Here's a little trick I have for filling stockings, instead of buying a ton of small items that can really add up cost wise, choose a bigger item that's going to fill a good portion of the stocking and then work around it. My suggestion? A Thermos beverage container. My boys each keep one of the Thermos FUNtainers at their desk at school. The teachers encourage this to avoid kids asking for drinks at the water fountain, the kids love it and as a parent … [Read more...]

My 8 yr old has been asking for a watch for a couple of years now, I'm not sure why he has this interest in knowing what time it is, but now that he's learning to tell time in school as well we thought this would be a great 'time' to get him one. The Kidizoom Smartwatch DX from a trusted brand like vtech seemed like a great choice! Not only does it tell the time in both digital and analogue, it does sooo sooo much more! My boy is as obsessed with sports as he is with electronics so I … [Read more...]

I'm always excited to see what's new in the world of toys and there's no better time than Christmas to really see what's out there for the little ones. I find that boys toys really stand the test of time, as some of the same toys my brother played with growing up, my own boys are playing with now. But toys are definitely getting more and more advanced and I'm hoping my non-techy brain can still figure them out as they evolve! I'm sure my boys will have them all figured out way before me though! … [Read more...]

A couple of years ago I was feeling stumped on something to get my boys for Christmas that was a little different. With three boys all close in age I felt like they had a lot of the same toys and needed something they hadn't seen before. A friend suggested Hexbugs and another chimed in that her boys really liked them too so I knew we were on to something. That year they received a Hexbug habitat and loved it, in fact, just the other day they had it out to play with again and realized … [Read more...]

Sometimes having three boys of similar age means they have a lot of the same stuff to play with. So I'm always on the look out for toys that are maybe a little different than what they already have and I was really excited to find a few cool new things to surprise them with this holiday. The little boys are already really excited to start their Playmobil Advent Calendars, but Playmobil doesn't stop there for hockey fans, they have a whole line up of really fun hockey themed … [Read more...]
