The toy catalogs are arriving and my younger kids are spending hours sifting through, over and over, circling all of their wants and dreams. Once upon a time all Josh ever wanted was a Buzz Lightyear for Christmas. Now his list is full of crazy expensive items like HD televisions, an Xbox 360, camcorders and laptops. Having two “sets” of children my holiday shopping list has a wide variety of items on it. The younger children are still very much … [Read more...]

by 7 Comments
Ethan has recently started asking if he can use Mommy’s iPad. Because Mommy does not want to share her tablet, I was excited to let him try the vtech InnoTab 2. Out of the box the InnoTab 2 has a nice solid feel. The rubberized edges are there to help absorb shock for when the kids drop it (I say when because they will and Ethan already has). The camera flips/rotates to the front or back making it fun for self portraits, taking pictures … [Read more...]
