It’s official: holiday gift giving season is here, with its accompanying onslaught of commercials and sales intended to empty our wallets and fill our hearts and homes with joy - or, barring that, a zillion new toys.
Don’t get us wrong; we love shopping, for ourselves and for others. But how much of what we buy [...]

While I adore the instant gratification that comes from taking pictures with a digital camera, I’ve not been so quick to jump on board the photo printer bandwagon. I’d like to think that I’m so digitally entrenched that I’ve fully adopted the online viewing and CD storage paradigm, but it would be closer to [...]

If you haven’t already stocked your vehicle with safety and convenience supplies, particularly with the coming winter ahead, you’ll be interested in this campaign featuring products from Autolite. We’ve got ten bloggers set to review these two products:

Flareglo Safety Lite: reusable battery-powered electronic safety flares
Spotglo Seatbelt Lite: compact LED light source that clips easily [...]

If I had a K, 1st, or 2nd grader, I’d be running out (or online, thanks to the beauty of technology) to purchase or download Knowledge Adventure’s new educational game Jump Start World. That’s just how much the kids and their blogging parents are loving it. Said one mom, “Out of ALL the things I’ve [...]

Today, we’re launching the second of three campaigns in which our bloggers will review toys from the Discovery Channel Store (the first campaign launch - toys geared toward ages 3+ - can be found here). Fifteen bloggers received either a Spark Talking Microscope - 5x magnification of actual specimens! - or a Spark Talking [...]

In honor of Black Friday (I know, cliche’ but hey, why not?), we’ve combed through our archives to offer you the best of the best — products and books that we’ve reviewed over the last year that make perfect holiday gifts in our Holiday Must-Haves List.
And rest assured, they are all Parent Bloggers approved with [...]

It’s cold and flu season, and I’d bet more than half of us couldn’t locate a cough drop. Not even one that’s a year old, half-unwrapped and stuck to the bottom of your purse.
And it’s always at the most inconvenient time that you start to feel a cold coming on. You get that [...]

When I finished reading Beauty Confidential, I gushed to anyone who would listen to me gush about how much I loved that book. I carried it around in my bag. I showed it to the woman who rang up my purchases at Sephora (all bought on the author’s advice, of course). I [...]

If you’re looking for a fun who-dun-it fiction with wonderfully descriptive writing, then our bloggers say check out “Dangerous Admissions,” Jane O’Connor’s newest book. Our first set of bloggers greatly enjoyed this murder mystery and our final few bloggers shared similar sentiments.
Similar to our first group of bloggers, these readers were taken aback by Jane’s writing style. [...]
