The only problem with this tactic is that throughout the year, new toys come out that the children oogle at AND sometimes their wish list changes. This year, one of the hottest toys marketed towards girls (although to be honest, I wish it was promoted … Continue reading →

My kids and I recently spent an entire week up at the cottage. We are so lucky to have access to a few beautiful beaches that are not very far away!

I surprised my kids with some new Sand Toys from Melissa and Doug. Melissa and Doug have always been one of my favourite toy companies!
