Filed under toys
Tweet BigFoot is always feeling moody … can you relate? I certainly can, especially these days. One minute I’m feeling on top of the world, the next just a wee bit impatient and grumpy. I can blame it on hormones, but what about BigFoot? One things for sure and for certain – he’s a guy [...]

Tweet My kiddos were extremely excited to try the new Moon Dough Barnyard Playset that we received just before our vacation.

Tweet Playskool recently sent us the Busy Ball Popper for Noah to check out. At Playskool they believe that play stimulates the senses, engages the imagination, encourages curiosity, and empowers children’s sense of self confidence by allowing them to discover the world at their own pace. I totally agree! As a homeschooling mom, I also [...]

Tweet Little Miss Julia has been begging me to take her for a special “girl’s night” to see Hannah Montana The Movie, which debuted in theaters last week. The movie sounds pretty cute – Miley gets too caught up in the celebrity lifestyle and starts letting her alter ego “Hannah Montana” dominate her life. Her [...]

Tweet Do your kiddos ever grab your camera and run off with it? My Julia is the biggest culprit around here… She loves to snap wild and crazy pictures of everything, including silly self-portraits! Now, it would be a bad thing to let my camera get in the hands of my younger kiddos. That’s where [...]
