Test driving the new BMW Maclaren Buggy

An umbrella stroller is so called that because it can fold up neatly and be put away in your car without much fuss.   Perhaps yours is difficult to fold, frustrating to push or seemingly has a mind on its own with a desire to pinch your fingers.  With that as my baseline experience with those types of strollers I am reviewing the new BMW Maclaren Buggy.

I shop at a place that sells tools to socks, #MoreAtSears #Ad

I’m the stay at home parent in our family.  Sometimes during the week a nice leisurely errand is welcome.  Those days are a blessing because more often than not I have to get what’s needed and move on before someone needs to nap, poop or get home before Curious George comes on.  Factor in that the internet can help shoppers and #MoreAtSears can make things jump like a rabbit.

This week is a busy one.  In addition to the work that must be done, I’ve got a couple of meetings and movies that I’m going to.  The movie that I’m most jazzed about seeing is definitely G.I.

We decided to wait until we knew what 3YO Mojo liked and in his case it was all about animals. Continue reading Sunny Decals review: simple & versatile to decorate children’s walls

Little Pim review: an entertaining way to teach language

I speak enough of a couple languages to be a good tourist.  None of them are fluent, but I could order food, understand the numbers and get basic directions.  That leaves me with the question of how do you teach your child another language when you, yourself can barely speak a second one?    Little Pim has a series of DVDs, audio CDs, books and apps that make things learning another language possible for children.

What to expect from your 18 month old toddler

Babies start to become fun when they turn 5 months.  Granted they are always fun, but sometimes the work to fun ratio is weighted heavily (exclusively) in work.  By now your little toddler is probably walking to some extent.  What else can you expect from your 18 month old toddler?
