Angelina Ballerina–A Glossy Review

For those of you who read and have toddler age children you are well aware that a trip to the store, mall, or anywhere where you need to get something accomplished and you forget snacks or something to do for the baby you are setting yourself up for failure.

I have been know to drag my iPad to the store, dentist office or any place where a toddler meltdown is likely. I have downloaded many apps to appease Lil Mama and even Lil Man..at 6 he can get a little antsy too.

I was happy to be given the opportunity to review Angelina Ballerina’s Bubble Pop! game. This is a new app that is available for the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Like I needed anything else to be hooked to, I think I liked the app more than the kids. The goal is to pop bubbles with images in them that match what Angelina is thinking about via a bubble over her head…hope that made sense!

The baby loved it. Of course she was not following the rules just popping bubbles and then she would laugh hysterically…#win. I won’t tell you I got totally off task playing the timed version. Read more about the app below.

iPhone®, and iPod touch® now available in the iTunes App

No Explanation Needed

I tell you one thing that really makes me angry is when I tell people that I don’t work and they come back with the saying…”Must be Nice” with a hint of sarcasm. See, the problem with this is people always look at outward appearances never considering the struggles one might have overcome to be in the place they are now.

Life has dealt everyone last one of us some blows. For some harsher than others but nonetheless we can uniformly agree that struggle escapes no one. In the past I have found myself feeling bad that for once in my life I’m in a good place. An excellent place. A place I thought I would never see as life seemed to beat my arse for what seemed like an eternity but was more like 3 years. Ailing mother, young child, MBA student, struggling marriage..all hats that I wore during this rough period in my life. I never thought things would get better. But they did, I just remember repeating to myself…trouble don’t last always, and holding on to an encouraging word told to me that said “God ALWAYS comes to see about His children… Trust me He does.

Sooo when people come to me with the “It must be nice” I respond, yes its nice to sleep on a pillowtop after sleeping on two twin mattresses pushed together on the floor for two years or,  it’s nice to drive a reliable air conditioned car after driving a car that you had to bucket puddles of water out of when it rained or you had to constantly worry about making it home without breaking down on the side of the road with a small child. Nobody don’t see them struggles though.

Patience, faith and strength got me where I am now and I’m really thinking I don’t owe anybody any kind of explanation regarding where I am in life or how I got here. I paid my dues. So the next time I get a response of that type I think I am just going to say, yes it is. Its real niiiiiiiiiice here in my happy place.

Excuse my rant. *steps off soapbox* *drops mic* *curtsies* *blows kisses* *pageant waves* *skips and whistles* *throws deuces and says Peeeaaaaace in my Gina from Martin voice*
