I thought I would take a minute to mention a great shopping site for kids stuff that many do not know about. I know the stores and sites like Toys R Us that have been around. But there are lots of other places on the web to find great deals.
I've learned that with babies and kids comes lots of new "stuff" that I didn't need before. So having some good resources is important. Your Kids Direct is a store I didn't really know about and I'm sure others have never heard about it as well.

Reading! That is something you don't catch kids doing enough of. We live in the world of TV and movies. And let's not forget video games.
I will say that I have played a few video games in my life and I even still have an Xbox sitting in my living room. I'm about to be a dad and I still have my Xbox. It is kind of funny when I think about my parents generation. But they didn't grow up with video games like we did. I remember getting our first Nintendo (the original) when I was about 5 or 6. I barely even remember the Atari days. So video games are something that our generation grew up with. Now, my Xbox stays wrapped up in the entertainment center and only comes out every couple of months on special occations.
I guess I say all that to say that my generation grew up on video games and TV. And when I look at kids today who are still in school, I see them with even more distractions than we had. Not that video games are bad or that all TV is bad. But TV and games can not replace reading.

My wife and I are just finishing up our move. It's the big count down, my wife is due with our first baby any time now.
We finally found a house we liked a couple months ago. It was a house in good condition but needed "a little updating." That "little updating" turned in to quite a project. And it was a big project at a very big time in our lives. The last few weeks have seemed kind of like a blur to me. I've been doing all my normal activities as well as preparing for our baby, doing a good size home renovation project, and moving! So I thought I should take the time to review my experience over the last couple of weeks and see what I have learned. By no means am I an expert but thought maybe this might be helpful to some...
Reviews iPhone Revelations; Hype

The launch of Apple's iPhone on June 29th was a big one as we knew it would be. I thought I should make a few more comments on the iPhone after the lauch.
The big question was whether the phone could live up to all the hype? Has it? For the real Apple lovers, it probably has. Apple has a huge following of loyer customers who have waited a long time for this product. If someone bought the phone mainly for its cool look, they are probably happy with their purchase. It has lived up to the hype in that respect. Being completely touchscreen, it looks different from other phones out there.
But for the people who were not totally sure about the phone or whether they should spend the money, they may have been a little disappointed. Not that it is a bad phone but for the price you pay and the commitment you make to get it, you are going to have high expectations.

This is a different kind of review. There is a video posted on YouTube that will blow your mind. Times are changing and changing fast. This video clip helps paint that picture with some amazing facts!
To some this is scary. To others this is fascinating. But however it makes you feel, you must know that we are living in the Information Age. We have so much information available to all of us right now, it is hard to imagine it doubling every couple of years.
Think about people living 100 years ago. What a different world they lived in compared to us. But who knows, in just 20 years people may look back on 2007 the way we look back on 1907.
