...The View From Here
My kids always get to have all the fun in our house. They have tons of games, toys, and each other to play with all day long. And I will admit that I feel left out on occasion. I love to play board and card games, but lets face it — while Candyland is awesome, there are only so many times in one week I can play that game! I need something that challenges my mind a little bit, but {Read More}
My kids love to play games. V has been an avid board gamer for the past 2 years, and E is finally old enough that he can join in the fun! But finding a game that both kids want to play can be a bit of a challenge. V doesn’t want to play anything she deems a “baby game” and E can’t play most of the games that she likes — he just isn’t big enough to really get how {Read More}

As a busy mom of two, I am always looking for things that can save time, entertain my kids and help keep me organized and on task. My iPhone does that plus more. I would be hard pressed to make it through the day without it. Why, you may ask? Mainly because it is {Read More}
V and I really love to play games. I always get very excited to introduce her to the games of my childhood, and it is so much fun for both of us to sit and play them together. Hasbro has recently launched travel versions of some of their most popular games – perfect for Fun on the Run! We had the chance to try out the POP-O-MATIC Trouble Fun on the Run Game – and it was so much fun! {Read More}
Shara Lawrence-Weiss, the fabulous lady behind Mommy Perks, has written a fantastic post that combines honoring Memorial Day with teaching your child memory skills, new vocabulary words, and providing spelling practice! I greatly enjoy reading Shara’s creative, sometimes out of the box, way of thinking and approach to parenting, and I have found many new projects to do with my kids, as well as new ways to approach both tricky and everyday situations that all parents face. In addition to {Read More}
I love my iPhone. I think that I would be totally lost without. The organization, the games, the ease of use… oh yea, and that it is the perfect-always-with-me-item to entertain my kids when we have a long time to wait (traffic jam, restaurant, doctors office). One of our newest iPhone apps is GoGo Mongo! and it is tons of fun! GoGo Mongo! features a really cute little imaginary monster (or at least that is how I would classify him) {Read More}
V and I love to play games. Many nights, she asks for a special game before bed. I am always looking for games that challenge her, but that she can still enjoy playing. Our new favorite game is the Discovery Garden Game from I Can Do That! Games. We LOVE it! About the Discover Garden Game (as quoted from the website): Welcome to a whimsical garden of fun and adventure. Flip over a card to reveal what colorful bug, lost {Read More}
I have never been very good at Scrabble … truth be told, I am a terrible speller. But my moms loves all the Scrabble games, and I can remember playing them with her when I was younger. Scrabble Flash is a new and exciting take on the traditional game – and can be played alone or with other players. When the Scrabble Flash game arrived last week, I was a little intimidated to play against anyone else (bad speller, remember??) {Read More}
I love games – card games, board games, word games, number games, guessing games – you name it, I wanna play it. Jay, not so much. He is not really the “game” type of guy. He would rather talk. That is fine by me! Anyone who knows me knows that I could talk for hours! So imagine my delight when I found a game that requires a lot of talking! Woo-Hoo! Goodnight Sweetheart Couple’s Edition is more than just game {Read More}
