I remember babysitting my nieces and nephews all through the 1990s and playing with Floam and Gak from Nickelodeon. It was crazy fun, the kids loved it, we all enjoyed it, and now, Nickelodeon’s Floam and Gak are back… and they’re better than ever! Completely reformulated to make playtime and clean-up a cinch for a [...]
I have another “guest” review from my son’s preschool teacher. Mrs. O is a certified special education teacher who is the head teacher in the Peer Model Preschool Program at our local elementary school. She’s been doing some reviews of Learning Resources‘ learning games and sensory products for me and has just sent me some feedback [...]
We’ve already been using Fairy Tales Hair Care products for about a year now. We “met” the brand with their Rosemary Repel line- an all natural lice repelling hair care line. With 2 kids enrolled in our local elementary school, this is something I like to keep on top of. Now that all three of [...]

I’m pretty impressed at their longevity- they are [...]

Having safe car seats for our children is something that is extremely crucial to both my husband and myself. We’ve spent hours researching different seats, different brands, etc. I’ve always heard such great things about the Radian line of carseats, and have recommended them to others based upon dozens of friends’ experiences, but hadn’t tried [...]
The Little Tikes Cupcake Kitchen is a whole lot of sweetness in a compact package. With the smaller profile of this kitchen, it can easily be slipped into any sized room for hours of pretend play. The muted colors suit our living room far better than our former play kitchen (which now lives in the [...]
Moon Dough Ocean Pals are cute, fun, and, to my (pleasant) surprise, not super messy. Moon Dough has a reputation for being tons of fun and also…tons of mess. That typically means that it is an outside toy for us, played with on rainy summer days on the screen porch…although with the new formula for [...]
My 4 year old attends a Peer Model Preschool Program at our local elementary school. One of the things I love the most about this program is that all of the children are treated equally, and the special needs of the children are incorporated into the entire classroom. Some of the children have sensory issues, [...]
