When Moon Dough first came out a few years ago I quickly scooped up a box and although it was a lot of fun the product left much to be desired. For one thing it was very messy and the dough didn’t stick all that well when it was used in the [...]

We presently live about an hour away from my husband’s work (a.k.a. civilization) and although we have really enjoyed the small town we currently live in we miss being closer to the city (both of us having grown up in Miami-I don’t think we can help ourselves very much.) So whenever we want to do anything other than going to the movies or Wal-Mart we’ve got to make the trek into the Metro D.C. area. We recently did just that in order to have a fun summer afternoon at a local water park and because the drive was over an hour my boys can get bored and are notorious for getting car sick. I’ve learned to be prepared for both situations. Continue reading On The Road Art A few weeks ago I introduced Pop On Pals to my two year old, Evan. As I opened the box he squealed with delight and couldn’t wait for me to find the scissors to open the box before he began playing with it (see photo below). Evan doesn’t normally enjoy toys for his age group, preferring instead to play with his older brother’s (age six) toys. I can’t really blame him, his cars, and legos are very entertaining. I am happy to report that Evan actually played with his Amusement Park and continues to do so almost daily. His favorite part is the roller coaster (I’m not surprised) and he also enjoys putting his little pal on the ferriss wheel for a spin. Puzzles are a favorite of mine and I’m happy to say that my boys enjoying putting them together with me. Not only do they offer an excellent learning opportunity but they are a great thing to have on days when it’s either too hot, cold, rainy, or inconvenient to play out of doors. Puzzles [...] Yesterday I found out that Just Dance (the dancing video game) was hosting a talent search. The winner will get to be featured on their next video game and win a trip to Paris! I couldn’t help myself. I had to enter. I thought I may pass out afterward as I’ve still got [...] My son Evan is obsessed completely and whole-heartedly with the little action figures that come with his older brother’s legos. He usually can be found with at least one of them in hand. They go everywhere with him. Just the other day he wanted to bring one into the bath, sure enough the little [...] Photo: www.barbie.com Every time I pass a Barbie I look at her with longing affection. I’m pretty sure if I had a mirror I’d see a faraway look in my eye-because I almost always recollect my days with this wonderful icon. What? You didn’t know that I played with Barbie up until I [...] So many toys today are great. I especially love toys that build imagination, encourage creativity, and are battery-less. K’NEX is one of those toys. K’NEX is a building system whose pieces are flexible that enable your little builder to create whatever they want in both 2-D and 3-D formats. Team Mom recently sent me [...] Photo – Getty Images French shoe designer Christian Louboutin-known and drooled upon for his five inch red soled stilettos has reportedly said (to Women’s Wear Daily Magazine) that before Barbie can don a pair of his shoes she needs to loose some weight–around her ankles that is. Yes folks. You read right. Barbie [...] |
