BizyBeez: These Magnetic Building Toys are Keeping Nate Busy!

April 15, 2019 By LaVonne

About BizyBeez MagStix There’s something really special about MagStix by BizyBeez. First, unlike other magnetic toys, this 41-piece magnetic building set comes with a portable playboard that can be used as a building base anywhere — on the floor, table, or lap while traveling in the car. Second, the chunky tactile pieces give kids ages three and older a sense of calm and focus. That’s incredibly valuable to parents of children on the spectrum that love to zoom in on objects that are … [Read more...]

Awesome STEM Education with Little Medical School Kits

June 28, 2017 By LaVonne

My two kids both love role playing in the medical field. Bring on the  white coat and stethoscope and they are happy! That’s the same vision behind Little Medical School’s launch of a retail line of kid-size healthcare wear, gear and activity items and they align perfectly with the need for more STEM products. These educational tools are irresistible to curious kids. I should know -- mine LOVE it. What is STEM Education In a world that’s becoming increasingly complex, where success is driven … [Read more...]

Nintendo Tour: Our Fun Family Day at Nintendo of America!

November 22, 2016 By LaVonne

When you get an invite from Nintendo to come to Redmond, WA for a family day, you just don't say no. I mean, we live an hour from Redmond, the city the Nintendo of America can be found, and getting a tour is not something that happens often. Really, it's almost unheard of. Plus, I have a long love affair with Nintendo. I still remember getting that first console back in 5th grade for Christmas... I was nervous about how Nathanael would do all day at Nintendo. But do you know what? Not only … [Read more...]

Here’s Where You Can Find Smart Games For The Kids

September 8, 2016 By LaVonne

I love when my kids unplug their electronic devices, or turn off the television, and play great fun and educational games. This last week, they had two new games to learn and play and they LOVED them.

September 6, 2016 By LaVonne

We have a big love for American Girl in the Long House. Yes, they are beautiful dolls with great accessories, but more than that, they teach my daughter a love for history and an appreciation for the impact that girls can have on history and most importantly - today. We've shared our previous experience with Kaya, the Native American American Girl doll. Today, I wanted to share with you our newest experience with Melody Ellison. Melody is a 9 year old girl living in Detroit through the civil … [Read more...]

Fun Items to Add to Her Blue and Green Tween Busy Bag

August 26, 2016 By LaVonne

Yes, even my 8 year old daughter needs a busy bag when we travel or at church. We like to mix it up and bring different items every few weeks to keep her interested. This is what I call her fun "blue and green busy bag". It's fun to make a themed bag. The items in this bag have a Pacific Northwest theme because the main attraction of this busy bag is the Find It Games State of Washington game. We love Find It Games -- this amazing portable treasure hunt that can keep kids and adults … [Read more...]

Neat-Oh! Pony Toys, Organization and More!

August 24, 2016 By LaVonne

We are in Lincoln, City Oregon for my husband’s work. We packed up our minivan and drove 6 hours south on I-5. It’s a little too much for our kids to travel this far, and I debated on going. Thankfully, we had snacks and movies and somehow survived. Do your kids travel well on road trips? {My kids do better on the airplane actually.} For the last two years, I’ve packed a small red race car backpack for Nate. It unzips, lays flat, and the inside of the back pack is actually a road for his Hot … [Read more...]
