Family Night at the Movies: Iron Man 2
So I took the family to watch Iron Man 2 this weekend. My wife scored a slick deal on some movie tickets but we still managed to spend a ridiculous amount of money at the snackbar.

Some new experiences at the SDCC San Diego Comic Con – Review
We got home from San Diego late last night and I was extremely exhausted.

Toy Review: DC Super Friends My First Batmobile
My first toy review will be the DC Super Friends My First Batmobile. Although this isn't my son Logan's first batmobile, it is the first batmobile out of it's original factory-sealed packaging that he can actually play with. This toy is meant for ages 3 and up but my soon to be two year old loves playing with it. Out of →
