A few years back, the various companies that make games started an advertising campaign about the joys of Family Game Night. I kind of dismissed it because my two boys were not even close to being able to follow directions and let’s not even discuss what would happen if they lost a game.
Fast forward to [...]
My daughter adores Door-da (that’s Dora, in her cute two-year-old language). She could really do without television, if it weren’t for Dora and her buddy Boots and their cute adventures. For my part, I don’t really mind letting her watch an episode here and there since she always seems to learn something.
As for my four-year-old [...]
A couple of times a week, when I’m packing my son’s lunchbox and snacks for school, I try to tuck in a little something. A joke. A little note. A small toy. Just something to perk up his lunchbox and put a smile on his face in the middle of the day. Something to let [...]
With the kids out of school due to President’s Day, we decided to go check out the latest adventure movie geared to kids, Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Lightening Thief. The previews have been showing for awhile now and since I have two boys who really enjoy action movies, this one looked very [...]
Spike the ULTRA DINOSAUR made by Imaginext® charmed his way into my daughter’s heart the first time she saw him. I know you’ve seen the displays. All the kids keep pushing the button to make him stomp and ROOOAARR!!! He is too cool!
We met Spike for the first time Christmas morning. I had him wrapped up in such [...]
My daughter wanted a racetrack for Christmas. I saw the Fisher Price Shake n’ Go! Xtreme Speedway advertised and thought it would be perfect for her. It seemed easy to use and durable enough for a 3 year old. The cars are also rechargeable.
It doesn’t take long to get the track assembled. The pieces go [...]
I can remember when I was a kid and Snow White on Ice was being performed at a local arena. The lights and sounds were so magical! Well, we’ve been catching ads on TV about Disney on Ice: Let’s Celebrate show coming to Cleveland next month. We have 4 tickets to go and I’m so excited for my [...]
Six years ago when I was pregnant with my son, waiting to have a homebirth for a week while dealing with intermittent horrendous contractions (he weighed 11 lbs and had a huge head — it took that week to mold it), we discovered the world of viewing cable TV series via DVD.
We had no cable [...]
My husband, our five year old and I have just returned from the movie “This is It.”
Yes, maybe five seems a little young to sit and watch Michael Jackson for 2 hours, but it was rated PG and we have few opportunities to see it during the limited engagement so we went for it.
Talk about [...]
I love Halloween and all the fun that comes along with it. This year, I decided to throw a party for my boys and their friends to take full advantage of the fun that could be had. So, last weekend we had our 1st Annual Halloween Party. I’m going to share a few of the [...]
