Kylie Kelce Banned These Kids' Shows In Her House
As you probably know, Kylie Kelce is mom to four daughters — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and 3-month-old Finnley — with her husband, Jason Kelce. And in the latest episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the mom of four revealed that she has some pretty strict rules when it comes to what her girls watch at home. Giving her official 'guide to kids' TV,' Kylie revealed three shows she's 'banned' her kids from watching for 'a multitude of reasons.' 'I'm pretty sure there are studies that have shown that these shows are not correct,' she said. The first is Cocomelon. 'No. Aggressively no,' she said. 'If Cocomelon comes up on any of the screens, my daughters say, 'Oop, we're not allowed to watch that,' because I have doubled, tripled, quadrupled down. We are not watching Cocomelon in our house.' 'I do think that we should question anything that locks kids in the way Cocomelon locks them in. Specifically, as early as Cocomelon does,' she added. 'You might think I'm being a little unreasonable and a little dramatic, but you're fucking wrong. It is not good.' The second show on the list is Blippi. 'I don't even know where to start with this one. Blippi is weird to me,' she said. 'I don't like it. I understand that some of it is educational. I understand that it started, like, as an educational base — I'm good.' With those two out of the way, I fear this third and final one might ruffle a few feathers. According to Kylie, the Kelce kids are strictly banned from watching the Teletubbies — because her 4-year-old 'thinks it's creepy.' 'They have TVs in their bellies,' she said. For what it's worth, there are still plenty of shows that Kylie loves and is very happy for her girls to watch — namely, Sesame Street, which she placed in her 'top tier.' 'Big Bird is aging like fine wine,' she said. 'I really wanna know his skincare routine because he doesn't look a day older than when I used to watch him when I was little. It's crazy.' Other Kylie-approved shows include: Ms. Rachel, T.O.T.S., Bluey, Peppa Pig, and Puppy Dog Pals. As well as some of her childhood faves like Zoboomafoo, The Big Comfy Couch, SpongeBob SquarePants, PB&J Otter, and Bear in the Big Blue House. OK, time to give your thoughts on this. I think banning Cocomelon and Blippi is fair enough, but the Teletubbies? Sure, it's weird, but it's a classic!

The Ms. Rachel Singing Doll Is 40% Off For Prime Day
Helllooooo parents (or soon-to-be parents!), my name is Heather, and at the time I'm writing this, my son is 3 and my daughter is 1 (I'm out here truly in the trenches). As a parent of littles, the one thing I can *absolutely* stand by is my family's love for the admirable, adorable genius that is Ms. Rachel. If you also have kids, chances are she needs zero introduction. But if you *don't* and you're a delightful aunt, uncle, friend of the family (whoever!) looking for some insight, let me fill you in. That's me (pictured above) dressed as the queen herself for Halloween in Rachel has an *extremely* successful YouTube channel called "Songs For Littles" where she and other talented members of her team create videos of babies and toddlers that get them excited about learning to speak, sing, play, and more. The about page on her website perfectly explains that their videos are made "With a special focus on speech, language, and social-emotional skills, we're here to help your littles learn, bond, and thrive." TL;DR: Ms. Rachel is the best. Kids love her. Parents love her. The only qualms I personally had with her (and the brand) were that she didn't have merchandise for us to appreciate her further. Luckily, that's all changed! That's my toddler happily showing off his fresh Ms. Rachel era tee (she's basically his Taylor Swift). And you can check out more cute Ms. Rachel toddler tees, pajamas, or even a mini version of her signature look. Ms. Rachel has finally answered our parental pleas and released a *ton* of adorable and educational toys: think blocks, loveys, puzzles, tummy time items, and a book. Check out the Ms. Rachel shop page on Amazon to see for yourself. I've been lucky enough to snag the majority of these toys, so it is with GREAT authority that I tell you the cream of the crop is absolutely (and as expected) the Ms. Rachel Speak & Sing Doll — and it's on sale for 40% off for Prime Day!!! The cheapest it has EVER been! My kids (aged 3 and 1) are equally obsessed with our savior, Ms. Rachel. I've been using the fantastic Ms. Rachel Speak & Sing Doll to help get us through the crankiest times of the day (one click of it changes my daughter's entire persona, it's wild). It's been crafted by Gund, so you know it's a quality plush item. My son immediately wanted this doll to sleep in his crib — we just turned the sound off for the evening and told him Ms. Rachel needed some rest (haha). But it actually has a low/high setting to ensure it's sensory friendly for all kids — which I love. The doll boasts four songs and 16 phrases — all of which have been embedded into parents' brains already. If you *don't* know all the words to "Icky Sticky Sticky Sticky Bubble Gum" you're about to 😉. The doll also sings 'Wheels on the Bus,' 'Hop Little Bunny,' and 'I'm So Happy' — fan favorites, if you ask me. The phrases are all extremely positive, engaging, and reassuring (and that's just how *I* feel when I hear 'em). Other reviewers (and kids, of course!) adore this sweet plush Ms. Rachel as well: "I LOVE THIS! Ms Rachel is amazing, so I was so stinking happy for official merchandise. The doll is made so well, and my 1-year-old puts her through the wringer. The second she starts singing, it's like magic how quickly things can calm down. Super fun, no issues with my child using it, and she even made the volume changeable (thank you from an overstimulated mom). And it's soft and cute. Finally, I have a physical version of our best friend, Ms. Rachel!" —Momazon"This Ms. Rachel doll is a fan favorite in our house! My child loves carrying her around while singing along to the fun songs. The doll is soft, well-made, and looks just like her, which makes it even more special. It's a great companion for little fans of the show and encourages lots of imaginative play. If your kid loves Ms. Rachel, this doll is a must-have!" —Misty"I would highly recommend this doll! The attention to detail is impeccable, making it super realistic. It's so easy to use, just press the buttons and the doll sings and speaks. The size is perfect for little hands to carry and play with. This is such an amazing toy, every kid will love it!" —Lovannie When it was first launched, the doll was going in and out of stock on Amazon and was rumored to be as high in demand as Tickle Me Elmo was back in the day. Honestly, now that I've had it for seven months I can totally see why! I mean, just look how happy my kids are! A rare sight to see them both engaged and smiley at the same time — a parenting miracle, one might say. Get the Ms. Rachel Speak & Sing Doll for 40% off Amazon for $17.99 (don't forget to clip the coupon to snag this price) immediately, I promise you won't regret it. And while you're at it, take a look at all the other Ms. Rachel toys that are on sale for up to 58% off right now! Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

NASA's next frontier: A Netflix streaming deal
Netflix is already home to popular dramas like 'Squid Game,' movies and live boxing matches. The next frontier for the streamer: live rocket launches from NASA. The streaming giant on Monday said it is teaming up with the agency to bring space into viewers' living rooms, including with views of Earth from the International Space Station, to its vast content offering as the company treks further into the realm of live TV. Deal terms were not disclosed. Content from streaming service NASA+, which includes rocket launches, astronaut space walks and mission coverage, will be coming to the Los Gatos, Calif.-based streaming service this summer. 'The National Aeronautics and our Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience,' said Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+, in a statement. 'Together, we're committed to a Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration — inspiring new generations — right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone.' The content couldfit in with the streamer's other educational content, including documentaries and programs targeting families including 'Sesame Street' and Ms. Rachel. Children's programming has been a growth area for Netflix as it encroaches on the traditional broadcasters' turf. Netflix last year said it had more than 301 million subscribers. On Monday, the streamer said its audience encompasses more than 700 million people. NASA+ continue to be available and free on its website and on the NASA app. Space-related nonfiction programming has a long history for film and television viewers, whether through Imax museum documentaries and public broadcasting's storied NOVA franchise.
