When you have more than one small child who needs a stroller it gets complicated. When your youngest child is old enough to not be in a car seat while in the stroller your options open up dramatically. Do you get a jogger stroller, regular stroller or a bike trailer that you can put your little people into? The Joovy CocoonX2 Double Stroller is all of those types of strollers in one-and it does them all very well. Continue reading The Joovy CocoonX2 Double Stroller is the only one you need with two kids

Backyard Safari review and giveaway-kids love it
Our oldest son is about to turn 4 and loves exploring. He’s curious about the bugs, crawling things and flying winged insects that he sees in the garden. He calls all of them bees, except for the butterflies and follows them as if he’s Marlin Perkins tracking something in the African savannah. We thought that he would like his gear from Backyard Safari and proved wrong. He went mental, absolutely loved all of the accessories, took them to bed with him, woke up the next morning and started asking when he could go outside.

Pacific Rim: quality film plus an old soul with monsters & robots
Pacific Rim is a movie that I didn’t want to like. “Hurry up and make HellBoy 3 Gulliermo Del Toro, why are you messing around with Pacific Rim?”, my inner fanboy said a couple years ago. Now that I’ve seen Pacific Rim I’m eating my words to an extent because it is great fun, still has aspects of what makes all of Del Toro’s movies great, except with a much bigger budget.

A toilet that uses less water: the Delta Corrente Toilet review
At my first house I put a sealed jar of water in the toilet basin in an effort to save money. Archimedes would’ve been proud of me, but even after doing that, the toilet still used over 2.5 gallons of water each time it flushed. Our new house has better toilets that use less water, but they have just been lapped by the Delta Corrente Toilet. Continue reading A toilet that uses less water: the Delta Corrente Toilet review
Cap That can do prints on any surface from anywhere, even video
We love photos in our house. Before having children we had photos of pets and travels on the walls. With children come lots of photos and the myriad of ways to put their pictures up on the walls. We were presented a review opportunity with Cap That, that we hadn’t seen before-putting photos on bamboo picture frames. To make things even cooler they can be traditional photos or be pulled from video clips. Continue reading Cap That can do prints on any surface from anywhere, even video
The BMW Maclaren Buggy review
So a couple of months ago I was sent the BMW Maclaren Buggy to review. We have two children, one 20 month old and one 3.75 YO. One of them can’t walk too long without bumping into something and the other one sometimes just likes to be pushed around like Ben-Hur. The BMW Maclaren Buggy is perfect for both of them and for the parent who happens to be pushing them, let’s take a look. Continue reading The BMW Maclaren Buggy review
The Big Bad Wolf Goes on Vacation is droll, imaginative fun for kids
Droll is such an odd word to use in review. Droll means funny, just in an odd or unusual way and that’s very appropriate for The Big Bad Wolf Goes on Vacation. This is not a laugh out loud funny book, but it brings a smile to your face when you think about the concept, doesn’t it? Continue reading The Big Bad Wolf Goes on Vacation is droll, imaginative fun for kids
Fraggle Rock celebrates 30 years of rocking the felt cloth on DVD
Everyone in this house is a huge Jim Henson fan. I say Jim Henson fan instead of Muppet fan because his fingerprints are on all of his creations. You can tell it in Sesame Street, The Muppets, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. It’s Jim Henson’s creativity that is geared to certain audiences.
