  On Day two of the conference we were treated to a tasty breakfast from Sesame Street. We also got to see clips from the upcoming 44th season. There are some many fun things happening this season including a series of parody clips featuring Cookie Monster trying to control his impulses. We also were introduced to the newest character, Armando. He shared the stage with Rosita and they sang a song and talked about writing their own story. It was a great breakfast with lots of fun information on Sesame Street’s 44th year. read more!

  Today I flew to Miami for the PBS Annual Meeting. I’m one of the PBS Kids VIPs (Very Involved Parents). As a group we promote the fantastic kids programming that is on PBS. I attended the conference last year and it was so much fun, but we were there for such a short time. This year we got to attend for three days. I couldn’t wait to see my friends again. I was also excited to learn all about the full line of programming on PBS. read more!

• Disney Princess: Story Theater App

  May 13th, 2013 by Drew in Disney, Review No Comments

  
  

  “Dad can you tell me a story?”

  Every single morning on the drive to school Eva asks me to tell a story. She love stories, she loves to read and she enjoys making up stories, after someone else has made up stories. The stories she wants usually revolve around whatever she is into that day, sometimes it is about a book we are reading or more often than not it is about characters from a TV show that we are watching.

  We received the Disney Princess: Story Theater App to try out and review. Opinions of it are 100% our own.

  I gave Eva my iPad to play with the app. Se was excited to play with this app. There are a couple of different ways to play this app. You can choose story mode which is professionally narrated in sections and then allows the user to record their own little sections of the story as well. Players can choose a princess, a place, a surprise, and a prop. As the user plays the story mode more they unlock more places for the user to have in the free play mode. read more!

• MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants Troll Mech Ambush Giveaway and Swarm’s Mech Invasion Review

  May 12th, 2013 by Drew in Contest, Review, Skylanders, Toys 4 Comments

  
  

  I’ve been reviewing a bunch of MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants sets and many of them were sent to me for review. This set however, was one that I bought myself and the other one was one that my daughter bought herself. The giveaway set, though, was provided by MEGA bloks. Opinions about all the sets are 100% our own.

  One of the cooler villains in the Skylanders series are the Troll Mechs. They are big and bad ass. They fire a ton of missiles at the Skylanders and are hard to destroy. Then, when you do destroy the Mech itself a troll jumps out and continues to attack the player. I think that MEGA Bloks has done some incredible work on this particular set because the Mech looks so perfect.
