Bitdefender Security Software Offers Peace of Mind
Image courtesy of Flickr Today’s post is brought to you by Bitdefender When I think about all the private information we save on our computers such as bank accounts, investment information, and not to mention keeping our kids safe from online predators, I am glad there are companies like BitDefender who provide software that helps keep all this information secure. Just the other day my daughter was mentioning that she has “chatted” online with a 13 year old boy who plays one of the games she likes. As I was sitting there listening to her the hairs on the back of my neck started to rise up. Turns out she…

The Kratt Brothers Teach Kids About Wildlife in a New Special
There are so many great programs on television that help parents supplement their children’s education. One of my favorite programs is the Wild Kratt’s. These brothers, Chris and Martin, have brought the fun into wildlife. Since watching Zoboomafoo with my then 3 year old, our family have been big fans of these two. As a kid, I use to love watching the nature programs and learn about the world around us. My daughter shares this same love of nature and we enjoy watching Wild Kratt’s together quite often. This coming Monday the Kratt brothers, Martin and Chris will be educating kids about the differences between a crocodile and an alligator. I…

Inspiration Found at Disney On The Road

After attending the Disney Social Media Moms event back in April I truly appreciated (even more) what an amazing visionary Walt Disney really was and love that he never gave up on his dream of creating the Happiest Place On Earth! Which I can honestly say is one of my favorite places to go with the family. I love to see my daughter’s face light up while on the roller coasters or when she runs into a Disney character at the park. Plus, there is something about eating popcorn while walking…

Camp Snoopy Celebrates 30th Anniversary at Knott’s Berry Farm
Last week I was invited to attend the reopening of the famed Calico Mine Co. ride and 30th Celebration of Camp Snoopy at Knott’s Berry Farm. I grew up with Knott’s Berry Farm and loved (and still do) the jelly’s (they have come out with a new jam and funnel cakes they sell at the park. As part of the celebration of 30 years of Camp Snoopy, Knott’s revitalized the five-acre nature wonderland. We visited Camp Snoopy during their Halloween Haunt celebrations and really had a great time – this Haunt is geared towards younger children. The revisions include new all-encompassing trail-like stamped concrete, use of natural wood throughout,…

Nintendo 3DS Companion “Chat-Pak” Helps You Stay Connected
‘In barely more than a generation, video games transformed from a diversion for the few into a mass medium, helping people live, learn, work, and of course, play. ~ The Entertainment Software Association It’s been a few years now that game sales ($24 billion) have outpaced movie box office sales (just $10 billion per year), but now games are a serious competitor to the entire TV/film industry with game play now eating into even mainstays like television viewing. I know my daughter prefers to play games or watch her favorite shows on our tablets. It is interesting how technology has changed the way children watch TV programming…

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.

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…
