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

Still doing some holiday shopping? If you’re done, I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! Haha. But we are almost done. Ya know, when you start in October, you should be all done and wrapped with pretty bows by now, right?! Nope. 9 days to go! I partnered with one of my favorite stores, Best Buy, to share some great gift ideas with you! With “expert service and unbeatable price,” these top gifts are on my list this Holiday and here’s why they should be on yours: Xbox One is the place As a reader of Baby Dickey, you must know by now that this house loves Animal Jam. The kids love playing on the interactive playground and I love finding awesome crafts and activities for them to do. Animal Jam’s pinterest boards are full of fun and the Animal Jam Academy has lots of free printables I don’t know about your kids (or YOU), but this family is FROZEN obsessed. I might be a little embarrassed about how many times I’ve seen it and how I know every word to every song…. “Let It Go?” Obviously a favorite in the shower. So clearly FROZEN made our holiday wish lists, as I’m sure it’s on many kids’ lists this season! But WHAT are you getting?! There are so many FROZEN gifts out there… how to choose?! I love Target (who doesn’t?!) so I partnered with them to bring you these hot I received free products in order to host the LeapFrog sponsored MommyParty. The opinions expressed here are my own. Do your kids love to play video games, but you worry about too much screen time and not enough physical activity? Looking for fun indoor ideas to stay warm this winter? The new LeapTV by LeapFrog is definitely the must-have holiday wish list toy for kids! We recently had friends over to try it out and it was a BIG hit, we all love it, and it’s now on their wish lists! T-minus 4 days to Halloween! We’ve been scarfing all-things-pumpkin, working on costumes, and decorating with spiderwebs and skeletons. Now let’s have some fun! Ryan heads to Animal Jam for interactive playground fun and I head to their Academy for all kinds of new ideas on crafts and activities. So, what do they have up their sleeve for Halloween? LOTS OF FUN! Night of the Phantoms! You can find an entire Pinterest board of Halloween crafts. I had Ryan (our 4-year-old) look through and decide Last month I shared a new website my kids and I love called Animal Jam. Not only does it have an awesome online “playground,” but they offer a LOT of amazing free resources… printables with coloring pages and connect-the-dots, science experiments, crafts, educational sheets on animals, and more. Endless hours of fun (and learning)! Last month we painted rocks from our yard to look like ladybugs, while we chatted about them and other insects. This month has been very busy |
