Good Luck Charms Kids Love

June 19, 2009

altWe went to Brilliant Sky Toys and Books at the Village the other day and we saw these cute good luck charms for sale at the cash register. There were three different kinds...a pig, a lady bug, and a frog. Feeling a little down on my luck lately:), we bought one of each. They are so cute and the kids LOVE them. The lady at the store said they were so

Whole Foods Tortilla Chips Review

May 20, 2009

Oh yes, there are so many uses for tortilla chips!  Salsa, guacamole, nachos, homemade dips... And until now, I had not been able to find the perfect "nacho" chip!  I was so thrilled to come across Whole Foods Tortilla Chips that have the pefect texture, amount of salt and great fresh homemade taste.  Whole Foods makes them in the store and


   

Crayola Twistables Slick Stix Review

May 29, 2009

My daughter and I dropped off my son at baseball practice one night and went to a local Panera so I could do some work on my laptop.  We make a quick run into the nearby Kroger so we could buy her something to keep busy while I worked.  We found a cute Curious George activity book.  I was getting ready to buy a box of crayons (even though we have plenty at home) when my daugher pointed out these Crayola Twistables Slick Stix.  I initially thought Crayola Twistables Slick Stix were the markers we have that twist to open, so I tried to talk my daughter out of buying them.  She pointed out that they were in fact different, so we purchased them. Here is my review of Crayola Twistables Slick Stix:

April 05, 2009

Here is my review of the Rhino Rampage Game:

altSoon after putting this game together, I tried to convince my kids that we should return it.  Rhino Rampage is a waste of money. Even right out of the box, Rhino Rampage did not work properly. Contrary to the advertising, the rhino does not roar and hardly

Scarzone Cream Review

February 23, 2009

My son fell out of his bed one night. He bumped his cheek and got a small cut.  It did not look bad, but since it is on his face, we did not want it to scar.


   

Leapster Cartridges Are Kid Tough

January 11, 2009

Let's start this off with the well-known and annoying phrase, "Please don't try this at home."

My daughter was looking for one of her Leapster cartridges yesterday.  We keep them all in a ziploc bag, so it was strange that we could not find it. We checked the couch cushions, under the furniture, in the Leapster (you never know:), and we could not find it anywhere!
