It’s Dr. Seuss’ 109th birthday!

dr. seuss

We celebrate by making green eggs and ham, reading our entire Dr. Seuss library, watching The Cat in the Hat, and playing some games. What about you? Did you do anything special today? This year is extra special because Maura (my Kindergartner) can now read a few Dr. Seuss books herself. Hop on Pop is [...]

Basher’s Presidents – app now available!

Basher’s Presidents mobile app is an eye-catching and fun look at our nation’s presidents beginning with our founding fathers through Obama. Since both political parties have already hit campaign fever pitches this election year, kids are keenly aware in the media and at home that there is a lot at stake in November. This makes [...]

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood: Play at home with Daniel [app review]

I should start off by saying that I have a huge bias. I love (very present tense) Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I love the sweater jackets, trademark shoe toss, the field trips (who didn’t love seeing how crayons were made?) but most of all, I love the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. That being said, I was a [...]

iG1 Good Call Bluetooth Handset & iPhone Docking Station [giveaway]

My husband got a pretty awesome gadget for Father’s Day – a Good Call iPhone handset. Available at the Good Call Store on Tuesday, June 19th, this iPhone docking station is exactly what he didn’t know he needed. Basically, any calls he gets on his iPhone will go directly to this handset. With his office [...]

Wordless Wednesday: My new iPad

Haha! Not exactly what you expected from the title of this post, eh? This is what Maura drew in my notebook, so I don’t “miss” my iPad when she’s playing with it. What cute things have your kids done for you lately?

There’s a Wocket in My Pocket [app review]

iPhone

Dr. Seuss books have always been a favorite of mine. So it amazes me that in today’s digital age Dr. Seuss continues to delight my technologically savvy young children. They enjoy the predictable and witty rhyme schemes, the silly stories, and the simple, colorful drawings just as I did. For these reasons, I was happy [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Kitty Cats

Maura is a tiny bit obsessed with watching funny cat videos on “the YouTube.” Whether they’re boxing, chasing their tails, eating with chopsticks, playing the piano, or peeing on a toilet, she’s seen them all! What I find hilarious is that she saves screen captures of some of these videos! I have to go through [...]

Freebie! PicPocket Books iPhone apps

I love free stuff. Who doesn’t, right? Every Friday I visit Moms With Apps to read their ‘App Friday’ post and see what free iPhone/iPad apps are available. Today, it’s a a selection of PicPocket Books. Surprising my kids with a new bookapp is so fun, especially when it’s something they can really relate to… [...]

Apparently it’s better upside down.

I caught Maya watching Bolt on the iPad the other day… like this: Apparently it’s “better upside down” and makes the movie “almost 3-D,” she said. I guess that’s what happens when all the blood rushes to her head! For more wonderful Wordless (or Wordful) Wednesday photos, visit: 5 Minutes for Mom ~ Latina on [...]

Classic My Living Stories [...]

Photo-editing fun

I’ve probably spent more $ in the iTunes store in the past 2 weeks than I did in the entire 2 years that I owned my iPod touch. There are just so many cool apps! I’m especially fond of photo-editing on the iPad… below are some photos and the apps that I used to modify [...]
