Shopkins Cutie Car Review: I'm going back to the store for more!

Froot Loop has been interested in Shopkins for several months now. Yes, I know they're more of a "girl" toy, but they're really cute and he likes to collect them and play with them, so I'm cool with it. Boys can play with "girl" toys just like girls can play with "boy" toys!

Although we didn't really have a baby shower for Cocoa Puff and I didn't make up his bedroom any special way, his unofficial "theme" was (and still is) Winnie the Pooh. The kid LOVES Winnie the Pooh.

Gee, It's a Geode! Make/Break Your Own At Home With This Kit!

I have always been a geology fan. Although I'm considered to have a B.S. in Physics, my actual degree is in Earth/Space Science. I took a LOT of Earth Science courses in college, including Physical Geography and Geology, Climatology, etc. One of the things I've always been fascinated by is geodes and how they're formed, so when I found this geode breaking kit for sale, I had to try it with Froot Loop!

My Kids Make Me Coffee Every Morning!

Brand: Hape Product: Kid's Wooden Coffee Maker

Coffee. Cappuccino. Latte. Espresso. Americano. Whatever form it comes in, I'll take it. I LOVE my coffee. I have a cup (just one, because I have anxiety and panic attacks and mild insomnia and too much caffeine causes BAD things to happen). However, I drink as much pretend coffee as my kids make me.
