World Series of Yahtzee (Giveaway)
YAHTZEE!!! Do you remember that phrase? It's when you score a straight roll in the beloved game, Yahtzee (of course!) This was and still is my favorite game of all time. I guess what drew me in to Yahtzee in the first place was its resemblance to poker. I remember one summer when I was young, my neighbor taught a few kids in the neighborhood how to play poker. In retrospect, he was bored and needed something to do. It's amazing what you can teach ...
Two of Her Favorite Things: Play Doh and Princesses!
I swore up and down it wouldn't happen. MY daughters would not fall into the "princess" trap! I was a tomboy growing up and didn't want to look at the color pink until I found out my first was a little girl. Things quickly changed as she became my little princess and everything around me turned pink. Now, I seek out things I know she will like, and anything pink or princess always catches my eye. For my toddler, nothing is better than Play Doh, ...
Toys For Musically Inclined Babies
I'm not sure if it is all children, but my kids have been musically inclined from the time they were about 4 months old. Even in their earlier days, they loved the sound of music and could instantly be soothed by humming or lullabies. As they got older, both my girls started "dancing" as soon as they learned to hold their head up and sit on their own. They would sway from side to side each time music came on. My 10 month old, who can't walk yet, ...
Glow Crazy Doodle Dome Review and Giveaway
When we moved into our new house I literally had all the kids toys packed up into boxes. As much as I want my kids to be playing quietly with their toys I just had other priorities for unpacking.....kitchen stuff, bathrooms, clothes, etc. So, I kept paper, markers, and crayons out on the kitchen table and the kids did lots of drawing and crafts while we were getting settled. Then one weekend we had a play date with a friend the kids have ...
Twister Rave Skip it and Twister Rave Rings Review & Giveaway
On of my favorite outdoor toys growing up was Skip-It. I actually remember bringing in my Skip It for a first grade show and tell project! Skip it was like playing jump rope with only one player as you twirl the ball around your legs and jump over it. There was also a little counter on the ball itself, so you could try to beat your old score or play against others. Just like all the other old school toys out there, Skip It has a new look! Two ...
Interview with Jenelle Manzi and Barbie in the Pink Shoes Ballerina Giveaway!
My little girl has started her first ballet classes and was so excited to learn the moves she sees in some of her favorite TV shows. I was a little apprehensive about letting her start ballet: Would she listen to the instructor? Would she enjoy it? What if she got hurt? Will my clumsy toddler be discouraged that she's not as graceful as others? My fears were erased her first day of class when she came running out of her lesson with her pink tutu ...
Puppet Monsters Review (#Giveaway)
When I have the TV on I always dread the commercials. I'm constantly hearing, “Mommy I want thaaaaaat!” or “Mommy.....can you get that for me?”. Once, my 3 year-old actually asked me to buy him a professional picture hanging system. I tried to explain that this commercial wasn't for a toy but he wasn't convinced. So, when my boys saw the commercial for Puppet Monsters I was happy they were interested in something age appropriate and ...
