Disclosure: Playsets provided for review. All opinions are my own I’m so fortunate to have two sets of grandparents my kids can go to when I’m in need of a sitter. Whether it’s my mom or my mother in law, the kids always have someone they are comfortable with to watch them when I’m working or when hubby and I have a date night. With three kids, you can imagine how quick toys pile up, not just at home but also at grandma’s house. Both sets of ...

A Playmobil Set That’s Out of this World!
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are our own. All of a sudden my little guy is obsessed with all things outer space. I can't remember how this obsession started, but we are now swimming in all things outer space. He can even tell us all the planets based on what they look like, and I think that's pretty impressive because even after a year of astronomy classes I can't do that! It was only fitting that when Playmobil ...
Camp American Girl Is the Perfect set for Summer Fun
Disclosure: I received products in exchange for inclusion. All opinions and experiences are my own. It's a shock that we haven't been to the American Girl Store, considering it's pretty close to our home in NYC. My girls have asked to go a few times, but timing just hasn't worked out. I even tried to plan a girl scout trip to the American Girl store in the city, but it just didn't pan out. Luckily, we don't have to actually visit the store ...
Getting to know Bumblebee
Disclosure: My family received a Bumblebee themed gift pack in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. I clearly remember sneaking into my brother's room when we were kids to play with his Transformers. I didn't know their names, but I remember the blue and yellow transformers being my favorite at that time. Fast forward decades later and I have a little boy of my own who not only loves Tranformers toys, but couldn't wait to see the ...
We’ve Opened Up a Pet Hotel with Playmobil!
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions and experiences are my own. Pretend play is at the top of our favorite family things to do. I love watching my preschooler and 1st grader come up with scenarios and story lines with their toys, and how they combine toys to make their story realistic. They have quite a few Playmobil sets, and received the latest Playmobil Tiny Paws Pet Hotel to check out recently. This Playmobil set ...
We Built a Cannon In Our Living Room!
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Klutz Maker Lab. All opinions and experiences are our own. Getting my girls interested in STEM activities isn't usually a challenge. Many of their toys are , and their school is always incorporating science and technology in their lessons. The one thing I have noticed, however, is their inability to focus on a project long enough to see the final outcome. Living in a world where everything is at our ...
Trading in Halloween Candy for Toys with Playmobil
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. A few years ago we had a surprise visitor in October. The Switch Witch graced us with her presence and brought a storybook to explain that her realm is in desperate need of candy. You see, in the Halloween world, candy is used to power everything from lights to water heaters. Without candy, our Switch Witch wouldn't have electricity. So, she asked our kids to compile as much ...
We found and awesome Flexible Racing Track System!
Over the past 3 years our playroom has transformed from all pink, purple, sparkly princessy things to more superhero, trucks, cars, and more brute toys. My girls are growing up and their tastes are changing as they are discovering who they are as individuals, but they are also excited about the toys their little brother is naturally drawn to. While my son loves marrying Barbie to Spiderman, he also has a fascination with racing, trains, and ...
