Little Adventures for Little Ones – Review
One of the most adorable phases that I have experienced about having children, is watching them develop their little personalities within their own fantasy play! Watching them go from raging pirates to dainty princesses, brave knights to puppy dogs rolling about on the grass. It never ceases to amaze me at how creative they can become. That’s why I just LOVE the name of this gorgeous boutique! “Little Adventures” – I couldn’t have said it any better! The Little Adventures® Story In 2002, two moms discovered the lack of clothing quality dress-ups and princess costumes available for their children, they decided to take action. Jenny Harrison, mother of ten, and Heather…

Kidioke – Lullabye … Review
“Kidioke Media LLC sells and ships custom children’s sound books and has created an iPad / iPhone app for iOS. Kidioke has created these products with the hopes of getting the songs of “yester year” into the minds and hearts of children today. We have put a heavy focus on nostalgia and on harnessing history’s great artist’s works by taking the literal translation of their songs. We do our best to utilize songs that tell a story and pride ourselves on putting those literal translations into print and animation”. “Kidioke was created to have the parent and child interact in a way at bedtime never thought possible. We took great…

Little Tikes – Product Review
There is nothing more daunting than 4 months of snow. Trying to figure out creative ways to occupy children is enough to cause any mother to hide in her closet, while her minions release their pent up energy and destroy the home! Luckily for me Bettertoyz sent this mama some much needed time (sanity) savers by Little Tikes. We actually love the brand and already have 2 of their climbers, a pool and a water/sand play set. You can imagine the excitement in our house when the kids opened these wonderful surprises! The boys were absolutely enthralled with the Arcade and our girls spent hours in…

Children Make Christmas Magical – Book Review – The Night Before Christmas.
There is something quite wonderful about sharing Christmas with children! The unbridled excitement, the genuine belief in all things magical, the pure joy at every opened gift… watching children celebrate and enjoy Christmas is nothing short of spectacular! Their sense of awe and wonderment! Of innocent belief in something far greater than ourselves! Sure, Christmas has always been a special holiday for us, but since children have been added to the mix, it has become exciting again (for lack of a more “grown-up” word). Sharing the story of Christmas with them, watching the excitement grow each day as we peel another layer off our advent calendar! Watching them watching the tree being put together, and…

Not Only a Guilt Free Sanity Saver- KidloLand – Review
As a parent I often find myself overwhelmed by the amount of technology that my kids are exposed to. Seriously, when I was a kid I didn’t even know where to switch on the TV (because I hardly ever watched it), but my kids seem to know how to use “voice-activated” remote controls (who are these little tech-geniuses running around in my house?). We are bombarded by technological advance at every point. And it scares me a little, if I’m honest. What gets to me the most, is the undeniable and unavoidable truth that unless our children are tech savvy they will simply be ‘left behind’ in one of the…

Are You a MOMCHO?
Say what? What is a MOMCHO you ask? I’m almost positive that if you stop and think about it, you’ll realise that you know many MOMCHO’s. A MOMCHO is a mom who manages to overcome the daily challenges of mom-hood through a special combination of superpowers and super-prowess. Despite all odds, a MOMCHO might figure out how to get her kids to eat greens, do their homework or – gasp – even clean up after themselves. I have a feeling that you might have a lot of MOMCHOS in your community! Someone that appears a little like this maybe! #BestMessyMomcho ? Let me fill you in! Deep River Snacks has…

Dealing with Skin Conditions – Sebamed – Review
There are certain times during the year when my frustration levels rise for no other reason than simply what season it happens to be. You know what seasons I’m talking about… The gorgeous reds, oranges and yellows of Fall; and the splendid bursts of pink, blue and white during Spring, are tempered by those dreaded allergies and skin conditions that accompany these seasons! Sir and Mr HULK both have a light form of Eczema. Their itching sometimes drives me to the point of tears. Especially Mr HULK. Fortunately it’s not as bad as it could be. For that I am truly thankful! However when his skin is inflamed and sore…

Every Mama Deserves a Little Bling – Michael Hill Review
So, there was this one morning, OK, maybe its not one, but a few… When I felt a little like this! By 10 am the kids are off to school, little daisy is taking her nap. I still have my pj’s on, make about my 6th cup of coffee, and finally sit down in peace and quiet to read through the massive amount of emails before me. Scroll down, delete, repeat. Then I come across an email that piques my interest. Cue the big grin. I continue reading and the grin grows wider. After the first few lines I think: “What a sweet sweet lady! I like her already!” Her email…
