Cranium Bloom Count & Cook Game »

We recently received a sample of the Count & Cook game which retails for $13 and is for 2-4 players (again, age 3 & up). It takes only about 10 minutes to play and is great for kids who love to help in the kitchen.
As I said, my son is only 21 months old but [...]

Cranium Bloom Makes Zoo Animals Fun to Find »

I have loved playing Cranium since I got it for Christmas a couple of years ago. I’m a total dork and I love board games - especially when I get to act goofy, draw and make things with clay all in the same game. So when I was given the opportunity to try [...]

The Backyardigans Born to Play Music Rocks! »

I hate to admit this. In fact, I’ve tried thinking of a way to just say my son loved the new Backyardigans music album, Born to Play, but I can’t come up with the right words. So, I’ll just come out and say it. Yes, I was rocking out in my mini-van to their new [...]

Who Knew Oil Was So Good For Our Skin? »

I have even gotten prescriptions from my dermatologist and paid [...]

Mary B’s Open Kettle Dumplings Are Like Noodles »

I have lived in the South and in the North. I appreciate that depending on where you live, you can order a hoagie, grinder or sub, and still end up with a very similar sandwich. I also realize that people in different regions, eat and drink things to the taste palette of the region. Sweet [...]

Skybus Because Only Birds Fly Cheaper »

That slogan is accurate. Skybus is the newest airline to make saving money almost as fun as taking a vacation. Based in Columbus, OH this low cost carrier is safe, fully automated and fun. They have brand new airbus airplanes that are clean and comfy, and their staff is friendly and helpful.
I have always been [...]

Polaroid i735 Camera Works For Kids »

This past Christmas my older daughter wanted only one thing from Santa – a pink digital camera. In the past we’ve gotten her those oversized, kid-friendly type models. However, to her they seemed more like toys rather than the “real thing” because the quality of the photos were usually less than desirable and the LCD [...]

Tomo & Edie Kimono’s Cool Way To Dress Babies »

This is cool! That was my first impression of the Tomo & Edie Baby Kimono I got to review with my newborn. It is way different than all the other baby clothes you normally see. The kimono is 100% organic and the seams and tags are all on the outside so that it is more [...]
