Create 2 Destroy: vote, build, have fun, vote and win

So recently we participated in a campaign with Crayola and Create 2 Destroy. They provided us with a Create 2 Destroy set and asked us to let a rampaging 4 year old (and me!) create things and destroy them with a dinosaur and rock throwing volcano. Yes, it’s a voting then-but the punch line is, if our video has the most mojo then we’ll give away 10 Create 2 Destroy sets.

Here’s our video. If you think it rocks then you can follow the link and vote, remember it’s a vote for us and for you (we say in our best cheesy politician voice).

Lloyd and the Bear #2 continues the greatness from its first issue

A couple of weeks ago I discovered one of the most promising all ages comics that I’ve seen in a while. Lloyd and the Bear is like Calvin & Hobbes in space. Despite my clunky analogy, it’s original, in brilliant full color, appropriate for all ages and enjoyable for adults.

At a LeapFrog LeapReader parent party all the kids win #Ad

I was given the chance to host a LeapFrog LeapReader, “Ready, Set, Read & Write Party. As the host of the party I was provided with some product and the responsibility of being the ringleader for a group of 4 year olds. That job was made much easier because the LeapReader is very intuitive for children ages 4 and up to use almost immediately.

Joovy Bicycoo Balance Bike review: Stylish, helpful and kids love it

What kind of freak would steal pedals to a children’s bike, I thought to myself when I first saw the Joovy Bicycoo Balance Bike. It was then explained to me that the pedals were never there and that a balance bike helps young children learn and practice their balance. Why can’t children just learn by falling off their bike the way that I did, my old school self said in my inner monologue. Enter the Joovy Bicycoo Balance Bike, a product you may not think that your toddler needs, but they do. Continue reading Joovy Bicycoo Balance Bike review: Stylish, helpful and kids love it

The Pocket Hose review: cheap design and easily broken

I have an unwritten rule: Never, ever buy anything that I see “As Seen on TV”. If that product makes it to the store, then I might give it a shot. Enter the Pocket Hose, it seems logical that it should work, my traditional hose is heavy and this is only $20, so I’ll give it a shot. Alas, this pocket hose review does not have a happy ending as two of them broke within one week of use. Continue reading The Pocket Hose review: cheap design and easily broken

Win an autographed copy of Standing Up by Director D.J. Caruso

Standing Up is the film adaptation of The Goats, a popular young adult book that was written in 1990. It’s an anti-bullying film that follows the adventures of two tweens who marooned on an island by a group of bullies. The two kids are embarrassed and instead of going back to camp, go on a 3 day adventure.

While the story may sound rote for us adults, let’s remember that this is meant to be a film that’s enjoyable for kids under 16. However, watching the trailer for Standing Up my wife got a bit teary eyed, then encouraged at the happy parts and at the end commanded me to get this movie.
