This past week we were invited to attend the magical Disney Animation Studios for the release of “Wreck-it Ralph” on 4-disc Blu-ray combo pack. “Wreck-it Ralph” tells the story of Ralph, a muscular, video game “bad guy” who stars in a video game of the same name. His sole purpose is to use his humongous hands to destroy buildings while other members of the game try to stop him from doing it.  After 30 years of playing a bad guy,Read More ...

If you have been enjoying the Gombby’s Green Island Channel I previously reviewed, you and your family will have fun with the latest app from Magnistage, Gombby Stickers.

In six languages and three levels, your kids can learn themed vocabulary, including First Words and Fruits & Vegetables.

  Some days I wished my daughter could just wear a uniform to school like I did. Sure, it limits her style and her self-expression through fashion, but it’s such a relief for parents to have one less thing to think about and to spend money on. I must admit, though, and contradict myself a bit, that I love spending money on my daughter’s clothes. I love the crazy fashions for girls that are so colorful , so daring andRead More ...

  We were invited by 20th Century Fox and Dreamworks Animation to a very special screening and behind-the-scenes look of the 3D animated family flick, The Croods. We were so thrilled that this film has a character that can appeal to everyone in the family, as well as a very rich and relatable story. The Croods is not just a series of funny moments for our kids and us, it’s not just about an anxious teenager, and it’s not just about theRead More ...
