Egyptian Themed Laser Strategy Game
My husband bought this game for everyone for Christmas and not for the tots but for grown ups! He’s a total techie so I figured he was just into the gadgetry of the laser but it turns out this is a super cool game full of strategy – like chess without all the complicate rules! [...]

World’s Most Annoying Toys
Now that all the gifts are unwrapped and out for play for a week, I am ready to throw some of them out, namely these ones featured here. People who design these toys clearly do not have tots themselves, or they are hard of hearing. At the top of the list is the Hasbro Playskool [...]
Munchie Mug, New Spill Resistant Snack Cup
Yeah, sure, this is not the cutest contraption out there but if you are tired of sweeping up every 5 minutes and having your car look like the bottom of a trash can, then like me, you won’t care about aesthetics. We all have the Snack Trap, which is great for the responsible tots who [...]
Why You MUST HAVE A Birth Plan
Image courtesy of Canadian Family This holiday season was especially memorable and meaningful for me and my family because we welcomed Milo, my beautiful little nephew, to the mix.

Babisil Drying Rack

And seriously, you’re not going to bring an entire drying rack with you. I had a small dinky travel rack that required putting together [...]
Burberry Infant’s Dress Coat
This is nothing new or unusual about this coat, I’m just a sucker for these style of coats. If I had free will as a child (and, of course, independent income) this is how I would have dressed. So just to make sure I’m being a thoughtful and awesome mommy, I’m making sure my daughter [...]
I Golfini Tic Tac Toe Set
Sometimes, a lot of times actually, I need something easy to do with my tots. I will admit, there are those days when I am lazy physically and mentally. Sitting on the floor with a 100 piece puzzle set seems daunting on them said days. But a simple tic tac toe game is the perfect [...]

Christmas time usually means new toys and clothes for the tots. Like everyone else, ours end up with so much stuff, we run out of room to store it all and things slowly creep their way into the garage. Something like the Shelf Pod would come in handy. The zipper enclosure blocks out dust, mildew [...]
