Marvel Super Hero Mashers mash up toys fill (or create) a void in the children’s toy world. You’ve got your block type toys (LEGO or KREO) that you physically make things like ships, creatures and your action toys that come fully assembled. These mash-ups toys from Hasbro have interchangeable parts where everything but the torso can be switched out to another hero or villain.

We went to “Whales: Giants of the Deep” exhibit, because our 4-year-old son is so engaged with animals. I grew up in Atlanta, so I have childhood memories of Fernbank Museum, but experiencing it with my son gave me a whole new perspective.

Instructions Not Included is a Spanish film that was originally released under the title No se aceptan devoluciones. It’s an updated version of Kramer vs. Kramer, but played for laughs and with one of the main characters having a terminal illness. What is surprising is that, even with this plot, Instructions Not Included works out to be an entertaining, at times laugh out loud movie.

When they dropped off the 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition for me to test drive I was immediately taken back by how big and red it was. Granted the red will vary, especially if yours is a different color. The size, however, will remain the same and it’s a big full size truck. “Wow, it’s like a TARDIS”, I said to the person dropping off the truck.
We cut cable in 2012. Because of that there are dozens, if not hundreds of shows I had no idea that exist. Witness Chuck & Friends, we have the toy and it’s awesome. But wait they have a TV show too? We were sent The Adventures of Chuck & Friends: Trucks Versus Wild on DVD for a test drive and our kids loved it and I found it quite cute too.

Kids love dinosaurs. The funny thing about being a parent is that you start to love them again too. You remember how to pronounce the names, the silent “P” in Pteranodon for example and how much they really stretch the imagination. Sticks N Stones N Dinosaur Bones is a slightly historical take on the Bone Wars in the 1870’s. It’s a fact based children’s book, with just enough whimsy and tall tails to make kids dream of dinosaurs and the men who chased their bones.

My wife loves photos. Truth be told I take 99% of the photos that we have, so I like photos too. She is the more creative gift giver in the house without a doubt and calendars, cards or photo reprints are her go to gifts. Rite Aid has some groovy coupons that they asked me to share with you and offered up a canvas print and some customized photo cards for one lucky winner also.
