Webkinz has done it again.  Webkinz has released Webkinz Jr. which is a site made specifically for children ages 3-6.  I think that this is a wonderful thing.  I know that Emma has had a webkinz since she was 3 and enjoyed the decorating part of her room and the dressing of the pet.  I used to play all of her games so that she could earn money to do this.

Now there is a whole new Webkinz World for younger children.  I explored some and like what I see.  There are seperate areas.  The games are meant for the younger user and seem more educational.  All in all it looks very cute.  I just have to investigate some more to find out if there are actual Webkinz Jr.’s or if any Webkinz pet can be registered to the site.  I will keep you posted.  Perhaps I will give it a try with Analiese.

Webkinz Deluxe Membership

KEY BISCAYNE, FL - DECEMBER 21: A Webkinz stu...

Webkinz has a new membership.  The key is that it costs more money.  It reminds me of Club Penguin and I am a little annoyed about it.  Isn’t it bad enough that I spend a ton of money on mini stuffed toys to get new codes?  Now Webkinz wants me to pay a fee each month for added features?   Don’t the know that we are in a recession and that many parents are hurting enough already?  Do they really think that we need to be begged for more?  It is one thing to reward your child with a Webkinz pet when they have gone above and beyond but now Webkinz wants me to pay each month for these special privileges but what if the kids are not good that month?  I am still rewarding them!  Some of the features that are featured are:

  • A gift box including an amazing exclusive piece of clothing, available ONLY to Deluxe members
  • Special access to a Deluxe activity page in the Today’s Activities section of Webkinz World
  • Access to the Deluxe members-only GOLD channel on the Webkinz phone
  • 3000 eStore Points to spend at the Webkinz eStore (awarded to the purchasing eStore account)

Oh and lets not forget that they will give you a hat as well.  This hat is to provide free marketing for Webkinz when your child wears it all around town.  Did I say free?  What I mean is that when you pay for the membership you get a hat.

Now the annual membership is a bargain at $45.  I do not think that you are getting all that much for your $45.  Do not forget that it is $45 plus any pets your child wants in the real live store.  What a completely huge scam! For those of you who have read my blog for a while you know that I love Webkinz.  I enjoy playing it myself, the kids love it all and it is good clean fun.  the thing is that for the performance of their site I do not feel like I should pay $45 a year!  I just feel that they are getting a little too big for their britches.

My 100th Post!!

March 17, 2009 By 2 Comments

I cannot believe it.  This is my 100th post.  I am excited and amazed.  I started blogging so that I could write and express myself.  I am beginning to get to know some of you now and feel great about it all.  100th-post-picture1

I am amazed that I have had 100 things to write about.   You see I love to write and was encouraged to do this by my mother in law.  She feels that writing is something that I excel at and this gives me the chance to do it and work on it while I am home with my babies.  She has always told me to, “write about what you know”.  I think that I have taken these words to heart.  At this stage what I know is my kids.

I certainly do not sit here and claim to know all kids.  You see all children are different.  All children react in different ways!  From this 100th post I hope to bloom and do 1000 more!  I hope to uplift people, help them understand that no life is perfect, help people see that differences are not a bad thing and perhaps even make some friends along the way.

I would also like to say THANK YOU to all of you who have become regular readers.  It makes me so happy when people comment and add to the topic.  Without this no blog would be complete!
