I’m glad I did because I learned about many products that are sure to be big hits with the grade schoolers and tweens this holiday season.

Giveaway: Tonka Road Crew Roadway Rigs
OH YEAH! Toys for boys! Hey, just because I don’t have boys of my own doesn’t mean I don’t like them. You’re talking to a girl who grew up with seven older brothers and no sisters! I have played with my fair share of Tonka trucks and Star Wars action figures. And G.I. Joe? Pccchhh! Who [...]

Giveaway: Fossil Fighters Champions for Nintendo DS
Alright, this one is for all of the young, aspiring archaeologists out there. Fossil Fighters Champions for Nintendo DS is quite an adventure. Kids find and clean dinosaur bones and use the fossils to create and bring to life “vivosaurs” to send to battle. The more clean the dinosaur bones, the stronger the vivosaur. The goal is [...]

Lovable Labels
Having a daughter who’s been shifted from babysitters to two different preschools to kindergarten over the past five years, it’s been important for us to make sure her belongings are labeled. Belongings such as: shirts, pants, shoes, lunch bags, backpacks, hats, gloves…are ya pickin’ up what I’m puttin’ down? Everything. Every item needs to have [...]

Big Kid Life Apps from Fingerprint
We love exploring new apps for our iPhones, especially the ones that entertain our kids. That being said, I’m pretty happy that Fingerprint has been brought to my attention. Two of the apps in the Big Kid Life series (there are five apps in the series) that we’ve been exploring have been quit exceptional. Great [...]

Giveaway: Holiday DVD Gift Sets from Lionsgate
Suddenly, I am consumed by the holiday spirit. Maybe it’s because I put up our tree the other day. It’s got to be that. Or the girls. The girls make everything so exciting. My youngest has already visited with Santa’s helper and my oldest has already written out her Christmas list. I hope I can [...]

My Rooster is using the Little Looster for the Loo
I don’t generally show off my loo on the internet but this is a special circumstance. Notice the curved stool in the above photo. That is the Little Looster. That thing is awesome and I’ll tell you why. When I was introduced to the Little Looster, I needed to have one and most definitely wanted to [...]

The tag*a*long. Now I don’t mind if they do.
Earlier this Fall (is it still Fall?), I was sent the tag*a*long. I was excited to check it out because I have one, usually two, tag-along’s. Seems like I’m always trying to round up one or the other…or both. The older one is bouncing off of me and we’re tripping over each other because she’s [...]

1-2-3 Shoe Buddies
We were sent a set of Shoe Buddies to check out right before the 6 year old started kindergarten. It just so happens that a family member gifted our little school girl with a brand new pair of Skechers Twinkle Toes. The lace-up kind. Oof! Ok, I thought. Now is as good a time as [...]

Driving Ms. Chevy Volt
We had the opportunity to drive around a Chevy Volt for about a week. I can’t hide it. I love that car. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun driving or riding in a car. In a nutshell, I basically want to tell you that: a) the Chevy Volt is a smart, energy [...]
