Hungry Hungry Hippos Game Review

hungry-hungry-hippo-review

Last year we purchased the Hungry Hungry Hippos game. In my mission to review Christmas toys, I thought I review this classic toy along with 2 videos and pics. I feel some of the reviews on Amazon are harsh, so I wanted to help you make up your mind about this toy. It’s a classic! Just buy it! Seriously, we love this toy. Yes, there are a couple of annoying things about this game, but the fun and joy we {Read More}

Sophie the Giraffe Review

sophie-giraffe-reviews-amazon

I purchased Sophie the Giraffe when my daughter was 9 months old. I purchased a coupon through Eversave that brought the normal price of Sophie from 20 something dollars to less than $10. I was thrilled to find her at such a great price because I thought I found the toy that would save my daughter and I! My daughter was teething. The Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether reviews on Amazon were over the top positive about Sophie! I read {Read More}

Fisher Price Monkey Bouncer Review: Lights and Vibrates

fisher-price-bouncer-lights

Recently, I purchased the Fisher-Price Deluxe Monkey Bouncer for my 1 month old baby. I chose this bouncer in particular because I wanted a bouncer with lights. We use to own the Fisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer, which also has lights. Unfortunately that bouncer broke during a move. To be different, we went with the monkey bouncer instead of buying the rainforest bouncer again. Now since I’ve had three babies, I realized I should have just invested in Babies R Us stock {Read More}

Scratched Leapfrog Leappad Screen: Blame the Stylus

leapfrog-leappad-explorer-scratched

  I think I am about to be sick. The Leapfrog Leappad Explorer’s screen is completely ruined due to removing the battery compartment like Leapfrog recommended. THERE ARE SEVERAL UPDATES BELOW, AND HELPFUL INFO! I just wrote an excellent review about the Leappad because it was so durable, which it is; however, the screen obviously couldn’t take sharp objects. Unfortunately, the tip of the stylus broke and left the pen sharp at the end. If you look closely at the {Read More}

Best Sunscreen for Babies, Kids, and Proper Sunblock Usage

best-sunscreen-kids-babies

It’s that time of year again. We just booked our summer beach vacation, so I am on the hunt for the best sunscreen/sunblock for my kids. I found some recommendations for sunblock usage at a pediatrician’s website, which I listed below. I also used Healthy Children as a source, which is partnered with the American Academy of Pediatrics. I am not a doctor, so ask your pediatrician if you have any questions. It is recommended to use a sunscreen with {Read More}

Amazon Prime Membership, Benefits, and Free Trial

amazon-prime-free-trial

Yesterday we made the move to sign up for Amazon Prime. In the past we’ve had the Amazon Prime free trial, but now we plan to pay for Amazon Prime each year for the benefits. The reason we signed up is because we do not have cable. With Amazon Prime, you get the benefit of instant streaming of TV shows and movies. We plan to discontinue Netflix because we feel that Amazon Instant is a great replacement for Netflix since {Read More}

Indoor Activities for Kids: Using a Tack Set to Refine Fine Motor Skills

  To kick off my blog, I thought I would start my first series highlighting indoor activities parents can do with the kids. I think it is important to find quality activities that you can do with your child everyday in addition to reading books. Many times we are stuck in the house, and I run out of ideas of things to do. This series will hopefully help me and you come up with ideas on those rainy days! I {Read More}

leapfrog-leappad-tablet-games-app

For Christmas, both of my children received the Leapfrog Leappad Explorer Learning Tablet. My 4 year old son has the green LeapFrog LeapPad, and my daughter has the purple LeapFrog LeapPad. To make a long story short, my mother and I were both trying to buy my son a Leappad for Christmas. Due to the limited availability and shortage, we each purchased one on the same day without knowing the other person did. So, we gave the purple Leappad to {Read More}

Cars 2 Tokyo Spinout Track Set Review

cars-2-toys-race-track

Today I am going to review the Cars 2 Tokyo Spinout Track Set. I am shocked how cheap you can get it on Amazon right now. Yesterday I saw it on sale for $5.99 before shipping. Unfortunately today it is back to $14.49 (free shipping!). My son got this Cars 2 Race Track for Christmas. We have owned two other race tracks, and I must say this one is a keeper. We have thrown out another one we purchased because {Read More}
