After a wonderfully relaxing Summer, our family hits “Back to School” and Fall fast and fierce. In addition to the craziness of juggling three kids back in school and homework and packing lunches and remembering to send library books back on the right day (gah!!! my nemesis!), we also have two kids in soccer this…
Have you ever wished you could take all of those cool apps from your phone or tablet and blow them up on your big screen TV instead? Watch movies from your Netflix app or videos from YouTube on a screen you can actually see? Play the ultimate game of Temple Run with your kids? Now…
I’ve come to learn, over years of shopping for Back To School supplies, that everyone has their favorite new school supply. For some it’s a new box of sharp crayons. Others love a new backpack or a crisp new notebook. For me, it has always been the planner! Completely empty with the promise of keeping…
We are partnering with Step2 for the following review. I received a product in exchange for my review and honest opinion. No other compensation was provided.

With less than 16 months until it’s theatrical release, Star Wars fans everywhere are counting down the days until December 18, 2015.

With just over 3 weeks until my kids head back to school, we are in full-on Back To School shopping! I’ve sorted through the supply lists sent home by the teachers and made my lists — Items to Buy and Items to Reuse. See, in our house, school supplies (especially backpacks and lunch boxes) get…
Once upon a time ago, I was looking forward to this moment. The moment when all three kids would be heading off to school (at least for some portion of the day) and I would have a few hours of quiet time. But, now that we’re here, I’m in complete denial! My calendar says that…
Summer jewelry. It’s pretty much an oxymoron for me. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love jewelry and adore the fun some pieces I see so many of my friends wear in the summer months. But, for me…I tend to to go be a summer jewelry minimalist. Just my wedding ring and earrings. Both of which…
Welcome to the Mickey Mouse “Clayhouse”! You heard me right! The Clubhouse has been transformed into the “Clayhouse”…in the newest app from Disney Publishing — Squish! Squish: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse allows kids to put their creativity to the test as they manipulate digital pieces of 3D clay in the app. Select from a 3D model…
From making their own siren noises to oohing and ahhing over the flashing lights, all three of my kids have loved seeing and watching rescue vehicles even at the earliest age. And, rightfully so because even the youngest of heroes want to get in on the “rescue” action! That’s why I know that your toddlers are going to love…
This is Bob. More commonly known as Sphero! But we’ve named ours Bob. Sphero is quite possibly the smartest little robot ball you’ll ever meet! And cutest! With the help of your smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android), you can bring this interactive ball to life. Here’s the basic gist of Sphero: simply pair the bluetooth…
