This is a sponsored post from DinoDirect.com. They asked me to tell you about this product and their site in my own words. Magnets are a wildly popular toy for everyone from kids to adults. People post all kinds of videos on YouTube showing what they make with magnet sets, who knew? DinoDirect.com has a 216 piece Magnetic Balls Toy that makes pretty much anything you can imagine. Photos on their site show pencil and pen caddies, business card holders, crown and coffee mug sculptures, even pretend eyeglass frames! I decided there HAD to be a video on YouTube showing someone making something with this set, and sure enough, I found it. Here's a cool demo that starts with little triangles, joins them up to make flower shapes, then combines those into a six-sided triangle box: Each of the Magnetic Balls in the set is strong enough to hold papers to your fridge by itself, so imagine how strong they are when combined! I'm already thinking ahead to Father's Day - these would be … [Read more...]

CLOSED - Congratulations to the winner, comment #49 from Monique! edited to add: Thank you, everyone who came here from Prizey, for making this giveaway a Prizey Pick! The Wumblers are the creation of Laura Wellington, mother of FIVE (congratulations on the new baby!) who used two tragedies to create a world of characters who learn about positive social and global messages while also having fun together. Her Wumblers Patch Store carries board games, books, CDs, DVDs, plush toys, puzzles, and even an iPhone app with a watermelon seed spitting game.  Laura sent Kaitlyn a Baby Girl Wumbler that she absolutely loves, as well as an Alphabet game. The Wumbler comes inside a fabric watermelon, you unzip it and turn it right-side-out, and it's a plush baby Wumbler wearing a satiny diaper! Seriously, so cute: From the site: Laura Wellington, a mother and former teacher, created The Wumblers series and The Wumbler Patch brand to help her own four children cope with the three … [Read more...]

Kaitlyn needs a plane ticket. And a passport.

Littlest Pet Shop playsets come with a little booklet that shows all the pets you can collect, with convenient check-off boxes so you can make sure you are being the BEST PARENT YOU CAN BE by buying your child every single pet. Kaitlyn has been carrying one around since Christmas Day, studying it thoroughly and occasionally thrusting it under my nose saying "can I get THIS ONE? Pleeeeeeaaasssseeeeeee?"  It doesn't matter that she got eleventy-billion Littlest Pet Shop toys for her birthday and Christmas, she needs more. It's the American way, after all. So, I was poking around various websites looking at LPS toys, and I found one that I knew she would love, the Playful Paws Pet Daycare. I was about to click "add to cart" when I realized I was on the U.K. version of the Littlest Pet Shop site. Kaitlyn, who was of course looking over my shoulder, started wailing when I clicked away from the site to go to hasbro.com to look for the playset there. Kaitlyn (wailing loudly): why are … [Read more...]
