Remember I told you how enamoured I have become with group coupon sites?  Well, my inbox is getting pretty heavy with those and if I see another coupon for microderm abrasion…  Anyhow, I found a new website called OneSpout which is an aggrogator of all of the other sites.  You can go to one place and see all of the offerings for cities of your choice.  As well, if you sign up for their daily mail, you can filter out the kinds of products and services that you are not interested in.  It’s pretty great.  No more clutter.

I love how someone has a good idea (Groupon) and then dozens copy it,  and then come the aggregators, and then come the aggregators of the aggregators.

My kids have gone to a couple of movies for toddlers (where have those gone?)…but they have never seen a real movie in full at the theatre.  I was thinking about Yogi Bear and Tangled for next weekend but need to be very careful.  My kids are easily frightened.  Disney on Ice was very scary for them.  The Boy still shakes when he sees Swiper on Dora and he is almost 5 yrs. old.

I found this great website (www.kids-in-mind.com) that gives parents ample relevant info about current movies so that we all can determine if a movie is appropriate for OUR kids, not someone else’s.  The website does not  assign an inscrutable rating based on age but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY,VIOLENCE/GORE &PROFANITY, on a scale of 0 to 10, and they explain why a film rates high or low in a specific category. Also, instances of substance abuse are included in the review as well as a list of discussion topics that may elicit questions from children.

Amazing!
