Care Bears Love to Learn – App Review

Posted on July 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Books | Tags: Care Bears Love to Learn, educational app, iPad, tech game | 4 Comments

My daughter loves playing with her dad's iPad. I try to make sure she balances electronic entertainment with reading (an actual book, not on a tablet), playing with her toys & going on play dates with friends. Believe it or not, she's been on an actual play date (both at our home & at her friend's house), where she's asked "Can we play with the iPad?" Sigh... Enter the new Care Bears Love to Learn app which is the first early learning … [Read more...]

I love listening to music in the car (especially when I am stuck in LA traffic), while I am working out & at home when I am cleaning, answering emails or trying to write out my latest blog post. :) David Gray is an artist from the UK who came on the scene in the late 90's with his big hit … [Read more...]

Getting Back to Basics with “Retro Baby”

Posted on October 16, 2013 | Filed Under: Books, Mommy Stuff | Tags: baby activities, developmental stage, Dr. Anne Zachry, games for infants, pediatric occupational therapist, Retro Baby, tummy time | 2 Comments

When my daughter was born (back in 2006), I tried to glean as much information possible from various baby websites to educate myself on all things related to the baby. I also read some of the books in the "What to Expect…" series but I ended up feeling overwhelmed with so much information.

This past weekend, Elisabeth Wolf held a book reading & signing for her book Lulu in La La Land. I had heard about the book & thought it would be a perfect activity for me & my daughter to attend. On a warm afternoon, we headed out to the Barnes & Noble book store at the Americana in Glendale. Lulu in La La Land is an adorable story about a young girl who lives in Bel Air & doesn't feel like she fits in. The book is set-up … [Read more...]
