Swim Through The Air With The Greatest of Ease
If you haven't seen videos of the "Air Swimmers" on YouTube (or the video viewing location of your choice), please do so. I'll do my best to try to explain, but sometimes a picture (or video) really is worth a thousand words...
"Air Swimmers" are essentially remote controlled large...
The Fat Just Walks Away...
A 2008 episode of Doctor Who ("Partners in Crime") contained an interesting concept. There was a "diet pill" that actually worked -- without fail the people taking the pill lost a kilo (that's 2.2 pounds) each and every day. What these dieters didn't realize was that the pill was...
All 11 Doctors in One Set!
Doctor Who was one of my favorite shows as a child, and now that I'm an adult with children of my own I've really enjoyed watching the updated version of the show with them. Seeing it anew through their eyes has been a lot of fun (as well as a great bonding experience).
We've been...
Doctor Who Complete Fourth Series (or Complete 30th Season...)
Doctor Who was a show that I adored as a child, but when it came back to television in 2005 I never expected that I would end up liking it even more as an adult! The updated version of the show is wonderful viewing for the entire family, with an excellent mix of comedy, action, and drama, as well...
Very Cute, But Sadly It Has Some Flaws...
When son #3 came along, we already had a house full of toys and baby gear left over from sons #1 and #2, so we told everyone that we had plenty of baby stuff and really didn't need more. My parents took it upon themselves to comb the toy store shelves in search of a unique toy for our littlest tot...
It's Bigger On the Inside...
I've been a fan of Doctor Who since I was a little kid in the late 70's/early 80's, but as a Doctor Who fan in America there were no cool toys I could purchase to play with back then. Now I'm an adult and the show is back and better than ever, so to relive my childhood I felt the need to shell out...
Transforming Tool Truck is Terriffic for my Tinkering Toddler
My 3 year old is quite the little tinkerer, always taking things apart to see how they go together. Although my son isn't a big fan of the Handy Manny television show, he repeatedly asked for the Handy Manny 2-in-1 Transforming Tool Truck for Christmas, and we could certainly see why it...
Fob Watch - Time Lord not included
One of the high points of Doctor Who's Third season was a two part episode based on Paul Cornell's book, "Human Nature". A wonderful episode in many ways, it contained two "props" that have become highly sought after by Doctor Who fans. One is the gorgeously hand written & illustrated "Journal of...
Doctor Who Clockwork Man - The Most Beautiful Monster Yet
The revived British cult hit show Doctor Who has provided a wealth of new monsters to scare a new generation of fans, and with vastly improved special effects these new monsters are more strikingly rendered and realized than ever before. Easily the most "beautiful" of these new monsters...
I've Always Wanted My Own TARDIS!
I've been an American Doctor Who fan since I was a small child, but unfortunately the toys weren't readily available in America so, needless to say, I never had any. Now I'm an adult and the show is back and more popular than ever, and now I can live vicariously through my children (and add to my...
Doctor Who - The Complete Third Series (or Complete 29th Season...)
Doctor Who was a show that I adored as a child, but when it came back to television in 2005 I never expected that I would end up liking it even more as an adult! The updated version of the show is wonderful viewing for the entire family, with an excellent mix of comedy, action, and drama, as well...
Both Better and Worse than Fisher Price's Former Cradle Swings
When my second child was born a friend gave us their Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing because we were dying to try out the whole "cradle swing" thing (they hadn't...
Nope, it's not broken... It's supposed to work that way...
Bakugan Balls were all the rage at my almost 7-year old's summer camp this year, so even though he rarely ever sees the cartoon that the toy is based upon, Bakugan Balls were the #1 item on my son's "7th Birthday Wish List". We had to scour the stores to find them (what with them being so popular...
Good Choice if Your Child is "Scared" of Real Toilets
At around 2½ years of age my little guy started telling us before he needed to go, but was afraid of our big (normal sized) toilets. I think he was accustomed to the little potties at day care, which are more kid-sized. He was even interested in watching big brother use the regular toilet, but...
Tipping and Tooting With Disney!
My 2½ year old, who loves all vehicles, simply adores the Pixar movie Cars. One part of the movie that causes every boy I know to laugh out loud is the scene where Mater the tow-truck takes Lightening McQueen "tractor tipping". When my son received the small, die-cast version of the Cars...
This Seat has Boosted My Opinion of Boosters!
My 6 year old has reached an age where he has friends in the neighborhood who come to visit (and he goes to visit them). There have been a few times where I've wanted to run out to a restaurant or over to the ice cream parlor with my kids plus one friend in tow -- but we couldn't because we didn't...
...Because Every Boy Needs a Dollhouse!
When my older son was a toddler he LOVED playing with play houses, as did most of his little male friends, so I never understood why toy manufacturers seem to insist on putting pink all over the doll houses that were available back then! The Fisher Price house I grew up with was a nice,...
Arrrgghh! A Pirate Ship for Toddlers!
My two year old is quite the little vehicle aficionado. He's nuts for anything that moves -- planes, trains, automobiles, and boats. We've got an over-abundance of cars and trains around our house, so when I was presented with the opportunity to try out a new pirate ship toy (with wheels) I knew it...
Pixar Cars Spiral Speedway - Simple But Fun
My youngest son is a real fanatic when it comes to Pixar's Cars movie. I had taken my sons to Toys 'R Us so each of them could pick out one toy as a treat for good behavior. My eldest is entering quite a picky stage, so we must have walked over the entire store two or three times looking for "the...
My Son and his Big Blaster!
I must admit that I'm not a big fan of "gun toys", and while we don't have an outright ban on them I do try to limit the number of toy guns that end up in my boys' toy collection. When my Transformers-loving eldest began his begging and pleading campaign for the Transformers Optimus Prime Battle...
