The Casagrandes: The Complete First Season synopsis: Ronnie Anne is an independent, skateboard loving 11-year-old who moved to the big city with her mom and brother to live with their extended family, the Casagrandes. Her new life promises to be an adventure, now that she’s living under one roof with her grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousins, and a sass-talking parrot. As if that weren’t enough excitement, her bedroom is directly below the bedroom of her best friend, Sid. And on the ground floor is the family run market (the Mercado), which is a gathering place for all their quirky neighbors. While her brother Bobby helps run the Mercado with their gossip-loving Abuelo, Ronnie Anne and Sid explore the city, making fun new friendships along the way. She’s also getting to know everyone in her bustling multigenerational Mexican-American family. Her new life is full of new discoveries, love, laughter and plenty of food!

DreamWorks is celebrating their newest show being release and streamed on Netflix called Go, Dog. Go!, which is based on a best selling children’s book with the same title by PD Eastman. The story follows a 6-year-old pooch named Tag Barker on her adventures in the city of Pawston, a fun-loving community of dogs on the go. Tag is a skilled mechanic and loves anything that goes. With her ingenuity and creativity, Tag can go as far as any plan will take her with her best friend Scooch Pooch by her side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first season of Go, Dog. Go! features nine fun-filled episodes that are 22 minutes long. The series is executive produced by Adam Peltzman (Odd Squad, Wallykazam!). The cast consists of Michaela Luci as Tag Barker, Callum Shoniker as Scooch Pooch, Katie Griffin as Ma Barker, Martin Roach as Paw Barker, Lyon Smith as Spike Barker and Gilber Barker, Tajja Isen as Cheddar Biscuit, Judy Marshank as Grandma Barker, and Patrick McKenna as Grandpaw BarkerGo.
The season one episodes of DreamWorks’ Go, Dog. Go! are:
Welcome to Pawston; Ruff Day on the Job
Dark Park Bark Lark; The Fast and the Curious
Old Dog, New Tricks; Snoozie-Hullabaloozie
Show Dog, Show; Keys to Victory
Pupcakes; Stink or Swim
A Ball for All
Ding Dong Day; Grand Sam
Clucky Day; Take Me Out to the Fetch Game
Dog the Right Thing
I watched Go, Dog. Go! and found it to be adorable. I am a dog person and I loved seeing all the pooches running around town. It is also a wonderful cartoon depicting great morals and lessons for kids to learn, such as, helping others, believing in yourself and your skills, it’s ok to accept help, and to never give up.
One of my favorite episodes is Clucky Day, where Tag works on creating the best day ever for her friend Scooch, who is missing out on this special day. She gets much of the town to pitch in to make decorations and even gets help in bringing real chickens to the event. In this episode Tag is caring for her friend, working with others to make this event possible, and even accepting help from chickens that fix her bike after is breaks down. Nothing will stop Tag from completing her plans while she is on the Go, Dog. Go!.
Go Dog, Go! DreamWorks Box
Thanks to DreamWorks and their paw-some gift box, my family, including our fur-babies, and I enjoyed the newest series with several Go, Dog. Go! items! At this point, I had no idea what was included in the box. However, Kidagakash certainly knew something in that box was for her. Look at that face. Her nose must have shared some delicious details.
The box contained:
A cute letter explaining the reason for the gift, “In celebration of the new DreamWorks Animation series Go, Dog. Go! please enjoy a paw-some gift box for your family and your furry valentine!”. Thank you DreamWorks!
The official Go Dog, Go! Book by PD Eastman. This is the book that the show is based on. (you can grab a hardcover copy at Amazon.com [affiliate link])
Go Team, Go! Steps to Reading
Go Dog, Go! Valentine’s Day cards
3 Amazing Dog treats with the names of our fur-babies piped on the bones (our fur-babies loved these!)
And a beautiful frame with a picture Kidagakash
This box was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day surprise with adorable Valentine’s Day Cards and the pink dog treats, but when a surprise box comes in the mail, we all go nuts and rip it open. Each item was claimed in a very organized-chaos decision-making process. I kept the frame of Kidagakash, which is now sitting on my desk, and the pups claimed their treats.
Charcoal Baby Girls is so good, she sits and waits with anticipation.
Unlike Charcoal (above) who sat beautifully, waiting patiently for her snack, Kidagakash (below) would not hold still. I really did try to get a perfect picture of Kidagakash, but she was bouncing around like a cricket. She can sit pretty, but, at this point, with all the excitement, all she wanted was to eat the delicious treat that DreamWorks had sent.
Kidagakash jumping like a cricket
Kidagakash is so excited for her Go Dog, Go! treat, she is licking her chops.
DreamWorks truly helped my family and I celebrate the release of Go, Dog. Go! on Netflix. The books were fun to read, the show was fun to watch, and the Valentine’s Day cards will be saved for February 14th. what made the event paw-some was the fact that DreamWorks included our pooches in the celebration. I know our fur-babies enjoyed those treats because the bones disappeared fast. I may have to start making treats for future celebrations. I am sure they will enjoy all the snacks they can get.
Go, Dog. Go! is now available on Netflix. I suggest getting the whole family together, including the puppies, and start enjoying the brand new series about dogs in Pawston.

Blaze and the Monster Machines: Axle City Grand Prix is coming to DVD February 2, 2021! The DVD will feature four episodes all around Blaze and epic racing fun including a deep sea race.
The four episodes are:
Axle City Grand Prix
The Bouncing Ball Racetrack
Raceday Rescue
Deep Sea Grand Prix
I received the opportunity to review this collection and here are my thoughts.
Everything fans have come to love about Blaze and the Monster Machines is compiled into one epic DVD of four episodes. With Blaze and his friends interacting with the audience and getting the audience’s assistance, the show is a perfect opportunity to teach, learn, and have fun. In fact, in the episodes included on the Blaze and the Monster Machines: Axle City Grand Prix DVD the audience will get the chance to learn about science, how cheating is bad, helping others, and how to work together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mt favorite episode is Deep Sea Grand Prix where Blaze transforms into a submarine and teaches the audience what a submarine needs in order to move underwater such as a hull, propeller, and ballast. Not only does the audience learn parts of a submarine, but we also learn air floats and what objects float with air inside (YAY science!), how to count to 6, how to problem solve, and how to never give up. Place this in a highly colorful scene underwater with machine crabs and the whole episode is a fun, entertaining, interactive, underwater adventure for everyone watching.
Because of their fun stories, learning opportunities, interactive characters, and the inclusion of science, which I love, I give Blaze and the Monster Machines: Axle City Grand Prix five stars! This DVD collection is amazingly fun and the interactive activities are placed throughout each episode. So let the race begin and Leeeet’s Blaaaaze!!!
In anticipation of Blaze and the Monster Machines: Axle City Grand Prix coming to DVD, Nickelodeon has released a fun Blaze Paper crafts families can print and create. The paper craft requires the use of a craft knife and scissors. NOTE: all cutting should be done by an adult.

Gabby’s Dollhouse has hit the preschool world by storm with its amazing fun crafts and stories all compiled into epic mixed media cat-tastic episodes. With unboxing surprises, characters, learning to problem solve, and teaching kids to work together, parents have also issued high praises for the show. This a-meow-zing show is now streaming on Netflix.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think Gabby’s Dollhouse is absolutely adorable and the crafts that they make are easy to do with the kids. In fact, I was inspired by all the fun crafts and decided to create a cute paper craft of Baby Box that adults and kids can make together and display. What’s even cooler is when kids are making crafts from the show, they can have their very own Baby Box nearby watching them create.
Baby Box is a character that has fun in the crafting room of Gabby’s Dollhouse. She is instrumental in helping to come up with new crafts to help her friends out of tough situations. For example, in Welcome to Gabby’s Dollhouse!, Baby Box teaches Gabby and her friends how to build a space chain, which will help get Catrat down after he hovers away in a space ship. With a cute song and fun instructions, fans and viewers also learn how to build a space chain. The instructions to this craft and more from Gabby’s Dollhouse can be found on my blog post here. Simply save the PDFs to your computer, print, and create.
My Baby Box craft is similar to the instructions found on other Gabby Dollhouse activities. It is as easy as download, print, and create. However, this craft will require a few steps done by an adult. NOTE: All cutting and/or use of sharp objects should be done by an adult. The cutting around the whiskers and the slices for the arm holes need to be done with an exacto knife. The cutting around each object should be done with scissors. Because this craft requires glue, adult supervision is a must.
The PDF comes with quick instructions on how to build the Baby Box paper craft. Below you will find more detailed instructions and tips. Put simply, this craft requires the creation of two rectangle boxes, one bottomless cup, and two arms. The materials needed to make this paper craft are:
Printed Pattern
Exacto Knife
Scissors
Glue stick or Elmer’s Glue with a Q-tip
Directions
Print on cardstock
Cut along the outer solid lines of all 5 pieces.
Head
using an x-acto knife, cut along the white lines around the whiskers. We don’t want these to fold when we build the square head.
Fold along each solid line within the head shape, including the long horizontal line in the center. Be sure all folds have colors side facing out. Be sure not to fold the whiskers.
Along the dotted lines on the side of the head carefully fold color sides together. Be sure the crease is only along the dotted lines.
Place glue on the white tabs on the side of the head and glue it to the inside of the opposite panel
Place glue along the white tabs at the bottom of the head and glue them to the corresponding sides on the inside. Leave the head open for now. It will help when gluing the dress and feet to the head.
Feet
Fold along The solid lines. Be sure not to fold along the black line that makes the doll have two legs.
Place glue on the large tab and glue it to the inside of the opposite panel
Place glue on the 3 white tabs and glue them to the inside of the corresponding panels. This should form a long rectangular box. Let dry.
Body
The body can be a dixie cup painted blue with gemstone stickers added or you can use the template provided.
Cut along the red lines of each side of the dress. This is where the arms will go.
Place glue on the large white tab and glue the tab to the inside of the opposite side of the curve. let dry. This should form a bottomless cup
Arms
Fold the arms in half along the top of the paw with color sides facing out.
Place the arms in the slots made by the exacto knife and test how you want them displayed. If you want them straight out then follow the designated lines. If you want them positioned up or down, fold the tabs where desired.
Spread the tabs out and glue them to the inside of the dress. Make sure the paws face the front. before you glue the arms in place. let dry
Assembly
At the top of the dress, fold each small blue tab down half way.
Add glue to each tab and glue the dress to the bottom of the head in the center. Be sure the arms are positioned on each side of the body and that they are facing forward.
Place glue on the top of the white square of the feet. Place the legs up through the dress and glue them to the bottom of the head. Make sure the feet are facing forward with the pom-poms facing front. Let dry
To Finish
Carefully form the milk-carton top of Baby Box’s head. This is done by pushing the sides inward along those dotted-line folds and bringing the ears together.
Place glue on the white tab and glue to the inside of the opposite panel.
Glue the back of the ears together. The Head is now done. Be sure to let set and dry completely. Baby Box is now done and ready to display!

Skyla was going to be a Princess Palace Pet for princess Elsa. However, the Princess Palace Pets discontinued and Elsa had become a queen. So, sadly, Skyla never made it beyond a possibility. We do know from a concept image what Skyla was supposed to look like.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skyla is a light blue artic fox with a slightly darker tail. She wears gold jewelry and a blue bow. Her hair and style mimics that of Elsa’s. style.
Skyla Story The story is not canon. It was actually written by a long-time Palace Pet fan, Marissa Grubbs (Thank you Marissa Grubbs):
Skyla the Arctic Fox – She met Elsa one day on the first day of winter. She was starting to make the snow until a sleeping fox popped up.
The coloring page features Skyla with her necklace, crown, and bow. To download the Skyla Coloring Page simply click the link below the image and save the PDF to your computer. Then print, color, and display. If you want Skyla to become a puppet:
print the coloring page on thick cardstock
Color the fox to your liking
Cutout the fox along the outer solid black line
make a kickstand out of cardboard.
Glue the kickstand to the back of the fox (or glue Skyla to a popsicle stick)

One of the episodes even includes a flashback of how Rubble became a member of the PAW Patrol. This collection is also filled with digging, building, and fixing items as Rubble and the team work together to solve problems, save animals, and more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got the chance to review this collection thanks to Nickelodeon and here is what I thought.
I am a huge fan of PAW Patrol. While PAW Patrol may be a preschooler’s show, the theme of working together to fix, save, and help is something even some adults need to learn. The concept of working together is lost on so many. So when I see a show that encourages the helping of others, problem solving, and working together, I take notice. Add cute pups, awesome vehicles, and high flying action and you get a well thought out show.
This collection of nine episodes focuses on mission that require construction and the help of Rubble and his abilities, hence the title Rubble on the Double. The nine episodes are:
Pups Get a Rubble
Rubble joins PAW Patrol
Pups Save the Beavers
Pups Save Three Little Pigs
Pups Save the Hippos
Pups Save a Cow
Pups Find a Genie
Pups and the Beanstalk
Pups Save Apollo
Pups Save the Woof and Roll Show
From joining PAW Patrol to saving a Woof and Roll show, PAW Patrol Rubble on the double inspires their audience to work together to help solve problems and find solutions. One of my favorite episodes was the “Pups Save Three Little Pigs.’ It takes a story from an old nursery rhyme and remakes it to be a bit more modern. Instead of a woof (although, there is the howl of a woof), a windstorm takes down the straw and stick houses that are built for the three little pigs. It takes Rubble making one out of bricks to keep the wind at bay.
I love these stories and characters. The remake of the Three Little Pigs was adorable and showed that not everything is as it sounds. Scary noises can have perfectly reasonable explinations…I need to remember this in the future hahaha. I give this collection FIVE stars. It is adorable, child friendly, great morals, and fun to watch.
