King Julien Hosts Dance Party & New Year’s Eve Countdown On Netflix
New Year’s Eve is just around the corner! And many of us will change the clocks, blow the noisemakers at 8 p.m., and search for that New Year’s Eve countdown on the other side of the world just so we can celebrate it with our little ones at a decent hour.

Nintendo Releases New Games Geared Towards Girls!
This holiday season Nintendo has come out with two new games compatible on the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, or Nintendo 2DS that are geared towards girls. In 2013, Nintendo claimed that 50% of its users were female so I am happy to see they are making games with them in mind! My daughter announced to her first grade class last year during Show-n-Tell that she wanted to be a gamer when she grows up. When the teacher asked her what types of games, she responded very seriously, “you know, games that allow them to be creative with their mind.” That’s my girl! That very much could happen since she absolutely…
