Adorable Little App: Check out Endless Alphabet

This is a new favorite of ours here at TheMacMommy headquarters,

(a.k.a, home and sick in bed recovering from the flu). This is a really fun app to entertain
the kiddos up on the Apple TV when beamed from your iPad or iPhone.
Let me know if you too giggle at the letter 'D' and how it says "duh duh duh duh."

Hand Made iPad Tip: Label - Case - BubCap

Got a new iPad? Protect it from getting scuffed and maybe even lost. In this Hand-Made iPad Tip, I discuss labeling your iPad using clear labeling tape, securing your home button with a BubCap and making your iPad more functional and protected.

HatTip: +Knight Wise of KnightWise.com for recommending the rooCASE. I love it!

  A note about BubCap: yes, you can go into Settings and enable Guided Access, but a BubCap is still faster!

Find My Santa

Christmas Eve 2012 - Lucian and Mommy are checking in on Santa's GPS location using the Google Earth app on our iPad.

Doodle-Track Car Set

The boys got a Doodle-Track Car Set for Christmas. Here it is in action. I had a great time with it. I experimented with different lines and thicknesses and then I tried some patterns to see what it could do. It's a fun toy.

I haven't yet, but want to try it with a regular sharpie marker. So far it has worked fine on the blank side of wrapping paper. Below is an affiliate link where you can buy it from Amazon.

Make A List and Tap It Twice

  ...gonna find out who's naughty or nice...

Need a last minute gift for a friend or relative who is also a parent to small children?

Here's an idea just in time for the holiday to help show children the importance of being good for goodness sake (and also for a cookie or extended game time with their new toys after Christmas Day!)

You can gift an app from the iOS App Store!

(I've been known to 'speak for the treeeees!')

Go to this link in the App Store or type "ireward chart" into the search box.

,

Then, after you've logged some good deeds, you can have your child email their iReportCard to Santa directly from within the Share feature of the app. Even Grandma on Facebook can see when they have earned a reward.

My kids love the sounds the stars make. Keagan calls them "good stars" (since he doesn't yet say 'gold' quite right)

When they hear a "red star" sound, it really gets their attention!

Ah Pavlov would be so proud!
