment features clear and colorful step-by-step directions, helping children to easily follow the procedure and tips on how each experiment could be used in a science fair.

“Following the success of Super Science Book, we created Big Book of Science Experiments to offer kids a supplement to everything they love about science. Annual science fairs continue to grow in popularity. This book provides a myriad of ideas to bring science directly to your home,” said Bob Der, Editorial Director, TIME For Kids. “We filled the book with incredibly cool experiments for kids to explore in a fun, family-friendly way.”

TIME For Kids’ Big Book of Science Experiments is the must-have book for every hands-on kid!

MY THOUGHTS

My boys loved looking through this book and seeing all the different types of science experiments we can conduct at home. Not only did the book get the boys excited about having fun with different science experiments, it created a learning experience…..and they didn’t even know it! I highly recommend this book to parents looking for a fun way for their children to learn about science. A big thanks goes to Time Home Entertainment and TIME For Kids for this book review opportunity on The Mommy-Files.

Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall Party

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:18:51 +0000

I loved the Broadway musical, The Phantom of the Opera, and am looking forward to watching The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall. Thanks to Universal Studios Home Entertainment, I have the opportunity to host a Masquerade party with some of my friends, where we’ll enjoy foods, masks, and a viewing of The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall. You can join in the 25th Anniversary celebration and pick up your copy in stores and online today!

Broadway’s longest-running production of all time celebrates a triumphant quarter century on stage with The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall, coming to Blu-ray – with pefect hi-def picture and perfect hi-def sound – DVD, On Demand and Digital Download on February 7, 2012 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. On October 2, 2011, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and producer Cameron Mackintosh marked the 25th anniversary of their beloved musical extravaganza, “The Phantom of the Opera,” with a lavishly staged production at London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall that was beamed live via satellite to cinemas across the globe. The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall marks the first time a live performance of the blockbuster musical has been made available for home viewing, making it a must-have anniversary release for fans everywhere.

I’m pretty excited about the Masquerade Party and having a girl’s night in – eating, socializing, and watching The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall. A big thanks goes to Universal Home Entertainment for making this party possible!

Check out the movie trailer for The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall.

I received a copy of “The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall” on Blu-ray and a Party Pack from Universal Studios Home Entertainment as part of this campaign. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine.

Golfing in Nipomo, California. This was the first time I’ve gone golfing since I was 8 months pregnant with Brian. That was quite a few years ago!
