Mom approved apps for kids...{ review }

As a mom of two young kids I am constantly on the look out for apps that are not only fun but also educational. My kids were recently fortunate enough to try an app from Kiboomu. They received Preschool Sing & Learn. My daughter who is 4 absolutely adores it. She is playing, singing, dancing, and best of all LEARNING. Within a short period of time she was reciting the days of the week. They also offer a wide variety of coloring pages, crafts, and music on their website. Kiboomu is One Little Mom Approved! If you would like to learn more about their award winning apps you can connect with them on twitter & facebook as well!

A Hot Spot To Keep Your Kids Cool This Summer...

Just like all Moms with kids on summer vacation I have been looking for ways to keep my kids entertained while they are home. I live in Southern Ca. and it is HOT so it isn't always possible for us to be outside playing or even in the pool. But I have found the answer to those three dreaded words..."Mommy I'm bored!" While doing an online search for local places to visit (that were indoors) I stumbled upon Dig It! The Fossil Workshop. This place is pretty much a Moms dream come true they offer entertainment & education! WooHoo! So you may be asking yourself what is it? They are an interactive retail store we that offers prehistoric adventures. It's an opportunity to venture back 100 million years for an expedition of a lifetime. The kids can become a Paleontologist and a Geologist, excavate fossils and minerals in the Jurassic Sand Quarries. They can dig up prehistoric life discovering real fossils that are 5-6000 million years old, and become a geologist as they unearth rocks and minerals from all around the world. They can continue exploring and take home the specimens that they prepare at the preparation lab. The best part about these adventures is they get to take home the fossils and minerals. They also offer scout groups, school groups, as well as birthday parties. All of the adventures are hands on as well as educational. It doesn't get any better than that, right? Not to mention Little Dude is 100% dinosaur obsessed! We haven't had the chance to check them out yet but I can't wait to pay them a visit this summer! Do you have a favorite summer hot spot or is there somewhere you are just dying to go?
