Video Game High School On Netflix #StreamTeam

ByMySparklingLife June 17, 2015October 4, 2023

Okay, so last year my boys started watching this show which I thought was completely weird, but the more they watched it the more I found myself getting into it…Video Game High School is set in a futuristic world where gaming is the top sport, a teenager attends a school which specializes in a curriculum of video games in each genre.
I’m not a huge gamer, but I do love to play games like the Lego games on the Wii and the sims..I know, don’t laugh…I even used to play Farmville on fb until I realized I was waisting hours of my life growing imaginary crops and milking imaginary cows. Okay back to the point, even though I’m not a huge gamer I found myself loving this crazy show about teens, video games and the virtual world they all escape to.
I couldn’t believe I was saddened when I found out that this past season, season 3, would be the end…okay high school is supposed to be 4 years right..and why do I care so much about a show that I didn’t want to watch when it first came on anyways. I guess we all have our crazy indulgences, I’m just a little sad this one has ended.
If you haven’t seen the show…I really think you might like it, especially if you find yourself watching the Disney Channel shows even after your kids have left the room…yes I do this too.
I am a member of the Netflix Stream Team, however I actually watch this show with my boys and all opinions and comments in this post are 100% my own.

Exclusive Interview with “The Mysteries Of Laura” Co-EP & Writers

ByMySparklingLife March 15, 2016September 20, 2023

If there is one thing this family seems to love, yes we can’t get enough of it, is crime shows. So when I had the opportunity to chat with the Co-Executive Producer Amanda Green and Writers Margaret Easley and Laura Putney from the Dramady “The Mysteries Of Laura” I was thrilled.
Photo Credit: NBC
If you haven’t seen the show yet, Debra Messing stars as Laura Diamond, a brilliant NYPD homicide detective who balances her “Columbo” day job with a crazy family life that includes two unruly twin boys and a soon-to-be ex-husband — also a cop — who just can’t seem to sign the divorce papers. Between cleaning up after her boys and cleaning up the streets, she’d be the first to admit she has her “hot mess” moments in this hilariously authentic look at what it really means to be a “working mom” today. Somehow she makes it all work with the help of her sexy and understanding partner, and things becomes even more complicated when her husband ironically becomes her boss at the precinct. For Laura, every day is a high-wire balancing act.
I hadn’t yet seen the show but ended up watching episode after episode online. I LOVED the recent episode where they brought in her old Will & Grace Co-Star Eric McCormack who guest starred as her ex fiance’ and a prime suspect in a murder case. The show is entertaining as a crime drama, but has a bit of comedy infused to lighten the show.
Now on to what you are here for, the behind the scenes look…The interview with Co-Executive Producer Amanda Green and Writers Margaret Easley and Laura Putney…
When I asked if they knew they wanted Debra Messing or if she had to audition, I wasn’t so surprised by the response I got…
Amanda Green: Debra Messing does not need to audition for anything. She is, as you probably all know, so iconic and so present. I mean she was a dream. We just felt completely lucky that she was willing to do this show; not the other way around. But the great thing I’ll say about having Debra is that she is herself a mom. And having a mom play the part of Laura is just so key, because I’m not saying an actress who isn’t a mother couldn’t handle the role, but Debra brings her own valid, grounded experiences as a parent – as a single parent – to this part. And she’s just
Laura Putney: Yes. I think she’s willing to touch some things that would otherwise be considered third rail. This is Laura Putney by the way. You know if you don’t have your own kids, sometimes it can be hard to have that sort of – a bit of an edgy approach to child rearing.

Iris Barreto at Fangirlish asked “I love the twins on the show. They’re so cute and adorable, and, you know, a little bit of trouble. But so I wanted to know, did you guys take any experiences from your own life of your children to use for this show – for any of the scenes?“
Amanda Green: “Yes. And so they are a constant source of inspiration, of – I mean we’d be talking about them even if we didn’t have the twins to write for because that’s what we talk about, right, as human beings, as mothers – what our kids do. It drives us crazy. It’s adorable. It’s ridiculous. It’s aggravating. It’s why we get up in the morning – why I got up at 5:00 this morning because my daughter just doesn’t get daylight savings time yet. But yes, it’s – a lot of what the twins do and have done, I mean often comes as we’re creating a scene straight from what one of our children did today.”
Tara Settembre at The Huffington Post asked “You’ve had some interesting guest stars. Are there any more funny appearances coming up, or any particular stars you’d like to see on your show?”
Amanda Green: Oh wow, that’s a great question. I’m just trying to think of what we can tell you. I think there’s definitely some fun coming up.
Laura Putney: We’re not sure what we can say. We’ve got a great mom coming up.
Dusty Bastian at As Mom Sees It asked “Many women including myself can definitely relate to Laura. And I love that you guys make her character not able to always do it so perfectly. It’s more relatable. Is there someone in particular that in the beginning inspired her character? Or is it more of a collective of your own lives?”
Amanda Green: Well I don’t know if you know this, but the show is based on an incredibly popular and successful show in Spain called “Los Misterios de Laura” – literally “the Mysteries of Laura.” And, you know, Laura is played in that very much the same way as our Laura is – as a mom who struggles to find the balance between work and family. Our stories are all independent. We’re not really adapting the individual episodes of the Spanish show. But we certainly fell in love with the character, you know, flawed, human, struggling – but always despite her sometimes cynicism, always ultimately persevering and successful, both as a parent and as a police officer.
But I think once, you know, beyond the original character, again we all just turn back to our own lives and our own wealth of funny, sad, tragic, pathetic parenting stories.
Laura Putney: And yes, I think Debra brings a lot of that to the table too, and had a lot to do with shaping this character, you know, I think as a mom. This is very much who she is, you know? She is very much like this.

I love learning about how a show comes together from the characters to the episodes, when you watch the show you are looking at a collaboration of of writers, producers and actors all working together to make the show relatable & fun enough to draw you in week after week.
The show returns with all-new episodes this Wednesday, March 25 at 8/7c
THE MYSTERY OF THE INTOXICATED INTERN (TV-14) The detectives probe the murder of an intern working at a trendy tech startup. Laura (Debra Messing) struggles to make time for intimacy with her new beau. Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Meg Steedle, Janina Gavankar and Max Jenkins also star. Brittany Furlan guest stars.

LeapPad Platinum & Imagicard Review ⋆ My Sparkling Life

ByMySparklingLife May 30, 2016October 11, 2023

LeapFrog comes out with amazing products every year, and you always wonder how they are going to top themselves. My little man loves his LeapTV he got last year, and the Get Ready for Kindergarten series has been great. So I was excited when they asked me to review this years new tablet and digital cards.
7″ Hi-Res Multi-Touch Capacitive Screen
Features a huge 7-inch hi-res touchscreen that delivers big, crisp, sharp graphics making learning fun come to life.
Kid-Smart Fun
Access 1,000+ games and more (sold separately) designed or approved by LeapFrog educators with select titles featuring Just For Me™ Learning. He loves that he can get games with his favorite TV and movie characters. The games can get a little expensive so I tell him one game a month and use it as an incentive.
He also loves taking pictures and video, and is constantly asking us to say cheese…I think this is one of his favorite things to do.
The LeapFrog LeapPad Platinum games are adaptive to a child’s ability. If the LeapPad is sensing that your child is having trouble, it will make things a little easier or challenge the game for a kid who finds it too easy.
It also has peer to peer play, so If you have another LeapPad in the house, they can play together each holding their own LeapPad…No fighting over games!
Wi-Fi with Kid-Safe Web
A safe, protected web browser serves up a ton of kid-appropriate videos and more—all reviewed or approved by learning experts. Being only 5 he hasn’t explored this option at all, he’s more into the game play.
Exciting, interactive gameplay: LeapFrog Imagicard™
Unlock more gameplay with 6 bonus LeapFrog Imagicard™ digital game and interactive cards including a demo game, photo fun, trivia and more. (Game download required.)
The Imagicards are a little like Skylanders or Disney Infinity in where you select a character to play the game with. You use the LeapPad’s camera to “scan them in”. Six random cards are included in the box when you buy the LeapPad Platinum just to show you how the games work, but you can buy full sets as well.
The LeapPad Platinum is available in stores now. I highly recommend checking it out, especially for preschool-aged children.
