He's a Lego Maniac! Did you know there's Lego sets JUST for Preschoolers?

Well, it's official. I have a child old enough to play with real, actual Legos, and not the (still fun) Duplo or Megablocks. Lego has fairly recently come out with these JUNIOR sets, which are fully functional Lego pieces, but instead of having 16 little tiny pieces making up the body of a motorcycle, it's just one complete piece, making it easier for beginning Lego Maniacs!

Cuppy-Cakes: Cupcakes + Shapes + Colors = Learning Made Fun (& Delicious!)

Froot Loop found a set of play cupcakes at my parents’ house that I had as a kid. It’s a set of 4 cupcakes with 4 different colored frosting tops. There’s also a cute tray that the cupcakes sit in. Basically, all you do is put the different cupcake tops on the cupcakes and put them in and take them out of the cupcake tray, but it was one of my favorite things to play with and now it’s his too!

Today is going to be a two-fer Tuesday! TWO reviews on ice cream toys, because who doesn't love ice cream? Well, who besides me, because I'm lactose sensitive and cannot eat ice cream... but I do love me some frozen yogurt! 

Toot Your Own Horn: Review of this Awesome Musical Toy For Kids Called the Saxoflute

We visited a local science museum not too long ago using a couple gift cards we got for Christmas. Since we had a little left on the cards and we decided that our boys were still a little too young to really get a whole lot out of the museum, we let them pick out a few things in the gift store. One of the things they picked out was this fun music toy. 

Teething is the WORST! Here's a drug free way to give those little guys some relief!

Cocoa Puff is teething hard and he is miserable. He tries to chew on anything and everything he can reach. A silicone teething necklace gives him a safe surface to chew on. They are fashionable enough to wear too.
