I have a love/hate relationship with the Family Fun magazine. On the one hand I love getting each issue and reading about all of the fun and colorful ideas they feature each month. There have been some ideas that I’ve taken from fellow readers  and they’ve been a big success at our house. But on [...]

When I first heard about the app, Can You Find It?, I assumed it would be a typical seek and find game. Turns out it’s more like riddles wrapped up into a game of I Spy. The app works like this. You are given a picture and a clue. When  you’ve figured out the clue [...]

I’ve been contacted by the Case Foundation, a group dedicated to promoting philanthropy and civic involvement. They wanted to let me know that they are giving away an iPad for Mother’s Day.  That would be an excellent Mother’s Day gift indeed! The contest runs until May 10th and you can visit their site to enter [...]

I was very excited to find the Blokus app in the App Store last week! My kids love putting the colorful plastic pieces together, trying to outwit each other to win the game. We aren’t the best strategist but we have fun. So I made a splurge and spent the $4.99 on the app and [...]

If you’d like to try out his recently updated app please leave me a comment. You can also read what he has to say about the updates here. I’ll randomly select four winners at the [...]

The app Color Me!! has been updated again. It has three new categories (Dinosaurs, Cars and Girls World) and some other features. I haven’t tried the new version out but I have three promo codes to give away. I’ll give away the promo codes to the first three readers to leave me a comment. The [...]

KiddyLight is a silly and charming little app for children who have issues with the dark. I suppose it would also be good for adults with similar fears. The app turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a flashlight. Ordinary enough but then you swipe the screen and the screen changes which then changes the [...]

Last week I received an email from Duck Duck Moose letting me know they’d just released their first iPad app. My internal response was a combination of “Goody!” and “Hooray!” and “I’ll bet it looks fantastic!” because their past apps have been wonderful and a big hit at our house. So did Fish School live [...]

We have four children and we have gone through a baby monitor with each child. I’m not sure why they fail on us every time but it probably has something to do with our buying cheap baby monitors. Inevitably the cord gets a short and you never know when it’s working or not. There’ve been [...]

My Baby Enstein is an app from the actual Baby Einstein people. Confession time, I never watched a Baby Einstein video with my three oldest children. Maybe I will have to play catch up with my youngest. I do know what it’s all about though and we’ve got a couple of Baby Einstein toys, one [...]
