PTPA Award-Winning American Girl for the Holidays
Leanne (Rave and Review) in Been Around the Blog, Holiday Blogaholics, Just Between Us, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 3 comments - posted on Nov 30th, 2012As you know, we love the PTPA award-winning American Girl brand. When my daughter is not playing with her McKenna doll or her Kit doll, she’s looking through the American Girl catalog and dreaming of one day getting to play with everything inside its glossy pages. But, this year, there was one big item that caught her eye that she had a hard time leaving at the Seattle store when we visited, and that is Julie’s 1974 Volkswagen Beetle and car wash set. Not only is this car seriously cute, it also has a working radio, a running motor noise … Continue reading

Affordable Family Entertainment – Family Game Night
Cheryl in For the love of parenting - 4 comments - posted on Nov 29th, 2012Growing up, family game night was my favourite day of the week.

I loved game night because it was a chance for us to disconnect from technology (although we only had video game consoles at the time – it’s much different than today when there are video game systems, tablets, social networks, instant messaging etc competing for our attention) and connect with each other. Now that I … Continue reading
Family Game Night and Spontuneous
Brandy InsaneMamacita in Just Between Us - 6 comments - posted on Nov 29th, 2012Before having kids we used to enjoy the occasional game night with our friends. A few of us couples would get together and play a few of our favourite board games to help us unwind after a long and difficult work week. Along with the games, we would share about what was going on in our lives over delicious appetizers, wine coolers, and beer. We would laugh until we’d cry. We always had a blast together and could not wait until the next game night to come around. The days of sleeping in after a night out with our friends … Continue reading

My Backpack Tags: Your Child’s Schedule On a Bag
Susan in Product Reviews - 0 comments - posted on Nov 27th, 2012I had the chance to evaluate My Backpack Tags and the second I opened the package, I instantly fell in love with the tags and the idea behind it. If you’re a parent, you know the craziness of juggling 10 things at once and that doesn’t include what you need to do during the day, such as your full time job. I have 2 children. One is a first grader and the other is in preschool. My mornings are waking up and preparing their breakfast and lunch, getting their clothes all laid out and going through the task of waking … Continue reading
