Shit My Kids Ruined – Kids will be kids, and this is particularly true for the chaotic, draw-on-everything, spill-whatever-is-in-your-hands, phase young children are known for. Julie Haas Brophy woke up one morning to find out her little boy spilled a can of black paint all over her living room carpet. She posted photos of the mess on Facebook and she got reactions from all over. The next morning Julie decided to make an actual documentary-like blog of such mishaps in the house caused by her kids, husband and dog.
The result is Shit My Kids Ruined (or SMKR for short). Be sure to check out the shitmykidsruined.com domain in the future since the tumblr site might become obsolete sometime in the future. See some photos below of what it’s like in Julie’s house. I admire great projects that started out as an ordeal, and Julie has turned what other mothers would consider a continual disaster into a hilarious and fun thing. Go Julie! By the way, SMKR was also a Weekly Blog on our Blogs page, and users all over flocked to her site – she scored very high on popularity. Therefore SMKR made it to the Weekly Faves lineup.
MeeGenius – I just love children’s classic books; they’re filled with charm, nostalgia and that fleeting innocence of childhood. Reading bed time stories the old fashioned way is always the best, but using today’s technology is but a natural change to the sweet parent-child bedtime activity. MeeGenius offers bedtime stories of classic kids books with a really cool twist: personalization. Change the characters and locations’ name to any of your choosing and make the old classic a refreshing yet just as effective story before bed.
I took MeeGenius for a test drive, using the customization option for the Jemima Puddle Duck story. See the screen shot below to see my changes. I just love how you can add your personal touch without altering the story’s overall experience. Although customizing certain books costs $, many of the classic books we all know and love are free! So this really is a must stop for parents, grandparents and other family relatives who want to make the well-known classic story a special one. By the Way, if you’re looking for more children’s books resources, check out the Books faveline on our Kids page.
