As a big Webkinz fan, I’ve recently joined their eStore’s new Deluxe membership program.  I purchased the full year membership for one account.  Making this purchase was somewhat confusing and extremely slow, but I suspect both of these things will be worked over the next few days.  What is the Deluxe membership?  Basically you purchase [...]

This is such an exciting year for my family; Super Star Trek Sunday and Groundhog Day are back-to-back!  We spent yesterday watching Star Trek, playing Star Trek games, doing a Starfleet Academy Training Course, doing Star Trek trivia questions, eating Star Trek inspired foods, and most of all: enjoying the company of our friends who [...]

While Arizona does get snow (quite a lot in the mountains — especially in the north part of the state), here in the lower altitudes of southern Arizona snow is a rare thing.  To liven up our living space and to make the place feel more wintery, we’ve made snowflakes out of coffee filters.  They [...]

When I logged in on Webkinz late Tuesday evening (on December 2, 2008), my new manatee (named Florida) and I saw that all of my outdoor rooms had been snowed upon.  This was quite fun for me since the days here in southern Arizona have been in the high 80Fs lately.
To see 2007’s Webkinz snowfall, [...]

For my younger daughter’s 8th birthday, she decided to have a Webkinz themed party as a Girl Scout meeting. We had a 2.5 hour block scheduled and a lot of party to put in that time period, so we planned it all out on poster board much like the Webkinz “Daily Events” schedule.
When each [...]

My kids love 3-D things. They’ve been having a lot of fun with Neave Anaglyph. It’s a website where you can “doodle in 3D”. Put on your 3D glasses and have some fun!

My family and I (two daughters, ages 11.5 and 7.5) have been able to play with a variety of virtual pets over the past year and we’ve compared them side-by-side. The ones we’ve tried are: Webkinz, Shining Stars, Ty Beanie Babies 2.0, My ePets, and Ty Girlz. If any other company would [...]
