Captain America: Civil War

Over the past year, Peyton has become interested in super heroes. It all started with Spider-Man, then quickly grew to include Iron Man, Captain America and the Hulk.

Shopkins Season 5 is Here!

Shopkins Season 5 Mega Packs

If you are a Shopkins fanatic I am sure you know Sunday May 1st was the release of Season 5. We were up bright and early heading out the door to try and score a Shopkins Season 5 set at Target.
