Motherhood is an endless “To Do” list and taking my kids to Sesame Place has been on my list. Summer 2011, however, became The Summer That Swim Team Took Over Our Lives, so we never made it. Luckily, Sesame Place has opened its doors with a winter offering, “A Very Furry Christmas.” The theme park has [...]

The Nintendo Wii joined our family two years ago in time for Christmas and we’ve enjoyed it ever since. In an ever-competitive gaming landscape, Nintendo has upped the ante by bringing out the Motion concept — games and remotes that are far more sensitive than the original ones and allow for a new dimension of [...]

“Please pick up your backpacks!” “Did you brush your hair? Your teeth?” ”Have you done your homework?” I know we aren’t the only household constantly asking our children these questions because I see parents kvetching about it on blogs, Twitter and Facebook and when we visit friends I see a variety of chore charts and reward [...]

Short, dark, and kind of cute — the iGo Green Charge Anywhere multi-device charger really caught my eye yesterday at the SV Moms Group/DCMetro Moms Group Brand and Blogger Symposium, so I’ve posted a review on Caffeinated Reviews. Go check it out!

I have always loved sharing my opinions of products with friends — and now that I have a blog, I can not only share those opinions with you, I can also sometimes provide feedback to the companies who make the products. BlogHer is an organization for women who blog (well, that’s the simple explanation) and I respect what they have to say, and they have recommended that reviews be kept separate from other content, so I have launched a separate site, Caffeinated Reviews, so I can bring you “Honest reviews with PEP!” in addition to what I write here.
I am thrilled that my inaugural review is the PlasmaCar toy because it was a really fun product to review — a toy that both kids and parents can enjoy! So please check out the new blog — blogs are always a work in progress so pardon any cyber-dust as I’ll probably continue to tinker with it for a few weeks — and read the first review and comment! I have more reviews coming and soon, JavaDad and another dad soon to reveal his online identity will be joining me to do some guest reviews from the dad perspective.

Are your most precious moments rotting away? Mine are dangerously close.
My father was a television director, so there are very few moments of my life that have gone undocumented. However, those memories were captured on various media: Super 8 (that’s FILM for you young ‘uns), Betamax, VHS, Hi-8, and so on. And NONE of those home movies have been transferred to digital. Until recently, most of them resided at my mother’s house in hot and humid Miami. Heat and humidity are the two worst enemies of media, and those memories captured on film and tape are at risk of being lost if I don’t convert them to safer media soon.
