Winner - Gladys P.! There have been a lot of firsts for Emma in her two years.  The first time she laughed, her first step, the first successful potty trip.  But yesterday I was reminded that there are many more exciting firsts to experience with my little girl, despite the fact that she seems to be growing up so fast.  Yeterday was the first day she actually played a game with me, it was the MEGA Bloks Domino Build Game. This game teaches colors, numbers, animals, matching and motor … [Read more...]

IMG_2618.jpg

Gift idea for: Toddlers 12 months – 3 years (Winner – Jessica) One of Emma’s favorite things to do is to drag pull toys behind her in circles throughout the house.  From the kitchen, to the foyer, through the living/dining room and back again.  It’s even more fun for her when her daddy and I follow her single file with our own pull toys, which is why I’m going to need some serious physical therapy for my back sometime soon. Another favorite toy she loves is the ride on, and … [Read more...]

Merry Christmas, Olivia DVD (Review)

September 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The only channel we ever watch with Emma is Nickelodeon.  They have all of the toddler-appropriate shows that Emma loves, and now that she’s branching out from her old standby, we’ve been enjoying the child pig with endearing qualities and a vivid imagination, Olivia. The show deals with childhood challenges and dramas that little preschoolers can relate to, and the show has a catchy theme song too.  Olivia: Merry Christmas, Olivia is coming soon to DVD.  It features a … [Read more...]

Go, Diego, Go!: Diego’ Ultimate Rescue League (Review)

September 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I just finally installed the portable DVD player in the car since we live ‘out in the woods’ and nothing is right around the corner.  I’ve been adding to Em’s collection of DVDs to keep her entertained while we’re driving for when she starts to get restless.  Go, Diego, Go! is one of the show she engages with when at home, so I knew that Diego's Ultimate Rescue League would be a big hit.  Her favorite part is the intro, and she repeats the “oooh, ahhh!” sounds that … [Read more...]

August 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Contest Closed—Congrats to Lona W.!My daughter’s latest obsession is what some might call “boy things”.  Trucks, planes and helicopters, she’s amazed by them all.  Especially the helicopters.  She’s shaping up to be a little tomboy just like her mama was.  She gasps and says “whoa!”, when she sees something, anything, flying in the sky.  When I saw the helicopter tee in the dadoo kids shop, I knew that was the one that matched my little one’s … [Read more...]

Izzie n Friends Girl’s Dresses (Review & Giveaway)

July 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Contest ClosedI’ve mentioned that I was an art major in college, and one of the many projects I worked on while in school was creating batiks.  It was only a one-time deal, but I’ve been wanting to try it again ever since.  The art of batik is by no means easy, which is why I have a greater appreciation for the entire batik line at Izzie n Friends.  Of course, there are other types of gorgeous dresses offered at Izzie n Friends.  I just love adore the traditional smocked … [Read more...]

Toddler Bed Anxiety

July 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Over the weekend, we met up with friends who are expecting their first baby in a few months’ time.  Earlier in the day, they were working on their registry, so baby gear quickly became one of the main topics of discussion.  The mommy-to-be was quizzing us on few matters, one of them being beds.  More specifically, when does a child move from the crib to a toddler bed, and what’s the difference between toddler beds and twin beds?   We didn’t have a clear answer for … [Read more...]
