Roam and Wander: Toys for Little Readers
Today’s post is brought to you by Roam and Wander. DiDi: iPad Powered Teddy Bear for Little Readers: I recently received the DiDi Teddy Bear (soft and plush it sits up with no problem plus has a teddy bear face without the iPad inserted ~ and my daughter loves “him” just as much without the iPad which is great) from Roam and Wander. DiDi utilizes your iPad (iOS 6 or higher) with an app created just for this cute teddy bear. Insert your iPad and turn on the app and it split screens (with the top looking just like DiDi) and the bottom being DiDi’s interactive tummy where you will choose…

I recently had the opportunity to try out a pair of CordCruncher Earbud Headphones (the moniker being they “do not TANGLE”)! I have never been so excited in my life about ear bud headphones. I am the world’s worst and I strongly animate the word WORST when it comes to getting cords for my headphones into a tangled mess – a hot tangled mess I should add.

Personal security. Safety. As…

Some super cool gadgets for the men in our lives who have everything this Father’s Day (and beyond). That’s right mama’s, move over and get ready to let Dad/Brother/Father/Uncle [et al] become “King for the Day” where they can relax and have you wait on them hand and foot and even fan them while eating grapes (I jest; however, that sounds like a LOT of their days *lol*)! Seriously though, here’s some little sumtin’s that may be nifty enough to give the man/men in your life who say they have everything they need (or seriously DO have everything) that you wouldn’t find at your local square box store. …
