Treat Your Little Girl to a Night Out at My Little Pony: The Movie-Giveaway

September 29, 2017 by Kathryn 190 Comments

My five nieces vary in age quite a bit. The oldest is ten and the youngest is only one year old. They have lots of different interests and lots of different talents. But all of them, at one time or another, absolutely loved My Little Pony. The colourful, friendly talking horses are ones I adored myself as a child and watching my nieces shows me that not much has changed since my own childhood days.

Now, the ponies are coming to the big screen to delight young and old fans alike. Wondering just what to expect from My Little Pony: The Movie? Check out the trailer to help get your little ones revved up for the big debut!

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!

December 15, 2014 by Kathryn 229 Comments

No matter what toys are on my boys’ wish list when the holidays roll around, there’s one item that’s always on my wish list…Duracell batteries. At least one or two of the presents my boys receive are sure to need batteries and I can trust Duracell to provide power that lasts all through Christmas. From video game controllers to remote control cars, the most popular toys always seem to be the ones that need batteries!

This year, Duracell teamed up with Hasbro to let me test out one of the hottest toys of the holiday season, along with the Duracell Quantum batteries to power it. The Transformers: Age of Extinction Chomp & Stomp Grimlock is sure to be a favourite with any Transformers fans in the household and with two boys to shop for, this toy was a must on my list!

KRE-O Transformers: Age of Extinction Building Sets are Perfect for Summer Fun-Giveaway #BuildKREO

July 4, 2014 by Kathryn 50 Comments

When I was a child, the highlight of my week used to be sitting down on Saturday to watch the Transformers cartoon. So when the first hit movie was released in 2007, I saw it as soon as I could. But while I love the movies, I think what I love even more about the new Transformers franchise is that Zackary and Benjamin enjoy the characters as much as I do!

Now, with Transformers: Age of Extinction recently released in theatres, my boys and I are all in the mood for some Transformers fun, and KRE-O is here to help with the brand new KRE-O Transformers: Age of Extinction building sets! Zackary loves building KRE-O sets and Benjamin loves playing with his brother once the sets are complete, so I always know a new building set will always result in hours of entertainment.

If you have kids that love Angry Birds in your house, you’re probably already familiar with the huge collection of Angry Birds toys, games and merchandise available. But now, birds and pigs are facing off in a whole new way with Angry Birds GO! Telepods! These fun new sets feature race tracks and karts that power through obstacles in a mission to beat the pigs once and for all. Even better, the sets include a Telepods base that lets you teleport your kart into the new Angry Birds GO! App for even more fun!

I received the Angry Birds GO! Telepods Pig Rock Raceway set to review and I knew my oldest son, a huge fan of both Angry Birds and racing, would absolutely love it. The set contains two karts featuring favourite Angry Birds characters, a track, three pig heads and the Telepods base. We set up the track and got racing!

Every year, one of my favourite holiday moments is flipping through toy catalogues with my boys and checking out some of the newest and best toys available. And invariably, Hasbro has a collection of must-have toys that get my boys absolutely giddy about the upcoming holidays.

This year is no exception and I was so excited when I got a chance to check out a few of the best toys for boys from Hasbro. For younger children, the Playskool Heroes Optimus Prime Rescue Trailer is sure to be a hit. Featuring an Optimus Prime Transformer that easily converts into a Semi Truck and a trailer designed to hold four Rescue Bots vehicles, it is designed to inspire hours of creative play. I love the way that these superhero-themed toys have been redesigned by Playskool for younger children so that even preschool boys can have the fun of playing with their favourite heroes.

Power Your Child’s Christmas with Duracell Quantum Batteries-Giveaway

November 22, 2013 by Kathryn 161 Comments

If there’s an unsung hero on Christmas morning, it has to be the humble battery. Without a good supply of batteries in the house, the best present in the world becomes a frustration as eager children impatiently wait to play with the toy they’ve been dreaming about for weeks. I have to admit, there’s been the odd time that I’ve forgotten about batteries for one of my boys’ presents or, even worse, misread the package and not bought enough batteries! So this time I am stocking up early to make sure we’re ready to power up Christmas morning!

Fortunately, this year there’s Duracell Quantum, the world’s most advanced alkaline battery. Duracell Quantum has been specially engineered to offer long-lasting power so that your child will be able to enjoy hour after hour of fun on Christmas morning. And with DURALOCK technology, those batteries will still be charged up and ready to use even after up to ten years in storage! [Read more…]
