My little girl is at the age where she really enjoys stories at bedtime.  She is so close to learning to read. She already knows her letter and sounds and has some words memorize. That’s why when asked if I would like to review The V-Tech V.Reader, I thought it would be a good learning [...]

One of the hottest toys this Christmas is Zhu Zhu Pets - small, robotic hamsters that retail for $8.00. I hadn’t seen the commercials for these adorable creatures and had never heard of them until I saw an empty display at Toys R Us that said there was a limit of four Zhu Zhu Pets [...]

For her fourth birthday, the only thing my little girl wanted was a ’swimming puppy’ aka Rescue Pets Swim to Me Puppy. She had seen the cute swimming pooch on a television commercial and was instantly smitten with the idea of having one for herself.
I was hesitant to buy her one because of its size. [...]

To say that we are a tech family is putting it lightly. We have more computers than there are people that live in our household. Our favorite gifts are video games, board games, or computer accessories. So it is not surprising that Rae likes video games. In fact, she loves the Nintendo DS and even [...]

While looking for swing sets online, I went to Toys R Us and noticed a new toy exclusive to their them. It’s called Natural Toys.
There are six toys that are made of natural wood. The toys are decorated with a wood burning technique, so there is no paint. Just all natural wood. In a day [...]

To say that my daughter loves bath time just doesn’t seem to describe how much she enjoys it. She has a ton of ducks and other bath toys. Her favorite by far -both inside and outside the tub - is the Smart Splash Color Play Penguins.

It’s a set of 6 penguins each with their [...]

I picked up Rae a cute die cast car at the store. It was so cute that I just had to get it. Take a look:

It’s from the Little Tikes Land series. The bigger version of this toy is seen in yards across America. They also had more like a train and other vehicles.
Rae [...]

To say Raegan has a lot of toys would be an understatement. I can’t pass up a good deal on toys, so I’ve picked them up by the trash bag at the local thrift store when they have a toy sale. I’m always on the lookout for educational toys as well, so when I was [...]

My little one has a love for horses. It’s partially because her cousin has one, so she has been around one for some time now. When she saw the Fur Real horse Butterscotch at Target, she was enamored.

The batteries must have been worn down, because Butterscotch didn’t respond to getting her hair brushed or being [...]
