Thomas the Tank Engine “Thomas the tank engine rolling along…..” Yes, that was me singing the Thomas theme, and I’m sure you do too, or at least get it stuck in your head if you’ve got a Thomas fan in your home. Being the mom of two little boys, Thomas is a well known figure….
Elmo Elmo has been around for quite some time. I remember him when I was little, and now my boys are growing up with him. Chandler liked Elmo much more than Rowan has, and we went through a phase where all Chan wanted to watch was Elmo’s World and play with Elmo toys. Not only…
Cookies….Yum. If you spent any given amount of time at our house, you would quickly see that we are a cookie and cookie dough family. It’s our go to treat because it’s delicious, easy to make, and everyone loves it. I will often keep pre-made cookie dough on hand for a quick warm treat for…
Squeaker I have two stealth little boys who like to wander. Chan is getting better since he’s approaching 5, but Rowan is a different story. He’s a mastermind at getting outside when he’s not supposed to, wandering quietly away at the store, and just plain running away. Sometimes I don’t want to go anywhere because…
It’s Hot! It’s hot here. Hot where you live? I’m sure most of you would answer yes. We’ve been staying cool by playing in the water outside, just staying inside, and with popsicles and ice cream. When I see ice cream of any sort, it screams summer. It brings back great memories for me. To…
Written by Jeralee, Guest Reviewer We all have something that we are passionate about, and what better way than to express it on our clothing! Recently I was given the opportunity to design a shirt through Fibers.com. You can shop for one of their graphic t-shirts or other apparel, or design your own custom t-shirts. From their…
DownEast Basics Swim I’ve said in the past that DownEast Basics is one of my favorite clothing stores. Functional, adorable, great quality and priced reasonably. So it’s no wonder when I got the chance to try out some of their swimwear that I jumped on it. Pros: The ladies swimwear line this summer is nothing…
Kids and Digital Cameras I can’t even begin to tell you how many times my boys are trying to sneak my digital camera to take pictures. They think it’s fun, however I don’t want my camera broken, so I’m constantly taking it away, which results in tears and tantrums. That’s where a kid friendly digital…
Imagination Little kids have amazing imaginations. Over the past 6-8 months, I’m seeing more and more imaginative play from Chandler, and have to laugh at some of the funny and witty stuff he says. Along with their imagination comes the notions of being afraid of the dark, monsters, and more. Fairytale wishes has a fun…
Ironing It Out I’ve been through many flat irons over the years, and have tried lots of different brands. One thing that I’ve definitely learned is to buy a professional flat iron. Although it might seem like a bit of an upfront investment, it’s definitely worth it in the end. They last longer, heat up…
Learning Games Games are always fun for kids to play. When they are learning games, it’s a definite bonus. Not too long ago, I reviewed Sky High Scoops, which was a count and seek electronic game. Another great game from Learning Resources is Fruit Stand Avalanche. About the Game From Learning Resources: Careful, don’t spill…
Bumbleride Flite We aren’t a stranger to Bumbleride, and after using the Indie Twin for the last 10 months, I’ve been continually impressed with the quality of the stroller it is. So when I heard that they came out with a new lightweight stroller, the Flite, my curiosity peaked. I love using our bigger stroller,…
Pretend Play As the boys get older, particularly Chandler, we are starting to explore new and different toys. He’s gotten very into imaginative play, and loves action figures and such. Playmobil has a few new sets that came out a few months ago, and they are perfect for pretend play. For the last month, we’ve…
