Latest & Greatest :: Disney’s New Storybook App Frozen
We had one of those nights last night. You know where your child is up in the middle of the night and can’t seem to get settled. Needless to say we didn’t get much sleep, so we are planning a relaxing day after school and headed to see the new Disney movie Frozen. I can’t wait as I have heard from several of my mom friends that this is a really great movie and that they even cried at the end! So we are super excited about reviewing the new Frozen app created by Disney. The first page opens up and we see the two main characters, Princess Anna and her older sister…

Tech :: Safety with Style!
Recently, I was looking for some clever stocking stuffers for some family members and friends. What I ran across gave me pause. It was innovative and I read about it and looked at it (online) and after looking at all their products I decided to contact this company.

Skylanders SWAP Force Game – A Review
My brother and I use to spend hours playing on the Atari console and play PONG. Do you remember how that was the hottest game around in the early 80’s? We would spend the whole afternoon playing this simple game but had a blast. Especially when the game would go on for a bit and the pong would go faster and faster until it went so fast you couldn’t keep up your match. That is when it got really exciting! In case you don’t remember what PONG looked like – here is what the screen looked like (primitive isn’t it?). It was a hit with the kids and actually quite fun! …

Inspirational Mom :: Holly Hamann of Tap Influence
About four months ago I came across a video where Holly Hamann and Rustin Banks were talking about how important it is to tap your influence in the marketplace. As I am fairly new to the whole mommy blogging sphere, I have been attempting to learn as much as I can so that I can provide quality content for our wonderful dandelion moms while working with companies I feel our audience would like to learn more about. Rustin and Holly were pretty dynamic on the video and since then I have been an active follower of the Tap Influence network. In fact, Forbes Magazine recently named Rustin as a…
