Bonding over Hannah Montana

This is a sponsored post

So, we had nine little girls (ages 4 through 7) over the other day to watch Hannah Montana the Movie in our new Disney Blu-ray home cinema set up. It was only supposed to be four friends, but it got a bit complicated with siblings pleading to come when they heard one of the Blu-ray extras was a step-by-step instructional guide on how to learn the Hoedown Throwdown. I was in a good mood, and you know, the more the merrier...

After a bit of refereeing (the 7-year-olds annoyed with the 5-year-olds for being too silly and "childish"), I plopped them in front of the television and turned on the Blu-ray. When I came back with popcorn they were all mesmerised by the high definition picture and especially the sound -- which made the beginning of the film -- when Miley is late for her own concert -- really feel like you were there. Soon they were all singing "Best of Both Worlds," wiggling and giggling around.

I'm not embarassed to say I love Hannah Montana. Not because I think she's particularly talented, but because there's something about music that is bonding and me and my daughters have a fabulous time pretending we're pop stars.  The girls are young enough not to be embarrassed by their ex-cheerleader mother leading the pack with pop it, lock it, polka dot it, countrify then hip-hop it, put your hawk in the sky, move side to side, jump to the left, stick it, glide..............

You can try it yourself, here's a video with Miley (you didn't really think I'd video myself did you?)

I would have loved to see you dance. You can do it after serving the soup, what do you say?

Big M had to go on a trip last night and was looking to download a movie to his iPod. "What's Hannah Montana?' he asked, and I said 'It's great, get it!' Unfortunately he watched the trailer. I was already looking forward to his call asking me if I went completely nuts.

Ooh, I keep getting sent DVDs, but as much as I love my little flat screen and video DVD machine - but it is very retro!

You must be either lovely or mad to invite that many kiddies!

Met Mum -- I would love to hear that call!

Suprised -- mad

Ha ha

I took my little girl to the pictures to see this three times as she loved it that much.

She just tried to have a go at learning this dance and ended up in a bit of a tangle....
