So I knew that my 5 year old would love to review the Sylvanian Families Cake Decorating Set. Sylvanian Families Cake Decorating Set…

L.O.L. Surprise! Easter hunt

Posted on April 10, 2017April 10, 2017 by jenny

My children love an Easter Egg hunt. A little bit of me blames those YouTube videos I keep finding them watching. They would spend hours watching other children unboxing very large eggs if they could. However, this love of unboxing videos meant I didn’t hesitate when offered our very own L.O.L. Surprise! Easter hunt. Little Sis…

The perfect STEAM toys for kids

Posted on March 24, 2017January 13, 2020 by jenny
