Happy One year Anniversary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

               Today is Christie's Corner's one year anniversary!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo! We made it to one year of blog posts and new stories and information. I began this blog with nothing to really do for the summer, never did I realize I'd love doing it so much. So lots of thanks to everyone for making me want to write so often. In the dearest and longest of choices I assigned with the rest, to be grateful and thank you all for all your greater glory- Christie. I remember my first blog post being about Jem & the Holograms (an animated TV show in the 1980s) and how I began to love it so dearly much.

                         Here is a toast to all of you viewers I couldn't Have done it without you, and........................................ Don't forget to comment ;). CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it too Stuffy?

"Happy Nappers" (Bear & Cow)

"Stompeez" (Green Dragon)

   Is it  too stuffy? Your probably wondering what I
mean by it being too stuffy, well have you guys noticed that since "Pillow Pets" re-entered the market in February of 2011 that there are a lot  more products for the night. A while after came "Happy Nappers" which are very similar to "Pillow Pets" they are pillows and stuffed animals. But, Happy nappers are more full sized and they sit up right instead of laying out. A unique part that I really love about the product  is the stuffed animal can go home in side the pillow, which is very adorable.

"Glow Pets"

"Dream Lites"

"Seat Pets"(Purple Monkey)

     

"Tummy Stuffers" (Monkey)

 Not to long after came the adorable slippers known to you guys as the "Stompeez" , the whole point of the slippers were to get children to wear there shoes in the house. But at the same time let them have fun with their shoes. "Cuddleuppets" the blankets that are indeed puppets. It sounds adorable it really is but this products been getting negative vibes from lots of people judging by each of the characters eyes.  But, ignore the rumors if you really want it

"Pillow Pets" (Lady Bug)

who says you can't buy it? What better way to make sure your kids clean their room by giving them a " Tummy Stuffer"  stuffed animals that gobble up almost anything. Pillow Pet came pack in the market with Dream Light, and Glow Pets which were generally almost the same thing. Except that Dream Lights allows large lighting. And lets not forget about" Seat Pets" another pillow. This time devoted to make sure your kids can sleep in the car without worrying the seat belts will harm their skins.

     Is it too stuffy? Well, to be honest I don't think so and I do think so I
mean each product maybe repeating each other in one way or another but its just to make I

"Cuddleuppets"

better. But how how many times are we going to repeating our selves until we realize were just not going anywhere with this? But I still love them :). Each of these products are at reasonable price from $ 14.00- $ 26.

Tablet Maniac!!!

Hey guys, I know its been a long while since I've had a post but my life's been busy. I had lots of studying to do. :(.        
    Well anyways today's uncontrollable topic is......... tablets. I'm getting ready to buy a new tablet and I hadn't realized how many options there were. And there are a lot more than I expected that were mainly made for children.I narrowed down my options to what were most popular and what were recommended to me.

Windows 8, Google’s Nexus , iPad, Barnes & Noble’s Nook HD and HD+, Amazon’s Kindle Fire, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

I then used process of elimination to help me, since I was under a budget I crossed out the ones that were most expensive (in my case).

Windows 8, Google’s Nexus , iPad, Barnes & Noble’s Nook HD and HD+, Amazon’s Kindle Fire, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

So, I said so long to the Windows 8, Galaxy tablet 2 , and the iPad. I was then down three possible buys. I mainly didn't want the nexus because I was really looking for a tablet that I would be able to use to read but watch movies and TV and get more of the latest apps free. So it was down to just two tablets.

Windows 8, Google’s Nexus , iPad, Barnes & Noble’s Nook HD and HD+, Amazon’s Kindle Fire, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

It was time for a show down!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nook HD

Kindle Fire HD
