A few years ago the boys wanted night lights they could take to bed with them. We finally found some kids night lights at Ikea for their 6th birthday.
I recently saw these OXO night lights and I know what to get if we need new nightlights. I love these blue and green OXO Candela Tooli [...]

Hoppy Easter!

April 4, 2010

I can’t resist a good bunny pun! This Wonderworld Hopping Bunny Walker is the most adorable bunny toy I could find, and the cutest walker ever.

I am kind of loving ImagiPLAY. This wooden spinning top set comes with 8 wooden tops and instructions for a game called Bambaram that is played by kids in India. From what I can gather using the magic of the internets, the game involves trying to push each others tops out of the circle. My [...]

Doll Houses for Boys

March 15, 2010

I don’t meant to discriminate unfairly, really I don’t. Our two boys have never been troubled by playing with doll houses that look like houses. We have one and it has seen plenty of play.
