LeapFrog Explorer Camera & Video Recorder Review

My girls love their LeapFrog Explorer and so do I.  They have learned so much through play and though we do try to limit their time playing video games, we are happy to know when they do play they are getting something out of it.  But lets face it, fun is fun and the more fun they can have the happier they are!  Right? And happy kids make a happy mommy! Well when I say that this new addition that we received for the LeapFrog explorer is fun, I mean it is REALLY FUN!  What I'm talking about is the Camera & Video Recorder.  This thing is amazing not only in what it can do but in the quality that it does it.

Save on College Textbooks with Better World Books

My husband and I discuss sending our children to college all the time and we can't imagine how high the prices will be by the time they get there.   We know we have plenty of time to save but the problem is how much do we need to save?   That is something we have no idea about.  And then you need to consider the cost of books.  From what I remember some of them were outragous!  My mother made me buy used books whenever possible, but even they aren't always cheap.
