Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Sacramento, CA

The turkey's been carved, the pumpkin pies been devoured and tomorrow is black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year.  I am not planning on doing much shopping tomorrow.  The one place I will hit is my nearest Longs Drugs store.  I read through the piles of advertisements this afternoon and just one produce caught my eye. 

It's called the Pure Digital video recorder, and I received one for Christmas three years ago.  It is a video recorder that is the size of a small digital camera and half the weight.  When I noticed it the first time I figured the quality would be cruddy compared the the more expensive, larger video cameras until I saw the New York Times review sticker on the front.  So I put it on my Christmas list and for the last three years it has been a wonderful addition to my mommy documenting. 

It runs on two triple-A batteries, comes with the software built into the camera which downloads onto your computer via the USB drive which flips right out of the side.  This camera is amazing.  It has great quality and sound, it's easy to transfer and even email videos or put them on your iPod.  Originally I saw the camera for as much as $120, but this weekend it's on sale at Longs Drugs for $49.99!  My kids also love this camera. 

Not only have I used it to record endless soccer games and holiday events, but occasionally I allow them to take their own videos.  It's great because at this price I don't have to stress too much about it being dropped (which has happened several times!).  The little bugger keeps on ticking and I would highly recommend it to every mom.  Check out their website or hit Longs or Walmart or Target today.  Also a great gift for the kids to give dad or grandma!  www.PureDigitalInc.com
