Shape Mags 60 Piece “The Starter Set” ~ Magnetic Building Toys {Review}
Construction and building sets have been popular with kids forever. Starting as young as a few months old, our kids have loved seeing us stack their blocks and toys and then watch as they tumble down. As they continue to grow, their fascination broadens and they begin playing with construction toys on their own. As their skills change, they also develop a curiosity for challenges. One way to foster and encourage their growth is to offer a variety of skill demanding toys. However, that can Read more [...]

Adora Dolls ~ 18″ Friends Lola Doll + Outfit And Boots! {Review}

So with NCircle Entertainment's new August releases out, I was happy to add a couple more great options to our line up.

Peaceable Kingdom ~ Friends & Neighbors Game {Post 1} + Giveaway 9/24
Friendship, cooperation, and kindness are important characteristics we've always tried to instill in our children. Now more than ever, it's important for our family to focus on good character traits as we just welcomed three foster daughters into our home a couple weeks ago. While we don't know how long they will be with us, throwing an additional 8, 4, and 4 month old into the crazy mix of five kiddos (ages 2-11) that we already had is definitely challenging but also rewarding and fun. There Read more [...]
