Play Osmo: the coolest new interactive iPad game

I’ll admit that both of my kids are iPad obsessed. One of Ryan’s favorite things to do is search the app store for awesome new games to play. He’s almost 5 and we do money counting games, math, sight words, puzzles, and some critical thinking games that are even hard for me. Yes, we play some Angry Birds, too 😉 Rebecca is almost 3 and likes anything Disney or watching Daniel Tiger, meow meow. While I do feel they’re learning on these games, sometimes I’d like to get them off the iPad and back

Super Duper apps for kids (giveaway)

HGG: BIGGEST giveaway of the year {$900 iPad package}

I adore our iPad and I use it allllll the time. So does Steve and so does Ryan–I always say it’s the best babysitter ever, haha. So what happened when Ryan dropped it on the driveway without a case and the screen cracked? Steve touched it up with some glue (we’re crafty, I tell ya) and we’re getting a new one for Christmas this year… it’s probably the best thing that could have happened because now we’ll have TWO, even if the screen on one is cracked. Thanks, Ryan! 😉
