Happy New Year!
Published on Sunday, January 1, 2012 by caryn On the east coast, the ball drops on New Year's Eve. On the west coast, locals and tourists camp out in Pasadena for the Rose Parade. Since New Year's Day falls on a Sunday this year, the iconic parade will take place on Monday! Much like in previous years, my sweet little family will snuggle on the couch to watch the parade from the comfort of home. If you're ... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 by caryn When my husband and I decided to get the Wii, we envisioned it being years before our children would be able to enjoy it. A majority of the games we own are for us...to keep our minds and our bodies active. But as I'm learning, there is no shortage of games targeted towards preschoolers just like my son.

My son hasn't been exposed to much in the way of gaming. The games he has played were designed to be educational. Last week, Disney Interactive Studios, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment,...

The Interactive World of Disney
Published on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 by caryn My son is barely three and hasn't had much exposure to the world of video games. Being that I grew up with video games and still utilize a gaming system for the occasional workout, I'm not opposed to allowing my children limited, supervised gaming time. About a week ago, we were invited to preview several new games put out by Disney Interative Studios. My son ... Read More » -

Lovely Lisa & Friends on DS/DSi
Published on Friday, March 19, 2010 by caryn When I was a little girl, my parents bought me the very first Nintendo Entertainment System. The only games I remember playing were Zelda and all of the Super Mario Brothers titles. Gaming is quite a different experience today. Video games do more than entertain. They educate, role model, and encourage children to be creative. Many of the games available today... Read More » -

EA Games For the Holidays!
Published on Sunday, November 8, 2009 by caryn I remember when my parents bought me my first video game system. It was by a little company called Nintendo (hehe). I was to get four teeth pulled out and there was no way I was going to do that without some sort of incentive. If you can believe it, I still have that system (it's just up in storage). These days you'll find a newer version (the Wii and DSi) in ou... Read More » -

Family Game Night
Published on Wednesday, August 5, 2009 by caryn I hope you're having a FAB summer!

I've primarily used it with the Wii Fit to lose weight up until I got pregnant with our second baby. However, there are soooo man... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 by caryn *Update* This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Elizabeth M. Video games are all the rage with children and with Nintendo's dual-screen handheld game console, DS, toting them has never been more convenient. Some may argue that video games may not be as beneficial for development as other types of play. I beg to differ. I think v... Read More »
