Different Enjoyable Children's TV Shows

My children, husband, and I have over the past decade sort of developed of hobby of finding different kinds of children's programming for our kiddos to enjoy.  Put off by Barney reruns and SpongeBob, we found TV shows from north of the border and over the pond.  Here are a list of TV shows you might not be familiar with, and some you may know about:

Boo!


A cute hide n seek show for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers,

Kipper

Kipper has fun, calmly depicted adventures with his friends Tiger, Pig, and little Arnold.

Charlie and Lola

Charlie is the big brother everyone wants in their family, especially if they have their own little Lola.

Theodore Tugboat

Done in the model, stop-motion style of early Thomas the Tank Engine shows.

Gofrette


Great for the little bit older kiddos.  Colorful, fun antics, great theme song.

Puffin Rock
Our newest find.  Such a cute show!

Postman Pat
There are 3 of these.  I like the original Postman Pat, though the newer one is cute, too.  There's also the spin-off Guess with Jess.

Zula Patrol


My kids learned so much about outer space from this show that my oldest answered just about every question asked at the homeschool field trip to the planetarium and I was asked what curriculum I was using.

3-2-1 Penguins


A Bible-verse-based moral is attached to every story.

Sitting Ducks


Another good one for the school-aged kiddos about two unlikely best friends.

Marvin, the Tap-Dancing Horse

I loved the vintage-y feel to this show and the story lines were cute for the kids.

My  Friend Rabbit


Cute, problem-solving show.

I will add more to the list if I think of any more.  Please add any of your suggestions in the comments.

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
