Sometimes I wish I was still in junior high. I really liked junior high and I played a game for the Wii not long ago that took me back, in a way. Boogie SuperStar is a karaoke/dance game that is rated 10+. It comes with it’s own microphone so that you can sing and the [...]

There are also free versions available at Apple that will provide a limited number of levels [...]

They call it a Big Book for a reason and they call her the big “O” for a reason. Apparently, they needed to document all the things that make Oprah happy in one big book called “Oprah’s Big Book of Happiness.” It contains over 366 pages from O Magazine that includes wisdom, wit, advice, interviews [...]

I have been sent a goldmine, literally. If the TV show Raggs ever gets into the public eye, I don’t see why it won’t take off immediately. I was sent a DVD with three episodes to review and a music CD, both of which were instant hits in our home.I love this show because it encourages [...]

If you’re a fan of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse series, you’ll love Mickey’s Storybook Surprises. (And by you I mean, of course, the children in your house. Because you won’t find me admitting that I liked this DVD. However, I’m not denying it.)
Cartoons and children’s shows have come a long way since the days when [...]

A recent long, rainy spell was saved from being a free for all by The Jeff Corwin Experience. We had received Season 2 to review and thankfully all four of my kids (ages 8 - 11) found it mesmerizing. Over a period of 2 days they sat and watched the 9 hours [...]

I recently received a BodyGuardz cover for my iPod Nano. BodyGuardz are plastic covers that protect your device from scratches and such. The concept is a good one and I was excited to get something that would protect my iPod from little fingers, and the abuse they can dish out. To make a very [...]

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 [...]

My son has wanted to see The Water Horse since it first advertised over the summer. It came out on Christmas and we waited a few days before heading over to the theater. The story is based on a novel by Dick King-Smithand about the longtime tale of the Loch Ness Monster.
I assumed the majority [...]

Rarely is a movie as good as a book. In fact, I typically do not watch movies that are made from books for that very reason.
Mitch Albom is one of my favorite authors. I’m sure many of you have either read or heard about several of his books, including “Tuesdays With Morrie” and “The Five [...]

I recently previewed “Hear My World” from the new Braincandy 5 Senses DVD series.
The shows are recommended for ages 0-4 and if you have been reading my sites for any length of time you know how I feel about media and babies. I’d say ages 2-4 would really enjoy them, though.
They’re ever [...]
