Toydozer cleans up small toys like it is child’s play-Giveaway!

Small toys can be the bane of any parent.  Even though our children are 7 months and 2.8 years old they can create quite the spread out mess of toys.  It’s carnage on a small scale with toy cars, animals, crayons and little trains spread out around the play table.  With any luck these toys are in the same room, more often than not they’re like a trail leading to where the toddler was before bedtime.  Continue reading Toydozer cleans up small toys like it is child’s play-Giveaway!

Ridley Pearson visits Little Shop of Stories, May 3, 7PM

My family and I just returned from Disney Social Media Moms at Walt Disney World.  While I was there I had the opportunity to meet Ridley Pearson and hear him speak about getting kids motivated about reading.  Ridley was a very engaging speaker who effortlessly weaved tales about Dave Barry, 10 foot Pythons and the creative process of writing a book into an entertaining, linear story.  Continue reading Ridley Pearson visits Little Shop of Stories, May 3, 7PM

LeapFrog’s My Own Leaptop is the iPad killer….for toddlers

Toddler Mojo loves the iPad.  When he was younger, i.e., more controllable, he’d sit in my lap and go through some of the learning apps for children.  Now that he’s 27 month old, he’s well into being a toddler and wants to control anything and everything.  With the iPad, that doesn’t work out so well; it’s expensive and it might frustrate the toddler mind which would then cause Hulk like rage and the throwing of expensive electronics.
