However, what if you have deadlines and you can't get that 6 to 8 hours of sleep? Well, then the best solution is to take a power nap. Naps are a good way ...
Kids’ Nightmares Interpreted By A Real Artist
Kids have vivid imaginations, and they usually doodle their thoughts down on a piece of paper. Proud of what they have drawn, they show it to the world knowing they will stun whoever they show their drawing to. However, there is a paradox to all this.

Provocative Lego Ads – The Ads You Don’t Want Your Kids To See
There have been a bunch of Lego ads through the company's lifetime and each one is more creative than the one before. One thing they all have in common is the block itself, not much more.

Vintage Gas Stations | Inspiration
Spring is one of my favorite times of year, and when trout season opens next month, my son and I will be spending a lot of time on the weekends fishing in the little creeks in the North Georgia Mountains.

Beware Bullies: Anti-Theft Lunch Bags
Growing up is tough. When my son Henry, who is nine years old, is having a bad day, I often explain to him that it is much more difficult to be a kid than an adult. It’s like a rite of passage that every person has to go through to get to the joys of adulthood.
My mother, who is a very sweet la ...

Is Hello Kitty Going Away Forever?
Since I only have one child, a boy, I don’t know much about girl stuff. In 2009 though, I had the privilege of getting to know a 5 year old little girl and it has opened up a whole new world for me. It is nostalgic when I hear stories about her, and it reminds me of my own childhood.
One thing ...
Is Wii for Kids? Hell-yeah!

Create Your Own Gumby with iKITMovie
I remember when I was very young, one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons wasn’t a cartoon at all. It was Gumby. In case you’ve never seen Gumby, he is a funny green figure animated using stop motion clay animation.
You can understand why I was excited when I found out that iKITMovie, a s ...

Have you ever wondered how dolphins or some whales can see in the cloudy water where they swim? I recently learned that they use a technique called echolocation which allows them to see without using their eyes. According to http://www.dolphinear.com, "Dolphins (and other toothed whales) can produ ...
