I think all parents want their children to follow in their footsteps to some extent.  It's a lot of fun to share similar interests with your child, and for me, one of those interests I like to share with Riley is my love for Science.  As a former teacher with a Genetics degree, I've been fascinated by the broad subject of Science for as long as I can remember.  Seeing Riley's emerging love and enthusiasm for Science definitely warms my heart and gives me yet another great way to bond with my daughter.

As any good scientist knows, experiments in the lab are a vital part of discovery and understanding, and these experiments always require accurate and precise measurements.  That's why I was thrilled to see Learning Resources's newest toy, the Primary Science Mix & Measure Set.  I had the chance to review this amazing scientific set with Riley.  Keep reading to learn more!

I have to admit that I've been lusting after an iPad 2 for quite some time now, but haven't had the good fortune to snag one just yet.  My husband happened to hit the jackpot though at work, for his company recently decided that all employees needed an iPad 2 and issued him one.

I love playing around on this new gadget, but have to admit that I don't quite like it when it comes to typing.  I definitely miss having a separate keyboard there for when I need to type a lot and prefer my bulky laptop for this task instead.

My husband also complains that typing is a little too tedious on the iPad 2 and because of this, he doesn't use his iPad very much.  WHAT?!?  :big eyes:  Okay, that to me is simply unacceptable, and I thought that there must be a better solution out there which would increase the functionality of the iPad 2.  Thankfully, Kensington came to my rescue with their new KeyLite Ultra Slim Touch Keyboard Folio.  Keep reading to learn more about a Father's Day gift idea that will hopefully knock my husband's socks off!

My family is full of incessant snackers!  We tend to nibble on something all day long and I'm constantly trying to make sure that our snacking options are healthy ones.  I believe that our body runs in much the same way as a car...put in top-of-the-line fuel and you'll have an engine that purrs like a kitten.  Fill your tank with sugar and you just may find that your car won't start!

Old London sent my family three boxes of all natural, healthy snacks to try:  Bagel Chips, Melba Snacks and Melba Toast.  Keep reading to learn why these versatile snacks will have your family munching and crunching with delight!
