The Guardians of the Galaxy Milano Starship review

By now you know that we’re fans of Guardians of the Galaxy.  We’re not purist fans that are true to the characters that originated back in the day.  We’ve been following them since issue #1 of the re-boot comic- not that I’m pretending to be a purist or uber fan by pointing that out or anything.  We were sent the Guardians of the Galaxy Milano Spaceship to play with, possibly review and imagine ourselves as Star-Lord, Rocket or Groot.

Taking the family to the beach on a Prius #ToyotaRoadTrip #ad

We were provided with a Toyota Prius for review purposes for this post.   Drive a car for 5 hours to the beach you say?  Sure that sounds great, but we’re packing enough for two small children (a stroller, pack n play) plus clothing for a one week vacation.  The Toyota Prius didn’t look big enough to be comfortable and do this, but I’ve always wanted to drive one so here goes our #ToyotaRoadTrip to Hilton Head.

Skyward #9 concludes this story arc-still great all ages comic

When we took a look at Skyward #6 it was awesome.  The series was a fabulous tour de force all ages comic that captured the attention of parents and children.  The final arc of The Battle For Three Rivers ends in issue #9 of Skyward and it’s still very good, but left me wanting more.

A non-tech review of the D-Link Wireless Range Extender

I’m not a tech guy.  Recently we had two tech issues that challenged me and provided the perfect testing opportunity for the D-Link Wireless Range Extender, the DAP-1320.  It was such a perfect testing opportunity that it’s possibly they sabatoged our internet and planted the idea to move our office to the other end of the house.  Did the D-Link do the trick?

Hey Arnold! the complete series available on DVD at Walmart

If you watched Nickelodeon in the mid to late 90’s you probably saw some of Hey Arnold!  The exclamation mark at the end is intentional and this cartoon is aimed at the demo that loves what Nick does-with a hipster West Side Story style beginning.  Arnold, the football headed fourth grader is back on DVD with the complete series now available at Walmart.

The Ice Cream Expedition from National Geographic Kids in Atlanta, 8/20

It’s a cross county road trip with an old ice cream truck, three friends, eco conservation, film making and a dash of National Geographic Kids.  Three friends, Caleb Kruse, Cameron Kruse and Jordan Fatke purchased an old ice cream truck, retrofitted it to run on vegetable oil and are driving around the county this summer.  They’ll be giving away ice cream to children around the county, teaching them about conversation, having them sign a pledge and possibly eat some more ice cream-or maybe that’s me eating some.

Win a copy of The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School giveaway

In our zeal to review The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School we neglected to put up the giveaway.  If you didn’t read the review, the book is great.  It’s a nice bedtime book that has lots of rhyming, short sentences and a simple, positive lesson for children to learn.

Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon review: action figure or collectible?

Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon is 10” of smack talking genetically modified plastic raccoon that moves when his gun fires.  Press his leg or the button on this gun and his torso will shake forward while the gun lights up.  This is a fun toy-and our kids love playing with it, but there is something about it that blurs my line between an action figure and collectible.
