Be True! Be you!

That is the message behind Moxie Girlz for the Nintendo DS. On the surface this game doesn’t look like there is much to it, but when you dig a bit deeper you find the creativity in it. This isn’t your average video game for girls. In this game you can completely customize your Moxie Girl. You can customize with accessories hairstyles, fashion and everything in between. There is also a fashion play mode as well as mini games and art play. There is also the added feature of adding photos of yourself to the fun with your DSi or 3DS.

Movie Girlz is mostly geared toward the preteen girls, so the motto of be true to yourself is very important in my book. I see this especially in my daughter, who it seems like changes her opinion like the wind as her little friends at school change theirs, even if she has no idea what it is she ‘loves’ this week. An example is Justin Beeber, she said she loved him two years ago, but when asked who he is all she knew is he sang a song that goes, “Baby baby oh, baby baby oh”. She definitely needs to take the motto of Moxie Girlz to heart. She also thinks he is named Justin Beaver. So….yeah. Needs to form her own opinions a bit- I hope she will grow into that a little. (Girl Scouts and Sports should help, right? RIGHT???? Please? I am so not ready for a tween! AHHHHH!)

YooHoo and Friends have some of the cutest and most reasonably priced toys out there- not to mention so cute that I want them as much as my son does half the time! LOL

New for Christmas!

YooHoo & Friends are the furry, fun-filled characters created based upon “rare and endangered animals” in their natural habitats from all over the world to deliver the awakening message on the nature protection. These big-eyed, colorful bushy tailed creatures are too cute for words, and is it any wonder that kids clamor for them?

As most of you know, we had a TON of YooHoos before idiot Hurricane Irene- but now we are down to these and the Frankenstein one that I just bought him. He loves these cute, cuddly, fun toys that make adorable sounds when you squeeze them. You and your child can find out about each of these adorable animals and what they are based on by clicking on them. The games on the YooHoo website are really cute for kids, Pre-K and up.

There are two very easy options for shopping as well- you can find a store that sells them in your area HERE by entering your info, or you can shop online here–
I called a local store, and they still have both the Thanksgiving and Christmas ones in stock, so guess where I am sending daddy tonight? Mwah-haha….

One of you will win a random YooHoo from Aurora! Here is how to enter-

Halloween is over now- its time for the dentist bill! Just kidding, LOL. How about instead of dreading a trip to the dentist and playing with power tools, we try something a little different. Play Doh has a new Doctor Drill N Fill Playset. The playset has everything your little ones need to be a dentist except the degree. Included is a powered drill, toothbrush, mirror, braces and of course a head which opens up to act as your patient. I like how this playset lets kids have fun with the dentist and also gives adult a little fun too. Our dentist wears what looks like a paper napkin over his mouth when doing dental work, so when Little Man plays with the set he has to have a napkin tied around his ears in order to be the doctor.

Littlest Pet Shop is at it again. Keeping their little critters cute and collectible yet still fresh and new. This time it is with Littlest Pet Shop Walkables. Walkables are little critters who will actually walk as the animals do, when they are on a flat surface. These ae pretty neat and I have to admit Little Man really likes walking his little pet dog like Mommy and Daddy do with our dog. I especially like how the new walkables fit in with the previous Littlest Pet Shop playsets and creatures- keep the fun coming!

Have you ever given your little ones a transformer toy only to be asked 5 minutes later, “Can you turn this into the car?” and then, “Can you turn this into the robot?” and back again. OK- yes, this is super, super annoying- more for me then for Daddy I think, LOL. All the while trying to show them how to do it themselves but their little fingers just don’t want to listen just yet, but their little minds are full of creative juices and play time is full of more and more transforms. Hasbro has heard your woes and are introducing a new line of transformers. The Rescue Bots.The Rescue bots are the same Transformer’s we all know, Optimus, Bumblebee and the crew in easy to transform, chunkier versions just perfect for little hands. These are perfect for your little guy or girl who want to get into Transformers but simply can’t do the transforming part yet. The transformations still change from vehicle to robot, but these are a bit simpler in design, but not in fun.

Oh. My. Goodness. There is nothing as cute as these. Like, nothing. I can’t even stand it. There is no way to explain the cuteness (or the fluffiness, squishy-ness, mushy-ness!) I didn’t have any idea how much my son (or I!) was going to love, love, love this adorable cuddle-ball of a T-Rex, but now I think we may be addicted. There is no way we will not be getting him another one for Christmas.

These soft and loveable Squishables are also SUPER fun- you can get “normal” cuties like a fox, panda, bear, or kitty- or some wild and geek-tastic fabulousness like a narwahl or a cthulhu. I mean REALLY!?! LOVE it.

You know you want one. Or five. They come in minis, too!!!
Can you stand it? LOL. Ok, I’ll stop. My Little Man loves loves loves his T-Rex, and I know that one of you will just adore your win as well- the adorable Wolf!

Do you want to win him? If you don’t, you need help. LOL. And since you do- Here is how to enter!
