I have known of Playmobil for years. Who hasn’t? I remember playing with Playmobil’s products when I was a kid and now my kids have the fun opportunity to have fun, first hand, with Playmobil and their latest products! We were given the chance to check out some of the latest products from Playmobil’s 1.2.3…. [Continue Reading]
Do you have a future rock star in your house? We do, but I can say that we are not about to rush out and buy our 5 year old a guitar. Think of the expense and I really doubt any 5 year old would be responsible enough to take care of such an expensive… [Continue Reading]
This fall, Tucker will be starting Junior Kindergarten. He is so excited, and I have to admit that I am too.

When Tucker was just before 3 years old, I bought him the original Leapster and I cannot tell you how much he has played, laughed and learned with this device!

Confession: I will admit that I am not totally green. I care about our environment, but as a busy mother, sometimes being ‘green’ just isn’t in the books for me. Well, that was until now. In my Jeep, on the door, I have a collection of reusable shopping bags. Why are they here? These bags… [Continue Reading]

The kids love role play and imaginative playing. From a mother’s opinion, it is hard (for me) to find toys that both of my kids will play with, enjoy for more than a week, something that is easy to store and something that I find reasonable in price. We were given the chance to check… [Continue Reading]
Do you send flowers? If so, why do you send them? If not, why don’t you? I love to send flowers just because. Recently, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM contacted me to receive a bouquet of flowers and while I love flowers, I thought I would bring a smile to someone else’s face. Why? This summer, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is on… [Continue Reading]
Most of us drive. Most of us have cell phones. With this said, a very large portion of people don’t have headsets, and in turn, are not practicing safe driving. I will confess that I have been known to text while driving, my phone will beep and I will see if it’s that email I… [Continue Reading]

Officially licensed Major… [Continue Reading]
It doesn’t matter what your age is, there are games that are made for any age, literally.

I love my house to smell good, but having small kids, I don’t care too much for having hot things or lit candles around where little fingers can get burned. I am a huge fan of Febreze products, so when I saw that there was a new product coming out, I was excited, beyond words!… [Continue Reading]
I travel quite a bit. It may be from our family venturing out and about for the day on errands or it can be me traveling out of state for a blog conference event. I get so tired of taking so many separate wall chargers. Oh, and we cannot forget how many times my BlackBerry… [Continue Reading]

Tucker is a huge sports fan; just like his daddy! He loves football, soccer, and especially baseball; go Cubs! In our living room, the kids each have their ‘spot’ that they have to sit in and watch a movie or sit and play. They have it this way so they won’t fight over who has… [Continue Reading]
With the Spring weather, comes rain. The kids love to play in the rain, but we didn’t have the gear for playing in the rain where the kids didn’t get drenched in.
