Apps are the new video games but that doesn't mean they have to be endless hours of staring at a screen. My girls both get some screen time on their iPads, but they apps they play are generally educational and something I feel would be worthwhile to their development. My oldest daughter is harder to please and the games she plays has to hold her interest. When I told her she can play a game about a farting bug, she was a little surprised, "You ...

Keeping The Magic Alive This Season With @PNPSanta!
Regardless of what you believe in, it's hard to deny the magic of the holiday season.

Finding age appropriate apps for iOS devices isn't really that difficult, but finding educational apps that actually hold my daughters' attention can sometimes be a challenge.
