I love the idea behind this show, it's so inspiring. All three of the hosts are great, and I LOVE Amy Miles' music! Her new album King of Girls is seriously becoming one of my favorites.

It is really cool to watch the girls build and learn all of this. My own child was part of a program that did this when they were growing up, and it showed them to do so much more then could have imagined. Expanding the brain, and having fun does while doing it is great.
