One of the best parts about being a parent is taking on the role of Santa Claus. I've told Peyton the origin story of Santa Claus but she's never questioned how he is still alive, decade after decade passing out gifts to all the children of the world. And I'm glad she doesn't. But I also go out of my way to make her childhood magical. This year, with the help of Package from Santa, Peyton will be receiving her very own letter from Santa! Now, I'm going to be upfront, I'm going to use stock ...
Toys
Boom, Bang, Gold
Looking for a new game for family game night? Then look no further! Boom, Bang, Gold from HABA is perfect for the whole family. It's recommended for ages 7 years old and up. But what I really like about this game is it only takes about 20 minutes! So perfect for younger children that may not be able to sit still and focused for extended periods of time. The premise of the game is that there has been gold discovered in the sleepy village of Old Town. People are infected with gold rush ...

Unlock of World of Learning with Piccoli Horses
When our children are born we look at them and think about all the wonderful things they will do with their lives, what their first words will be and we look forward to watching them and helping them discover the world around them. Piccoli has created a program that can help children learn to talk and also learn other languages through play. I was first introduced to Piccoli a few years ago at the Chicago Toy Fair, the founder Kimberly Rogers was there and we had a little chat about ...

Selma’s Dolls: Unique Ragdolls with a Purpose
Chances are if you have a little one at home you probably have a doll or two or a dozen around the house. I know Peyton received her first baby doll when she was just a baby herself and as she grew older her collection grew as well. But one thing I noticed with all the dolls she received as presents or asked for there was one thing missing in them. They all looked very similar and not one doll looked like her or the people in our lives. I know I am not the only mom that is looking for a doll ...
