Review: My Friend Freddy Bear

September 17, 2015

I first found out about My Friend Freddy Bear at BritMums Live this year, and was immediately intrigued by the product – an interactive soft toy that connects to an iPad (or other tablet – it works with Android devices too). Lydia is a huge soft toy obsessive, and so a teddy that knows her name and asks for cuddles is perfect for her.

Review: Tiggly Words & Maths

August 4, 2015

We were given a set of Tiggly Maths and a set of Tiggly Words to review, and to be honest I have quite mixed feelings about these ones. Lydia loves her Tiggly cushion, but the two sets have definitely had a lukewarm reception from both girls, although they do have their good points too.

Review: Eli Explorer iPhone / iPad app from Colto

May 20, 2015March 18, 2015

Georgie has been playing with this app on and off for a few weeks now, and definitely enjoys it. Eli Explorer is a “free roam” style app, where children can direct Eli to go wherever they wish, as he interacts with his environment, and speaks the names of things seen on screen.

Review: ABC Gurus iPhone / iPad app from Colto

May 20, 2015March 7, 2015

Georgie (almost 4) and Lydia (just 2) have both been playing with this app since I installed it on their iPad, and they both love it. Georgie knows her letters and is learning all of the phonetic pronunciations right now, so this app is perfect for her.

Found in the girls Camera Roll

March 6, 2015

The girls share my husband’s old iPad, which lives in an iGuy protective case, and is filled with fun and educational apps. Georgie is very creative lately and has some great drawing apps, as well as other silly apps that end up with the ability to save something to the camera roll. Both Georgie and …

Any geeky apple fan will know that Apple are currently holding their 2014 Worldwide Developers Conference. It kicked off yesterday with their opening keynote, the highlight of the conference for those of us interested in the future of iOS – the operating system that iPhones & iPads run on. Basically, on Monday Apple gave everyone …

Review: Woolly and Tig iPad app

May 20, 2015February 11, 2014

Georgie really enjoys the Woolly and Tig tv show on Cbeebies, so when they contacted me to let me know that an iPad was being launched, I was looking forward to checking it out. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t have quite the same level of appeal as the tv show. The main idea of the app is to entertain children, while making every day activities seem more fun.

Geeking Out: Speed up your blog commenting with text shortcuts on iPhone & iPad

August 9, 2013

I love to comment on other blogs as much as I can, as the blogging community is a fab place to be. I know how much I enjoy having people comment on my posts to tell me what they think, and so I’m resolving to comment more on blogs when I read them. A lot …

Review: PadPivot NST Ultra Portable Universal Tablet Stand

May 20, 2015July 14, 2013

We were sent the PadPivot stand to try out with our iPads and were initially impressed by the stand. The versatility is impressive, and I was looking forward to being able to strap it to my leg in the car or curled up on the sofa with my feet up. Unfortunately, not long into testing, the stand broke.

Georgie’s latest artwork

July 4, 2013

Just browsing through my photostream from yesterday & found this contribution from the iPad. Georgie was playing yesterday, and must have decided she liked her colouring enough to save it!
