My kiddos love swingsets and could swing all day long if I let them. Whenever we go to the park, we spend 90% of the time on the swings, and it’s always a struggle to get them to go anywhere else. We thought about adding a small swingset to our yard this year, but instead … Read more
I’ve always had a thing for rubber rain boots. Not only are they totally practical for our rainy spring and fall here in the Northwest, they are also adorable on little kiddos and, even better, they love wearing them. Because we love them so much, we have a tradition every year that we go out … Read more

And, I figure there are certainly worse ways to kill two hours … Read more
Recently, a big huge Step2 box containing the brand new Panda Climber landed on our doorstep. My daughter saw the box and asked incredulously, “Is that a playground for us?” and then proceeded to jump in circles with her brother yelling woohoo! for nearly 20 minutes. And, that was before we even put it together. … Read more
Do you ever find yourself feeling lost in your local toy store? Maybe it’s the fact that there are too many options or maybe it’s because half of the toys are plastic junk, but I feel like I’m in the same position every time I’m shopping for birthday presents for my kids’ friends.

You may remember how much we adore the Baby Brezza One Step Baby Food Maker, {but if not, please feel free to brush up by reading our Rave Review} and how it single-handedly fed our kids during the pureed food stage. Well, as it turns out, we still love it. In fact, we might love … Read more
