Your Baby Can Read, Volume 2 - Here’s What They’re Saying So Far

Given how much we bloggers like to write, it only stands to reason that we like to read too, and we want to encourage that love in our children as well. So it’s not surprising that seven of the ten bloggers who reviewed Your Baby Can Read, Volume 1 were on board to review [...]

Mr. Dad Campaign Launch: Fathering Your School Aged Child

My husband just seemed to get the knack of the whole baby-toddler thing and then *bam* — we’ve got ourselves a full fledged preschooler. How exactly did that happen?
Thanks to Mr. Dad, dads and the women/spousal units/partners who love them, don’t have to be sent into shock for too long. Considering how quickly time flies, [...]

Tell Us How Your Family Plays Together, and You Just Might Win a Nintendo Wii!

You don’t have to be the parent of a pack of teenagers to find it difficult to make family time. With the professional and household demands that most families face nowadays, even parents of young children struggle to carve out some time to just play together.

ImagiTales Personalized Children’s Books - Campaign Launch

It’s a good thing children are so cute, because they can be awfully self-centered. They may not yet know any better, but that doesn’t make it any less tiring to listen to their requests day in and day out. And even after they’ve moved past the me-centric toddler stage, they’re still pretty enamored [...]

Your Baby Can Read, Volume 2 - Campaign Launch

When ten of our bloggers reviewed the Introductory and Volume 1 “Your Baby Can Read” DVDs earlier this year, it was a pleasant surprise to see that they found real value in the program. Not because our bloggers are believers in turning four month old babies into walking, talking geniuses, but because we’re readers [...]
