National Geographic Kids Cook Book review

We received a copy of the book for review purposes and are a National Geographic Kids Insider for 2014. All thoughts are our own. No stunt cooking was involved in the post. I cook most of the food for the family, but I’m not really a cook. I’m good at experimenting in the kitchen at things with things that, most of the time tastes great. I sometimes don’t follow the recipes….so when things fall flat it’s usually my fault. However, since our sons see me cooking I know that I should be using recipes, at least until they’re old enough to experiment on their own. Our oldest has latched onto what he calls ‘my cook book’, which in reality is the National Geographic Kids Cook Book.

It started out with Refe & Susan Tuma placing out their child’s plastic dinosaurs around the house doing various playful or mischievous things.

The maze of figuring out what stroller to purchase can be really confusing. The jogging strollers look the coolest to some, but may not be able to accommodate the baby carrier. A combination stroller of sort is the Chicco ACTIV3 Stroller; it works with children 6 months old to 50 pounds and is good for everyday use, as well as more active occasions.

Children’s birthday party etiquette, presents and more

We just finished going through 4 children’s birthday parties over the past month. They were for kids 3-10 years old and each one had a different theme. In one facet or another they were all great, but we learned lots about how much to spend on presents, where to have the party, what to do at the party and how to RSVP that might save you some headaches.

Adventure Time #32 is (almost) all age comic weirdness

Kaboom Studios makes some of the best all age comic books on the market. From Garfield, Herobear, Peanuts to Regular Show and others they put out a great variety of books. Adventure Time is as inventive, creative, weird and wonderful as the television show. There is nothing objectionable to young readers and the sole reason for putting (almost) in the title is that younger readers won’t be able to follow the plot.

Adventure Time: Season 4 on Blu-ray, magical, wonderful weirdness

Adventure Time: The Complete Fourth Season comes out on Blu-ray and DVD on October 7. We don’t have cable so I had never seen it prior to receiving the DVD. I was familiar with the name due to comic books, but was unfamiliar as to how large of a presence they have. However, just a look at the show makes me realize that this is something that I should like. I asked the neighborhood boys who are 7 and 10, if they liked Adventure Time. I was met with a resounding YES and they are not alone after watching it.
