Since 1984, Aerobie® has been making sports toys to encourage fun with physical activity. Their products include all sorts of flying rings, discs, Squidgies, footballs, and more. The Aerobie® Pro Ring was used to break the Guinness World Record of the "longest throw of an object without any velocity-aiding feature" (Erin Hemmings threw it 1,333 feet!). We recently received an Aerobie® Sprint Ring to try out and see how much fun we could have ...

Totseat: The Squashable, Washable, Portable Highchair (Review)
My family likes to eat out occasionally, but we often have a hard time at restaurants when we need to use a highchair. We also visit family and friends from time to time and find ourselves worrying about where to seat the baby during mealtimes. The solution for us? A Totseat, the portable fabric highchair, because it can make virtually any chair into a highchair. I couldn’t wait to try the Totseat with my 19-month-old who wants to sit ...
Mega Bloks Thomas & Friends Busy Day at the Quarry (Review)
The Mega Bloks package could not have arrived at a more opportune time to be enjoyed to the fullest at my house. My family has been living for more than 3 weeks with minimal household items and toys while we wait to move into our next house -- so the boys felt like it was Christmas in May to receive a fun Thomas & Friends Busy Day at the Quarry (ages 3 and up) buildable playset for their review. My 7-year-old immediately set out to work ...

Who's afraid of the monster in the closet? Not my Luke! He recently received a ScareMeNot plush monster toy for review and has had a ball playing with "Knock-Out-Ned" day and night. Knock-Out-Ned is special because he has a boxing glove to knock out any scary monsters that might come along and try to frighten Luke at night. He also has plenty of eyeballs - 3 on each foot, one big one on his hand, and the huge one on his face. Nothing gets by ...
A Proud Mother of Sons
Disclaimer: This is an entry to the Proud Mom contest, I'm in the running to win $50! Sponsored by UPrinting event ticket printing services! Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that one day I would be the mother to an all-boy family. I have always loved pink, flowers, makeup, smelly lotions, skirts and dresses, pretty much all the typico al girly things -- so of course, I assumed that at least one of my future children would be a ...

Recent Win: TagsMania Toy (Parents: Check These Out!)
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to win a TagsMania plush tag toy giveaway on another blog. I had originally entered so that if I did win, I'd have a fun, NEW (not hand-me-down) toy to give to the baby I'm expecting later this month. Fast forward to me opening the TagsMania box in front of my 18-month-old son. He immediately started laughing and grabbing for the "Tagsdale" (Clydesdale) horse. How could I refuse to give it to him? Here ...
