    Happy Birthday Scavenger Hunt

    November 26, 2020 / No Comments

    Here’s an easy way to cope with birthdays this year. Why not give a birthday scavenger hunt a try? Tenth Birthday Celebrations When both of my girls turned ten, we did some amazing fun things to celebrate their birthdays. Together, with my entire family we took my oldest girl to Disney and the Kennedy Space Centre. My youngest got tickets to see Katie Perry in concert with us. But, before we gave her the tickets we did a birthday scavenger hunt. Hidden Clues I hid clues around the house and they led her on a quick tour to find the next clue. One by one she turned them over and…

    The Proof is in the Laundry – Birthday Cake Fail

    July 25, 2018 /

    This post has been sponsored by OxiClean and I received compensation.  The proof is in the pudding. Or in this case the birthday cake plus laundry stain remover. Let me back it up a second. This story starts with a birthday party and ends with laundry. Doesn’t every real-life story eventually end with laundry and stains? Travel ends in memories and laundry. School ends in smarter children and laundry. Play equals laundry. Work also equals laundry. See what I mean? Everything ends in laundry. But I digress. June and July here are party months. Birthday party months that is. From June on we have a series of birthdays, anniversaries and…

    April 5, 2017 /

    For the first year ever I am publishing a Spring gift guide. I often publish a Christmas gift guide, but this season spring is knocking my socks off. Numerous great products have already caught my eye and I want to share them here. Spring is the perfect time to get outdoors. Spring is Easter and birthday parties and eventually even longer days that lead to summer. It’s fun family gatherings and bike rides and hikes and spring gifts too. Many of the products featured here this spring, are quirky, creative and new. They make great presents for any number of occasions. BUT I like a few of these specifically as…

    Znapeez – My Favourite Teen or Tween Gift of the Year #TMMGG16

    December 7, 2016 /

    Znapeez arrived here a few days ago and we are all loving this crafty toy. This crafty toy is not like anything you have seen before. With this ingenious toy designed for tweens, children can get creative with a snap. It’s designed to be easy to use, easy to create, and hard to put away. Znapeez is easy and fun, and that’s really the ticket when it comes to a gift that keeps the kids excited and engaged. Znapeez – Fashion and Fun for Boys and Girls What I really love about the Znapeez line is its versatility. Nothing is permanent unless they want it to be. Whatever they make comes apart…

    Playmobil WaterPark Set Makes Summer Fun

    June 17, 2016 /

    The Playmobil Waterpark is one of my favourite new summer toys this year. Playmobil waterpark with slides will have kids flocking to your yard for creative play this season. This new, cheery and colourful set can be used both indoors and out. Summer is a great time to find the kids outdoors enjoying the weather, the parks, and people’s backyards. One of the things I love about summer is that children are often motivated to get outside because the weather is so nice. Even so, in the summer months I love to have some indoor and outdoor toys on hand for my kids and any others who come to visit, so…

    A Bubble Soccer Birthday

    March 24, 2016 /

    Birthdays come once a year, whether you are ready for them or not. But by the time your child is a tween, let’s face it, the ideas are starting to run thin. You’ve likely already done the children’s museum birthday, the McDonald’s birthday, the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club, the movie theatre. Maybe there was a princess or pirate birthday party thrown in there a time or two and a climbing gym too. Well, move over overdone theme parties, Bubble Soccer is the perfect idea for your teen or tween birthday. My youngest daughter likes to plan her birthday parties months in advance of the event itself. In fact as soon as Christmas has…

    Chrono Bomb Game is the Perfect Present for Your Spy In Training #TMMGG2015

    November 12, 2015 /

    I spied the Chrono Bomb game this past summer at a toy show in New York City and it screamed Ainsley’s name to me as I walked by, so I struck up a conversation with the person representing Patch Products and told her all about this girl of mine. Back when Ainsley was about 8 and we were living in our old house, she would grab string, or yarn from the closet and string it all over her room creating an elaborate web of lasers so that she had to limbo and contort her body just to get into the room. She has always been that kind of girl. Massive…
