As the only male in a house full of females, my wife asked me to play the new Family Fun Football game for Wii and let her know what I thought of it.  Now, I love football, so I eagerly accepted the challenge.

This game was rated E for everyone by the ESRB.  They described it as:

This is a football game in which players can select a team of “cartoony” children or mascots and compete in an entry-level football experience. Players can use power-ups (e.g., “Speed Boost” and …

One of the coolest things under our tree this year is some Melissa & Doug play food.  It’s the Slice and Bake Cookie Set and my 3 year old will love it!  This thirty piece wooden set includes twelve cookies, twelve cookie toppings, an oven mitt, spatula, knife, cookie tray, and cookie tube.

The Melissa & Doug toys are incredibly sturdy and well made.  The  Bake Cookie Set even has a durable dough tube for storing the serviceable velcro cookies (cool, huh?).  Its paint is non-toxic, tested safe, and lead free. I just wish …

I have just now discovered the POURfect bowl collection and let me tell you, it is cool!  No, I did not misspell it ~ POURfect is correct.  It;s name comes from it;s many, many uses. It’s a measuring bowl, mixing bowl, and pouring bowl all-in-one. To you and me, that equates to one really great thing - fewer dishes to clean and lots more shelf space.  It also means less chance of spills and dirty counters.  I think I am in Heaven!

POURfect bowls can be used to measure small amounts from …

If you are you a fan of Dancing With The Stars like my Mom and I, you know that getting taught to dance by one of the Pros would be both a dream and a nightmare, all rolled into one.  They really put their Stars through major workouts, day after grueling day and before the Stars know what’s happening, they are out there on the floor shimmying with the best of them.  I have also seen how fit and trim they become too.  Who wouldn’t with that kind of daily workout …

Books have always been a wonderful thing for me to have.  My parents always read to me and books were something that could transport me from this world  into another.  Now, even as an adult, this magic is something I love to share with my own children, especially special books we read only during certain times of the year.  Brought to us by the wonderful folks at Leaping Antelope Productions and by Marilee Joy Mayfield and Tracy La Rue Hohn, The Snowman’s Song is a Christmas Story that we can …

You may recall that for her birthday in September, P1 asked for and received a Nintendo DS.  Being the wise parents that we are, we were not sure that she would enjoy it and use it as much as she thought she would.  Thankfully, we have been proven wrong and she has shown very good judgment in taking care of it as well.  With Christmas only a month away, so have come the girls’ Christmas Lists and it is no surprise that P1 has requested a game or two for …

I am really struggling with the upcoming Christmas Season.  Struggling with the needs vs. wants thing this year but not for myself, for my kids.  We have a nice roof over our heads, plenty of clothes to even be able choose what to wear on any given day, food, well, certainly not an issue and plenty of things to fill up our spare time.  My children have two parents who love them dearly as well as extended family, we have friends, people who love us, and a bright future ahead.  …

A little while back, I was offered the chance by Mom Select to host a “ZhuZhu Pets” Party.  My girls are always game for a party so I said sure, send me what I need for the party.  Much to my surprise, a very large box arrived containing some adorable little critters who have now been nominated Toy of the Year and are hot, Hot, HOT!
In case you have been in some hole under the Polar ice cap and have yet to hear about the ZhuZhu Pets, let me enlighten …

I thought we would try something new this year for Christmas on 3Ps in a Pod – a Christmas Gift Guide.  In it there will be some great Christmas gift ideas for the entire family!  This was not our original plan but there are so many wonderful ideas rolling around in my head that I thought I would share them and maybe they will get a spark going for you too.  How I wish this could be like Oprah’s Favorite Things and I could just give them all to you!
