Something special happened this past spring: my toddler became a big sister. She has an amazing bond with her little sister and even though she's only 5 months, they love giggling and playing together. It is no wonder that the latest Disney Fairies movie: Secret of the Wings is now my tot's favorite movie. We received it last week as a special sneak-peek review and we have watched it everyday, and on some rainy days even TWICE a day! I generally ...

Laser Pegs 6 in 1 Lighted Construction Set
Yesterday we celebrated my younger son's 3rd birthday. As expected his 4-year old brother was somewhat jealous of all the beautifully wrapped packages sitting there just waiting to be opened. Thankfully, my parents always buy gifts for both of the boys for each birthday, so they both have a few new toys to open. I also had something for him to open....a Laser Pegs 6 in 1 Lighted Construction Set. This toy is for ages 5 and up so my husband sat ...
The Kids Gotta Have Those Mungi Bands
When I picked my boys up from school today I had a few Mungi Bands wrapped around my wrist. I was waiting to see how long it would take for them to notice them. Not long. But to my surprise a few of the other mommies noticed them as well! I explained that Mungi Bands are magnetic bands that were invented by a Dad as the new social network for kids to connect and collect. They form chains from hair bands to bracelets to express the mood of the ...

VTech Switch & Go Dinos (plus a chance to win a kid’s lifetime supply of toys!)
Everyone knows the old saying "boys and their toys!" Little boys seem to be attracted to the big, bright toys that read "destruction" all over them. When I was younger, I remember playing with my older brother's transformers and got a kick out of them being able to transform from a robot to a vehicle. We had hours of fun changing them up and using them in various role playing games. Today's kid is no different. They get bored easy and need ...
Safe Play Time with CUBIKALS {Giveaway}
Keeping baby safe isn't only for sleep time or travel time, it is also during PLAY TIME! Now that I have an infant that is becoming more mobile by the minute and insists on tasting everything, I am more conscious about which toys my toddler plays with. Toys for older children tend to have smaller parts which make them a choking hazard., so I tend to be wary when purchasing these types of toys. While my toddler is 3 years more advanced than my ...
Peppa Pig Toys Hit Stores!
There are very few shows that actually catch my toddler's attention for longer than 5 minutes, and Peppa Pig is one of them! From the minute she hears the theme song, until the end of the show, her eyes are glued to Peppa and her brother George. My toddler has even asked for Peppa Pig toys, but I wasn't able to find anything available- probably because it was not originally a US based show. Peppa Pig takes place in England, so the characters ...
Touch Magic Toys by LeapFrog!
My tot and her friends needed some indoor-fun playdates for a good part of the summer because it has just been too hot to get out and enjoy the park. It has been a while since she has seen many of her friends since vacation schedules didn't make playdates easy to plan, but now that everyone is back we are starting to get back into the swing of things. Any mom can tell you that keeping your child home is not a great idea because they get bored ...
