How do you go through thousands of toys on the shelf at Brilliant Sky Toys & Books and pick the top ten? It might be a fun task but quite time consuming. I am glad I can benefit from all this hard work. The top toys have been narrowed down to ten and they've won the 2014 Brilliance Award. These toys winners are all {not surprisingly} low-tech. You will find a creative and awesome variety of toys that include dolls, puppets, crafts, and building sets - timeless classic toys that even our … [Read more...]
Learning Toys Make the Best Gifts!
With the holidays soon upon us, I know many of you are looking for great gift ideas for the children in your life. I have four very great gift ideas to share with you. These four gifts are made by VTech, a brand I've always trusted to make quality toys that are also educational. I am homeschooling my daughter which means I need creative ways to keep my Little Man busy. I wish my toddler could sit at his mini-desk and color and look at books and watch educational videos. But nope. Not this guy. … [Read more...]
Giving Back with Playskool
I wrote this review while participating in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Playskool. I received product samples to facilitate my party and review, and a promotional item to thank me for participating. I grew up pretty poor. I just didn't know it. I had toys but mostly played outside as a kid. I grew up on a reservation (still live here) and saw a lot of poverty and neglect. Toys weren't always at the top of parents lists when thinking of their children. Fast forward a … [Read more...]
Little Tikes Kitchen for Kids
This is a sponsored post with MGAE. This could include MGAE providing me with content, product, access or other forms of payment.

We already had an old Little Tikes kitchen from a garage sale but everyone was happy to replace that one with a new … [Read more...]

He Loves Riding His Push Vehicles
This post brought to you by Huggies® Little Movers. All opinions are 100% mine. It has become impossible to keep my Little Man still. He literally is always on the go. The upside? He sleeps really well at night, much better than his sister did when she was 2 years old. The downside? I am so tired - all the time! His current favorite thing to do at home right now is to ride on his push vehicles. I won't even tell you how many different push vehicles we have (it's embarrassing) but he rides … [Read more...]
Sand Toys Your Kids Will Love
We are planning two upcoming trips to the beach and we are very excited! First up, we are heading down to the Oregon coast for four days next week. We will be staying at a resort on the beach. {I cannot wait!} Then, at the end of next month we are spending nine days in Oahu literally on the beach as well. We love the beach! My kids can play in the sand and water for hours and hours and I love having a loaded Kindle to read all the books I have been getting behind on. Who doesn't love the … [Read more...]
