Gamewright: Forbidden Island

Jacob loves to play games, and he’s getting older now, which means he likes to play a variety of games now….also meaning he likes to play a few more interesting games (rather than just the normal preschool games).  We’ve really been talking about a family game night, so adding a few games to the mix [...]

Hasbro Family Game Night with Popular Card Games

We’ve been talking about instituting a family game night in our own house, just a night every week to turn off the tv and all other electronics….a night to just sit together at the table or on the living room floor and bond together over a multitude of fun games.  Our kids love to play [...]

Jelly Flyer Review/Giveaway

Summertime is a time for playing outside, eating watermelon, going swimming, and of course, playing with Jelly Flyers!  My boys would definitely agree.

NoodleHead Toys sent us 2 regular Jelly Flyers and a Jumbo Jelly Flyer to try out for ourselves.  Of course, my boys were super excited to get outside and try these sleek, silicone [...]

Monopoly 75th Anniversary Giveaway

Monopoly is one game that can go on and on in our house. My husband loves to play this game, probably because he always wins, and he has no shame in flaunting his wealth in the game either.:) I, personally, don’t like to play Monopoly with him. LOL Even though I [...]

Noodle Head: Young Picasso Art Kit Review/Giveaway

Kids are so much fun, and they can be so creative, especially if they’re motivated by the things around them, including their toys.  Noodle Head Toys make childhood fun, and they certainly brightened up my Jacob’s day.

Jacob and Jaden both love to paint and draw and make all sorts of cool creations.  I’ve decided that [...]

SweetPea3 Kids’ MP3 Player

The SweetPea3 is an MP3 player for infants, toddlers, and kids that is both cute and quite functional.  My Jaden has fallen in love with his SweetPea3, and he has basically carried around with him so much, that now the batteries are so worn down that Mommy’s going to have to change them.  He loves [...]

My Numbers iPad App

I’m always on the hunt for new, innovative ways to teach my toddler different things like colors, numbers, etc.  I don’t have an iPad, so I couldn’t give this a complete review, but the My Numbers iPad App from Punflay seems like a great way to introduce numbers and even colors to any toddler.   Using [...]

The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks

Jacob has found a new game that he loves, loves, loves.  He’s been playing it through the week some, now that he’s out of school, and honestly, as a parent, I don’t hate it.:)  This is one game that I can rest confident in him playing because it’s not just a game….it’s a learning experience [...]

Safety 1st: Snack & Scribble Booster Seat

Facing mealtime with a toddler can be quite fun, especially with a hungry toddler who’s bored and not wanting to let you alone long enough to chop up the veggies or stir the meat before it scorches to the bottom of your pan.:)  I definitely speak from experience here.  Of course, if you can find [...]

Mel’s Thoughts:

Playmobil is a company that brings imaginative, creative toys to kids, and they’re definitely a company that is on this mom’s good side.  With toys for both boys and girls and a variety of sets to choose from, there’s something for every child.

My boys actually received the African Wild Life Waterhole.  As soon as [...]

ImagiPLAY: 3 Chicks Review & Giveaway

We love putting together puzzles in our house, especially ones that challenge us.  While the 3 Chicks we received from ImagiPLAY may not look that challenging, for a toddler they are quite the challenge.

The 3 Chicks are handmade and handpainted, using paint that is child-friendly.  They are made out of rubberwood, which is a type [...]

TOS Crew: Super Star Speech & Super Star Games

When Jacob was about 2-3 years old, he suffered from constant ear infections. We always knew that if he had a fever, it was coming. As a consequence, he ended up having a slight hearing loss due to the infections and having to have tubes put in, as well as speech therapy for [...]

Cloud B: Gentle Giraffe Review

Jaden has a new buddy….a new buddy which helps him to sleep.  He had to carry this new buddy around with him for the first few days that we had him.  This new buddy is the Gentle Giraffe from Cloud B.  From the moment I opened the box and took him out, Jaden was attached.:)

Cloud [...]
