Jubitron the Girl Robot, A Review

The first thing I did when I got my iPad mini, was look for some cute apps for Amelia. Jubitron the Girl Robot is the first one I found, and Amelia loves it! For .99 it has been a huge help at bedtime calming down my cranky little one.

The graphics are cute and interactive. The music is great! Amelia has been digging this app since she was 3 months old, and I can't wait for her to learn how to read so she can read the story to me. There is a 'read to me' option that has the cutest British narrator.

This is Amelia's favorite page, because she can touch the head and make the lightbulb pop out! Again, the music really makes it!

I've been recommending this app to all my friends with children. I hope they make more stories of Jubitron and the gang soon!

You can get your very own copy at the Apple App Store.

The opinions here are my own, and I was not paid to do this review. I just thought this app/story was cute and rad and wanted to share.

Do you have any children's apps you would recommend? Leave a comment, I'd like to check them out!

Around Town: Fragrance of Heaven

I recently visited Cactus Alley where lots of fun businesses have moved in. Walking around the courtyard, Magen from Fragrance of Heaven invited me and my friends into her shop. I am a candle addict, and recently a scensy addict. I love it when my house smells yummy and brings the scents of the season inside.

Magen explained that Fragrance of Heaven is not only a company, but a ministry and house of prayer. Each item in their shop is blessed and prayed over, and a scripture is placed on each item.

They use a paraffin blend wax to give each candle a long burn and great scent. They also have a DIY pour station where you can create your own scents and pour your own candles.

I bought four of the wax blocks to use in my scentsy warmers. So far I've tried the Mommy Time scent, and the Leather (which my husband loved). In my opinion they smell better than any other brands I've tried, and at a great price!

Reading Books: "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)"

Picture 27Amelia decided to take a nap, and I was able to finish this amazingly awesome book. I picked it up at Target one day because everyone was talking about it on Instagram and Twitter. Also, because the cover was cute and hipster-y. Truthfully, I had no idea who Mindy was, but now I want to watch The Office and The Mindy Project (as soon as it's on Netflx, I'm all over it!).

Some of my favorite chapters include, 'The Day I Stopped Eating Cupcakes' and 'Franchises I Would Like To Reboot'. I am all for your Ghostbusters idea Mindy! I also learned a lot about the comedy world, what it would be like to live in LA and New York (which were always dreams of mine growing up), and Irish Exits. I recommended my husband read this book, and I give it as many stars as you're able to give.

So if you've lost your puppy and have been feeling kinda bummed, pick up this book, it's guaranteed to make you feel better and wish Mindy was your BFF.
