I was recently given the privilege to review Baby Steps: The Path from Motherhood to Career. It was written by Diane Lang and I was pleasantly surprised with the content. When I first saw the book I wasn’t sure how much helpful information it would actually contain. I only say this because the book is [...]

I love the Barenaked Ladies, so when I was offered a chance to review their upcoming CD of music designed to appeal to kids, called Snacktime, I jumped at the chance. We’ve been listening to this disc for over a month now and it became our favorite pretty much the first time we heard it.
Snacktime [...]

Our son probably has about 4 pair of sunglasses at any given time. You can find a pair in the car, a pair near the sandbox and probably a few pairs at the bottom of the toy basket. The problem is that he wears them and lays them down somewhere and then forgets where they [...]

When we bought our triple stroller we also purchased a slightly used Eddie Bauer All-Terrain double stroller. It was big and we didn’t like the idea of lugging around two strollers (although we very soon changed our minds). Shortly after we realized the triple stroller was not a viable option for everyday use, we began [...]

No toy I have ever bought has kept our son more entertained than K’Nex. Sounds amazing I know, but it’s true. For his third birthday (almost 2 1/2 years ago) a friend purchased a small set of fishy animals for him and it was love at first sight. Once I realized this was the peace [...]

Three of my children have a favorite pastime of listening to my phone conversations. So when I got a call to review Littlest Pet Shop toys they heard me say I had never heard of them. Immediately they were across the room, yelling at the top of their combined lung power about what [...]

Several of our reviewers recently received advanced copies of the Growing Up Wild Cats DVD from Animal Planet. Witness the heartwarming and marvelous journey as newborn cubs find their way through the joys, adventures, discoveries and challenges of their first days with the help of some professional caregivers.

My kids are not allowed to watch [...]

I always say that my poor kids will probably need therapy for the disservice I am doing in not scrapbooking. I know all the other Mom’s make these amazing journals and keepsakes. I know that my kids will have to bring in a circus animal for show and tell in order to compete with their [...]

I recently received an advance copy of Helen Garabedian’s book Itsy Bitsy Yoga for Toddlers and Preschoolers with my kids. We really enjoyed the 8 minute routines, especially my four year old. If you and your child don’t enjoy this yoga collection, I’ll personally post a photo of myself in Downward Dog with my toddler [...]

While walking through the mall when my son was just an infant, I came upon an educational toy store and in there was a a fairly ugly and pretty large, bright yellow rubber horse cow dog donkey Rody. It is supposed to be a horse, but really has a very distinctive look. Being the [...]

This stroller, also known as “The Stroller That Set Us Free,” was the purchase which finally allowed us to go somewhere with our 20 month old and newborn twins. We had looked around and found that almost all of the triple stroller options that existed were simply way over-priced, at least for our budget.
But [...]

My son loves Winnie the Pooh. I never intentionally introduced him to Pooh because I never imagined he would be the type of kid to be interested in honey pots and a bouncing Tigger, but when we were at the library one morning he saw the video and grabbed it.
It is one year later and [...]

Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake was created by two moms who love to have fun and want young girls to dream. Their DVD inspires and stimulates young minds by challenging them to learn about classical ballet through music, laughter and nature. Two of our reviewers were recently offered the opportunity to view their DVD with [...]
