Turn Off TV... Turn On Stumbleupon!




Monday night there's nothing on TV we really like, so I say we call it a "Stumbleupon" family night!  I mentioned it briefly in my blog yesterday... it's a special search engine taylored to your (or your families) interests, and the more you 'stumble' the better it gets'... Try it!  So last night I stumbled into vaiavanti.com, with 46 very COOL & simple animations, some of which were interactive.  I shared them with my kids (getting a lot of WOWs)... and they loved it!



Yesterday I had boots on my blog from Anthropologie, and today again, beautiful objects that are frozen in a spectacular display!

  1. Wow! never heard of this, but I think I will have to ty it with the kiddies. Sounds fun. :) Plus, how many times can one woman watch Spongebob without hurting someone? Really?!

  2. I am going to have to check this out - we have banished the tv until after the kids are in bed - but we love exploring and checking out new sites. Happy Sits Day!

  6. I like stumbled upon, too. What a great idea for replacing the mind-numbing dumbness on TV.

  9. I recently signed up to StumbleUpon but have to confess I havent' done much stumbling yet. This post makes me want to check it out again - and what a fun idea for a family TV-free night!

    Happy SITS day ;-)
