The Cure For Placenta Brain?
Everyone I know who’s ever been pregnant has experienced preggo-brain to some extent. Sadly, it only gets worse once the kid is out. My brain hasn’t been the same since conception, quite frankly.
As with any other part of our bodies, our brains need exercise. The sudoku craze has to be doing something great for our species, but what do you do if you aren’t a fan? Or can’t figure the damn things out?
Check out Brainiversity. It’s one of the best brain training games I’ve tried to date. Edison the talking light bulb accompanies you as you play, and he can be muted at any time (which can be a very good thing). There are a huge variety of games to play and more are unlocked as you progress. If you play daily, you’ll take a quiz each day composed of 4 tests which is recorded on your personal graph.
Many games in this genre are ridiculously easy for the intelligent among us (ahem) but this one is neither simple nor repetitive. It’s incredibly enjoyable, actually. It would be too easy for advanced brain trainers, but for kids, the average adult (particularly those with kids) or seniors, Brainiversity is fabulous! We talk a lot about baby shower gifts here, but I think this would make an awesome retirement gift.
Buy it for less than $20 at Amazon.
Win it! We’ve got a copy of Brainiversity to give away. To enter, leave a comment on this post by 11:59 mst tonight – August 7/08.
Additional entries available – up to four per person. See contest entry information and rules.

I’ve said for years that parenthood kills braincells so fast, you can almost see them flake away! When they were very little, it seemed the most intellectual thing I got to read was Dr. Seuss. Then I got cancer. “Chemo brain” is real! (I’m fine now, but the brain can always use a push.)
August 7th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Thank you so much for an awesome giveaway. I appreciate it.

I have noticed an increasing sluggishness of my cerebral tissue as I creep toward my 50th birthday. Perhaps some exercise is in order.

Wow! I sure could use a copy of that game! I’m home with a sick 3 yr old and my co-workers have called 4 times about things I was supposed to have done on Tuesday but had forgotten… Normally not a big deal ’cause I would just do it when I was triggered to rememeber, but they didn’t know how to do those things.

Oh, neat-o! My mom and I were just recently talking about how we’d like to have a game like this to sharpen our skills. :0) It’s true; sometimes I do feel like a classic victim of “Mommy Brain.”

I have been looking for a brain training game, but haven’t found one I like yet. This one sounds great and seems very affordable. I need all the help I can get, since I’ve had my son in February, my memory has definitely deteriorated!
August 7th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Looks like a great game. I’m addicted to brain-training games, which might not be exceptionally healthy, but isn’t a bad vice.
August 7th, 2008 at 11:28 am
I love challenges, especially of the math variety
August 7th, 2008 at 11:42 am
I would love to win this game! I tend to hate computer games because of the monotony but since you said it’s non-repetitive I’d love to give it a try.
