Love me some monthly subscription boxes. We're regulars of Bark Box for the pup and I've tried a few others along the way. There's just something fun about the unknown showing up on your doorstep. So I was perusing Groupon one day and shopping for nothing in particular (which is always dangerous) when I found a deal to try out a one month box ...

#FiOSPhilly For My #BacktoSchool Middle Schooler & Family
For the last week, we've been on vacation visiting my parents down in North Carolina. Let me set this story up for you: that's my very tech-savvy family of 4, staying in my parents house with a crazy amount of devices that require fast Wifi. Let me take a count now on how many devices we connect with daily. Hubby: his work laptop. iPad. ...
When I Go Into my Local GameStop, it’s like Going into Cheers, EVERYBODY KNOWS MY NAME
Do you guys have gamers in your house? That's pretty much all my boys are about over here. We have both a WiiU and an Xbox360 and I'd say the WiiU is definitely the preferred system of choice right now although I do see Nate (11) starting to move over to the Xbox more. For gaming purchases, I'm all about GameStop. While I love Amazon, ...
AT&T Unite for GoPhone: WiFi For the Whole Family – IN THE CAR!
My kids have been big-time spoiled with this latest gadget we've been testing out. It's the AT&T Unite for GoPhone by Netgear and it's a mobile hotspot that allows us to connect to it and get Wifi with up to 10 devices. Can I tell you guys how awesome this was for our latest road trip (9 hours in the car?!) I'm sure you all can ...
October’s Big Game Release & Thoughts: Skylanders Trap Team
Is anyone out there playing the new Skylanders Trap Team yet? It came out last week and I feel like I haven't been hearing as much buzz as I have in the past. We have yet to dive in. My youngest (and the Skylanders guru in the house) turns 8 in early November so we always hold out for his birthday to open up the latest version of the game. ...
In Search of iPhone 6 Accessories
I did it - I bit the bullet and ordered the iPhone 6. Last week I was in my local Apple retailer getting my iPhone 5 battery replaced after Apple FINALLY announced that there were issues with certain iPhone5 batteries. And because I love shiny new toys, I couldn't help but check out the iPhone 6. The customer service girl was all to happy to ...
Kindle Fire: Best Tablet & E-Reader Option for Kids
We're definitely a Kindle family and I haven't been shy about sharing my love of our family Kindles. My last Kindle-related post was last month about stealing my kids' Paperwhite. I can feel a little less guilty about it now that we also have a Kindle Fire for the kids. We got the Kindle Fire thanks to Staples and it's great that they now each ...
Get SUCKED in with this new Game/App: Panda PandeMonium
Cole and I have been playing this one with the same level of addiction I was playing Candy Crush last year. It's a brand new app and game called Panda PandaMonium and it's a little like Majong meets Candy Crush. You're making matches, have goals to achieve and the ultimate goal each round is to save the pandas who are trapped in the ...
That Time I Totally Stole My Kid’s Kindle {Kindle Paperwhite}
Technically, our new Kindle Paperwhite is supposed to be a back to school product for our family. I received an email pitching me on the benefits of the Kindle as a back to school essential (there are many!) and thought, hey, this is awesome for us! It came in the mail, but as I started playing with it, I have to totally come clean and tell you ...
