Thanks for swinging in! Writing with a bunch of smart young people, we blog about the monkey business of life with tweens 8-15, and love anything shiny and new. Book/movie/game reviews, shopping, nom nom snacks, OMG news and issues, pop stars, and YouTube LOLs are fair game in this jungle.

Shiny Saturday Giveaway

Today's Saturday and instead of going shopping, why not leave a comment below and win a new, shiny, prize in celebration of our favorite shiny award show - the Oscars!

This week's prize is great for tweens: a pair of Regal Theater movie tickets in light of the upcoming Oscars (Feb. 27th, your ABC station).

Note: I've got the coolest job providing PR for Massachusetts' sold-out Oscar Night Boston gala benefitting The Ellie Fund, live on WCVB-TV 5.  I'll be hanging with casting gurus, some of "The Fighter" sisters (Erica and Melissa - so nice, see below!) and other glitteri on the local film scene and you can bid on movie memorabilia in their online auction, all helping women fight breast cancer.  Here's the link to the auction - cool stuff!


Although it is a Sunday night (school night), an Oscar Night viewing party is a great activity to plan with your movie-obsessed tween - we like to bet on who gets the most "picks" correct!  Check out some fun ideas here right from the Academy.

So if you haven't seen one of the Oscar-nominated movies, now's the time... on me! Just leave a comment below with the name of a recent movie you or your tween would like to see, and I'll pick a random winner next Friday and let you know!
