Oh the dreams of becoming a parent and you have been told it’s a girl! That means of course that you should go crazy in buying pink. Pink blankets, pink sheets, pink dresses and something that may not be a necessity but I know that I found it more than helpful, a Bumbo.Here comes the day and surprise! It’s a boy! While modern science is wonderful it can be wrong. Sadly, at this point if you were like me you had already thrown all your receipts and … [Read more...]
Little Green Books Review and Giveaway (Birthday Bash) – CLOSED
July 2, 2011 By 7 Comments
As a mother, I try to stay calm about most situations. I have to admit though that I often find myself in moments of anxiety about the state of our planet. Whether or not you believe that global warming is a problem or take the time to recycle, it's hard to ignore the drastic impact humans have had on the Earth. I love living in New Mexico, but I have to say that this is an extremely dirty place. There is trash and litter everywhere we look, and it makes it difficult to … [Read more...]

A couple of years ago at Christmas time when I was racking my brain on great gift ideas for my kids, it hit me they mostly have toys that provide no imagination play. Ok here we go bear with me "when I was younger" I had many toys that I had to made up the game/story/plot... so I decided to look into getting them actions figures. I did get them a few GI Joe's but dang those are expensive and surprise surprise they were not the "it" present. I wish I would have discovered Kaskey Kids sooner! … [Read more...]

How many times have you seen a kid get super close to something disgusting to get a better look or what ever reasoning they come up with.

Lately I've been getting a lot of products to review that my daughters are loving, but my son has felt a little left out. So when I found out I was going to get to review Shrinky Dinks from BSW Toys, I jumped at the chance to choose something for Johnathon to play with - and that decision has made me mommy of the year in his eyes :-)! Shrinky Dinks are these super-creative products that your kids use to make their own, miniature, and sometimes even 3D … [Read more...]

I recently received a copy of Hugless Douglas by David Melling to review from Little One Books. When it comes to children's book the illustrations are generally the first thing that I look at in determining if I am going to purchase a book. Hugless Douglas would have been in my cart for sure as the pictures the huge, colorful and would be ideal for a storytime session. To pair with the wonderful illustrations is an adorable storyline.Douglas wakes up in the spring and is on the … [Read more...]

I love books and I am a sentimental person. Recently I have come across I See Me as a great way to combine the two. I am constantly ordering books for my boys and leaving personal messages in them with dates. Most of these books are still stacked on a shelf because I don't trust them with the pages yet and recently I have added Who Loves Coulter and Corbin to the mix. The book is written by Jennifer Dewing and illustrated by Maria Carluccio, with my children's names … [Read more...]
My Sibling & My Pal Review and Giveaway (Birthday Bash) – CLOSED
June 19, 2011 By 173 Comments
My daughter is in love with dolls. She literally sleeps with a minimum of five dolls each night, and I am constantly being surprised by dolls in dresser drawers, in the baby's highchair, on top of the counter, in the car seats - pretty much all over the house. As much as I like June's love of dolls, I have to say that the quality of dolls these days is kind of dismal. Not only that, it sometimes seems like once you've seen one doll, you've seen them all. So I am … [Read more...]
