5 Halloween Class Treat Ideas

October 9th, 2008

Since there’s only a few weeks left before Halloween I figured I better start thinking about what kind of treats to give my daughter’s Kindergarten class.  I’ve found a number of great links while surfing the web and thought I’d share it with the other busy moms out there.  We’ll be taking a trip to […]

Toy Review: SeaPals

September 29th, 2008

We recently received a Flame Angelfish SeaPals for my son and he was thrilled (partly because it was a fish, and partly because, well, it was a toy).  If you haven’t seen them in the stores lately, SeaPals is a line of web-interactive plush sea creatures that is perfect for the budding marine biologist.  […]

I Spy Private Eye: A great game for kids

September 25th, 2008

Since Karen and I are big-time bloggers now… (Sorry, I had to stop laughing.  You are allowed to join in or throw up in your mouth right now.) we recently received an I Spy Private Eye game from Briarpatch to try out with the kids.  I was familiar with the I Spy books, but had […]

How do you keep a kid entertained for hours? Try Crazy Forts!

September 23rd, 2008

When I was little I had a good friend that was like a sister to me.  We were always having sleepovers at each other’s house and our favorite activity was making forts in the living room where we could hide from the adults and share our secrets.  Our hideaways were pretty primitive and limited to […]

Green Toys

August 2nd, 2008

I recently discovered Green Toys and thought that the Sand Play Set would be perfect for our camping trip this weekend.  That’s right Kellie and I are leaving blogging behind to sleep at the beach under the stars for the next two nights.
The kids at camp are going to love playing in the sand with […]

Gifts for a One-Year-Old

July 28th, 2008

One of our dear readers, Hosoo, recently asked us for gift suggestions for one-year old boys and girls. She will be visiting family soon and would like to take some gifts other than clothes. Air travel will be involved so packing will be a factor. Especially since those $%#*@! at the airlines […]

Scholastic Video Collection

June 15th, 2008

My sons just love all of the stories from the Scholastic Video Collection. They are always thrilled to watch their favorite books on TV and I don’t feel as guilty about TV time since I’ve convinced myself it’s alright because they are watching award-winning books. (Right? On second thought don’t answer.) […]

June 11th, 2008

Still don’t have a clue what the kids should give Dad for Father’s Day? I just saw this book on Parents.com and it looks great. Father Knows Less: One Dad’s Quest To Answer His Son’s Most Baffling Questions by Wendell Jamieson is a compilation of some tough-to-answer questions with answers […]

Cute Melamine Plates by French Bull

May 24th, 2008

I saw these fun plates by French Bull in Every Day with Rachael Ray several months back and thought they were adorable. So I put the magazine on the side with the intention of finding them online later. Then the magazine got lost in my filing system (piles of junk) and I […]
