GazziliMath Takes Your Preschooler to the Zoo to Learn Counting

Counting Parrots

I cannot tell you how many times I visited the Bronx Zoo when I was a kid. We must’ve gone every summer or so. To this day, my parents still remind me of the the one visit they’ll never forget. As usual, it was a real hot summer day and we had spent a number [...]

Weber Grill Giveaway – Plus, Win $100 Worth of Printer Ink from LD Products (Ends 6/7)

Grill Giveaway

Hey, there! Can you smell it? Yeah, that’s the smell of Memorial Day weekend just around the corner. The hot dogs. Hamburgers. Corn on the cob. Potato Salad. Pickles. Cole Slaw. I only wish the internet had smell-o-vision installed already. Yes, Memorial Day’s upon us and to me that means three magical letters: BBQ! If [...]

Earlier this year, I talked about a search called Qmee. It’s a neat little app that you just add to your browser and it lets you earn money simply by searching or shopping at your favorite places. You don’t need to use a special search engine and you actually do get pretty solid results. Best [...]

My Name is Andrew and I’m a K’NEX Ambassador

20130519-081255.jpg

I’ve worked with many companies before doing reviews, giveaways and just general posts. But I’ve never before been an official blog ambassador. Blog Ambassadors get to represent a company through multiple posts all year. Specifics vary by company, but some are paid, while others only give you free merchandise to review and give away. I’ve [...]

I have a confession to make. It’s kind of embarrassing for me to admit but… well, are you really going to make me say it? Geez, this is worse than the time when I admitted that my sister once did my nails and hair so I’d look like Boy George. Oh wait, I don’t think [...]

Free My Penguin iPad App, Plus Win a 1-Year Club Penguin Membership (Ends 5/31)

My Penguin

You really have to hand it to Disney. (Or Disney Interactive in this case.) They really know how to take a good idea and make it great. Not to mention cute. Apparently they grow stalks of adorableness at Disney HQ year round. I’ve written about Club Penguin before, so you already know that I’m a [...]

L.A. Story

Metal Bots

I just got back from a whirlwind few days in L.A. I was out there on some not-fun personal business. For even more fun, I took the red eye flight back, leaving L.A. at 11:30 p.m. last night and arriving at JFK in New York at 7:30 a.m. Surprisingly, I made it through the entire [...]

The poem is by Chaplain Bob Fox and the movement was kicked off by the mighty Joel McKinnon of McKinnon Insurance.   I saw this posted on Facebook earlier today and it really touched [...]

Happy Mother’s Day 2013!

wonder-mama-mothers-day-ecards

While every day should be Mother’s Day (taking care of kids is the hardest and most rewarding job in the world), it’s still nice to take a day and remind mom how awesomely special she is. That goes for all you women out there–even if you don’t have any kids, you can still be a [...]

MudBuddy is More than a Friend for Your Kids, He’s an Educational, Environmental iPad Book

MudBuddy and Worm

When I was a kid, I had this little Disney phonograph. It was a small blue plastic case that opened up to reveal a small record player inside. There was a big picture of Pluto on the front and the arm of the player that you move to play the record was actually in the [...]
