Despite the fact I’m familiar with many of the cutting-edge social media technologies, I am often hesitant to adopt them because I’m already too busy with blogging, Twitter, Facebook and my iPhone.

And believe me, that’s really saying something.
I’ve gone from being a bored cook to being [...]

And I ain’t talking diapers for the baby.

**CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER MEGAN MESTAS!**
VTech Toys have come a long way since my kids were born. Their first “computer” was VTech’s Tote & Go Laptop that they still enjoy several years later.
