Handy Manny Big Race
Handy Manny is one of AJ’s favorite shows. We’ve got a few episodes on my iPod and he watches them over and over again when we’re waiting in line at a store or in the waiting room of the doctor’s office.
I know how to keep my boy happy. The fact is, when AJ is entertained instead of whining that he wants to go home….we’re all happier. I love Playhouse Disney shows for the quality and entertainment factors. And AJ was drawn to Handy Manny the first time he saw him.
Manny is debuting a brand new show, Handy Manny Big Race, a special family-night presentation on the Disney Channel this Saturday, March 20 at 7pm/6 central.
AJ was excited to see the Big Race trailer and even more excited to see the new Handy Manny games on Disney.com:
What are your plans for this Saturday night? Why not make it a family night, whip up some of Handy Manny’s Stoplight Cupcakes or some yummy Energy Snack, sit back on the couch together, and enjoy the new show?
PS–Did you know that Manny is on ? And you can watch Handy Manny and other favorite Playhouse Disney shows on Playhouse Disney’s YouTube channel.
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Playhouse Disney. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to get the word out about Handy Manny’s new show.

How to say I love you in English in 183 creative ways
It may seem English doesn’t have as many expressions to say “I love you” as, let’s say, French or Spanish, which are considered two of the most romantic languages in the world. However, there are more ways to express love in English than you may expect! That’s because there are many different situations that call for different ways to say those three little words.
So, to help you do that, we’ve prepared a (long) list of ways to say I love you in English. Ready? Let there be love!
Why learn how to say I love you in English?
Some people have no trouble expressing their feelings. For others, saying “I love you” doesn’t come easily. But no matter which one you are, knowing how to express your love for someone is important.
Here are a few reasons why:
It will help you express your feelings more fluently
Whether you’re falling in love, already deeply in love with someone, or want to express your feelings of love to your parents or friends, you may need different ways to say it.
Without a doubt, knowing how to say I love you in English will help you express your feelings more accurately and fluently.
You never know when you might meet your soulmate
Maybe you’re one of the lucky people who have already met their soulmates. Or, maybe you’ll meet them in the future. Either way, it’s important to be able to express how you feel about them! And even if you don’t believe in soulmates, there’s someone out there you care about.
It will help you express your appreciation of your close ones
Saying “I love you” isn’t reserved just for your romantic partner. You can also say it to your friends, family, or even your pup. A platonic “I love you” can mean many different things. It can mean that you appreciate them, love their company, or care about them.
Ways to say I love you in English
In English, “I love you” is the most common phrase used to express your feeling of love. It is a short sentence, but it is very powerful. We usually say it to our romantic partner or someone we’re in love with. However, it can also be used platonically, for example, to your mum or your best friend.
But, saying these three words may not always be appropriate, or you may not be ready to say them yet. So, other expressions beyond the standard “I love you” can come in handy in some situations.
Here are some ways to say I love you in English in different situations.

Four overtimes is too many
It feels unfair that the Panthers and Hurricanes have to play another hockey game Saturday night. The pair played seven full periods last night, ending their 8 p.m. local game around 2 a.m. with a 3-2 score in Florida’s favor. Matthew Tkachuk’s goal with just 12.7 seconds to play in the fourth overtime ended the sixth-longest game in NHL history.
The Panthers, man. This Eastern Conference finals opener was their fourth road overtime win of these playoffs, in which they’ve already slain the best regular-season team ever and a Leafs team that looked primed for a title shot. The 8 seed appears impervious to all negative conditions.
Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky deserves workers’ comp after registering 63 saves on 65 attempts. He was on the ice for nearly two and a half hours.
Thing is, this game almost ended at a normal-ish time, too, on Ryan Lomberg’s goal less than 3 minutes into the first overtime. Referees called off the goal due to goalie interference, and off we went on an hours-long adventure.
The Lakers blew it
Well, we still have a fantastic series. It might just end quicker than we thought.
The Nuggets are up 2-0 after a physical, grueling, 108-103 win that saw the Lakers up for most of the contest. Fatigue looked like it set in for LeBron James — who, despite his largesse, is 38 years old and entered the playoffs injured — and the Lakers by the end of the third quarter. Two sides of this:
- For the Nuggets, this is confidence. Denver could’ve easily lost both of these games. The Lakers were within one possession in the final minute of both. Yet Denver leaves these two games looking like the stronger, more grounded team. Nikola Jokić put up another triple-double. Jamal Murray caught fire and scored 37. Everything worked, and Michael Malone’s rest adjustment for Jokić paid off.
- The Lakers could’ve been up 2-0 but now face a must-win game Saturday. We should note that these teams only get one day off in between games, even as the teams shuffle between cities. Keep an eye on James and his minutes in Game 3.

Lance’s ‘substantial jump’ It’s been too long since we talked about the 49ers’ QB situation. Matt Barrows has an interesting story today about Trey Lance — the No. 3 overall pick who has lagged on the depth chart because of injuries — and his offseason workout program alongside none other than Patrick Mahomes. Lance supposedly has made a “substantial” jump in accuracy, according to private quarterbacks coach Jeff Christensen. Brock Purdy is still expected to start, but what do you do with Lance? Also, don’t forget the Niners signed Sam Darnold this offseason. Feels like someone is getting traded.
Hello, San Diego MLS is adding an expansion franchise in San Diego, the league announced yesterday. The new ownership group — which includes Padres star Manny Machado — paid a reported 500 million expansion fee, an eye-popping sum emblematic of MLS’ bright financial future. (David Tepper paid a 325 million fee in 2019 for Charlotte FC.) Read this handy explainer for a full history of San Diego’s bid. Also, it appears the team will be called San Diego FC, though that isn’t official just yet.
San Francisco to win SB bid? Sources confirmed to The Athletic that San Francisco is expected to win hosting rights for Super Bowl 60 when the official vote happens next week. This comes just 10 years after Levi’s Stadium hosted Super Bowl 50 in 2016. The new bid is even more surprising if you remember all the logistical issues with Super Bowl 50, which saw poor grass mar the game. They’ve apparently sorted those issues out, though.

Bryson DeChambeau had a great day at Oak Hill yesterday, shooting a 4-under 66 to finish one shot off the lead. He’s clearly in a good place, away from the spotlight, as Brody Miller wrote last month.
That did not stop him from having one of the funnier moments in the opening round of the PGA Tournament: hitting fellow golfer Kenny Pigman with an errant shot. Bonk:
Tom Kim’s mud party comes in a close second from yesterday.
Eric Cole — playing in just his second major — is your Round 1 leader, although his day ended early thanks to darkness. He’ll tee off at 7 a.m. ET to finish his round.
He’s a wonderful story, a “mini-tour legend” as Justin Ray wrote in his notebook. Cole’s last actual win netted him 8,000 on the Minor League Golf Tour. Now he’s sharing the lead at the PGA Championship, on an extremely difficult course, no less.
Maybe we have a new guy to root for.
