Disclosure: I was provided free tickets to attend the Day Out with Thomas event. All opinions are mine own.

The Day out with Thomas: The Go Go Thomas Tour 2013 provides kiddos the opportunity to climb aboard and take a ride with Thomas as well as participate in Thomas & Friends themed activities.

Thomas the Tank Engine pulled into Greenfield Village this past Saturday, the hubs, the kid and I were there to take part in all the fun. We had a wonderful time. The kid really enjoyed himself. And, since he didn’t remember the first time we went, four years ago, it was like his first time!

Kids, and their families, are invited to take a 25 minute ride around Greenfield Village on Thomas, meet Sir Topham Hatt, and enjoy a day of Thomas & Friends themed activities including arts & crafts, model trains, storytelling and more.

Wake me up, when April ends.

April 25, 2013 By Bree 1 Comment

Howdy, folks. Long time, no see. It’s been over two weeks, since my last post. My apologies. April has turned in to a really, really crappy month. Between a stomach virus that just would not end and more than one death in the family – I just haven’t been motivated to do much of anything. In fact, ~~as I type up this post, I am~~ when I started this post, I was on day two of a really bad migraine – exacerbated by a very uncooperative kid. Seriously, when will it end?

But, even in light of all the crap, I’m trying to find some good. So, in an attempt to pull myself out of this funk I’m in, here’s a list of five small things going on, that make me smile.

My 3+ day migraine is pretty-much gone. Just a dull ache, now. Much better than it was yesterday and the day before.
We’re going to see Thomas the Train this weekend, and the weather is looking pretty darn good.
The $5 McDonald’s gift card I got, as a Klout perk. I’m using it to try out their new Premium McWrap. Stay tuned to my Twitter feed to see how it goes.
I plan on spending an hour this evening, working on my editorial calendar for The Mom with Moxie.
This month is almost over. Thank goodness! I’m claiming May as a much better month.

How about you guys? How are you doing? Has April been kind to you?

15 Awesome Android Apps for Kids

April 9, 2013 By Bree Leave a Comment

Last year, I switched from the iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy sIII. Let me just say… I love it! The kid loves it too. And, like most moms, I use it to keep him busy, when we’re somewhere that requires a wait.

Unfortunately, sifting through all the apps available can be a chore, and a bore. No worries, though! I’ve done the work for you… Here is a list of the top Android apps, for kids that we’re digging, right now (some have a minimal cost):
