Fairy Tales Hair Care Products (Review)
| February 22, 2012 | Posted by barb under Hair Care, kids stuff, Reviews |
Patience is 10. Piper is 8. In the last few months they’ve decided that they’re both much too old to take baths. They feel that it’s time to shower on their own; without any assistance from me. Agreed… To help the girls along, the wonderful people @ Fairy Tales Hair Care – a leading children’s… Keep Reading…

Giveaway: (DVD) Chuck & Friends: Friends to the Finish
| February 6, 2012 | Posted by barb under Entertainment, Giveaways, kids stuff |
The Adventures of Chuck & Friends is one of about a dozen shows Patience and Piper enjoy watching when tuned into the hub. They like Chuck & Friends because it reminds them of another one of their favorites—Chuggington, only this on has tons of trains and conductors while Chuck & Friends are dump trucks. I believe the messages taught/encouraged are both the same (working… Keep Reading…

Improved Moon Dough Brings More Fun
| December 29, 2011 | Posted by barb under kids stuff |
I am so glad the makers of Moon Dough decided to change their formula up a bit. They’ve really done well with it. What I mean is; It’s not nearly as messy as it used to be. It feels a lot softer and smoother. It doesn’t crumble as fast and it’s not—at all—hard to clean… Keep Reading…

Boy this was too much fun. These little “HexBug” creatures are amazing. But watch out…because just like any bug, they can get away from you—real fast—if you’re not careful (LOL)!

I’m a sucker for Frisbee throwing. It’s been a while since I’ve done it, I’m never any good at it, but I love it just the same! I was asked to try a cool light-em-up disc (which, in my eyes, is better than a Frisbee). And when it arrived; Patience, Piper, hub and I headed… Keep Reading…
