Fun Family App: Night Sky

Have you all seen this?? Shout out to Bart Reed who discovered this app out at the fire the other night. Simply down load it for just .99 (apparently there is a Night Sky 2 now, but I like mine just fine) And you can see the names of the stars, constellations and planets all around you. Simply AWESOME!




Check it out with some smore's SOON!

Teach Me Time Clock: QUICKED COOL

Kids Teach-Me-Time Alarm Clock

This QUICKED COOL clock can do WAY more than teach time. It is the perfect nightlight for when your little one is transitioning from the crib to a big-kid bed, because even though the kids cannot tell time just yet- the color changing feature is why I LOVE IT!!!

So, here is how it works- it glows yellow all night (you can set timer for nightlight to come on at bedtime and go off in morning) THEN here is the FABULOUS part... not only can you set the nightlight to come on, but you can set when you would like it to change to green. GREEN- is the magic color in our house. My now 3 and 4 year olds' know that they can only come into Mommy & Daddy's room when their clock is GREEN!
(I am using CAPS a lot in this post- but you know what its worth it!!)

Every morning someone will appear by my bed and say... "Mommy, my clock is green." This lets me know its after 6am and that I should get moving, or let them crawl in for a morning snuggle before we all get going. I love it.

Other fabulous things about this QUICKED COOL CLOCK...

• It comes with different color rings so that snap on the front so that it can be personalized. (Baby boy's is blue, Baby girls is pink)
• It talks. (Ok, when my kids first caught on to this, I wanted to HURT this feature) But- it is a good teaching tool if you are teaching time. Press the button and it tells you the time. Downside.. the lowest volume setting is still LOUD at 2am.
• You can turn the types of clocks on and off. So, if you don't want it to show the digital time whiel you are trying to teach the hour and second hands, you can set it that way. Pretty cool. And this measn this clock can last may more years as my kiddos learn. 
• Finally, it is an ALARM clock, so once my kiddos are ready for that- it can do that too.

So, the almost $40 price tag seemed a little high at first... but think about it mom's, in the end this clock is providing you PRICELESS sleep time. It is SOOOOO worth it.

Enjoy!
