“Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcracker” – Children’s Holiday DVD

The Prima Princessa series is a DVD collection of ballet stories just for kids. The series was inspired by 2 blogging mom-entrepreneurs from NJ, that have daughter who love dance.

As a lot of parents know taking young children to a full ballet show can be a rough experience. They just do not usually have the attention span to sit there through the entire show. And for how expensive some shows can be, as a parent, you don’t want to throw your money away by leaving early.

So the Prima Princessa series is a way kids ages 3-6 can be exposed to dance and classical music at home through interactive fun!

So far there are 3 shows in this series, which are, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker (being released 9/7/2010) , and coming in January 2011 will be Sleeping beauty.

The DVD of the Nutcracker is a 60 minute Christmas show which features England’s World famous Birmingham Royal Ballet.

When I brought this DVD home from Blogher they couldn’t wait to watch it. They loved it so much, they dressed up in their fairy costumes and danced along with the DVD.

JVC & Me At Blogher2010 In New York City

I visited the JVC Booth at Blogher and learned about the new HD Everio camcorder they have. It is really nice. You can flip the screen on it to watch yourself being recorded which I think is a really nice feature. If you like to watch HD tv, now you can record in it too.

And here is my “Hello” I recorded using one of the new camcorders. ENJOY!

There is a New Phone Coming To Town Soon – Windows Phone 7

While I was at Blogher this past week in New York City. I got to have a sneak peek at the new, coming soon (this holiday season) Window’s Phone 7.

From the integrated calendar that allows you to combine schedules from multiple places, full Facebook integration weaved right in to your contact list and Bing Search that can help you find anything you’re looking for quickly and easily, Windows Phone 7 helps to get you to what you care about in less steps.

I love this phone, it really has some neat features that I haven’t seen on other phones out there. The sneak peek I saw wasn’t a totally complete phone as it is still in the making but what I have seen so far looks cool. The only recommendation I would make would be there to be a slide out keyboard, but the lady (Katy) I spoke with at Blogher said that the touch screen was easy to get used to and that since it was a prototype (that I saw) there may be a keyboard, but she didn’t yet know for sure.

It is also not sure which cell phone carriers will carry this phone. So that will make a difference if I am able to get this phone or not, but stay tuned for more possible coverage on this great new phone!

Here is a YouTube video on the new Windows Phone 7 below so you can check it out for yourself! :
