Where we were

Don’t miss the Champions of Magic tour

We got really into magic around here during quarantine and watched everything magic-related that we could find online and streaming. But, know what’s better than watching it on the small screen? Watching real magicians live and in person. So, when we heard Champions of Magic was touring, we were all over it.

Sweet Suite 22 Virtual Day

This year, Sweet Suite was in-person in NYC for one day, and then went virtual for the rest of us {Sweet Suite 22 Virtual Day} who couldn’t swing a trip to the east coast this summer. Yet again, I’m raving that even their virtual events are an amazingly good time.

Sweet Suite at home 2021

Sweet Suite at Home was the full Sweet Suite experience, including the ability to explore the show floor, walk up to sponsors’ booths, and engage in live face-to-face toy demos via video chat. We had the ability to chat with more than 75 toy companies and get inspired for holiday gift guides, future toy reviews, and more.

Holiday of Play from The Toy Insider

The Toy Insider did it again with another amazing virtual event. This time the focus was the holidays, and Holiday Of Play from The Toy Insider did not disappoint. There was fun, there were games, and through it all I learned all about the season’s hottest toys for 2020.

I love Fremont, WA in fall and I don’t think I will ever get tired of walking around the area. This is especially true on Sundays. Yes, Sundays… the day it seems like everything is closed even though everyone has the day off..
