Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is:

What makes you the happiest?

The winner is comment #155: Chrysa
Congratulations!

With all the new tween characters on television these days, it’s hard to keep up and decide which ones are appropriate for my girls. Maybe it’s just me but even some of the more popular shows have inappropriate behaviors and lots of boy-craziness going on. Not exactly suitable for my 6 year old. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I first watched iCarly with Girlie Girl.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

You asked for more, so you’re getting more! More Season 1 of iCarly! Join Carly, Sam and Freddie as they deal with all the craziness of school, growing up, and crankin’ out the best web show out there, iCarly.com!

MY REVIEW

What I really liked about this show is the way they try to promote interaction amongst the viewers. It’s a novel and cool idea and helps to make the kids feel like they can make a difference, like someone is interested in what they have to say. I also appreciate the fact that there isn’t too much chasing the boys around or being overly concerned about appearances.

iCarly Season 1, Volume 2 is scheduled to released on April 21st.
