One of my toddler’s favorite apps on my iPod touch is Wheels on the Bus, which I reviewed earlier this year. It engages her for a considerable amount of time and though she knows what it’s all about, she still giggles with delight every step of the way! I’m happy to say that the designers [...]
iPod art

Every time I plug my iPod touch into my computer, iPhoto pops up, giving me the option to transfer the hundreds of illustrations that my 4-year old creates. Here are a few… Free-hand sketching. Coloring book. Abstract art. Just plain cute! For more Wordless Wednesday, visit: 5 Minutes for Mom ~ Go Graham Go! ~ [...]

Remember the Casio watch I reviewed a while back? That was just one of two fantastic Casio products I was toting around Chicago earlier this summer. The other was this lovely Casio digital camera, the Exilim EX_Z150. I fell in love with this camera at first sight. I have a dSLR which – don’t get [...]

When we travel, I like to be prepared – I load up my iPod touch with lots of new apps for my girls to play with in the car or on the plane. Sure, I could sit them in front of a DVD player, but that just doesn’t offer them as much interaction and learning [...]

The day the music died…

Last Saturday, Independence Day, something I was very dependent on was abruptly taken away from me. My iPod touch. Sometime that afternoon, while waiting for the daytime fireworks to start at Mount Vernon, one of my girls threw an open bottle of water in my bag. Upside down. One of those mini 12-oz bottles with [...]
A review of the Oreck Halo
July 2, 2009 · by ·
My babies aren’t babies anymore, but they still love to crawl around and play on the floor, so I try to vacuum, sweep, and/or mop often to keep it as clean as possible. It’s hard to tell if it’s really clean, though. There can be more germs on household floor surfaces than on toilet seats, [...]
Our new toy

What I earn here and there from blogging finally managed to allow us the opportunity to get a Wii… and a Wii Fit! It’s the only way I could justify such a splurge. We’ve had it for about a week now, and LOVE it. It’s been a blessing during these rainy days we’ve had all [...]

I’m a little obsessed with downloading new applications to my iPod touch. I check the App Store every night in bed to see if there’s anything new and interesting. I especially love finding fun apps that entertain my 4-year old. There’s no easier thing than whipping out my iPod at the grocery store, in the [...]

Sure, I love my kids, but one of my other most prized possessions is my iPod touch. It’s practically attached to me at the hip! Aside from its most obvious use as a music player, I also utilize it to check email, listen to the radio, watch videos, keep an eye on the weather, play [...]

This winter has been especially tough for us cold-wise. And no, I don’t mean temperature. It’s no secret that colds and flu are becoming more and more common and harder to ward off! That’s why it’s so important to take extra measures to prevent sickness and exposure to harmful viruses by sanitizing our environment as [...]
