Nostalgia Toy #8: See ‘n’ Say

Of all the toys that would still be around decades later, who would’ve guessed that the See ‘n’ Say would be one of them? Although, I admit, they have been improved quite a bit over the last many years. When I was little, the toy was operated by pulling on a ring that […]

We are always looking for better ways to organize the toys that we have in the house. Earlier in the year, we were given a toy box with bins on top similar to the ones in the Sesame Street 9 Bin Toy Organizer pictured here. It’s been a great help in our boys’ […]

What’s in Your Diaperbag?

I’m am slowly approaching the final days of being a member of the Diaper Bag Brigade. Not because all my kids are potty-trained, but with only one left in diapers (w00t!), I can often get away with just a couple of diapers and a few wipes in my purse. C’mon now, some of […]

Toys for Outdoor Play

Oooh….it’s fun even writing that title, because it means regular warm weather will soon be here! It was 70 degrees (F) out today!!! Less than a month after our big snowstorm, and the kids would have been good out in shorts today. Of course, there’s a chance of snow again this weekend. […]

Toys from Nico & Zoe

Doesn’t this little bee just “buzzzz” spring to you? I was recently contacted by a co-owner of Nico&Zoe and invited to check out their website where this little bee and several other cute spring critters can be found.

Am I hot stuff, or am I not?

I’ve been nominated for this week’s Hot Stuff Award at GNMParents. The post in question was my mention of Julie Aigner-Clark’s recognition in the State of the Union Address.
While I have nothing against the Baby Einstein products, I can’t honestly say that I’ve ever seen the videos, listened to the CDs, or played […]

A Little People Thanksgiving

I think this Fisher Price Little People Thanksgiving set is just too cute. It’s a thirteen piece set, and includes the adorable pumpkin (sorry, I have a thing for pumpkins).
Really, the last thing we need in our house is more Little People, but my kids do love them. My 3 year old’s favorite […]
