Have You Heard of Phygital? It’s the Latest in Kids’ Play
My kids love technology. They love their tablets and game players both. So, when a great smart toy comes along that will work with the iPad and incorporate physical play (phygital is the word!)

Sick Child? TempTraq: Bluetooth Temperature Monitor
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of TempTraq for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. In the later winter of 2010, we were in Northern California for my husband's work and Isabella got a terribly high fever that wouldn't go down. It was her first really high fever, it was stressful, and after talking with a doctor via phone, we brought her to the ER. It was her first trip to the ER and $500 later, they weren't very helpful. When she got high fevers in the future, we … [Read more...]
Get the New Puzzle App that Gives You Actual Prizes for Winning!
This review was made possible by iConnect and EyeCons. I was provided compensation to facilitate this post, but all opinions stated are 100% mine.
