My son (and I, I have to admit) have been fans of Yo Gabba Gabba for more than a year now. We don’t watch a lot of television, but when we do, it’s usually Yo Gabba Gabba. We love the music, the characters and of course the special guests. When we heard they were going on tour, and would be performing at a town near us, I knew we had to go. We had since indoctrinated Mommy, and after a few big events such as a They Might Be Giants kids concert and a major league baseball game, we knew our three year old was ready for the show. I got online to buy tickets as soon as they went on sale, and nabbed seats in the center of the fourth row. Click below to read my review of the show, and don’t forget our chances to win tickets to go see the show yourself! Read the rest of this entry »

We have been having a blast playing with the Nanos by Hexbugs. You can play with the Nanos by themselves, or go nuts building elaborate environments with the modular habitat system. The bugs are perfect for kids ages 3 & up, but I’m pretty close to bringing in this habitat to the office.
You can check out more about the Nanos from Hexbugs.com. And if you’re a collector, you can register your Nano’s unique online code at HandandStars.com
Bonus: Listen to me chat about the Nano’s on Magic 106.5 FM with Jack Logar a few weeks back!
In the interest of full disclosure, I have purchased several of the Nanos and habitat pieces shown. Hexbugs sent me additional building pieces and some extra Nanos for the purpose of review.
The Spread Heads sent us two more heads to check out, and they’re just in time for your Memorial Day cook-outs.
As you may know, once a week, Jack Logar from Magic 106.5FM calls and we discuss one of my toy reviews. This review features the audio from when we talked about these Spread Heads.
And if you liked these, check out our earlier reviews.
