Mr. Chewy- Dog Food for Fab Pets

Dog food is a tricky topic. There are a few different points of view. They vary from the raw food diet where dogs eat raw meat only, to straight organic whole food dog food, to people food only to whatever food is on sale or cheapest that week.

If you are of the last category please rethink your current state of mind. Your dog is a member of your family and you wouldn’t want anyone in your family to eat meat by products or other undesirable ingredients.
Mr Chewy is a great place to start looking for new brands of dog food to bring you onto the side of healthy dog food. There are lots of different brands to choose from, a massive amount of variety per brand and lots of information about each.

Some of the brands they have include Blue Buffalo, which specialize in high quality [Read more…]

ThinkGeek- Get Your Geek On

Now that all those relatives are gone, and the sweaters have been returned lets turn up the geek a bit. Throw on a cheesy sci fi movie and lets go shopping at ThinkGeek.


First up is a very cool shirt, The Spanish Inquisition Babydoll. It is bright red cotton and fitted. It is a witty design which includes a black shield, as well as Cardinal Ximinez hat. Expected by no one since 1970. Now that you have heard about the shirt, if you still have no idea what this is referencing- number one go sit in the corner. Now. Go. Secondly it is a skit from Monty Python.

Now for something a bit more festive, and fun, while still [Read more…]

Kidorable- fab raingear and so much more! W!N an umbrella HERE!

Kidorable makes some of the most fun raingear for kids 1T up to size 6X- and man I wish they went larger! LOL. We just love all the fun styles and options, and how they make all sorts of matching outfits- you can get not just matching rainboots and raincoat- but the umbrella, backpack, towel, mittens, hat, hanger- you name it! It all goes together, and it is all SO CUTE!

Kidorable just came out with a new Dragon Knight Collection, and it is just as cute as all the other styles they have (are they just too creative, or what?) This style is lighter then the other coats, and made in a new material. My Little Man loves to go fight dragons in his little coat- it’s a little thin for winter, but it will be super for all the warmer months (and honestly, most raincoats are too hot for summer and even spring!)

The Dragon Knight collection is steel grey with dark green as accent color, perfect for strong and brave boys. Some pieces accentuate the Knight, others the Dragon, but there is a nice interplay between both characters throughout the set. The umbrella has protruding dragon horns and wings, with a knight, fire, and a castle motif along the bottom. The helmet on the matching raincoat is Kidorable’s coolest hood so far.
The child who wears it can imagine himself as a valiant knight fighting the dragon. The backpack is shaped like a shield for extra play value. It comes with a little stuffed toy sword. The coat is a new material, PU (polyurethane). It’s softer and lighter than PVC.

Kyjen Dog Toys

Are you looking for a dog toy that is a bit different then the norm? Or something that can really stand up?
Take a look at Kyjen. Kyjen have some fabulously different toys for dogs. Dog toys that range from squeaky toys to chew toys.

Today we are going to take a look at two of these unique toys. One is the Seamsters Bone. The Seamsters line of toys involves both rawhide and a natural rubber chew toy. The rawhide are knot free strips. The strips thread along the edge of the chew toy, which when it is opened up, can be filled with treats as a finishing point for the puzzle. Leela found this toy so much fun. First she loved throwing the bone around. Then she realized the rawhide was edible and started to chew at and eat that. Once opened she was ecstatic that there were treats inside. After eating the treats she literally ran around the house full speed. This would be a good toy to give your pooch when leaving the house for a while.

Next up is the Kibble Drop. Kibble [Read more…]

PuppeTees Review

When is the last time you had a puppet emergency? (That’s when it’s apparent you’re a parent, for sure.)
This usually occurs in our house when a puppet is MIA. Or maybe its puppet time and the stage can’t be set.
Check out PuppeTees. Puppetees are stage and puppet built into one singular package, be it a tote or a T-shirt. The puppets are well crafted detailed finger puppets. So these are perfect for little hands and fingers.

We had the pleasure of giving the Town Square T-shirt a try. The shirt is a good fit for Little Man, he loves playing with puppets and this shirt is such a good idea. [Read more…]

GoGoBabyz- Travel Stroller/Carseat G!VEAWAY

Strollers always have some new feature to make you say, “Wow, great idea”. Today we are looking at GoGoBabyz new stroller the Urban Advantage. What makes this stroller unique is only has three wheels, two in the back and one in the front. This makes tight turns a breeze and even fitting it in the trunk seems a bit easier.

The stroller is for children from new born to 45 lb.s with a touch of a button it folds up quickly and easily. There is a large storage compartment underneath and the tires are airless, so no blow outs while traversing the wild streets of the city, lol. OR, the not so wild streets and sidewalks of suburbia 🙂

Little Man says about the stroller- “oh- mom, it’s comfy!” and I have to say it was a very smooth ride. It has 4 cupholders- one for me, one for him, and one for when Kamikaze joins us, with one left. So if you have more then 2 kids, or daddy comes along, you are good to go. It has lots of storage, and the sunshade is of course, a must have feature in any stroller. You also need the snack tray- which swings out for easy in and out- daily, don’t we? It’s also good for playing with all the toys our little ones carry with them everywhere, LOL.

It was super easy to put together- it took my husband less then 20 minutes to do. The ride is so smooth, it feels like you hardly have to push it at all, and more then once I have pushed it one-handed (what can I say- cell phones ring, toys drop, hats fall off, you know how it is!!!) and it was so not an issue. Even when the road gets bumpy, the stroller just keeps truckin’!

A few more features of this stroller that I love are;

  • 360-degree front-wheel swivel and a slim
  • Easy to maneuver around tight corners and narrow store aisles
  • Airless 12-inch wheels
  • Provides easy handling and a smooth ride on urban sidewalks or dirt paths
  • Cushioned four-position reclining seat back
  • Adjustable leg rest
  • Stroller collapses easily with the one-handed folding system.

You can pick up lots of accessories for this stroller on the site, too- such as rain gear, a larger sun shade, a twin adapter, and the like 🙂

Next up is the GoGo Kidz Travelmate. The Travelmate is a wonderful attachment for anyone who goes traveling with toddlers. This attachment is in simplest terms wheels that attach to a car seat which make it very easy to roll the car seat around. The Travelmate has a telescopic handle and two 5 inch Razor wheels.


This attachment makes it so much easier then lugging around a car seat. Not only is your little one off their feet, but the car seat now has wheels and is easy to move around. Have you ever tried to travel while toting around a carseat? And then the stroller??? NOT FUN! You need a seat for your child on the plane, and you need a stroller for the airport, and when you land. This makes things so much easier. Plus then you won’t need to rent a carseat when you land and get to your rental car 🙂 BAM- covered!

Now onto the real fun parts. Recycling! GoGo Kidz now offers recycled versions of both their Travelmate and Urban Advantage. A recycled unit is one that has been refurbished [Read more…]

The Hidden- find the ghosts in your house!

The 3DS is a wonder of modern technology the 3D is incredible and the system itself is a powerhouse. There is one characteristic which I find most interesting, the ability of augmented reality game play. This is when the world you live in is changed slightly or played in. IE you traverse the room you are actually in, instead of a generated one. This can make for some very imaginative games. Majesco has released a good example of this: The Hidden.

In this game you play the part of a GEIST, Ghost Entity Investigation Strike Team, member. In this role you job is to hunt down ghosts in your surroundings. These ghosts come in different sizes and shapes and hide in plain sight! Using the 3DS as a ghost viewer the player has to look around their surroundings for entities. These entities can hide anywhere from your living room, inside the car, or even the bedroom. The ghosts fly around and you must shoot them with one of your many weapons to destroy them. This game [Read more…]
