Holiday Recommendations: Don’t Forget the Batteries
Every year I remember at the last minute (except this year) to pick up a large variety of batteries as there is always a toy or electronic of some sort that I don’t expect to need batteries. Energizer has just the solution to help you get a jump start on the holidays — batteries for the gifts and a free online movie on demand rental to help with the relaxation.

Holiday Recommendation: Build A Bear Pets or Gift Cards
Every year I think my daughter might have outgrown Build A Bear, but every year she still loves them (and I have to admit this makes me happy). So every year she gets a trip to Build A Bear for her birthday, and Santa usually leaves her a gift card for Christmas so she can plan her own trip some other time during the year. Some trips she chooses to just buy new clothes and … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendation: Zillionz Talking Cash Register
As I have mentioned before, I’m all about imaginative play (versus sitting in front of the television or a game system). My daughter is probably considered too old for many of her toys by others, but because I’ve always encouraged creative play, I think she still enjoys many toys that require her imagination that other tweens wouldn’t look twice at if they were making a wish list. She loves to play kitchen and shopping when her … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendation: Zillionz Counting Money Jar
My daughter is a piggy bank fanatic. She has three different Disney banks, 2 pigs, a Tootsie roll bank, and a few others. She spreads out her change in each of her banks as well. So I’ve decided to add to her collection this year with an electronic Money jar the Zillionz Counting Money Jar which will count the money as she puts in in the jar. About the Counting Money Jar: Slip your coins into the … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendations: Backyard Safari Butterfly Habit
When my daughter was in the 4th grade, they learned the life cycle of a butterfly and the entire class raised butterflies. This is something that has stuck in her head for another year. She frequently talks about butterflies, catepillars, or some other lesson she learned during this unit, so I thought this would make a great holiday gift this year and recommend it for the hard to shop for or curious tween on your … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendation: CAT Toys
When my daughter found out she was having a boy, I have to admit that I was a little scared. I only had daughters. I didn’t know what to buy for a little boy? And boy clothes…well, they just weren’t what had caught my eye in the store – ever! It didn’t take many trips through the boy clothes and down the toy aisles though until I had adjusted and looked forward to spoiling that … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendation: B Kids Toys
We have two brand new babies in the family and another that was born in May so I have been on the hunt for the last six months or so for the best baby products out there. With Christmas approaching, I have to admit to looking closely at toys because every baby needs to receive tons of toys for Christmas right? But baby toys are something I’m picky about. I want safe, and I want … Read entire article »

Holiday Recommendation: Zhu-Fari Fun #Giveaway

Cameron has 6 different hamsters and more accessories than I could count, and when the Zhu-Fari package arrived she was as excited as she is on Christmas morning. Thanks to a special … Read entire article »

Hot Stocking Stuffer: FyrFlyz
My daughter is really bad about the “I want that” for every commercial with anything geared towards her age, and this time of year, the companies are doing some major promotion on television. There are always the big things – this year it’s a new iPod Touch and a Kindle Touch., and it’s usually pretty easily for me to decide what I’ll buy off of her big lists, but then there’s all the small things. … Read entire article »

Fun Toys with a World Vision
My daughter is almost out of the doll stage, but occasionally one comes around that she still “has to have.” When I learned about Trash Can Kidz, I thought this is one that she’d love, and I’d love to promote as TrashCanKidz.com contributes 20% of all revenues received to improving the lives of the abandoned children in the world. Many companies are generous, but not many are this generous. So we signed up to be … Read entire article »

Hexbug Nano Zombie Bugs A Big Hit!
My daughter was super excited when she found out we had been selected to host a HexBug Nano Halloween Zombie party. This was the second time we had been given the chance to review Hexbugs, and she knew her friends would love to come over and play with the Hexbugs. Even though it was a Halloween themed party, we had ours this past weekend as there are many community Halloween events planned for next weekend, and … Read entire article »
