Much to Quincy's delight, we received some fun PLAY-DOH books on behalf of Mom Spark Media to review. She's had a lot of fun 'reading' them this week, and I don't blame her, they're pretty great! From learning new words to identifying what's in the picture, the PLAY-DOH books offer lots of opportunities to learn. An added bonus is we LOVE to play with PLAY-DOH so it's so easy to tie in the … [Read more...]
Sometimes you'll find that the overhead light or table lamp isn't quite enough to see your knitting. Or that maybe you want to read your kindle next to your spouse in bed without disturbing him or her. Or maybe you want some extra light while you're doing some woodworking. Whatever it is, the Beam N Read will help. The BNR LED 6-3 Beam N Read ® LED 6 Deluxe Hands Free Light is a simple to use … [Read more...]
Poor Sebby, Quincy has been going after his Tag reader for some time now, so our friends at Leap Frog were sweet enough to send Quincy her own Tag Junior. Now Quincy has sweet little Violet to help her learn to read.

Then I showed her how cool it was, and with … [Read more...]

He suggested reading books together with your child and to focus on their natural interests. Summers are a great time for freedom and to explore. Summer is over, and many of us are sending our kids back to school this week, me included. My son, … [Read more...]
Sebby loves books and he loves to read - so when I received a copy of Super Blake and The Cavity Monster by Tracy Bickhaus I knew he would like it! Meet Super Blake! He's a cool 5 year old boy who thinks (is) he is a Super Hero!! Super Blake knows it's important to keep his teeth healthy and strong, so he battles forces with villains like Cavity Monster, Ginger Vitis and Sir … [Read more...]
Well this is embarrassing. The week before Quincy was born we received a box from Vtech Toys (remember our awesome MobiGo giveaway?) I was home long enough to open the box and check it out their new V.Reader – which my son and I were instantly enamored with. Fast forward a 3am admittance to the hospital the next day and an emergency c-section about 36 hours later and I completely spaced on the … [Read more...]
