a boy is noise with dirt on it
I know a thing or two about boys, I do have three of them after all! Boys love Star Wars, Transformers, Super Heroes and Building things! Hasbro knows a thing or two about all of that too!
Check out Hasbro’s online Gift Guide for some holiday shopping inspiration! They have you covered from Optimus Prime to Iron Man all in one spot!
Each year Grandma calls up to ask what the kiddos want for Christmas, and each year I’m at a bit of a loss for what to suggest. Crazy I know! My two youngest boys are still a bit small to create a wish list and when they look at the Sears Wish Book or commercials they just yell “I want that!” no matter what it is! My oldest who is six is a piece of cake, but for the little dudes it’s a lot of guess work and we often just hit the toy store and pick from the shelves which is fine for us, but not too helpful for Grandma.

The holidays more than ever we seem to make it a priority to teach our children the importance of helping others and Monkeez and friends is a really fun way to do it! Monkeez Makes a Difference gives children the opportunity to learn and practice giving back while having fun.

This year we picked out a toy for the boys from Green Toys. Like most boys, our guys fall in love with anything that has wheels and the Flatbed and Racecar has 8 of them!
Gentlemen (and ladies) start your environmentally responsible engines! The Green Toys™ Flatbed Truck with Race Car is on the move. This sturdy blue truck hauls our sleek red hot rod on its back, and has a flatbed that tilts up to allow the car to roll off.
Like most kids, I grew up watching Sesame Street! I adored Super Grover and Snuffy and had a soft spot even for Oscar the Grouch! This summer our family embarked on our first week long vacation, crossing the border and travelling to Pennsylvania to see the ‘real Sesame Street’ at Sesame Place! It was literally like walking onto the set of Sesame Street except with a water park and big rides bookending either side! It was magical and took me right back to my youth! We sat on the famous Sesame Stoop, shook our booties at the Elmo Rocks show and my six year old even got to jump on set and take part in the Elmo’s World Live performance! He got a real kick out of seeing Mr. Noodle up close and personal with all his crazy antics!
Truth be told it was a dream vacation for the whole family! We had our picture taken with all of our furry friends and the boys came back home even bigger Sesame Street fans then before! A month later they helped me pick out
