Dressing up is fun all year long

CostumeDiscounterscomFairyCostume

I’ve officially hit the ‘I’m sick of winter’ phase and there are still a good 2 months left.  It can be so hard to find new ways to entertain a little one when it’s too cold to play outside - or snowy, or rainy and icy as it has been for so much of our . . . → Read More: Dressing up is fun all year long

MintedClassroomValentineCardProof

It seems like as soon as one holiday is over, there is another to look forward to!  With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away I’m starting to think of fun activities to do with Ashlyn and her little friends.

 There will be baking for sure – perhaps some sort of heart-shaped rice crispie . . . → Read More: Valentine’s Day Cards

My Memories (scrapbooking software giveaway)

MyMemories

 

I love traditional scrapbooking but I don’t have nearly enough time for it these days.  With a little girl who wants to ‘help’ and is very interested in crafts I can’t leave my products and pages out or who knows what I’ll find!  I’d heard about digital scrapbooking software  before but hadn’t . . . → Read More: My Memories (scrapbooking software giveaway)

Have  you heard about HEXBUG® Nano?  All of a sudden they seem to be everywhere!  They’re tiny (1.75 inches each) little micro robotic bugs that uses the physics of vibration to skitter along and explore its environment on smooth surfaces.  They can even flip from their back to their front and . . . → Read More: HEXBUG Nano for the holidays

We take a lot of pictures.  So many that Ashlyn hears the click and says “cheese” without bothering to look up from her craft or snack, and Rowan makes a mad army-crawl towards the camera as soon as she sees it!  I love having all of these memories documented, but our shelves are . . . → Read More: Elephoto ($50 gift card giveaway)

Kids need more than just toys, but try to convince them of that!  When I can find items that are practical but still fun I love to give them as gifts, and I think that the Kidorable Dragon Knight Collection would make a great gift for any little man  – and some . . . → Read More: Kidorable Dragon Knight Collection (giveaway)

Empire Theatres Holiday Program

GIFTCARDS_GiveAGift_300x88

We all have them – the “impossible to buy for” people on your holiday list.  For me it’s my brother-in-law’s family; they’re wonderful people but they never seem to need or want anything – and I’m sure they say the same thing about us!  We’re all fortunate enough to have more than enough . . . → Read More: Empire Theatres Holiday Program

Find Uncommon Gifts at Uncommon Goods

Stocking Stuffers are so much fun to buy, and yet can be the hardest gift at the same time!  Do you go random, or practical – and do they really have to fit in the stocking?  I tend to do a little of both, and then pile everything around and under the . . . → Read More: Find Uncommon Gifts at Uncommon Goods

Take a Tea Moment this holiday (giveaway)

LibreTeaLogo1

Now that the season is definitely turning to winter, I’m turning to a nice hot mug of tea in the afternoons to warm my hands and remind myself to take a moment to myself – a “tea moment”, as Libre Tea calls them.  I have a fairly new-found love of loose . . . → Read More: Take a Tea Moment this holiday (giveaway)

I love toys that can also teach my girls something.  The Lamaze Cowgirl Carly Activity Doll helps toddlers and young children develope their fine motor skill development through play: your little one can help Carly button her vest, tie her scarf, buckle her belt, zip up one boot or fasten the other boot.  I remember looking . . . → Read More: Hot Holiday Toys from Learning Curve (Chuggington giveaway)
