I am so excited to be starting a new Christmas Tradition with my family this year. I have always heard about the “Christmas Pickle”, but without knowing anything about it our tree has been “pickle-less” for years. That was until my friend Denise introduced me to the Christmas Pickle Tradition. The Christmas Pickle Tradition comes...

Tinkertoys Snap Together & Stay Together. Win a 150-Piece Essentials Set!

by Denise

Do you remember Tinkertoys? I used to play with them constantly when I was a wee lass. Even if you never played with them yourself, I bet you’re familiar with them. They’re a classic!

Buying Christmas gifts is a lot of fun for me. I really enjoy gift-giving and seeing the smile on someone’s face when they’ve unwrapped a gift they love. One thing I don’t love is trying to figure out stocking stuffers. I know, it should be easy, right? For some reason I just can’t always find…

StikBot Turns Kids into Creative Animators! + Giveaway

by Denise

I have a long-standing love affair with movies of all kinds, but I have an especially soft spot for stop-motion movies.

I love interactive toys that inspire my kids’ imaginations to run wild, especially those that include building and creating from the ground up, so to speak.

Slide, Spin, & Battle with SkaZooms + Giveaway

by Denise

How many of you played with toy cars growing up? I sure did, particularly the small metal micro cars. My cousins and I would sit around for hours, racing our cars, running them on tracks, pretending they were capable of crushing each other, and launching them with rubber bands, among other things. If it was…

The Good Dinosaur Movie Review & Activity Sheets

by Denise

My family and I went to see “The Good Dinosaur” primarily because my kids had been begging to see it from the first time they saw the trailer on YouTube. I was expecting to like it, but I honestly wasn’t expecting to love it–yet I did. Disney Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur” takes place in an...
