PS Vita

February 24, 2012

This past Wednesday was the official release day of the newest hand held video gaming system.  But when I got a chance to preview it over the weekend, it seemed like much more than a gaming system. It has not only a touch screen, but a touch pad on the back of it as well.  [...]

The Lady is a Tramp

February 18, 2012

Actually she isn’t, she is refined and adorable and…….a dog. The Lady and the Tramp is a Disney Classic.  I remember watching it when I was a kid and I remember watching it with my children.  Now I am watching ti with the grand children.  Movies like this just don’t go “out of style”. A [...]

My grand kids sure do! They watched the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: I Heart Minnie with Aunt Kathy this past weekend and as usual they were thrilled with what they saw.   Now that I finally bought ink for my printer I can upload all the fun activity sheets for them from the button below [...]

Tudor vs Tutor

February 7, 2012

Marisa was always a good student.  She never had to work hard at it (at least not that I noticed) and she never complained about her classes.  Adam had a harder time of it and at one point I contemplated getting him a tutor.  When he flat out refused the help, I didn’t bother following [...]

The Muppets!

November 23, 2011

I remember the Muppets from when I was a kid.  My cousin would do a great impression of a Muppet laugh, just that simple open mouth head bobbing no actual sound coming out laugh. The Muppet show ran through my teenage years and was akin to the Smurfs in their cult following.  But for years [...]

Dinosaur Train Costumes

October 19, 2011

The wonderful people at Dinosaur Train asked me if I wanted to review a Halloween costume of a character from their show.  I meekly asked if I could have two (one for each twin) and was elated that they said yes. Aren’t they adorable?! The kids all love Dinosaur Train, but were a little leery [...]

Real Steel

October 1, 2011

Tell me I am going to see a movie about robot boxing and I will tell you “No, I’m not”. Tell me I am going to look at Hugh Jackman for two hours and incidentally there will be robots boxing, and I will reply “oh, okay, let’s go.” That was the attitude my friend Sylvia [...]
