Little People with BIG Influence
My daughter’s Christmas wish list last year had Novi Stars right at the top of it. I didn’t really know a lot about them, and I was surprised when I found them in the store. They weren’t the typical fashion doll or baby doll that she normally asked for. These little alien dolls are very unique! Keep slumber parties fun and bright with Novi Stars™, alien girls on a galactic mission to meet new friends, try new things and find {Read More}
What is more fun than acting out one of your favourite television shows while you watch? Not much, if you ask my five year old. He absolutely loves to be a part of the action, and when we were sent these Octonauts toys to try out, he was absolutely thrilled. The largest piece of the collection is Fisher-Price Disney’s Octonauts Octopod Playset. Griffin liked this one the best, but the shark ship was a close second. I liked the Octonauts {Read More}
Every parent has a favourite piece of baby equipment or toy that their child loved. For me it was a Fisher Price Stand’n Ride Duo stroller. My two youngest children both have a muscle disorder that makes it hard for them to walk for long distances. When Griffin was a baby, Avery was nearly 5 and too old to be riding in a double stroller, but not able to walk very far either. The Stand’n Ride gave her a chance {Read More}
My son was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and for the next few weeks his diet is very limited, which means he can’t have chocolate for Easter. I know, this sounds really cruel but it is in his best interest and we have done our best to explain it to him so he understands. There are still some sweet treats that he can enjoy, but for the most part we will be filling his basket for other items. Hasbro {Read More}

We love the movies. It’s rare that a day will go by without watching at least one movie and it is so much more fun when the kids can act out the movie with their favourite toys! Thinkway Toys knows that children love to play with their favourite movie characters, and they make it extra fun with these awesome toys! Toy Story characters have been living under my roof since the first movie was released. We have Woody, Jessie, Ken, {Read More}
When entertaining groups of children, my biggest challenge is how to keep them all busy and entertained for the duration of the party or play date. Kids often have short attention spans, and when there are several kids of different ages and genders, it’s hard to find activities that they all like! LEGO DUPLO solved that problem! They sent us everything we needed to throw a party that the kids would enjoy, including… Six sets of LEGO DUPLO activity pages {Read More}
While I don’t instill gender roles in my children (I’ve bought all of my boys dolls and with four brothers, my daughter is constantly surrounded by cars, soldiers and superhero movies), they seem to be drawn to certain toys that are stereotypically for their own genders. Avery has been a girly-girl since the day she was born. Despite having no sisters and a mother who prefers black to pink, she has always had a preference for pink frilly things and {Read More}
When I love a movie, I can watch it over and over and over again, and in the case of the Lord of the Rings…I can’t get enough of it. It had been a little while since I had watched the movies when The Hobbit was released. We saw it in the opening week, and I loved it. I’ve even been back to see it a second time, and to feed my obsession in the meantime I watched (again) all {Read More}
