November 3, 2012 by 3 Comments

So, with toddlers, we know that Potty Training is always just around the corner! I can honestly say that I didn’t even really have to potty train Ella!!! She was perfect about going in the toilet ..I will admit that we had a few problems with going number 2, but she was all about the toilet and was pretty much potty trained shortly after turning 2!!

I was excited to give the Pourty a try! Pourty is the WONDERFUL new potty chair that is confortable for your child and is EXTREMELY easy to empty and clean! It actually won Best New Product to Market 2010/2011 and is rated 5/5 in potty reviews!

Yoomi-Self Warming Baby Bottle Review

October 31, 2012 by 5 Comments

Being the mom of a VERY active 2.5 year old, as well as a 7 month old means that we are ALWAYS on the go! As you know by now, I am a breastfeeding mom, so seldomly do I need bottles, but there are just times that it is truthfully much more convenient.

I was SO excited to review the Yoomi Bottle! The Yoomi is the first self-warming bottle. It is a bottle and warmer all in one. The Yoomi heats the milk to the natural temperature of breastmilk with the touch of a button, in only 60 seconds. The wonderful warmer, can be recharged up to 100 times. When you get the bottle, you are to sterilize ALL parts in boiling water.

How Does It Work??

Well it is very simple!! You need to have your bottle full with breastmilk or formula. Push the orange button on the warming unit, and wait just 30 seconds, until the button turns blue. Then [Read more…]

Tiny Love Musical Stack & Ball Game Elephant Review & Sunny Stroll Review & Giveaway

October 29, 2012 by 27 Comments

Musical Stack & Ball Game Elephant This is a wonderful ball game that really helps develop many skills, such as stacking, sorting, threading, opening, and closing. There are primarily 2 different games that they can play. They can stack the rings by size, or they can work with sticking the balls inside the elephant! To top it off there is music and flashing lights as well! This toy is recommended for children 6 months & up.

My Thoughts

As you can see, my daughter completely LOVES this toy! I should mention that my 2 1/2 year old is also a HUGE fan! I love how this toy serves more than one purpose, for right now, my youngest loves to play with the balls, watch the lights, and listen to the music! My oldest likes [Read more…]

Honeywell EnergySmart® Surround Select Ceramic Heater Review

October 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment

With winter just around the corner, who doesn’t have the need for a Space Heater? I live in the middle of Kansas, where we have extremely cold winters!! My husband is definitely pretty frugal (I think that’s the best way to put it 🙂 ). He always likes to wait and see how long he can wait to turn on the heat. It was definitely no big deal when it was just the two of us, because I LOVE to snuggle up with blankets, but now that we have 2 younger children, it really isn’t an option for us to do!!

This past weekend it was already in the high 20s/low 30s! I was all for turning on the heater, but my husband of course was reluctant! SO, I recently received the Honeywell EnergySmart Surround Select Ceramic Heater to review! I couldn’t have been any happier. I KNEW this is one product that I most definitely could thoroughly test, as well as get some great use out of!

I decided it was definitely time to break it out of the box!! I got it out and read some of the instructions, to make sure that I didn’t mess anything up 🙂

Here are some of the features of the Heater:

  • Ceramic Technology for quiet, even heating
  • EnergySmart Digital Controls
  • 180 degree feature for directional heating
  • 360 degree tip over protection
  • Cool TouchCarrying Handle
  • Two heat modes
  • Programmable thermostat
  • 1-8 hour timer
  • 3 year warranty


My Thoughts:

I absolutely LOVED it. It works wonderful. Our living room is fairly large, so I wasn’t sure that it would be able to warm us up, but it definitely did. We were almost to the point of being hot. I LOVE the Cool carrying [Read more…]

Pony Royale – Ponies with Mix and Match Manes

October 1, 2012 by 7 Comments

Update- with new Time To Play photos

Once Upon a Time….

…has got to be one of the best way to begin a story, and that is the way the story of the Pony Royale toys start. Every month for a year, a beautiful princess was born, and was given a gorgeous crown with a birthstone in it. At the time of each birth, a majestic pony was also born who had the same jewel in her forehead, thus bringing about the Pony Royale kingdom. The ponies were then given a magical forest to play in. And play they did. And now it is your turn to play. Each Pony Royale comes with changeable fashion and hair styles including two Change-It-Up hairstyles and brushes. These ponies are have a articulated head giving you the ability to [Read more…]

VTech Switch and Go Dinos @vtechtoys

September 27, 2012 by 11 Comments

Want to see a cool new toy that is both a dinosaur and a vehicle? It is way cooler then you are thinking- even if what you are thinking is very cool.

Take a look at these nifty new VTech Switch & Go Dinos. Each dinosaur can be changed from a dinosaur that roars and gives Dino-facts into a driver/pilot in a vehicle saying cool driver things like “Saddle Up, Partner!” There are at a minimum 10 phrases per Dinosaur for the starter Dino’s, and at the high end, 40 for Brok, the biggest of the crew.

These Dino’s are big. Brock is the largest, and he is very pliable for a transforming toy that is still transformable for little hands. This is a big deal, because as transforming toys go- the bigger they are, in general- the more complex the transformation often times is, frustrating little ones and leaving them with either broken toys or a lack of interest. It is very nice to see a big Dino transforming into a truck in 7 easy steps. Going from Dino roaring, into truck revving, in a matter of minutes. Little Man had a blast changing back and forth, and after a few times watching daddy change it, he was able to all by himself.

Each Dino comes with an accessory- some bigger then others, depending on the Dino in question. Aan example is the big Brachiosaurus [Read more…]
