The Galaxy S7 Edge comes out tomorrow. Ever since I saw the Samsung event annouceing this new phone I have been looking forward to it. I wasn’t quite sure if I should wait to see if it would be coming to me from the Imagelogger program, but when I saw that I’d get a free Gear VR as well then I jumped and pre-ordered it. Then I went to the Verizon store to turn in one of my existing phones (I have a bunch from review) and get some credits. So that will cover my change to the new phone.

After my trip to The Verizon store I popped in to Toys R Us and saw that they had some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Sprukits on clearance. The price was excellent and I am looking forward to making some videos of me assembling those TMNT Sprukits. Those were great looking kits and when I saw them at Toy Fair I really wanted to get them. I’d like to see them make even better level 2 or 3 figures.

When I got home I found a nice big box from the #PlayLikeHasbro program that I am part of. The box contained some My Little Pony Equestria Girls Minis, Mr. Potato Head Bumblebee, Transformers and some Titan Series figures like Iron Man and Rey from A Force Awakens.

Oh yeah, and you may have noticed that I got a haircut.

Review: Samsung Kids and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite

We received a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite loaded with the kid’s program Samsung Kids. The opinions expressed about the device and the Samsung Kids program are 100% our own.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite

We’ve had the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite for just over a month and the kids love it. As a parent who wants to be able to control how much and what my kids see during their screen time the parental controls of Samsung Kids is such a great option. The device has a special soft durable bumper case that is excellent for kids’ hands. That bumper case also provides a non-slip grip for the kids as they enjoy their games and books.

The Apps that are part of Samsung Kids are plentiful. There are so many games and books available to the kids. They are based on the kids’ ages, too. So Eva can enjoy those for her while Andrew can play younger ones. With them both accessing the same tablet it is nice for each of the kids to have their own space. The kids can both sign in to their own account and as a parent I can assign time limits for each of the children not only for the games but also a separate time limit for books. Maybe I want them to focus less on games this week so I set them up to have longer book time. That gives me greater flexibility on what I can allow them to use. If they do well in school or finish chores then they can be rewarded with extra game time. If they need to focus more on learning then I can give them more book time.
