The Friends Count collection is cute and furry. I remember when I was a kid and the BFF neckalaces were popular for friends, they would break easy though. Now your child and their best friend can have BFF bears that will last them forever as a sign of friendship.

I have a $20 Build A Bear Gift Card to giveaway to one lucky US reader?

Finding the Right Animal with Gundimals

- brandy3

 

I always had pets growing up and  a lot of them. Now that I am married with kids, I prefer not having pets. It’s just to much living in apartments and having such small children.

My kids have been asking for a  pet, but we just can’t do it right now so we have been having our kids pick out stuff animals to chose as their pets. Now I know they can’t take the place of a actual animal, but they still love them.

They have even asked for exotic animals like tigers and elephants, so we have made it a routine that every time we visit a new zoo we pick out animals from the gift shop. We have been getting a lot. we have penguins, elephants, tigers, monkeys, polar bears and more.

our schedule has been so hectic that we haven’t made it out of town to visit a new zoo, so Gundimals have sent us a few cute little furry friends. I can’t believe how much these actually look realistic. It’s amazing! and they are so soft and cuddly.

 

You can find Gundimals at retailers nationwide for $10-$24

Get Your Kids Outside With Backyard Safari

- brandy3

We have been big fans of Backyard Safari, since we were introduced to them a few years ago. We have so many products to help us enjoy the outdoors like the walking stick, tent, bug zapper, and more.

We were jus introduced to two more products that will make outside play even more fun.

Field Canteen:

This is so convenient, my kids always want to take a water bottle outside when they play. The Canteen lets them have water outside and I don’t have to worry about them losing the lid to the bottle. The canteen comes with a no lose cap bank and an adjustable shoulder strap.

Animal Caller:

You can call five different animals with the animal caller. The animal calls are a grizzly bear, cougar, gray wolf, American Eagle and loon. This toy has been a blast. My kids run around the backyard with the animal sounds going and pretend they are hunting or on an animal safari. Whenever they hear the bear they run and hide.

You can find both of these products on Amazon and retailers nationwide. To see all the Backyard Safari Toys visit their website.

We were invited to the launch, and they had mini transformations for the girls into Winx.

They did there nails

They did their Makeup

They even had a boutique to dress them up.

the end result, they Transformed into Bloom and Flora.

After that we played in a dance session with the new Winx Club Microphone and guitar.

The dolls are so much fun. There wings really flutter so it seems like they are flying, and the dolls are pose able.  My daughter is determined to get the whole Winx Club collection, and hopes they release the boys too. One I loved is how easy it is to open the packaging.

Winx Club Doll line is select retailers including Walmart now and  nationwide this Fall for $19.99

Little Mommy Princess And The Potty Doll

- brandy3 1 Comment

Mattel’s Little Mommy line has come out with new dolls and products.  The Little Mommy Line features products from 3 of the most important events in a baby’s life, feeding, bathing and sleeping.

I was invited but could not attend an event in NYC all about the new line, and thought I would share some photos and highlights. Rosie Pope was there offering parenting and play tips.

Even though I did not attend the event, Mattel sent me a Little Mommy Doll. I received the Little Mommy Princess and the Potty Doll. I was a little grossed out at first, a doll that poops in the potty was just something I was not into. My daughters loved the thought of it. They made the doll sit on the potty every 5 minutes.

No Time Mommy

 

No Time Mommy

The doll does not speak herself, unless she is sitting on the potty or you flush the toilet by itself.  She comes with a hand sanitizer jar, and a sippy cup, but no worries the doll doesn’t really drink so no mess to clean up.

I think this would be a great toy for any little girl potty training. My daughter made a little video of her using the potty (the doll).

When you sit the doll on the potty, she sings and the potty actually makes sounds of poop dropping in the toilet. LOL! Away from the potty, she is still a cute little princess doll to play with. My daughter has reserved a spot on her bed for her new doll.
