At the ages of five and six, my children have already decided on a dozen different things they want to be when they grow up.  Most of their ideas range from rockstar, police officer, teacher and of course a doctor.  Looking to encourage their exploration through play I was delighted to receive The Little Medical School kits. The Little Medical School offers fun ways for children to immerse themselves in the role of being a doctor and nurse.

Building With Strictly Briks Makes It Fun To Make A Mess

I received the products mentioned below in exchange for this post. All views and opinions are my own. 
If there's one thing kids love to do, it's create fantastic messes. But it's not just the mess - it's the creativity that comes before the mess that really gets them excited.
The Original BRIK Buster, a tower-building and destruction game from Strictly Briks, cleverly taps into those desires. Kids (and adults, because this game is fun for everyone) build a tower with brightly colored bricks. Then, they take turns trying to knock bricks out of the tower with a plastic hammer without causing the whole structure to tumble.

Every single day I hear the Paw Patrol theme song being sung by one of my kids or both. I even catch myself humming the tune while doing chores around the house, but it's not annoying to me. The pups on Paw Patrol bring a smile to my face because their stories are filled with positive messages for kids plus my kids adore them. Not long ago, I had the pleasure of taking the Booper to see Paw Patrol LIVE and it was a top-notch performance. The Booper was so excited to see all his favorite characters in person and watch the story unfold in front of him.

Like most 7-year-old boys the Booper loves playing with toy cars. He also loves building things and playing with construction sets. When I introduced him to Modarri The Ultimate Toy Car his eyes lit up with excitement as he realized he could customize these cars himself and that was just the beginning of the fun. We soon learned these toy cars were not built like the rest, they were built to last with quality parts and easy to use components.

Fantastically written by Meg Maguire and creatively illustrated by Josie Yee, this book captivated our Rowdy Rascals from beginning to end.

Beauty Spot Products Offer Great Gifts and Family Fun for Everyone!

A few days ago, I caught my 2-year-old daughter sipping imaginary coffee in her play mug with one hand and digging into my makeup bag with the other. As I stared in shock at my little baby as she smeared my dirty, old makeup sponge across her perfect little face, I realized - kids really do watch EVERYTHING you do. ALL THE TIME. And then, COPY IT (for better or worse – I have to work on my cursing)! So, I thought I’d plan us a little “girls’ night” to show her some tricks and let her try some makeup specifically for kids (and give me the opportunity to refresh my outdated, heavily abused makeup kit of my own).

Keep Your Edge In The Kitchen With Sabatier Knives

I received the product mentioned below in exchange for this post. All views and opinions are my own. 
"Chop Chop!" That's what my son says to me when he wants an after-school snack in a hurry. Do your kids get hangry after school? Mine does. He seems to forget how to have patience.  Both of my kids love apples and fruit, but the Booper actually loves raw veggies too. His latest favorite snack is celery. Yes, you read that right. He asks for celery every time we're at the grocery store now! It seems like as a mom I have to say, "No" so many times a day, it feels good when I get to say "Yes" to their snack requests. Cutting all his fruits and veggies have been so much easier with the sharp knives from Sabatier. I didn't realize how much time I was wasting while trying to cut with a dull blade until I started using the Edgekeeper Knives. Now I can chop chop chop without the struggle or frustration.

Beautifully Organized With Labels From Stuck On You #12DaysofGiveaways

I received a product in exchange for this post. All views and opinions are my own. Sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment. 
As we quickly approach the new year, my mind has already drifted to my goals for 2018. We've been waiting to hear news of a possible job change for my husband so thoughts of moving have been influencing our decisions. I've confessed to being a borderline hoarder and this year I've worked really hard to declutter, but the past few weeks I've been in a purge mode. It's been so liberating to get rid of things we don't use. My new goal is to organize and label the things I've decided to keep in our closets. For the first time since I've been married, I actually have walk-in closets we can walk into and shelves with neatly stacked storage containers and empty space! If you're looking to organize your space with labels that won't fade or peel off over time, check out our sponsor Stuck On You.

Keep Them Laughing With Games From Goliath #12DaysofGiveaways

I received products in exchange for this post. All views and opinions are my own. Sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment. 
Are your kids growing up way too fast? I know the Booper is, we recently had to update his wardrobe as all of his jeans were hitting his ankles. I was standing in a line with him the other day and I realized his head was passed my shoulder level. I wondered when he had grown another inch or so. Time flies, and I want to cling to his innocence and keep him little. But alas, he will grow and his tastes will change as he matures. One day he might be too mature for certain things, but I hope he never outgrows his sense of humor and his desire to play games with us as a family. I love to hear him laugh. As we head into his holiday break from school I hope we get to have lots of family time and we have some new games from Goliath set aside to play together. I can't wait to hear him laugh as one of us Pops the Pig!
