Papier de MaisonEven though new technology, like the Kindle and iPad, puts convenience and speed at our fingertips, sometimes a simple pad of paper and a writing utensil work just as well...if not better!

For instance, if I'm right in the middle of checking my email and I suddenly remember that I need milk from the grocery store, I don't want to scramble for my grocery list app right then.  It's easier in that case for me to jot down what I need on a piece of paper.  Unfortunately, there never seems to be a pen and paper handy when I need them...until now!

I reviewed the Marche de Fleurs Kindle Cover which retails for $20.00 and the Marche de Fleurs iPad Cover which retails for $30.00.

PlayMGEver since I first got a smartphone several years ago, I've been enamored with the multitude of free apps available for it.  Whether it's calendars, cookbooks or games, Android has an app for that.  Unfortunately, these amazing, free apps have a downside...now Riley wants to constantly use my phone to play games like Angry Birds.  :pull hair out:

Learning ResourcesOne of the neatest "Aha!" moments I had growing up was when I finally discovered just how much the entire world is based on mathematics.  My dad used to say that mathematics was its own language...the language of the universe.  Once I began to learn that math was so much more than just a few problems to solve on a piece of paper, but rather the building blocks of everything around us, I truly appreciated the subject.

The appreciation of understanding how the real world is integrated into the math we use everyday is the cornerstone of the Real World Folding Geometric Shapes toy from Learning Resources.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Real World Folding Geometric Shapes from Learning Resources which retails for $36.99, but is currently on sale for $31.89 with FREE SHIPPING.

PajamaJeansBeing  a busy mom on the go, I often choose comfort over style for my "work attire".  I need to be able to move easily and never want to feel confined throughout the day, which is why you can normally find me in some form of activewear.

I love the look of denim, but with zippers and buttons cutting into you, they're not always the most comfortable choice.  Now, thanks to PajamaJeans, you can truly have your cake and eat it too.  Finally, we're able to enjoy the look and style of denim, while feeling as comfortable as though we were still in our pajamas.

I reviewed the PajamaJeans which retail for $39.95.
