Babes and Kids Review

Learning to Ride a Bike Learning to ride a bike is definitely a milestone in a child’s life. Having mom and dad run beside them, using training wheels, finally getting it on their own. But what if you had a bike that prepped your child to go straight to riding without training wheels? That’s where…

Play-doh Fun Factory I’ve blogged about Play-doh a few times in the past, so you already know that I think it’s a great activity for the boys. It’s perfect for those rainy summer days, when you can’t go outside, but don’t want the kids watching tv either. Play-doh is great at helping little imaginations, and…

Strollers In the last 4 1/2 years, we’ve had 5 different strollers. We’ve had everything from a single stroller that went with our first travel system, to the Jeep Wrangler All Weather Umbrella Stroller featured in this post. Having an umbrella stroller is a first for us, so it was interesting to see what we…

Protection From the Sun As the weather warms up, and the sun heats things up, most kids will be spending more time outside. We have a pool that we fill up in our backyard, and also love going swimming in outdoor pools. With the sun comes harmful UV rays. I feel like I am constantly…

Splahin Petal Pool When I first saw this Strawberry Shortcake Splashin Petal Pool, it brought back memories from when I was a little girl playing with Strawberry Shortcake. Since I don’t have any girls, we don’t have any toys like this around our house, but I think it’s adorable still the same. Maybe someday I…

Nerf Super Soakers What would a summer sun event be without a great water gun? Hasbro has some awesome water guns out this summer, one being the Nerf Super Soaker Hydro Fury. With a name like Super Soaker, it’s going to get the job done. I remember my brothers having super soakers growing up and…

Swimwear What woman doesn’t want to feel good in a swimsuit? I know I do! However, I became increasingly self conscious of myself in a swim suit after I had 2 babies. Mostly my tummy because genetics were not nice to me. I also want something to bring my tummy in because my abs are…

WAT-AAH As the summer months approach, it’s important to stay hydrated. I think WAT-AAH has you covered in that sense. Last summer I had a chance to take the WAT-AAH challenge in our house. The concept is to put these brightly colored bottles next to other fruit drinks and sodas and see what your family…

Little Tikes For the last 40 years, Little Tikes has been making great toys and helping kids create lasting memories. We have many Little Tikes toys in our home, including the Cozy Coupe. We got our cozy coupe about 5 months ago and the boys have had great fun playing in it, especially since they…

The Summer Sun event at Babes and Kids starts today!  I’m excited to be featuring some great products all geared around having fun in the sun.  (Although we’ve had a lack of it where I live.)  Don’t forget to check back over the next 12 days for great reviews and giveaways.  And don’t forget to…

Summer Sun I’m done with the cold weather, and am ready for some sun! It’s finally starting to warm up here, and that means summer is on it’s way. What better way to celebrate than with some great products geared towards the outdoors? Babes and Kids is having a Summer Sun party! The event will…

The Ultimate Blog Party! Who knew the blogosphere could have such awesome parties? I didn’t until now, but am excited to be a part of the Ultimate Blog Party 2010, put on by 5 Minutes for Mom. As part of the party, here’s a little “get to know me” I’m Tiff, writer and creator of…

Secrets of the Mountain If you’ve stopped by to visit in the last couple days, you know that I’ve been in NYC. My first trip there, and it was for a great reason. Walmart and Proctor & Gamble have paired up to present a great family film; Secrets of the Mountain. I must admit, I…

Handy Manny’s Big Race More often than not you can hear my 4 year old Chandler, or even me walking around the house singing the Handy Manny theme song.  It’s a catchy tune, and ever since Handy Manny came out, it’s been on at our house several times a week.  My boys like to watch…

Women Unite for a Cause I take pride in being a woman. Women are strong and beautiful. We are smart and know how to get things done. And when it comes to joining together for a cause, we are even stronger. For the 6th consecutive year, Macy’s is teaming up with the American Heart Association…

As part of Momdot’s Bloggers and Tiaras, we were given a mission to complete a talent.  In thinking of a talent, I wasn’t sure if I should show some weird quarky talents or stick to talents that I’ve worked hard to develop.  Then I thought, why not have a mix of both?  So without further…
