Back Pain And Book Writing

Ready for some stream of consciousness, free writing babble?  Good…me too… My focus was to shift, once the girls went back to school, to more book writing and exercising. The latter was an instant success.  I was immediately working out every weekday, until I pushed it a wee bit too […]

If your family is anything like mine, Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure has dominated your gaming system over the past 12 months.  Now, the magic dragon & his heroic pals will aim to take over your bookshelf.  Okay, ‘take over’ is a bit strong at this point (only 3 book titles have […]

Out With The Kids on East Passyunk Ave

I don’t think I’ve ever used the full name of this site in the title of a post in that way. In 6+ years and all the out with ’em adventures we’ve had, it never once occurred to me to work that in like I have today. Strange. Also, dumb. […]

Watch This (Back to School Edition): Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke “Animal Alphabet” Music Video

Top Kindergarten Apps For Back To School Season

Glue sticks, sharpened #2 pencils, folders, 3-ring binders, and composition books, oh my!  And a few tissues to wipe away your back to school tears. You’ve got the physical essentials, saw your kiddos off on the school bus, and stopped crying (mostly), now for some digital fun when they come […]

iPad App Review: The Smurfs Hide And Seek With Brainy

THE SMURFS HIDE AND SEEK WITH BRAINY by Cooper McHatton Playing The Smurfs: Hide and Seek with Brainy is a lot like working in a hidden object book. For an app in 2012, there’s a surprising lack of special animations (or any visual effects at all for that matter) here.  […]
