Ode to lots of tech devices that need to be charged. We have a couple Apple devices, multiple earpieces, Bluetooth speakers and Samsung devices. It’s a jungle of white and black cords. The IPEVO USB SuperCharger is the weed wacker to said jungle, streamlining 4 charging cords from its single base.
The Deck Wireless Speaker from SOL Republic has been our go-to Bluetooth speaker ever since we reviewed it. The sound is something else. When it powers up you can actually feel the bass come on because it moves the air around the bottom of the unit. We reviewed the Deck only in our first post, but now, we can give one away as part of #BlogPop. Hint: it’s awesome and the sound will really deliver.

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.
