Reviewing Toys That Help Your Children Grow
The traveling season is upon us and whether we are leaving for a weekend or a week, Gavin always has his bag of toys and games. It can sometimes be a challenge to pack a lot of fun into only 1 bag though, and in all honesty, I never bring many of his absolute favorite [...]
As a multi-tasking adult, my iPhone 4S is the biggest and most expensive toy that I have. Given that I have a 2-year-old and work with kids throughout the school day, often handing over my iPhone to access educational apps, many parents have cringed as I have freely passed over this expensive device without any [...]
I was recently picked to be one of the Coopertone Water MOMS! This program enlists parents and bloggers nationwide to not only spread the name of the Coppertone brand,but learn and share some basic fasts about sun safety. Though it hasn’t been all that warm here in the NorthEast to apply much sunscreen yet, no [...]
Learning the letters of the alphabet can be difficult for some and easy for others. Some kids love letters, while others want nothing to do with them, leaving their parents angered and frustrated on how they are going to master this critical life skill for reading and writing. Many parents often tell me how their [...]
Have you thought about buying LEGO’s for your child or as a gift? I can’t believe how many kids love to construct with LEGO’s. I said it before when I reviewed the LEGO Duplo Creative Sorter, my son sits with my LEGO media kit binder, flipping through it like it’s the Bible, consuming every picture, [...]
Have you tried the Chobani Champions greek yogurt for kids yet? Gavin and I have been buying this by the case at BJ’s Wholesale for months. He loves it and I love how much protein it offers in 1 serving (around 8 grams in a 3.5 ounce cup). There are 4 kid-friendly flavors that include [...]
Now that the weather is warmer, we’ve been spending a lot of time outside. Gavin is now 2 and not only does he enjoy riding his balance bike and pushing his cars around the yard, we’ve blown through all our bubbles and have now expanded into the world of sidewalk chalk. We’ve been testing out [...]
Last year at BlogHer 2011 in San Diego, I received my most recent pair of comfort insoles from Dr. Scholls. I have had flat feet since I was a child. I remember my parents bringing every pair of shoe I owned, including soccer cleats, to the cobbler in town for an arch support to be glued [...]
These days it never ceases to amaze me how quickly my 2-year-old navigates our iPad 2. We’ve created a folder for him with all of the apps appropriate for his age, and he can already flip through multiple pages to locate it. I also can’t believe how “in-tune” he is to the icons on the [...]
I wasn’t sure what the kids at school would think of the new BOP IT! XT game from Hasbro. If you aren’t familiar with the BOP IT line of games, it is essentially a handheld gaming device that shouts out directions pretty much at rapid fire. As the player you are responsible to follow all [...]
So my husband just showed me the link to the video of Alicia Silverstone feeding her son by chewing up the food in her mouth first, then feeding it to him, mouth-to-mouth style like a bird. He knew it would send me to the moon. Though I can’t fault her if she feels some connection [...]
A few years ago, I remember walking the aisles of Target, and there at the end of the row was a giant horse toy, Butterscotch, who was literally a life size pony. This year in Fall 2012, Hasbro, again as part of the Furreal Friends line, is launching Baby Butterscotch. This smaller version is a [...]
Are you looking for some new easter basket ideas? Busytown Mysteries is a favorite show of my son, which happens to be based on the popular Richard Scarry books that were originally published from the 1960′s. We are running a contest at ToyQueen for some Richard Scarry Busytown toys that you can receive in time [...]
At Toy Fair this year, for the first time, we met with Adora Dolls. Adora dolls include some of the most beautifully handcrafted baby dolls that for boys and girls of all ages and races. The video highlights some of the different types of Adora dolls including the new Adora Giggle Time baby doll who [...]
