LEGO is a great rainy day activity! In the summer months, there are also quite a few hot days where children are looking for something to keep them occupied. In the past year, my 7 year old daughter has grown to absolutely LOVE Lego! This is why I was super excited when I was asked to review the SpongeBob Bikini Bottom Undersea Party Lego Playset! It couldn’t have arrived at a better time. This set includes 471 pieces and is recommended for children aged 6-11 years of age and I fully agree with that. My 7 year old was able … Continue reading →

This Guest Post is a part of Summer Sanity, a series of posts for parents to gain ideas and inspiration for how to keep their children happy, active, educated and having fun during the long summer months. Today’s Activity: Hiking with your children. Warm, sunny days make me want to lace up my hiking boots and find a mountain to climb or a shady forest path to follow. Having children requires slightly more planning before embarking on such escapes, but both my daughters enjoy these adventures almost as much as I do. Here’s what I’ve learned about taking my children … Continue reading →

By Amanda | July 18, 2012 - 5:48 am |July 18, 2012 kids, REVIEW, safety

When SnuggleBugz contacted me to check out their online store, I was very excited! I have heard of this Canadian store before and, in fact, I have driven past it before while on the highway and was very curious about their childrens’ products! We received a Diono Monterey Booster Seat for the car for review. I couldn’t believe how heavy the box was for this booster seat, but this is a good thing because it means that the seat is well constructed, and that it is! This seat is solid. First of all, the high back booster allows for extra … Continue reading →

When I first heard of MumMe Socks it was because they had received the PTPA Award. These socks have got to be the most fun parent/child product out there! I’ll admit that I am a sucker for matching outfits. When I discovered that I could have matching socks with my daughter, I can’t describe the excitement that I had (yes, I am one of “those” Moms). Triple that for the energy that filled our house when my daughter opened up the package to discover that she would be able to look like Mommy!We received the Ballet Flats in a beautiful … Continue reading →

Today’s Activity: Scavenger and Treasure Hunts.Summer holidays back on the farm I suspect, are quite different than summer holidays in the city. There were no playgrounds, libraries, movie theatres, etc. to entertain our young bodies or minds. There was TV but we were never huge TV watchers, we had an Atari but that can only keep you entertained for so long. There were … Continue reading →
