Little treasures in our Christmas stocking was a special tradition my mom started with us, and I have continued it with my own children. When I was a kid, we were allowed to open only our stocking gifts until everyone else was awake to open presents together on Christmas day. My kids aren't old enough to truly enjoy this tradition each morning, but my toddler is excited to see what the big man (or woman) leaves in her stocking. Even my littlest ...

Prep & Landing and Naughty vs Nice Review
If you really want to get in the spirit this holiday season, be sure to check out Prep & Landing on DVD and Blu Ray. This movie is a hit with my toddler who is definitely into the holiday spirit and loves to watch elf movies. The fun characters in Prep & Landing had her giggling the entire time, and she asks to watch it almost everyday! Check out the synopsis for both shows below: Prep & Landing On Christmas Eve, a high-tech team ...
Get Them What They Want This Christmas: JumpSport iBounce
Keeping my toddler active in the winter has been a challenge. I don't like the cold weather, and I definitely don't like bundling up. I have tried taking her to the park to get rid of some excess energy on cooler days, and she had complained the entire way to the park that she was cold. I guess the cold weather isn't for her either- but keeping her cooped up in an apartment isn't the best option for us either. I notice on the days that she isn't ...
Melissa and Doug Trunki Giveaway!
Have you ever travelled with a toddler? Along with the necessities and extra sets of clothes, I also have to bring along a bag just for toys- and when I mean bag, I mean those oversize beach bags. We have a beach house that we try to go to at least once a month, even in the winter. I have taken toys out there for her to always have something to play with, but there are some toys from home that she still wants to bring along with her. This ...
Gorgeous Centerpieces for Your Thanksgiving Table
When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, the only thing on my mind is the menu. Since my mother and mother in law have decided that I will be taking over Thanksgiving, it has been a little overwhelming trying to place everyone at the table, as well as not mess up one of the most important dinners of the year. That's a lot of pressure to put on a person! My husband is always the one that thinks about holiday decor, or at least centerpieces. He's ...
Meet Ubooly, The Newest Virtual Friend (And Win One Too!)
We've adopted a new member to our family! Her name is Ubooly and she is now our resident pet! My toddler has been begging me for a cat for some time now, but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to all the needs of a real pet. When Ubooly showed up at our doorstep, I "prepped" my toddler. I told her that Ubooly has needs, just like a "real" pet and must be taken care of. I had already downloaded the Ubooly app for her onto her iPod Touch, and ...
Let eBay Help You Find The Right Gift!
Have you started your holiday shopping yet? I'm just about done, but if it were up to my husband, shopping would not actually take place until December 23rd! I'm not sure what he did before I met him, but I absolutely cannot be a last minute shopper; I start my holiday shopping from December 26th, this way I have an entire year to find the perfect gift for the right person (at a great price!) I know this may sound strange to some, but eBay is ...
