Easter is approaching quickly and if you walk into any store you are immediately greeted with rows and rows of sugary candy and stuffed animals. Bunny overload! Your typical Easter baskets usually are filled to the brim with chocolate bunnies and eggs, jelly beans, and marshmellow-y goodies. Believe me, there is nothing wrong with some sugar (said the pregnant lady!) but if you want to stay clear from all the junky foods this year, here are a few alternative ideas that will make the Easter Bunny look great. The last thing we need this Sunday is the holiday sugar rush…
Daydream Toy Doodle-Track Car Review!
0Is it normal for a toddler girl to be infatuated with toy cars? I think so! I know I used to have a little collection of Matchbox cars – along with all my dolls and Barbies When DayDream Toy sent me their best selling Doodle-Track Car, both my little one and I were super excited. You can draw your own track or print out some really cool designs on their website for the red car to race around. Little did I know there was more to this sweet looking car than meets the eye. Using its special marker, you can…
A Plea To Nickelodeon
0For the love of God, Nickelodeon! Where are the ‘Bubble Guppies’ merchandise?! It has been over a year that my lil girl has been obsessed with these mermaid people. She gets into what I call the “Bubble Guppies Trance”. As soon as she hears the ever intoxicating theme song begin, she takes her place in front of the T.V. for the entire 20-something minutes its on with a glazed look over her face and does not move. Well, until they start singing a song she likes and begins to dance. She’s cool like that. Some of you might remember my open…
Review: Fisher-Price Apptivity Case
0If you have a phone, you know that babies have some weird fascination with them. Probably the most expensive teething toy my daughter has. I have gone through 4 cases thanks to drool infestation and droppage. So when it comes to my iPad, I am a bit more protective. But she loves it just as much as the phone and actually knows how to use it already. Scary. For her 1st birthday, a good friend got her probably the coolest gift EVER: the Fisher-Price iPad Apptivity Case. It is pretty awesome. What it is is this crazy, kid-friendly case that…
I Hate You, Ugly Toy Pile.
0I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the fact I’ve been gone all weekend and away from my house or that it’s freaking Monday, but I hate everything today. I woke up, looked around my room and wanted to vomit. I walked past the laundry room and saw the over flowing dirty clothes bin. Ew. I immediately slammed the door shut so I never have to see it again. Then I walk downstairs and spot this: An ugly,disorganized pile of toys. I thought that wicker basket was the best idea back when I bought it on one of my…
WTF Nickelodeon
0If my daughter is in one of her “moods” (like she is at this very moment) and I’ve tried EVERYTHING to talk her down from the bratty ledge that shes on, there is usually only one thing that will ultimately work – “The Bubble Guppies”. If you are not familiar with these little guppies, its a show on Nickelodeon or Nick Jr (I’m still trying to figure out all these channels) and it has saved my sanity on many of occasions. It follows the adventures of 6 little merbabies/guppies – not entirely sure what they are but she absolutely LOVES…
A Toy Every Baby Should Have…
0After Christmas, Baby A’s toy collection has grown immensely. Shes obsessed with all of them, but mostly loves Violet, the stuffed bear by LeapFrog. That thing is awesome. You plug it into the computer and can personalize it to your baby’s name, favorite songs, foods, and animals. Its really cute how excited they get when they hear a song with their name in it. I know what your thinking, this is awfully similar to a cheesy mom post that I tend to stray from…but I’ve been feeling very sentimental these days thanks to the fact my lil 9 month old…
The Party’s Over.
0You all warned me that this time would come. I didn’t want to believe it. I tried to trick myself that this would last for years, but it didn’t. Remember the most incredibly amazing, greatest baby jumping invention I so lovingly praised? Baby A is starting to become very bored of her jumper and I couldn’t be more upset! WTF am I going to do when I need some “me” time (me time = cleaning)??! She has been crawling for a few months, but now its all she wants to do. Crawl around and stand. Crawl some more, and stand…
