WHAM-O Pro Classic Original Frisbee Disc - Review

Today’s review of the product line up celebrating WHAM-O’s 60th anniversary is the WHAM-O Pro Classic Original Frisbee Disc.  Frisbees have been around for over 50 years, and they never get old or boring or out-dated.  They’re inexpensive, easy to use and easy to take wherever you go.

Wigglin’ Water Squirter Hose Sprinkler - Does It Work?

Well, I fell victim to the cool picture on the package of the Wigglin’ Water Squirter Hose sprinkler when I saw it on the shelf at Wal-Mart today.  At just $16.95, I thought I’d give it a try for my triplets’ 4th birthday this summer. 

Here’s my theory - my kids always bump into eachother using […]

Step 2 Naturally Playful Sandbox - The Sand Stays Dry!

I took a long time trying to pick out the right sandbox for my 3-year old triplets.  I didn’t want wood because we live in Florida and bugs are always a concern (especially termites). 
It had to be big enough for three kids, but not too big because my yard isn’t huge.  It had to have […]

Beach Blast Ball for Outdoor Water Fun

Check out the Beach Blast Ball that I found on the BabyCenter store today for children ages 3 and up.  This toy costs $12.95 and is just 18″ in diameter.  Once attached to a garden hose, the ball bounces and squirts water in all different directions.  In fact, kids won’t know where it’s going to bounce […]

Currently, Little Tikes is offering a […]

Holy smokes does this toy look like fun!  I was searching for something unrelated on the Toys ‘R Us website when I spotted the new Teeter Twirl by Troxel Products. 
The Teeter Twirl is intended for kids ages 6 and up.  It’s not just a traditional see-saw.  The Teeter Twirl goes not just up and down, but […]

Bounce House Debate

I’ve been thinking about getting my kids a bounce house for well over a year now.  For their 3rd birthday last summer, we rented one of the huge, heavy-duty bounce houses, and the triplets loved it!  I’ve been torn over whether or not I should have just bought one then or if I should buy […]
