VTech Switch & Go Dinos

My son is crazy about dinosaurs and about vehicles of all kinds, so I knew he would think that the Switch & Go Dinos were basically the coolest thing ever. Whenever he sees the brightly colored dino covered boxes when we’re out shopping, he can’t help but hug them all. Of course I couldn't say no when offered a set of Switch & Go Dinos to review right before his birthday.

If you haven’t seen them in stores yet, Switch & Go Dinos are robotic dinosaurs that transform into various vehicles with just a few motions. When in dino mode, they roar like prehistoric animals, and when in car/truck/flying object mode, their engines rev and they make vrooming noises. Pretty much the best toy ever, in a little boy’s eyes.

I already knew that my son would think it was pretty awesome if a few Switch & Go Dinos came to live with us, so I was sure they would be the perfect birthday present for him this September. My daughter recognized this as well and decided that of all the other toys on the market, she really wanted to buy him one of these dinos for his birthday.

Whole house clean with the Shark Sonic Duo Cleaning System

If you know me, you know how much I adore cleaning gadgets. Even a good scrub brush makes me happy, but if the product actually saves me time and energy, I’m ecstatic. Such is the case with the Shark Duo Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaner that I was sent after meeting the Shark team at the MomTrends Shark party during BlogHer.

Isn't this gorgeous? The view isn't half bad, either.

Karmin G3 Salon Pro Pure Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron {Review}

As someone who doesn’t go to fancy salons, I’m always a little behind on hair trends. In fact, I don’t think I even owned a flat iron until 2008 when I got a top-of-the-line model at the time. Even though that doesn’t seem like that long ago, it really feels like flat irons have come … Read more

Step2 Corvette Room Organizer {review}

I adore my kids, and I love *most* of their toys. I just hate when their toys are all over my house. While toy boxes are one solution, I find that their favorite toys tend to get buried in a big box and then they dump out the entire contents to get that one beloved … Read more

Our Week In The Future {Kia Optima Hybrid Review}

by Tyler, editor and reviewer Last week I was spoiled by STI – The Drive Experience Company. While I am currently driving the newest car I have ever owned {a spry 18 years old} I really don’t spend a lot of time in newer cars. But, this last week I was lucky enough to drive … Read more

JumpSport Elite Trampoline {Review}

Fun fact: just like blowing bubbles or skipping through a park, I firmly believe it is impossible to jump and bounce on a trampoline without smiling. While I don’t have any scientific proof this is true, I remain 100% convinced this is a fact and could show you hundreds of pictures of us bouncing on our JumpSport Trampoline over the last few weeks as “evidence”. Just the thought of someone frowning and grumpy on a trampoline makes me laugh.

As for me, I think I have a genetic disposition that causes me to giggle uncontrollably as soon as I set foot on our JumpSport trampoline. I say this is genetic, because every single person with a blood relation to me has the same trait, including my siblings, cousins, and my two adorable kiddos. Maybe this is why they beg to bounce daily and why we’ve spent most of our summer thus far on our trampoline.

Sony Handycam {Review}

Do you remember when video cameras came in a suitcase? Not much smaller than the film cameras used in Hollywood, video cameras of the 80s required a strong shoulder to keep them steady and they were anything but portable. I always felt really sorry for the poor parent holding the video camera, not just for … Read more

No, not a car, a stroller: specifically, the new Britax B-Ready stroller. In an effort to save money, use less gas, and get some … Read more

FishEyes Rod & Reel Underwater Camera

Get Out and PLAY Event – Day 13 The act of fishing may date back centuries, but although there have been new inventions and tools along the way, there's just not a whole lot of innovation. Very rarely does something come along that really embraces modern technology in the world of fishing, so I was … Read more

Valco Baby Tri Mode EX Stroller with Toddler Seat Attachment

My husband and I took stroller shopping for our first baby very seriously. The ultimate goal was to find one that was easy to use, comfortable for extended distances, and was able to grow with us – all without completely obliterating our buggy budget. We had a list of requirements that our stroller had to … Read more
