Heather and I had an epiphany about kids music recently. We really don’t like it very much. There are a few songs I like, but most of the music we have for the kids we tolerate, but don’t enjoy. The litmus test is when one of these songs starts playing while your ipod is shuffling [...]

I found this great Lego time line on Digg a few weeks ago. Some of our Legos date back to the 60′s, like the wheels on this flying car Ethan built.

Just wanted to share that Tipnut linked to us again today, this time for my Peanut Butter Chocolate Playdough post. We get quite a bit of traffic from John’s posts that they have used so we really like their site! Thanks Tipnut.

I heard about a great free kids program on Jumping Monkeys a few weeks ago called Alphababy.  This is a Mac only program so when we got our new computer I was excited to get a chance to try it out.  Alphababy is very simple concept.   When you run it the screen turns white and [...]

Now that all my files are on our iMac I’m trying to figure out how to everything. OS 10 is still foreign to me, but fortunately Google is there to help me. Here’s a simple tip I found: Sending pictures to Ceiva from iPhoto is incredibly easy. Simply login in to your Ceiva account and [...]

After a year of soul searching, researching, and drooling I have finally made the switch and used our tax rebate to purchase an iMac. This move is still a little shocking to me because a year ago I was waiting for Vista to be released so I could buy a new PC. When I started [...]

I’m trying to find some blogs that I’ll really enjoy visiting that are similar and its harder than I thought [...]

I found a good article that has an updated countdown of how many episodes are remaining for network shows. Here’s where our favorite shows stand (new episodes in parentheses): Back To You (2) Chuck (1) – Hiatus until after New Year Eureka (0) – Summer schedule threatened Lost (8) Monk (full second half of season) [...]

Storynory started reading one chapter of Alice in Wonderland each month last year and just recently decided to give the book its own podcast feed.  We signed up and downloaded all the chapters.  If you have any holiday traveling planned this season, I highly recommend subscribing to both the Alice and regular Storynory feeds.  Ethan [...]

Ethan and Ben love listening to Storynory, but we’re caught up with the latest episodes (I’m downloading the archives).  I went in search of another kids podcast for them to listen to and found Crazy Dave’s Kid Show.  This is a radio call in show for kids.  The boys really like it, I like it, [...]
