Recently, I was in search of a baby shower gift for a friend having her third daughter. I’ve shopped for floor play toys for over 10 years now, so I thought I was an expert. Then, Tiny Love™ Gymini

Walking into the nearest trading settlement, they pray to the Lord for someone to help. When a man lands in the dust at her feet, Emma looks down at him and thinks, The Lord might have cleaned him up first.
Unlikely Hero- Luke Carson, heading up his first cattle drive, is not planning on being the answer to anyone’s prayers, but it looks as though God has something else in mind for this kind and gentle man. What will happen when a dedicated Amish woman and a stubborn trail boss are each other’s match?

Bounce-A- Long Buddies- Review and Contest
March 29, 2012 by 65 Comments
Our spring break was spent stuck inside while it rained for nearly a week! Ever try to keep four kids entertained when all they want and need to do is get energy out? Let me tell you now it’s not easy, but I had some help this past week from two really fun and kid approved Bounce-A-Long Buddies!
We reviewed “Moo Moo” which is about 17″ and “Trotter” who is 20″, both are $39.99 and ship deflated of course.
Cute aren’t they? These super fun, kid powered and soft bouncing buds are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The ears for both cow and horse act as an extra grip handle for the kids to easily grasp at. Puts a bounce in a rainy day I’m telling you! I thought my older kids were too big for the bouncing buds but each buddy can support up to 220lbs, so all my kids got to enjoy these. They are rated for ages 3 +
Bouncing race! My five year old and three year old going at it in the hall. Bounce-A-Long Buddies are easy to inflate with any standard [Read more…]
Easter Adorable from The Children’s Place @thechildrensplc
March 27, 2012 by 13 Comments
Why do so few clothing stores make only a couple of options for boys? Nothing really cool or super fab. There are not many stores that cater to both boys AND girls. I love being the mom of a son, but shopping for fun clothes for him is challenging. He has his own taste (the child thinks he is a rock star) and it’s nearly impossible to fins clothing that he likes that I can afford. Hello? Do I look like I can afford boutique shopping? No, no I can’t. But he can look like I do, right? Enter The Children’s Place– home of all sorts of fabulous, at a price even I can afford (oh, and they are SO GOOD about sales- yay! Make sure you sign up for their newsletter and emails if you haven’t yet, you are so missing out if you are not on those lists!)
Yes- the girls clothes are really cute, trendy, and fun. But how often can you REALLY find great, stylish, boys items? Right? You know what I mean, moms, aunts, and grandmas of boys. It’s not easy. And they really make the outfit with the boy in mind- from belts to ties to hats- they know what a trendy boy wants to wear. Of course, you can buy jeans and T-Shirts there as well, but they are just so much more fun to shop at then any other store for me. If you look at my photos from this website, you can see that EASILY more then 70% of Little Man’s clothing comes from The Children’s Place. They keep the kid (and mommy’s wallet!) [Read more…]
Tiny Tillia- Sweet Gifts from Avon
March 27, 2012 by 16 Comments
I am a sucker for a stuffed animal. If it is stuffed and full soft I fall in love and so does my son. We are kindred spirits in our love of all things cute, soft and cuddlable. I especially like stuffed critters which are unique and different, like lets say a stuffed giraffe wearing a tie.
This particular giraffe is just about the softest thing I have ever touched. He is sixteen inches tall and ours name is Jeff the Giraffe. Yours of course will have another name but Little Man is the official name giver and we are glad its name wasn’t “Brownie” or “Cutie”.
This is, of course, the cute stuffie who was sent with the gift for mommy, which is actually a gift for Little Man. This gift set includes a Citrus Sherbet Shampoo and Body Wash, a Calming [Read more…]
Frecklebox- Fun Easter Gifts
March 24, 2012 by 9 Comments
Daddy was excited about this particular review, and asked to man the review. Take it away, Daddy!
There is a certain amount of pleasure surrounding reading to your kids. Not only is it fun to see their eyes light up and follow the tale you are weaving, but it is also nice to know you are laying a foundation of good reading habits for them to follow into their adult lives. My father used to read to me and now I read as often as I can, I hope my kids do the same. But I will be the first to admit it is trying sometimes. The kids get bored, the story hits a not so exciting part, etc. There is a way to keep the kids interested in the whole story having them in the story!
Check out the new personalized books from Frecklebox. These are not the books you may remember growing [Read more…]
