I first discovered Zoobies Plush Pets about a year and a half ago, and I instantly wanted one so bad!  And not just for my sweet little daughter – I wanted one for me!  I’ve always loved stuffed animals, and I think that whoever thought this concept up is a genius. Anyone who has ever...

If I could have all wooden toys for my kids, I would.  Wooden toys and puzzles promote children using their imaginations rather than relying on push-button instant entertainment, something we have too much of nowadays.  This is one of the reasons I love places like ImagiPlay, toy companies that provide...

I love the Little Tikes brand.  They come up with the coolest toys, playsets, and accessories for kids of all ages – even babies and toddlers!  And no matter what you’re looking for, they always have something your little one wants that is in your price range. Little Tikes Deluxe Ride...

I was recently introduced to PakNaks, and I’m loving them!  These interchangeable velcro stick-on “charms” have a high cute factor and an even higher fun factor.  At first I thought that they were just for kids to stick onto their backpacks and bags, but after receiving them and...

Toys and Games Online is one of my favorites of the popular CSN Stores (200 plus stores!).  They have a terrific selection of toys to pick from including but not limited to Little stuffed animals, games and puzzles, toddler development toys, and outdoor play toys for all ages.  Not only that, but...

When Emma was 15 months old, I received and tested a Melissa and Doug puzzle for Ebeanstalk.com.  And we loved it!  Ebeanstalk really has a great toy selection and the prices are good, too.  I enjoyed working with them before, so when asked to do it again I happily accepted! Ebeanstalk is a toy...

If you’ve found yourself wandering through the children’s aisles at Target lately, you’ve probably seen the Sassy Toys brand products for babies and toddlers in the baby bath area, baby feeding area, and toy area.  They really have very cool-looking, unique products that  you can’t...

I really have a lot of fun looking for inspiring developmental toys for my daughter – I think I love the new toys we come across as much as she does!  Our favorites so far have been shape sorters, wooden puzzles, and blocks.  Watching her expression when she figures out what she’s supposed...

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime – an adventure that your entire family can take part in! I’ll have to admit that before being introduced to Wizard101, I didn’t know much about online multiplayer games except that they looked intimidating (to me), and that people love them. ...

Yoo Hoo and Friends plush toys have taken off in popularity, and no wonder – they’re cute, cuddly, and each one is unique, making me children want them all! Where can you find these adorable creatures?  Well, online at www.auroragift.com is a great place to start.  There you’ll...

If you’re a fan of Hasbro toys, you may have heard and wondered about Project Zambi.  I did, but the holiday season was so crazy busy that I didn’t have a chance to look into it.  So recently, I headed over to the Project Zambi website and checked it out.  And I have to say that I’m...

When Emma was about 17 months, my easy morning routines were no more.  One day she woke up with the front of her outfit completely soaked through – her disposable diaper had not been sufficient.  Not only was she soaked, but her crib sheets and stuffed animals were wet, too.  Thus began the...

The Sims 3 for PC and Mac Why are virtual simulation games so much fun?  Possibly because, in the simulation world, you are in control. Let’s say that you wish you had pursued forensic science in your life.  Just head on over to your virtual life and create yourself, pursuing that degree! ...

My daughter loves dogs.  She also loves toys that move around and make noise (think zhu-zhu pets – she loved those!).  So when I was given the opportunity to review Skippy the Smart Pup from VTech, I was excited for Emma.  I was hoping the toy would be very interactive and that she would enjoy...
