March 23, 2011 Featured

An iPad App About Underwear? We’re In.

February 5, 2011 Advice for Dads

We’ve been fans of Todd Parr books for years. His books are fixtures in our house in fact. Bright, bold colors; fun characters and great messages are staples of his books and the kids frequently request works such as The Feel Good Book and Funny Faces during story time. Needless to say, we were excited when [...]

My most beloved business tool is my Moleskine notebook. Something about those pages that makes you want to create. I take them everywhere.

This Product is Cool But I’m Scared My Kid Will Eat It

January 29, 2011 Products

The Kids Are Loving Splish Splash Inn on the Ipad

There’s never a shortage of  developers making apps for the kids/family space, but there always seems to be a lack of truly great artists and interface designers to make cool apps that kids actually want to interact with. Artist Robin Rosenthal saw that opportunity to bring great artwork into the space and created an app called Paper [...]
