This post is brought to you by Moms With Apps and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own. As a dad with devices in the house we download some apps. Previously we wrote about Moms With Apps and how it can really save parents time when and money when it comes to downloading the correct children’s apps. In October they surveyed more than 450 parents to get their thoughts about children’s apps and the findings were right in line with our thoughts, with one big exception.

National Geographic Kids Cook Book review

We received a copy of the book for review purposes and are a National Geographic Kids Insider for 2014. All thoughts are our own. No stunt cooking was involved in the post. I cook most of the food for the family, but I’m not really a cook. I’m good at experimenting in the kitchen at things with things that, most of the time tastes great. I sometimes don’t follow the recipes….so when things fall flat it’s usually my fault. However, since our sons see me cooking I know that I should be using recipes, at least until they’re old enough to experiment on their own. Our oldest has latched onto what he calls ‘my cook book’, which in reality is the National Geographic Kids Cook Book.

Medikidz Explain Seizure Assistance Dogs, a medical comic book kids can relate to

Medikidz is a series of comic books that explain medical conditions. What is impressive about the series is that they potentially complex conditions in ways that children can relate to and understand.

Patema Inverted is original, mind bending anime for fans of the genre

The plot for Patema Inverted takes a moment to digest. It’s the story of two teens who live on opposite gravities on the same planet. Patema is a princess and lives underground in an industrial area while Age lives on the surface and is part of a totalitarian society. So far, so good, right? But here’s where it gets tricky.

A Letter to Momo, offbeat anime drama w/humor that works well

A Letter to Momo is an anime film that works on several levels, including the most elusive of all-getting non-anime fans to enjoy the film. That’s no easy task considering that a focal point of the movie is the death of young girl’s dad very early in the film. It’s from the creators of Ghost in the Shell and like that film is rich, detailed and provides a chamber of commerce look as aspects of Japan.

What if you died today?

I don’t mean that as a threat or an ultimatum, but rather, what if you were the victim of a tragic accident and killed today? Don’t get me wrong, I’m an incredibly optimistic person. I never obsess about the worst case scenario. I do, however; acknowledge that it could occur, but I factor in all possible outcomes and accept that it will be one of those. The worst case and the best case normally don’t happen, it’s somewhere in the middle. But what if you, or I, never came home again to see our loved ones?
