Why We Love Popsical Remix – A Review
Perfect for Family Bonding "Are you sure?" I asked my hubby as he was setting up the system he brought home to surprise me and the kids. "This small round thing is a KARAOKE system?"

We are not complaining but when we do have special occasions to commemorate, we want to ensure that with whatever little time we have, we get the most memorable experience as a family. Last month, for Angie’s birthday which falls on Mothers' Day, I was exactly looking for that – to pamper my wife who often holds the fort at home, with a luxurious hotel … [Read more...]
