I'm a full-time mummy

I am always on the lookout for products that my family and I can use around the house or when we go for our outings, so when I stumbled upon this product, I emailed to ask whether they are OK with international bloggers reviewing their products, and my oh my, they are happy to provide me their products for my review! So here goes my review for the "The Mommy Hook":

Description from the product page:
"You’ll be totally hooked on our indispensable mommy accessory. Built to last, lightweight and versatile, The Mommy Hook fits virtually all stroller handles. Use The Mommy Hook on your stroller or shopping cart to hold diaper bags, shopping bags, camera bags, groceries, toys, purses, and much more. You can also use The Mommy Hook to carry items from your car to your home. "

As mentioned earlier, the reason why I requested to review The Mommy Hook is because I feel it can really help when I have lots of things to carry around when we are out and about!

When I first received the item, my first impression of it is: "Strong stuff!" It is quite heavy to be honest and after checking out every nook and corner of The Mommy Hook, I can assure you it is made of good and sturdy materials which WILL be able to hold loads of stuff at one go!

I managed to use this product on several occasions but sadly the pictures taken are not clear or close-up enough as I was busy carrying my baby girl and not able to snap the pictures fast enough!

Pictures below taken in a hurry showing how I hook The Mommy Hook onto my baby's stroller (ready to use anytime!) and how my brother in law used it to carry ours and his stuff around.

This is a good product to be considered if you always have a lot of heavy things to carry around when you are out (like grocery shopping and so on) and you can just hook it onto your stroller so that it is ready to use at any time!

I came across this image software and decided to request for a review copy of the full software as I like the idea of being able to turn the tons and tons of pictures I took of my 2 kids EVERY DAY, and make it into a nice collage - you know, just adding a hint of creativity and touch and the pictures somehow looks awesome-r! Anyway, long story short, here goes my review for "CollageIt":

Description about the product:
"CollageIt is a most easy-to-use collage maker which allows individuals to make photo collages on Mac and Windows automatically in minutes with just a few clicks. Whether to a casual user or professional photographer, one can easily and quickly master it. With CollageIt, people can share photos with friends and families in a unique way.

CollageIt assists users in recording beautiful moment in the easiest way. It has the following key features:
- Automatic, Easy to Use and Powerful.
- Various Collage Templates to Choose.
- Customize Photo Collages Freely.
- Share the Collage Anywhere."

This is a very user-friendly software. You can just play around with the options for a few minutes and able to grasp the navigation and features available in it. It took me just a few minutes to figure out how to use this software and I really enjoy playing around with the pictures and putting them into a nice looking collage!

I like the following features in this software: Auto Rotate, Random Layout (where the software randomly assigns the images layout for me)

In the Export feature, you can actually export out the image to 7 different types (such as JPG, GIF, PNG, etc) though of course you need to select the image type one at a time, you can also send the image out as email, set it as wallpaper and so on.

I also like the feature where we can set the photo frame as well but I did not use this feature in my review here. Take a look at my sample collage and tell me what you think!

This is the 2nd app I get to review from Playtend in my search to get more educational preschool apps for Ben. In case you want to find out what is the first app, you can checkout my review on ABC 123 Blocks post. Anyway, my review as below...

* Title: Counting Ants
* Price: $1.99
* Category: Education
* Updated: Mar 20, 2012
* Version: 2.0
* Size: 14.8 MB
* Language: English
* Seller: Playtend Apps LLP
* Rated: 4+
* Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.Requires iOS 4.0 or later.

Description from the product page:

"Counting Ants is a great app for early learning - perhaps the best way to help your toddler practice counting to ten on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. It's also a great way to introduce your kids to a foreign language. This app features adorable ants that zip around in their cars, while teaching kids the basics of counting in 10 languages. The app automatically rotates through five minigames to keep your toddler engaged while they learn to count.

Minigames include:
* Count the ducks
* Count the fish
* Count the fruit
* Count the train cars
* Find the number

The minigames and toddler-friendly interface make learning incredibly easy and fun. The scenes are fully interactive and simple for young children to control even if they don't yet know how to read."

What's good?

* It is engaging and interactive and I love the cute illustrations!

* I love the minigames as I think it definitely keeps the attention and interests since there are many different scenes to look at and played with.

* Ben enjoys this game as it has cars and trains in it (boyish genre, yes!) and this app will definitely be used again and again!

Room for Improvement?

* I would prefer if the number 7 is redesigned as it currently looks kind of like the number 1. My boy gets confused at times when he tries to look for these 2 numbers.

You can purchase the " Counting Ants " app from the iTunes App Store.
