Do you have kids? You need to know what is up with Minecraft

-
Minecraft is a super popular video game for the preteen and teenage gamer.   As with any video game we always recommend that parents check it out before letting their kid get into it.  It is also a good idea for parents to know about the popular games because oftentimes kids will play these games together when they are visiting other friend's houses.  

Keeping up with all of this can be a challenge.  That is why we love our friends at Family Gamer TV on YouTube.

New Official Minecraft Books Penned by the Minecraft Community
guest post by: Andy Robertson

 Although the books are due to be released until early April, it seems some retailers will be getting theirs early so keep your eyes peeled in store (and soon after on eBay).

Family Gamer TV have had exclusive access to the new Egmont Minecraft guides. Perhaps most surprising here is how they engaged the community for content. The likes of Fyreuk were consulted for building projects – The Minecraft Construction Handbook was written by Matthew Needler and Phil Southam of FyreUK. Also mentioned are builds by Salmon77, halfdemonanbu, sir_beret, geroom nefashus, Heaven_Lord, CrespoChimp and iHDVibeZz.
Sarah Bates, Publishing Director for licensed character books at Egmont UK, commented: “Egmont is committed to engaging Minecraft fans through truly must-have content, created in partnership with brand owners, Mojang; and superfans from the Minecraft community. We are committed to bringing real innovation to market and our 2014 book programme will not disappoint; providing the Minecraft community with unique formats and engaging reading experiences every bit as awesome as the game itself.”

The official Minecraft Construction Handbook is packed with tips and step-by-step instructions from master build team FyreUK. There’s nothing that can’t be built in Minecraft, but with so many possibilities, it’s hard to know where to start. Readers can study how to construct houses, bridges, ships, floating islands and rollercoasters of the highest quality.

Phil and Matt, FyreUK, contributors to the Minecraft Constuction Handbook said: “We’ve had an awesome time working on this book – we’re passionate about sharing Minecraft techniques and builds, whether through our YouTube videos or the Egmont books. We’ve worked on step-by-step guides for the Construction Handbook, detailing how to create some of the most amazing things in Minecraft. From multi-story houses, to bridges and much, much more, readers can learn techniques used by some of the best builders in Minecraft.”

Holiday Season

-
 We're back. But more on that later! This year's holiday season is upon us and with everything going on in the world we have to get a little more creative to bring the sparkle for our little ones. This year is a great year to get back to making holiday chains out of recycled paper and a little scotch tape and spending more time snuggling and less time stressing. With holiday budgets having to be watched a little more closely every penny counts when making your holiday purchasing decisions. One of my favorite holiday traditions is the advent calendar . The only reason I am bringing this one up so early - it's not even Thanksgiving yet! - is it's important to start your Advent calendar on the first day of December. That means a little planning ahead. The advent calendar gives our family a chance to all come together and at least once a day talk about the real meaning of the season and at the same time getting a little surprise each and every day. One of our family's f

Guest Post by:  Jana Free Moms want the best for their kids. They want their children to feel good and to be  happy. They want them with smiles on their faces and joy in their heart. As a mom, do you often wonder if there is some kind of magic object that you  can pull out of a hat, or a magic spell you could cast, to create this perfect  scenario? I’m pretty sure there’s no object or spell, but I do know that a healthy  environment is like a magic wand that can keep kids’ eyes bright and their bodies  full of good energy. How do we moms create a healthy environment for our kids? We focus on  keeping physical spaces clean and we do more. We make sure that each aspect  of our kids’ lives is as free from toxins as we can get it. Which means we look at  the food we eat as well as the attitude we keep. The following are 5 tips for creating a healthy environment for kids. 1. Model Good Food Choices Children usually eat what they’re served and what they see others eating. As

Summer Book Club for all ages

It almost seems incredible but I have heard people say to me "I just don't have time to read". That is the precise reason a person must read! And for those of you who have caught yourself saying that then make your first book one on time management. YES! We do have time to read. When our kids are very little we must read to them. The more we read to them the more they will grow up loving books. Kids love books that they can grab ahold of and turn the pages and look at the silly pictures even before they have a sense that there are words on those pages. But the more we read to them the more they figure it out. And when you have little kids like this in your house it might seem like you don't have time to read but you don't always have to read baby books to them. There was a great scene in the movie Three Men and a Baby where Tom Selleck's character was reading Sports Illustrated or some other grownup magazine to the baby. It didn't matter what th
