Remote control has a whole new meaning with the new Sphero Darkside Ollie. Sphero has done it again with this fun and entertaining droid.

Qixels – The Best Tech Free Entertainment for Kids #QixelsWorld
I love tech, don't get me wrong - but it seems like every time I turn around my kids have an electronic device or they are watching TV. I have tried to put time limits on their usage, but they still need more - like something great to play with that will pull them away from their devices, more than once. They have a few toys that they love and play with all the time - and one of those is Qixels (pronounced “Quick-suls”). The one thing I love the most about Moose Toys Qixels is that my kids can do ...
Little Tikes RC Tire Twister review
My son loves RC toys. He spends a lot of his time playing with a tractor he got for his birthday from his Grandpa, but he often asks for a race car. I did some research and found the Little Tikes RC Tire Twister™ and loved all of the features so I knew that this would be the perfect gift for him. He loves RC cars (maybe just so he can chase the cat or torment his sisters), but he asked for a fast car for Christmas. The RC Tire Twister™ is the perfect combination of fast and fun. The Little T ...
Furreal Friends JJ, My Jumpin’ Pug Pet review
My daughter is an animal lover. She is always carrying our cat (that is almost as big as she is) around, or laying with the dog using him as a pillow. While we have taught her to be kind and gentle she is always giving loves and playing with them. She has a special bond with animals and so I knew I wanted to get her a FurReal Animal for Christmas this year. We found the Furreal Friends JJ, My Jumpin’ Pug Pet and I fell in love. I knew this was something that she would play with all the time be ...
K’NEX Fun on the Ferris Wheel Building Set Review
With the holidays coming up I have been looking for fun things for my girls. As they get older and out of the "toys" stage - I want to find them something that still lets them be kids, but challenges them and lets them use their creativity and skills. K'NEX is the perfect compromise. We recently got the Fun on the Ferris Wheel Building Set and so we gave it to my oldest for her birthday. She will turn 11 soon. She sat there with her sister for hours playing with the set, putting it together and ...
Hasbro toys to add to your “Santa” List
My kids are still go cute and little that I think that they still need baby toys - lol - but I know that my almost 11 year old would not appreciate a rattle for her birthday or Christmas gift, so I have to be creative and find great toys and gifts for her. As well as my other kids who are growing up quickly and love to get toys that are better suited to their ages. I was so excited when I saw the list of Hasbro toys that just came out because I knew my kids would have so much fun with them. We ...
