Here comes the Easter bunny with the Steiff Candy Rabbit

Bunny Ear Steiff

We fell in love with Steiff while expecting our first, and the first thing we bought for her was a special Steiff bear. That special bear has now been joined by dozens of friends on her shelf, and it’s one of our favorite things to collect as a family. I love that each animal or piece is representative of a certain season or specific time, and the newest Candy Rabbit from Steiff is sure to become a beloved friend as well.

Best of both worlds: LG Watch W7 smartwatch with traditional watch movement

LG Watch W7 outside

I found the perfect gift in the LG Watch W7 Smartwatch from Best Buy. Not only does it combine all the smart functions I was looking for with the analog sensibility of real watch hands, it has the added benefit of looking much more like a traditional watch. Perfect for keeping in touch while working and at meetings where I don’t want to pull out my phone.

They can build, code, and play with their own customizeable robot for hours and hours of fun, all while learning the basics of robotics.

So, I love that Comcast is partnering with Mary’s Place in Washington to tackle homelessness and help close the digital divide.
