We have two young boys, and their snow boots need to be durable, easy to put on and off, durable, and--did I mention, um, DURABLE?  The Land's End Kid's Snow Flurry Boots use a velcro closure that allows the children to slide their boot in and then close the boot, making it snow-tight even for toddlers.  Our children have used these boots since they were two years old, and eve...

I love Crest toothpaste products, and I was especially happy, when in addition to the tubes, they started marketing other types of containers that were not as messy. Kid's Crest comes in a stand up dispenser, and you lightly squeeze the bottle, to put the gel on your toothbrush. The container then returns to its former shape. It's called the "Neat Squeeze" bottle. Wh...

I have two little girls who both have long thick hair that tangles easily. When my youngest, who is three, kept crying because of all the tangles in her hair, I knew I had to find a good detangling shampoo. I have found over the years that you don't have to buy expensive products to find a "good buy". I often use Suave products myself and have found most of them to work very ...

Several years back I remember I found new products just released at the market, Eskulin’s Disney Mist Cologne for kids. I was curious how it would smell, and so I opened the lid and sprayed a little of each variant (there were five variants if I’m not mistaken). To my surprise, each cologne scent was very fresh although these colognes were meant for kids. I liked the Mickey variant ...

 Kid's love colored furniture and I'm preety sure my kids would vote for that  too. I had bought these two colored kids chairs when I had visited Pretoria, Southafrica. Me and my husband were window shopping when I glanced inside one of a huge and well equipped toystore that i had ever seen.My five year old twins love coloured furniture items and this was just so right for the...

I feel as though I am addicted to Disney's PJ pals! It started so innocently with the purchase of a pair of Buzz Lightyear PJs from Disney online about five years ago. Then, with Disney's amazing sales, PJ Pal pajamas have become one of my favorite gift items for all the children in my extended family. Disney PJ Pal pajamas come in winter and summer styles. The winte...

The book "Looking Into Nature's Secrets" by Reader's Digest is a hardcover kid's book with a cut out on the front cover.  That cut out shows a multi-layer scene of a pond and tree.  The layers that make it up are plastic sheets on each page of the book.  While this adds visual interest to the book, it really does not give any further information to the child...

Who doesn't love polar bears and ice cream? This book titled, Ice Cream Larry, is one of four (I believe) books written about the lovable polar bear, Larry. We enjoyed the book, Hotel Larry, and this one with the tempting cover art looked like fun.Larry is not your average polar bear.  He loves blueberry muffins and sometimes wears sunglasses. In this story, Larry spends the night in t...

Amy's Organics recently introduced kids frozen entrees.  Though I usualy try to feed our daughter homemade food, we all find ourselves in a rush sometimes.  I purchased both flavors to try Macaroni and Cheese and Baked ztit.  They each come with broccoli, a focaccia with tomato sauce and cheese and a apple dessert.  It includes all the food groups in perfect portions.&nb...

When I was planning our first trip to Disney World, I scoured the shelves of Barnes and Nobles looking for the best book to help me plan.  I spent hours (literally) reading and studying the books that they had there.  And this one was my FAVORITE because it is bright, packed full of information, and has TONS of pictures.  So, I bought it. The book is written for Kids and has c...

My 4 year old son does not like eating vegetables.  He will only eat veggies if they are pickled...go figure!  I have always given him a multi-vitamin, but I was a bit distrubed at the amount of sugar content as well as food coloring in the popular children's vitamins for sale on the drugstore shelf.  I was searching the vitamin shelves at my local health food store when I ca...

'Kids Pick the Funniest Poems," was borrowed from my son's first grade teacher, and so my son brought it home. We read it together at night together, and some of the poems provided much entertainment indeed. This book was arranged by Bruce Lansky. Children all over America voted for their favorite poems, and the top voted ones were put together in this book. The book features such ...

One of my favorite children's shows for Easter is It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown. Originally made in 1974 by Charles Schulz, I consider this a Peanut's classic! Since the Easter Beagle animated cartoon is not very long in length, I was happy that another special, It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown, is included on the same disc. Linus is at it again. He is trying to convin...

The books about the Wayside School, written by Louis Sachar, are hysterical.  This particular book is Wayside School Get A Little Stranger. For added fun for kids, the word "Stranger" on the book cover, glows in the dark.When I read the first book about Wayside School, I thought it was one of the funniest books I ever read.  Where did the author come up with this stuff, I wo...

School year 2009-2010 is about to start for my kids so we are preparing for other stuff we left to buy. When we bought our birthday gift today for my niece I also bought some stuff for my daughter. I bought her one hair clip, 2 headbands and two of this Sorella Beige kid's bra LP6605 Size 28. These pieces are just additions to her five bras so that she will have enough bras to wear for a wh...

I bought this tooth paste for my child as per the suggestion of my family doctor. Even before my child became one and half, all his teeth had come out. When he became one and half years old I sought the doctor’s advice. Now it is almost one year since he started using it. This particular paste has sweet strawberry flavor and my baby loves it. Doctor had also told me that this paste do...

My daughter is a small fourteen year old that wants to wear cool clothes.  She loves clothes from Abercrombie and Fitch, especially their jeans, because that seems to be what all her friends are wearing.The clothing at Abercrombie and Fitch is very expensive, with jeans sometimes costing over one hundred dollars.  A good solution for my daugther is to get jeans from abercrombie. ...

Wouldn’t it be better to leave your children a healthy earth than to provide expensive earth-crushing designer clothing? Fig Kids has come up with a full line of kids clothing that is nothing less than earth-friendly and designer ready.  Many fashion advanced celebrities such as Julia Roberts has been known to turn not only her house into a modern earth-friendly version but also dr...

This museum has it all.  We took our kids to the museum this year (they were 1 and 3).  I was wondering how much of it they would be able to do and was truly amazed.  They have so much to offer, 4 floors plus the basement.  The museum had science, mystery, world experiences, and even a play area.  I didn't realize how important play really is to a child until I visi...
