Welcome to the Space Show, big scale, grand visions, too long

Welcome to the Space Show is a Japanese anime science fiction film that is appropriate for all ages. It’s anime, set against a science fiction story that has massive visions and almost gets there, almost. Welcome to the Space Show has some of the most gorgeous animation that I’ve ever seen. For a solid hour every scene has something fascinating, new and wondrous on it. Even outside of that hour the film is visually stunning, but there are a couple elements that keep me from really recommending it.

The Pop Ups: Appetite For Construction, for children and beyond

Some children’s music is only for children, it’s the music that you play when you’re driving that makes you yearn for a bug to fly in your ear. To an extent it is all about the kids being happy when they’re in the car. The latest release from The Pop Ups firmly plants the music in your head, never lets go and is enjoyable from start to finish for many reasons.

The Chicco ACTIV3 Stroller review

The maze of figuring out what stroller to purchase can be really confusing. The jogging strollers look the coolest to some, but may not be able to accommodate the baby carrier. A combination stroller of sort is the Chicco ACTIV3 Stroller; it works with children 6 months old to 50 pounds and is good for everyday use, as well as more active occasions.

Black & Decker Pivot Vac review: cordless, strong and real

Hand held vacuums suck-and not in the way that they should. Their batteries are weak, they don’t feel like a vacuum and don’t produce enough suction to even pick up rogue pieces of cat or dog food. The Black & Decker Pivot Vac comes in and 18V and 20V version. We tried out the 20V version and it has enough power to really pick things up, is surprisingly strong and does the cordless job for about ten minutes.

Children’s birthday party etiquette, presents and more

We just finished going through 4 children’s birthday parties over the past month. They were for kids 3-10 years old and each one had a different theme. In one facet or another they were all great, but we learned lots about how much to spend on presents, where to have the party, what to do at the party and how to RSVP that might save you some headaches.

Drive an exotic sports car on a racetrack near Atlanta, really

Cars are expensive. Exotic sports cars are even more expensive. Driving an exotic sports car is something that I, along with most of my friends have wanted to do. As most (see: none) of our friends have an Aston Martin, McLaren, Lamborghini or Ferrari that they’ll let us rip wide open I guess it’s up to Xtreme Xperience to put me in the driver’s seat.

Planet Gigantic #1 review: all ages galactic comic book fun

Planet Gigantic #1 has something for every all ages comic reader. The main story focuses on two teenagers with special powers who crash land on a strange planet. There is a separate story that is almost as interesting Lyana looking for a magical eye. Both stories have female heroes, enough action to satisfy all readers and they both deal with consequences, as well as taking risks.

CitiBlocs-as simple or difficult as any age child wants to make them

Children love blocks. Make a block tower, knock it down and laugh hilariously. Citiblocs takes that idea, simplifies it and makes it much more complex for older players too. I use the word players, but it’s not a game; rather it’s a building system that doesn’t have pegs, notches, different sized pieces or is rendered obsolete if you lose a piece. It’s simply blocks cut to the precise measurements of 1:3:5:15.
