RAINBOW BRITE CD REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

Rainbow Brite was a favorite of mine growing up. I use to love to play with my doll and horse. Thanks to MomSelect, I received a FREE CD to review. The CD contains games, puzzles, the theme song and much more. I was excited to share this with Payton (my 3 year old daughter) I knew she would enjoy it as much as I did. We had lots of fun playing the games and listening to the music.

You can also find (4) new Rainbow Brite animated mini episodes at www.rainbowbrite.com to view. You can join Rainbow Brite, her two loyal friends Moonglow and Tickled Pink, and their companion horse friends: Starlite, Shimmer and Sunrisers on their adventures through Rainbow Land.

I AM A THE VIEW BRAND AMBASSADOR

It's official ... I am a The View Brand Ambassador.

I started watching The View over 3 years ago while on maternity leave with my first child. I looked forward to 11am EST every day. Being a first time mom and being home a lot with just my baby, I really enjoyed the daily hot topics and guests. I felt like it was my way of keeping up to date with important events in the world and also I felt like I was having a little "me" time.

Currently, the show has 5 hosts......Moderator Whoopi Goldberg, Comedian and Host of Joy Behar, Comedian, Actress, Author Sherri Shepherd, Designer, Author and Formerly Survivor Contestant Elizabeth Hasselbeck, and ABC News Correspondent Barbara Walters. Barbara is not on the show every day but normally 2 -3 days a week.

Each week I will share with you the guests and the schedule for the upcoming week. You can become a fan of The View and you follow The View on twitter.
