 Gather the kids and huddle together for some Fijit Friends fun, courtesy of Mattel. Last week was challenging. The forces were not bringing good mojo for the kiddos. After dinner, baths, and reading one night, we enjoyed family time with Fijit, Yippit, and Friends, courtesy of Mattel.   None of us knew what to expect. Fijit Friends are   adorable in the box and bring big smiles to the kiddos.     We drew straws and opened the Fijit first. Fijit Friends come in four characters: We received Sage.   The Fijit Friends outside the box are cuddly with their soft, rubber body.   They are meant to be touched, and this cover is perfect for making them squeezable!   We set ours up, and after everyone hugged our Fijit, the fun really began!   Fijits operate by voice commands.   Some keywords trigger responses.   The instructions gave us sentences to begin the conversation.   Li'l Man loves when Sage tells jokes and goes on about how hys...

 Advances in technology have had a strange effect on our world. All of these gadgets we have make our lives both easier and more complicated all at the same time. We have more choices than ever before in how we spend our time, what we do for entertainment, who we meet and how deeply we stay connected with each other's lives. It's a constant attention battle between movie theaters, billboards, smartphones, televisions, and somewhere in the midst of all of that, actual human contact. But while it can be seriously distracting, and possibly why so many of us have ADHD these days, technology also brings some real benefits when it comes to educating our children. Almost every household in America has at least one computer these days, and kids of all ages can learn with the aid of some innovative educational software releases. As parents it is up to us to limit our kids' exposure to the right types of input, but when used properly, computers and educational software can truly enri...

 Teenage car insurance can be a wonderful way to teach your growing child independence and responsibility, but if you're not careful, it can be a great way to see a small investment get positively driven into the ground. Teenagers (and this observation comes from the first-hand experience) tend to adopt the philosophy that car issues go away if you ignore them for a sufficient amount of time. While sometimes this might seem true in the short-run, the long-term effects of neglecting some of the more simple bits of maintenance that any car requires on a regular basis are disastrous.
