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 [...]

I’ve Got Pac-Man Fever!

Pac-Man cake

I grew up on Pac-Man. Not that I was any good at it. But I loved gobbling up those little energy pellets almost as fast as the arcade machine gobbled up my quarters. Then I met my wife in college, who was not only a huge fan of Ms. Pac-Man, she was also the best [...]

Zoo Snap

I’ve played Memory probably a gazillion times in my life. I can’t… uh… actually remember the exact number, but trust me, it’s a lot. As a kid, I’d take a deck of cards, lay them all out face down and then play “matching” with my sister. When my kids were younger we played a few [...]

This past weekend, the weather was gorgeous, so I tossed the kids outside, locked the doors and curled up with a beer and a Yankees game. Okay, that’s not entirely true. I didn’t have any cold beer. But the kids did play outside for awhile and I even joined them. They were playing on our playground, which, [...]

My Kids are Pushing Poop Pills

Toilet Tales

Ryan has become obsessed with the iPad app called iMovie. He uses it to make movie trailers and 15-minute videos of himself playing Minecraft as he explains what’s happening. Yeah, in his own words, Ryan’s become a “YouTuber.” Jason loves joining in at times too, and when the kids’ cousins are over for a visit, [...]

Ryan has been clamoring for a dog for the past two years. Not a day goes by without hearing, “When are we going to get a dog?” Allie and I are big animal lovers and definitely want a dog (or two) but Jason’s not a big fan. He used to be petrified of them and [...]

Recycle

The following guest post was provided by Isabelle Guarella. Isabelle is a British-based blogger, and you can find more of her writing at PassSmart.com.

Today’s a landmark day here at Mommy’s Busy, Go Ask Daddy. You’re about to read the very first guest post on here! Oliver pitched me an article that certainly caught my attention: Getting kids into technology.
