Summertime magic with Creativity for Kids

If I was giving this summer a name, it would most definitely be the summer of magic. All things Harry Potter are huge in our house, the kids spend their time creating magic potions, and everything we do is looked at through a lens of magic. It makes perfect sense that the kids should also be growing their own magic beans and creating a magic unicorn land with the help of Faber-Castell, right?

Build, code & play with JIMU Robots

It’s incredibly important to me that I introduce my kids to all aspects of STEM-based learning, especially those that aren’t naturally tech-inclined. In my search for tech toys, I’ve found my new favorite toy that truly makes STEM learning fun: The JIMU Robot System. They can build, code, and play with their own customizeable robot for hours and hours of fun, all while learning the basics of robotics.

Gift guide for fans of the Six Minutes podcast

I’ve heard it said that an expert level of any skill requires 5,000 hours of purposeful engagement in a particular area. If this is true, that means that my husband is an *expert* podcast listener. He recently got the kids hooked, and their favorite is the Six Minutes podcast from Gen-Z Media. We’ve created a curated gift guide based on our love of the show just for fans.

But, as active as all of my kids are, they haven’t all inherited my natural athleticism. I’m going to pause here while everyone that knows me finishes laughing. Not to … Read more

Bandai Namco Flashback Blast! with Pac-Man and 7 other gaming classics

Who doesn’t love Pac-Man? Up until this month, the only place I could get a Pac-Man fix was a restaurant a few towns over that we visit every couple of months. But, now I get Pac-Man and other favorite Atari classic games in the comfort of my living room with the Bandai Namco Flashback Blast!

Back to basics with Quercetti Toys

With a 6+ year age gap, it’s a very rare toy that gets the stamp of approval from all three kids. But, we’ve recently found a common ground in Quercetti Toys this fall.

The magic of Corolle Dolls

I swear my heart just melted. This girl and her love for her babies has me completely smitten. The tenderness with which she cares for each of her Corolle dolls is admittedly something pretty special. Looking at all of this love, I can’t help but be sentimental.

Why our whole family adores Dynasty Toy’s laser tag

My parents got all the boys in my large family the coolest presents this Christmas: laser tag sets from Dynasty Toys. When they first opened them, I had no idea how cool they were. I guess I was picturing one of those cheesy laser tag sets I had seen before with the vests and the lasers that never seemed to work. This isn't that kind of set.
