Bring G.I. Joe: Retaliation to Life with Toys from Hasbro

G.I. Joe Retaliation Storm Shadow Mask

This review was made possible by Hasbro, who sent us these G.I. Joe: Retaliation toys to evaluate and play with. I was always more of a G.I. Joe girl than a Barbie girl. Having 3 brothers will do that to you; it’s survival of the fittest I tell ya! The Barbie’s I did have usually played the role of damsel in distress while heroes and villains vied to save or destroy her. Oh, good times I tell ya, good times. {Read More}

Piggy Paint Review

PIGGY_PAINT_LOGO_lg

We definitely don’t think about how many chemicals we’re putting into and on our body on a daily basis. Tons of nail polishes on the market contain toxins like chemical toluene and dibutyl phthalate, which can cause birth defects in the children of pregnant women. They also contain formaldehyde, which is a carcinogen. Definitely not something you want to put anywhere near yourself OR your child! When I discovered Piggy Paint I was so excited that there was a natural nail polish {Read More}

Potty Training & a Party with Pull-Ups!

Poo Poo face

It doesn’t take long after you raise a child to recognize their “potty face.” At first it’s cute, a total “Awww!” moment. And soon it becomes an “Ugh, not again” moment. We’re at the latter stage now with our 3-year-old niece, Raegan. Her Potty Face is super cute; she looks so deep in thought. However, what comes afterwards isn’t so cute.  I caught her “mid potty”. This is her Potty face. Right after I snapped the picture she says, “ ”I {Read More}
