Ever since Jacob was just a toddler, we’ve come to really love the Laurie Berkner Band. We were first introduced to Laurie on television, as she sang so many songs in between some of Jacob’s favorite shows. Even as adults, Dan and I really liked the music because it wasn’t all “kiddified,” meaning it’s the [...]

Mel’s Thoughts:
Having a cell phone is nice….having a hands-free way to talk on my cell phone is even nicer. I wasn’t the only one excited to review the Jawbone Icon, though; my husband has been using it nonstop, so I get to give you my perspective, as well as his, kind of a dual review.:)
