Hasbro Has the Hottest Holiday Gifts for Boys-Giveaway

November 25, 2016 by Kathryn 159 Comments

Every year when Christmas rolls around, my boys make a long wish list of all the gifts they’re hoping to find under the tree. And every year, there are fun-filled toys from Hasbro on that list! Hasbro has so many brands that my active boys love and if you’re on the hunt for the best Christmas gifts for your little men this year, these are my top toy choices!

NERF N-Strike Mega Mastadon Blaster

This battery-powered blaster is sure to provide hours of fun both indoors and out. My boys love the challenge of hitting a target with the bouncy NERF darts, so I’ll often set up a paper target outdoors and let them blast away to their heart’s content. This blaster is especially fun since it doesn’t use hand pumping to build air pressure. The blaster features a rotating drum that holds 24 NERF darts and motorized blasting action. When cold weather has my boys wanting to stay indoors, bundling them up, snapping on some safety goggles and pulling out these blasters is a sure-fire way to ensure they’ll get fresh air and exercise!

Betty Spaghetty Dolls and Little Live Pets Lil’ Frogs are Hot New Toys this Fall-Giveaway

October 27, 2016 by Kathryn 128 Comments

Looking for the hottest new toys for fall fun this year? Look no further! Just in time for the holidays, Little Live Pets and Betty Spaghetty have released some great new options for boys and girls alike. I’ve been a fan of the Little Live Pets line for ages now and every year, the company manages to expand on an already great collection to add new and fun animal toys for kids. This year, Little Live Pets is introducing the brand new and adorable Lil’ Frog that can hop and swim!

With two boys in the house, it goes without saying that this was one toy I knew would be a hit. The beauty of Little Live Pets is that they let kids experience a bit of the fun of having a pet, without us poor parents actually having to worry about making sure a live animal is fed and housed safely. The adorable Little Live Pets Lil’ Frog is the perfect example of that. It’s quite a bit bigger than a real frog and comes with fun accessories including its own floating lily pad (making the frog a perfect bathtub toy) and an aquarium. It’s the next best thing to having a real pet animal! [Read more…]

Stock Up on Children’s Clothing at the Souris Mini Boxing Day Sale

December 25, 2015 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

I’m a bit of a fashion lover and to my delight, both my boys have inherited that trait from me. But actually shopping for clothes just isn’t much fun for me or the kids. Dragging them through a crowded store to try on shirts and pants isn’t something any of us get excited about. Luckily, online boutiques mean that shopping can be a pleasure instead of a pain!

Souris Mini, a Quebec-based children’s clothing boutique, had everything I wanted in a kid’s clothing store. The selection was fabulous. The sizes were ideal for my boys. The fashions were trendy. And the prices were reasonable. Personally, the cuddly Nordic pajamas were a favourite with me, so both boys now have a pair on the way! [Read more…]

Peekaboo Beans Clothing Will Have Kids Excited about Clothes for Christmas

December 21, 2015 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

It’s a sad but true fact that even the most fashion-loving child often has a hard time getting excited about clothes at Christmas. With so many cool new toys, video games and treats filling store shelves, a new shirt or pair of pants just doesn’t seem as exciting by comparison. Unless, that is, the clothing is Peekaboo Beans clothing!

Peekaboo Beans is children’s clothing designed with children in mind. In addition to looking great, this clothing feels great too! Thick, comfortable fabric, easy-to-zip zippers and tagless designs combine to make the fashions clothes that kids actually get excited about! Recently Peekaboo Beans sent my boys each a new outfit so I could experience the clothing’s difference for myself.

Let Your Kids Get a Little Gross this Christmas with The Ugglys Pet Shop-Giveaway

December 7, 2015 by Kathryn 76 Comments

Do your kids prefer weird and gross to cute and cuddly? Do they laugh hysterically at rude noises and bad smells? Does just saying the word “fart” cause a reaction in your house? Then this Christmas, the perfect gift may just be The Ugglys Pet Shop toys! These bizarre pets may not seem lovable, but kids can’t get enough of their weird wackiness.

Recently I received an assortment of The Ugglys Pet Shop figurines and accessories to review, and with two school-aged boys in the house, I was pretty sure they’d be popular. I liked the collectible size of the pets and I have to admit that they really were pretty cute, in a gross way! Just like real pets, there were cats, dogs, birds, monkeys and lizards to choose from, all with their own unique style. [Read more…]
