Check back daily for a different review from the Cool Mom Guide Goes Green series.  Today’s review is of the Baby Shampoo, and I’ve done a great Video Review to show how great it is on my 9 month old baby! (more…)

Yep, you read that right-there is a PRINCESS BRIDE VIDEO GAME!

When I was given the opportunity to review this game I practically jumped through my email to the lovely person on the other side offering it to hug her.  This is one of my all-time favorite movies and the fact that it’s back in a game (rated E for Everyone) warms my heart.

There are some movies that should never be forgotten and watched by every generation.  By creating The Princess Bride Video Game, the tech-savvy kids of today are gaining a new interest in watching the movie and their parents (ME!) get to take part in playing as well. (more…)

If anyone has ever seen my button, you’d see that I used a picture I took of my boys at the zoo.  Jake stuck his face I the one hole and Ryan help Josh up to the other while I snapped the picture.

Well, I came across a web site this morning called Made Up Memories where you can choose a storyline and upload a picture of your child’s (or anyone else’s) face.  It has you adjust the picture to fit in the allotted area by scaling it up or down and rotating it and then it asks for the individuals name.

Once you’ve finished, you simply hit enter and wait a moment and you get a great story that you helped make!  You can choose from a princess story for little girls (but I’m thinking about putting my brother’s face in there he he), a non-stop action comic strip about a super hero for little boys and a very funny spoof about holiday “it” toys like Tickle Me Elmo and Furby.

After you watch the movie, you have the option of saving it or emailing it to friends and family.  I can’t stop creating stuff.  I have a hilarious picture of Jacob from a few weeks ago where he decided to bathe in swim goggles and I put that into the spoof on toys and just about peed my pants.

My special, special boy

When the movie is done, you have the option of sending it to anyone you want or you can save it to your desktop if you register an account with Memeo Share, the easy way to share photos, videos and more with friends for free.  I’ve made 3 movies and Jake keeps asking me to replay them for him over and over.

If you’re looking for a good laugh and a wonderful video memory to share, check it out.  It’s free and people love it.  I’ve already sent it out to some people and got ‘how did you do that’ replies back!
