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 [...]

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 [...]

Get Yourself a Memory Like an Elephant with the Educational and Entertaining Zoo Snap App

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 [...]

App Store $25 Gift Card

Recently, I told you all about the awesome sports team-organizing app HomeTeam. It’s an awesome app that lets you completely manage all the different sports teams that you or kids are on. You can list parents and coaches’ contact information, practice schedules, full team rosters, photos and more. If your kids are on even one [...]

Draw Something, Guess Nothing

IMG_4641

Like most people, my family goes in and out when it comes to apps. We’ve had vicious rounds of Words With Friends and really got into Draw Something. The kids even get in on the fun and play against me and Allie on their iTouches. And then there’s my dad. He plays with all of [...]

Root, Root, Root for the HomeTeam App and Organize Your Sports Schedules

The Avengers

As a kid, I played Little League. I was awful at first and hated it, but grew to love it and even won the championship in my final year playing. There were multiple practices and games each week. To keep track of it all, my mom had the schedule front and center on the fridge, [...]

Sound Off At Your Friends With the Listen Up! App

Listen Up icon

I’m a big fan of word games. Scrabble’s okay but I mean word games you play with a group of people. Something like Taboo (where you describe a word but can’t say certain keywords) or even Pictionary (where you can’t speak, only draw clues to a word). Since I’ve gotten an iPhone, I’ve played tons [...]

The New iTrace Handwriting App is Exactly What I Needed As a Kid

Spelling your name

I have terrible handwriting. No, like REALLY bad. You can’t tell, though, because I’m typing this on a computer. But trust me, it’s atrocious. The only person in the whole wide world with worse handwriting than me is my old childhood buddy Ethan. Geez. His was so bad that in high school, our Chemistry teacher [...]

My Son the Movie Director!

imovie

My kids recently discovered the iMovie app. While I don’t have an iPad (yet!), the app does work on an iPhone. What does it do? Basically it’s a movie app that easily lets you create movies with effects, or for more fun, create short movie trailers. Jason and Ryan have been having a blast, to [...]

Scrabble Meets Math In the Super Fun iPhone App GoSum

Math app for iPhone

In college I was really torn about what direction to go in. Most people are either left brained or right brained. They’re either analytic or creative. Me? I’m both. I was seriously not sure whether to go for an English degree or a Math one. I loved solving math problems (big fan of puzzles), but I’ve also [...]
