Best Free Android Apps for Parents (Also According to Us!)

Okay, so last week I gave you the list of our recommended free apps for kids (on android devices). This week, I'm presenting you with our list of our recommended android apps for parents. We are only looking at apps that are currently free on the Google Store. This tends to be the best place to download android apps, but there are other websites like Fileproto.com that also can be a great place to find apps and read different views about how useful they are.

Rewarding Kids for Good Grades (Minus the Big Bucks)

Every three months during the school year, we come to this point where the kids bring home this piece of paper with cryptic marks on it hoping that maybe they'll get some reward for all of their hard work during the school year.

After shopping for girls for so long...I haven't a clue how to shop for boys. Especially toddler boys. It has been recommended to me to look at sites like infantcore.com…

Princess Anna’s Top Picks for Show and Tell

If you have a preschooler like I do, you're probably familiar with show & tell.  Your kid brings something in.  She shows it to the class.  She tells the class about it. I often wonder how Tinkerbell describes her show & tell item.  At home, it's more like this: "It's my doll and I like to play with her." Well, today was show & tell day.  And pajama day.  Which we love.  But that's a story for another day. I'm starting forget already what we've already taken for show & tell.  But we still have half of a year left,…
