This book is tasty and fun! The Baby & Toddler On the Go cookbook was a fun one to thumb through. With bright pictures, a great layout and easy to follow recipes, it’s definitely one for the shelf.  The book starts out giving great advice on how to plan, prep and cook your meals and [...]

Mother’s Day is coming up next weekend! A day where moms of all types can be celebrated. A blogger friend of mine is a mom who wrote an amazing book about open adoptions. This would make a great gift idea for others who are going through, or have been through, a similar process.  Here is [...]

Of all the blogs in all the world, they had to walk into mine… I mean, I had to read theirs.  Charlie Capen and Andy Herald are the bloggers behind the hilarious blog HowtoBeaDad.com. And when I say it’s hilarious, it’s hysterical, laugh so loud you wake the kids up type funny. One of my [...]

My kids are very plugged in. From iPod to iPhones, laptops to online playing with the playstation, it seems they are online, or have the ability to be, at every moment of the day. Teaching them, and myself, how to properly use the internet, keeping them safe and keeping up with the technology is no [...]

I’ve been on a personal journey to lose 15 pounds. The Freshman 15 came and went, the “honeymoon is over” 15 did the same. The 15 lbs after the first kid came off easy, a little less easy for the 15 after the 2nd child. Now the third is turning 5 next week and I [...]

When they asked if I wanted to review it I leapt at the chance!  Mr. Pencil and the Lost Colors of Doodleburg is about an evil mastermind, Dr. Dull and his attempts to drain Doodleburg of [...]

Valentine’s day is so fun for the kids. Making mailboxes, signing all the cards, listening to the groans from the kids when they realize they have 31 kids in their class, agreeing to help them sign the cards, drinking wine at 11pm and trying to forge a 7 year-old’s handwriting… good times. Now Shutterfly makes [...]

We Love LEGO®! It’s no surprise to anyone that knows us. We’ve been to LEGOLAND in California, many many LEGO® stores and spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours constructing. We are even making brick and minifigure crayons for Valentine’s this year.   My boys also love watching The Official LEGO® Channel on youtube and creating their [...]

Once again LeapFrog comes to my rescue. Carter is obsessed with dinosaurs and had been asking about getting some new books on the subject. We received LeapFrog’s Leap and the Lost Dinosaur book in the mail the very next day. It’s like they are reading my mind! Leap and the Lost Dinosaur is a book that [...]

We get a ton of toys to review, play with, upload and download. Toys with buttons, gadgets, wifi and 3G. Toys that play music and flash lights and spin around on the floor. My boys are, what I would consider, professional toy testers. Given all the toys they have seen, I was impressed beyond belief [...]
