Disclosure: The coaster in the feature below was sent compliments of Step2. Step2 has taken their classic Up & Down Roller Coaster and transformed it into something every Thomas the Train lover will squeal over- a Thomas the Tank Engine. This adorable coaster can be used inside a playroom (as long as you have enough room) or outside and is perfect for children aged 2-5! Emmitt who is two is a huge Thomas fan, before I could even get the track set up, he was trying to ride Thomas. Set up was very easy. All of the track pieces click into each other. The most time consuming parts were putting the … [Read more...]
Monopoly Empire
September 9, 2013 by 8 Comments
Disclosure: The game in the feature below was provided compliments of Hasbro! I love me some Monopoly! I was about ten the first time I played with my mom and ever since then I have been hooked. My husband refuses to play with me because I'm so good at it he feels like he can never win. The only thing I don't love about Monopoly is my kids are still a bit to young to play. I have multiple versions of Monopoly, but they are covered in dust because of the length of time it takes to play a single game- the kids just can't sit still that long. Enter Monopoly Empire... Monopoly Empire is a completely … [Read more...]
University Games: Poppin Hoppies
September 2, 2013 by 8 Comments
Disclosure: The game in the feature below was provided compliments of University Games! My little ones love to feel included in family game night. Problem is, most games aren't appropriate for our younger ones. The ones that our 8 year old can figure out bore him quickly because when its not his turn- he has nothing to do. Thankfully University Games has decided to help bridge the gap and made games specifically for kids 6-12, like Poppin Hoppies! Poppin Hoppies is a remake of a 1960's game that is a 'hopping' good time for kids. To play, simply push down the spring-loaded figures with suction cup … [Read more...]
Baby Trend Sit N Stand Double Stroller
August 30, 2013 by 13 Comments
Disclosure: The stroller in the feature below was provided compliments of Baby Trend! With the addition of our second little one, Olive, I was debating about getting a double stroller. Hannah is 3 1/2, and can do a good amount of walking on her own. However, with living in the city, I knew she's not quite ready to walk the longer distances we do downtown. I could also think of times at the mall where having room for bags and a whiney, pulling-on-my-leg toddler, would be a lifesaver. The Baby Trend Sit N Stand Double is a great answer to those scenarios of mine, and many others with two children, … [Read more...]
Kolcraft Tiny Steps 2-in-1 Walker
August 27, 2013 by 6 Comments
Disclosure: The walker in the feature below was sent compliments of Kolcraft. Being a mom to a chatty toddler and an active baby, taking care of the house, making meals, and also running my own business, often with my kids around, can be quite the juggling act. The Kolcraft Tiny Steps 2-in-1 walker arrived at our door a few weeks ago, and has been a lifesaver ever since. Our little Olive is 5 1/2 months old, but barely seems like a little baby anymore. She entered a new stage about a month ago, where she is not content doing a single thing for very long. Hourly, I would go through the rotation … [Read more...]
Luv Chicken Booster Cushion

Disclosure: The booster cushion in the feature below was sent compliments of Luv Chicken. Dinner time during the week is one of my favorite times of the day. I just love gathering around the table with my entire family and talking about our day. One thing that has become an issue the bigger Emmitt gets is where he sits. He started in a high chair and out grew that. Then we moved to a belted booster, but he outgrew that as well. I have been having him just sit on a chair but he he really still needs a boost, right now he .ends up getting more food on the table and floor than in his mouth Then I … [Read more...]
