The holiday season is filled with so much gift giving, it’s a great time to teach your kids about giving back. As your children outgrow their toys, what do you do with them? There may be local organizations that give to kids in need or “adopt a family” programs around the holiday season. I have a fun new tradition that helps you clean out the toy room to give to kids in need while teaching your kids about the act of giving. Everyone knows Santa carries a big sack of toys on his I first met the GB brand when I was at the ABC Expo in Vegas this past September. I knew it was a European brand bringing its international design and fashion trends to the United States. One of their strollers won “best in show” at the recent New York Baby Show, so I just couldn’t wait to see what it was all about! Meet Zuzu… Now THIS is a lightweight travel stroller! You’d think it’s a full-size with everything it offers and how well it moves, but Do you remember playing with Discovery Toys when you were a kid? I do and I’m thrilled to be buying them now for my kids! You must at least remember their marbleworks toy—it’s still the best! We had some educational toy that I was obsessed with—like word problems, matching, simple math kind of things. They don’t have it anymore, but I’d say their current “It’s a Match” game is the closest thing to it. So I came up with a list of my favorite education toys from Discovery Toys. My friend How much holiday shopping do you have left on your list this year? I’d say I’m only about 1/4 of the way done—when I start early, I feel ahead of the game, but then it’s suddenly Christmas time and I have a long list to go! I’m really trying to be prepared this year… there’s enough going on during the holidays! Minted is one of my go-to sites for fun, quality, and personalized gifts. They also have Christmas cards (and of course I still need to order ours)! I put together Written in partnership with JJ Cole. I received a Bundleme to facilitate this post. Any opinions are my own! I hate the cold, but it won’t keep us from going outside! With two toddlers at home, if we don’t get out of the house we ALL go crazy. Plus there’s just so much fun to be had in the fall! Apple orchards, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, leaf piles, hay rides, horse riding, beautiful arboretums, and our last stroller walks through the neighborhood before the snow comes! Bundleme from JJ Cole Radio Flyer is a brand name I’ve loved since I was a kid. For our son’s first Christmas, we got him one of those classic, wooden Radio Flyer wagons. It’s a reliably awesome and fun brand with high quality and dependable products that every kid (and parent!) love! And now they have the COOLEST gift idea: customize your ride… You can build-a-wagon, build-a-trike, or build-a-balance bike! How fun for your child to get involved, help pick out the features of their new wagon or bike online, and see the completed, customized toy in I am in love with this highchair and only wish it had been around when we had Ryan 5 years ago!!! It will be the only chair you need—the Joovy HiLo is great for ages 6 months up to 6 years! How? The seat flips a 180 to go from a baby highchair to a toddler seat. Use it with the tray or without, pushed up to your own table. In the photo above, Rebecca (2) is in the baby position, which means the seat is higher. To rotate the seat, you simply |
