Recently the Activision Family Game Summit took place in New York. It was a great event showcasing hot holiday toys for 2012 and was hosted by Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster!) and panel of experts: Nicole Armstrong from Activision, Suzanne Kantera from Techlicious.com, and Patricia Vance from ESRB. I didn’t get the chance to attend in [...]
Recently I had the chance to surprise Kora and Logan with the Playskool Heroes Spider-Man Stunt Vehicle Assortment. They were thrilled to play with the Stunt Wing Spider Plane and the Flip-Out Stunt Buggy. These toys are targeted at ages 3-6 and I was worried they might be a bit too young for Kora & [...]
Kora and Logan are growing up so fast. Both kids are reading beyond their grade level and love reading books. One of the few things they enjoy more than reading is playing on the iPad. Kids Play Books has come up with a wonderful app for all of your iDevices (iPad, iPhone, iPod), Mac and Kindle Fire, Chug [...]
Fall is here and Halloween is right around the corner. Kora and Logan are so excited. Last year was the first year they really understood trick-or-treating, costumes, and they had a fantastic time. They really enjoyed helping me decorate the house and I was excited to do so again with them this year. I unpacked [...]
My 5-year-old daughter LOVES dolls! She can never seem to have enough so I was excited for her to have a chance to review the latest dolls from Blip Toys who are also the makers of squinkies. The collection has five dolls: Astra, Flix, Techno, Vizi and Gigi. They are from the bright and colorful [...]
Like most boys his age, Logan loves all things Spider-Man. I think it’s interesting that Spider-Man is one of his favorite characters even though he’s never seen a Spider-Man movie or even cartoon. It’s has to be because there are so many fun Spider-Man products out there! He was excited recently when he opened up [...]
With this summer being as hot as it’s been, we’ve spent a lot more time inside than usual. One thing that’s saved our sanity has been board games. Kora & Logan are now old enough to play a variety of board games and they really have a great time with them. Since we have a [...]
Kora & Logan love going to festivals and playing games. Some of their favorites include darts, throwing ping pong balls into the fish bowls, tossing bean bags, and throwing rings over milk bottles. As you can tell they enjoy all of the aiming and throwing games. That’s why when I heard about the Sonny the Seal [...]
Kora & Logan adore watching The Game of Life on tv. It a cute show full of fun thought-provoking questions that remind me of the board game we played often when I was little. When I heard about The Game of Life: zAPPed Edition for iPad I knew it was something the kids would be excited [...]
Tésa and Steffane have many fond memories of the summer afternoons they spent at their grandparent’s house swimming in their pool. We have often thought about how we would love to recreate those memories for our grandchildren. We didn’t however want to go to the expense of an inground pool when it would only be [...]
From the time Kora and Logan were little they have loved to color and draw. When they were only 2 and 1, I used to worry about them coloring with crayons or markers and accidentally coloring everywhere but where they were supposed too. They did pretty well and I never had any reason to worry [...]
This summer we have been very busy with traveling and playing outside. But now as the days are getting hotter we’re finding ourselves inside more and more. So we’ve started playing different games. The other day one of the games asked Kora & Logan to name two kinds of dinosaurs. They couldn’t do it. I [...]
We recently took a 15 hour road trip this summer to South Carolina. While packing for the trip, I was looking for some activities to keep the kids occupied. As soon as I saw the National Geographic Kids Ultimate U.S. Road Trip Atlas I knew the kids would love it. The book contains maps, games and [...]
One of Kora and Logan’s favorite things to do is play with Hot Wheels cars and tracks. That’s why when I heard about the Hot Wheels Double Dare Snare, I knew they would be thrilled to play with it. To amp up the excitement level, instead of simply opening up, putting together, and playing with [...]
A few weeks back I wrote a review of my trip to Atlanta for the Conversations with Coca-Cola Conference. While I was there I had the chance to learn about the many charitable campaigns and efforts of Coca-Cola. One of my favorites is the America Is Your Park program. The America Is Your Park Program [...]
