Gone Eggnoggin’

Even bloggers must take a break, and so we here at Parent Bloggers Network will be on hiatus until January 2, 2008.
2008 — Can you believe that?
We’ll be back with some exciting new products, services, and Blog Blasts to start of the new year with a bang.
If you’re a potential client interested in working with [...]

Discovery Channel Store Toys (ages 7+) - Well Worth the Wait

I almost feel guilty, writing a post describing the fabulous Discovery Channel Store toys that our bloggers have been reviewing, when both of those toys  - the Discovery Tornado Lab and the Discovery Slide and Shoot Digital Camera - have grown so popular that they’re now on backorder until the end of February.  But on [...]

HP Photo Printer and Photo Books - Liven Up Your Holiday Gatherings!

The bloggers in the second half of this campaign have been just as thrilled with the products as the bloggers in the first half. As before, their photo editing and printing skills and experience range from novice to expert, so their feedback is varied. But all in all, the HP Photosmart A626 and [...]

Autolite Flareglo and Spotglo: I’m Gonna Let it Shine

Thanks to shorter days and very dark car rides, our bloggers have had plenty of opportunities to try out the Spotglo, a light that conveniently attaches to a seat belt allowing passengers to safely read books, maps, or whatever else they need. We hope, however, that they only had to test the Flareglo, a fantastic [...]

Discovery Channel Store Toys (ages 5+) - Science Is Their New Favorite Subject

“I’ve got a riddle for you. What’s blue, talks, and keeps my kids busy for an hour at a time?
The Spark Talking Telescope!”
She’s not kidding; both the Spark Talking Telescope and the Spark Talking Microscope from the Discovery Channel Store have been top favorites of our parent bloggers and their children too.
The telescope was beloved [...]

Discovery Channel Store Toys (ages 7+): Here’s What They’re Saying So Far

With only a few days left for holiday shopping and many folks still scrambling to purchase toys, may I suggest the Discovery Channel Store? If you’ve not had a chance to peruse their site, I can almost guarantee that they’ve got something for everyone, including toys for the young and the old.
But what we’re focused [...]

That Baby DVD & That Baby CD: Stuff Those Stockings

For the past month, many of our parent bloggers with kids in the range of 0-5 have been checking out Rob and Lisi Wolf’s new release That Baby DVD (and the accompanying CD). Known for their religious production Oy Baby!, this Seattle based couple (and partners in parenthood) together with singer/songwriter Stephanie Schneiderman, have put [...]

Discovery Channel Store Toys (ages 3+) - A Pre-Schooler’s Dream

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that a kid’s enjoyment of a toy and their parents’ enjoyment of that same toy are inversely proportional, but I will say that most parents, myself included, are big fans of peace and quiet - and preserving the integrity of our baseboards. But when we see our [...]

Day Runner Family Matters - To Each Their Own

“It’s not ME that’s disorganized, it’s my kids.”
Ain’t it the truth? Along with those whirlwinds known as children, I expect many women would point the finger at their spouses too. Because as one blogger put it: “As the Chief Operating Officer of this family, I am the one to whom the fliers for [...]
