Do You Know Rocket Science?, go-to, fun STEM for pre-k

From its title, Do You Know Rocket Science? could be confused with something from the What Is or Who Was from the Who HQ authored series of books. While that series is awesome, they’re for older readers, which is somewhat ironic given the subject matter of rocket science. Instead, Do You Know Rocket Science? is actually a book about rocket science, that’s presented on a level that pre-k through first, as well as, their parents, will understand and enjoy. It’s from Chris Ferrie, an author who we’ve written about on a couple of occasions that has a knack for turning science and STEM into something that kids want to know about.

Do You Know Rocket Science? is a Level 1 book for beginning readers that sets up a potentially complex idea in a manner that ages four through six will enjoy.
It’s OK if you and the young reader learn this together

The Fisher-Price Octonauts Octopod Playset provides hours of free play fun

Prior to receiving the Octonauts Octopod Playset to review we hadn’t seen the show.  I was aware of it, but hadn’t seen an episode of it.  Since our oldest has been playing with the Octonauts Octopod Playset he’s been sounding the Octo Alert, rescuing various sea critters and wondering why this show isn’t available on Roku.   Parents who are down with the Octonauts know what I’m speaking about the others will discover it when their child is about 3 or 4.

The Joovy CocoonX2 Double Stroller is the only one you need with two kids

When you have more than one small child who needs a stroller it gets complicated.   When your youngest child is old enough to not be in a car seat while in the stroller your options open up dramatically.   Do you get a jogger stroller, regular stroller or a bike trailer that you can put your little people into?   The Joovy CocoonX2 Double Stroller is all of those types of strollers in one-and it does them all very well. Continue reading The Joovy CocoonX2 Double Stroller is the only one you need with two kids

Our family lessons learned between the first and second child

Our youngest will turn 2 years old in a couple of months.  The cliché that the time flies by is every so true.  You can’t believe they were ever that small and so forth.  The bending of time that happens after the second child is born is quick, you blink and suddenly they’re 2 years old.  If I could talk to myself a couple of months before our second child arrived here is a list of things that I would suggest.

The BMW Maclaren Buggy review

So a couple of months ago I was sent the BMW Maclaren Buggy to review.    We have two children, one 20 month old and one 3.75 YO.  One of them can’t walk too long without bumping into something and the other one sometimes just likes to be pushed around like Ben-Hur.  The BMW Maclaren Buggy is perfect for both of them and for the parent who happens to be pushing them, let’s take a look.
