In Ice Age 4: Continental Drift, Scrat’s nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he’s been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences – a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid.  In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.

Perfect gifts With Cafe Press

- brandy3

CafePress has absolutely everything you can think of from iPad cases to t-shirts and bumper stickers. Most of the items you can even customize to make it your own.

Since i have a blogging conference coming up, I have decided to get a t-shirt with my blogging name and url on it.

 

 

I love the way it turned out, but it is a little fitting so I worry about it being to hot. It is just the way I pictured though and you can read it from a far distance which is a must.  Everyone asks me about when I am in public.  I will be wearing it to Blogher 2012 this year and I can’t wait to show it off.

To customize your own t-shirt , please visit here.

 

Disclosure: No formal compensation was received for this post,  a product was received for my review.

- brandy3

Reading Rainbow has a new app. available for the iPad. It is geared for children ages 3-9 an gets them reading for the summer.

 

I loved Reading Rainbow when I was a kid , it was one of my favor shows. Levar Burton always had my brothers and I reading and following along.  Now that the show is gone,  want my children to have that same great experience. Luckily Reading Rainbow just came out with a new app.The app features a library of books to fit your child’s interests, video field trips to meet people and places.   The best part is it’s all hosted by LeVar Burton.

You can select a single book and view introductory videos for free, but for unlimited access it will cost $9.99 a month or $29.99 for a six month subscription.

My daughter loved reading along with the books she chose, The Rainbow Mystery.  It was an exciting and creative book.   Her favorite is the stickers you earn and can place in the story.

 

Disclosure: no compensation was received for this post, I was entered into a contest with Team Mom for posting.
