My New Favorite Way to Keep ‘Em Quiet, I Mean Reading
28 Jun | 7 Comments »Playaways are, dare I say, God’s gift to parents.
Seriously.
Last week, we found Playaways at the library and I didn’t hear a peep out of my kids for two hours! I actually read my own book. (And fell asleep on the couch.) Luxurious.
But, I am not a slacker mama. Really! Because Playaways are audio books in a cute little box, accessible with headphones. They’re like an iPod with one book on it. Here’s a picture.
Kid-sized headphones with volume control are a must for playaways. You can get them on Amazon if you’re an internet shopper like me. Here’s my daughter listening to Island of the Blue Dolphins.
Here’s me doing a happy dance.
Okay, it’s not me but it does express my love! Any of you already fans?
Go here to win one of two Playaways of Hoot by Carl Hiaasen.

I LOVE these…for me too!
What do you do with your kids when you’re listening? Do the twins listen to them, too?
Great idea. I love books on CD for long trips, but this is great for other times. Thanks.
I’m going to NEED to try these!!
I’ve never heard of these, and they look wonderful! It turns out that summer is noisy at my house, so I’m off to learn more about these magical quiet-makers! I’m thinking they would be nice for “big” boys when the baby is napping. Thanks!
