I Am So Brave! really does help children overcome fear

I Am So Brave! is helpful in teaching children that some situations they may find scary can be overcome.  Initially I thought the book was too simplistic for even our two and a half year old.  Because of that the book stayed in my office for two weeks.  It wasn’t until a big thunderstorm came to the house that I realized just how helpful I Am So Brave! could be in action.

The #ArribaPlanes twitter party, July 10, 9PM, prizes from @BowlAMF and more!

If you have a child under 8 you probably saw Planes last year.  Those adults that saw the movie also enjoyed the voice cameos and some of the hipper jokes too. The story of planes with personality and the underdog tale of Dusty is the stuff that is perfect for movie goers in that age group.    Planes-Fire & Rescue is coming to theaters on July 18 and Bloggin Mamas has teamed up with Disney Pictures, Party City and Bowl AMF for the #ArribaPlanes twitter party on July 10 at 9 PM.

Guardians of the Galaxy #16, great story & art-bring on the movie

I am not just saying that Guardians of the Galaxy is the best comic book out there now simply because of the movie coming out. I tried to embrace Green Lantern prior to that movie, but the story and movie just didn’t hold my attention. I have high hopes for the Guardians movie and have been reading this incarnation of the comic book since it came out last year.  Guardians of the Galaxy #16 continues with the team in shambles, spread out across the galaxy, trying to fight out of their situations and get back together.

7 years ago I married my best friend-Happy Anniversary~!

Children are the barometers of life.  Just as the high pressure system brings certain weather, when children hit a certain age parents have a vague expectation of what to expect.  Before our family weather system started there was a marriage; the date that started the union which begets the anniversary and a series of reminders on Google weeks prior to that special day.

In a way, the dogs are responsible for us meeting and the proposal

Bug-A-Salt fires salt and your flyswatter to kill flies dead-giveaway

The Bug-A-Salt is a very clever product, with a great name that should only be used by adults.  That is worth mentioning because our oldest loves, absolutely loves to chase flies around the house with a flyswatter.  Hilarity ensues, but the fly always wins as he goes off to tell his friends about our wonderful garbage.  The Bug-A-Salt is a pump activated device that fires salt when you pull the trigger.  Flies die, there is no splatter and you feel like Private Hudson from Aliens.

Baby Bjorn Travel Crib Light 2 is super simple & light-giveaway

Growing up my father used to say “you’re not holding your mouth right”, when I was trying to do something but not succeeding.  It was always a seemingly simple task that proved frustrating because it looked like it should be happening, but wasn’t.  Putting up a pack and play is like that, especially the middle bar that folds in half.  Enter the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib Light 2.  Coming in at only 11 pounds it’s the lightest, easiest travel crib we’ve ever used.

The Baby Neptune Ocean Orchestra: great sound, interactive and fun

As I mentioned, we love Baby Eisnstein.  We had an earlier version of the Baby Neptune Ocean Orchestra when our oldest was just a baby.  While the toy was fun and played some nice classical music, it wasn’t anything remarkable.  “How much could they really improve a device?”, I thought before I opened this up.  This toy is cool, the sound is crisp and the lights are vivid.
