This year I’m a National Geographic Kids Insider. Big hoey you say, but what that means to you is that we’ll be giving away lots of National Geographic Kids stuff! And if you have a child that loves animals then they know about Nat Geo Kids. The National Geographic Kids Almanac 2015 is aimed at children 8-12, but adults will enjoy looking at it just as much.

A month ago I said that I was going to get only one of the new Guardians of the Galaxy spin off titles. Star Lord was a good start and I them made some comments about Rocket Raccoon looking too weird and not really our style. Hello crow, I’ll have a second helping, thank you very much. Later that same week we bought Rocket Raccoon #1 and immediately couldn’t wait for #2 to come out. It’s very fun series that captures the humor of the characters while being OK for relatively young readers.

I don’t read Simpsons Comics every month. I know Matt Groening and Bongo Comics would love for me to, but I have to draw my comic budget somewhere. The reason that I picked up Simpsons Illustrated #12 is that A. It’s The Simpsons and B. It’s much thicker than the monthly book for only $1 more. I’m glad that I got Simpsons Illustrated #12 because it is really funny and a bit different than the regular comic.

Wait, you said that you were listening to Spanish with your kids, what’s up? We are indeed listening to the Spanish program that Whistlefritz has, but I also want our children to know bits of French. Once you get past the pronunciation the two languages have lots in common and the best way to learn a language when you’re a child is through exposure, immersion and repetition. Whistlefritz , On Va Jouer (Let’s Play) has many of the songs that are on Allons Danser, the French for kids music CD.

In November 2013 we reviewed Alphablock from these same authors and our headline was almost the same. Countablock follows the same presentation that Alphablock did so well, except this time with numbers from 1 to 100. It’s written by Christopher Franceschelli with the art by Peskimo. Countablock is intended for ages 1-3, but our almost 5 year old loves it and don’t get tired of reading it to them either.

This shop has been compensated by #CollectiveBias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. Being the stay at home parent we go to Publix at least 3 times a week. I cook all of the meals for the family and sometimes a new recipe is as simple as adding hot sauce to it. Hot sauce recipes, when used correctly can add flavor and taste. The goal when cooking for us is a balance of adding new flavors for the boys and adding a little heat for my wife and me.

Back in the day I had massive 4’ speakers. There were four of them and they were not cheap. But, as a guy who worked in radio, I needed to have sound that was big. This in no way was trying to compensate for a Napoleonic Complex, it was all work related-really. Now CDs are all but dead and cassettes are just a toy for children to unwind; while LPs and streaming services are cool. This month Best Buy is having August Audio Month, a chance to solve all your audio issues,special pricing, events and lots more.
