My friend Maricar alerted me this morning about the Aqua Dots recall. I also heard about it on the radio while I was dropping my kids off at school. This is very serious and you need to remove them from your home asap and out of your children’s reach.

How cute would this little Webkinz reindeer look under the tree? This is one of Amazon’s hot toys right now.

Everyone is coming out with top toy lists right now. It’s hard to keep up, but I love to see which toys made the cut and which ones didn’t.
