No Time Mommy

We have been collecting Hess trucks for some time, we have missed out on a few years but have a lot of them.  My son automatically feel in love with this one as it is a truck and a plane to play with.  It lights up and is good for hours of fun and play.   I really appreciate how they offer the minis, we have so many big Hess trucks and they take up a lot of room.

Hess Mini Toy Trucks are available at any Hess gas station now for $6.99 plus tax, while supplies last.

Fijit Newbies Blog Tour

- brandy3 1 Comment

Mattel came out with Fijit Friends a few years ago, and they looked like so much fun. My kids have always wanted them, but we wanted to wait until the price came down.

Mattel newly introduced the Fijit Newbies, which are like fijit babies. While they don’t do as much as a Fijit Friend, they are sell fun.

We received Fijit Friend Sage, and Fijit Newbies Melodee, and Mila

The newbies mainly just play a song and when you put 2 together they can do a duet. which my kids loved the most because they could play and sing with them. Each Fijit has a chirp feature program. When you get your newbie to chirp, your Fijit Friend will respond and say what’s up, then dance to your newbies song.

The Fijit newbies only have a few features but they are fun to play with and have a low price, compared to the Fijit Friend.

Retail: Fijit Newbie retails for $14.99

Disclosure: “I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Mattel and received two Fijit Friends Newbies and one Fijit Friends to facilitate my review.”

Finding Those Hard To Find Cars Die-Cast

- brandy3 1 Comment

My son is a huge fan of Cars. He has almost every single Cars 2 die-cast. The ones he does not have are the very rare and hard to find. I usually check the Disney store website everyday, and have to browse the toy section whenever I am at Walmart.

Well finally on the Disney tore website I found a few hard to find Cars.

Sushi Chefs

David Hobbscap

and the much anticipated Rip Clutchgoneski

I am so excited to find these, my only problem with buying Cars from the Disney store is that they are never the same size as the Cars you would find in another store.

Here is a pic of Franchesco (which I bought at Toys R Us) And Rip (Which I bought at Disney Store). a big difference.

Strawberry Shortcake Cherry Jam

- brandy3 2 Comments

My daughter is a collector of all Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony Toys. Well a few months ago they introduced Cherry Jam as a new character on Strawberry Shortcake.

I looked everywhere for her, all sold out. She has been sold out for weeks on Hasbro Toy Shop Unless of course you wanted to buy her on Amazon or Ebay for 3 times her normal price, no thank you.

So finally one day at Walmart I am browsing through Strawberry toys and I spot her behind tons of other toys. The last one, I grabbed and hid her in my cart, since I had my daughter with me.

I am so excited I finally found her.

Mega Bloks Police Fire Patrol rescue Set

- brandy3

All missions are possible when you team up with the two Rescue vehicles of the Blok Squad Fire Patrol Rescue! Build the Fire Rescue Pumper Truck and roar through the streets of Bloktropolis with sirens blaring, carrying hundreds of gallons of water to help put out a fire. Have your Blok Squad Firefighters hook up their hoses and put out fires in even the most remote areas of Bloktropolis! Construct the Fire Patrol ATV and have your Blok Squad Firefighter ride through the toughest terrains to reach any country or city fire!

***** When we first received this set, my son would not stop begging for it to get put together. He wants to be a Fireman when he grows up, so as you can imagine this has become one of his new favorite toys.  The set is really cute, you have a fire truck that opens up to store little axes. And you can also build a small ATV, both have places for the Firemen to sit.  My only complaint is that it fell apart easily, which was to expected since they are blocks. So I have rebuilt it about 35 times in the past month. LOL!

Retail: $9.99
