We got one of these for our little princess. She loves it. I must say we drink alot of tea these days. We got this kitchen because it is one where she can pretend to be a princess too.  It has realistic sounds when she runs the water tap. The burners make sounds to the tea pot boiling and the fying pan frying eggs. There is also a recipe book on this kitchen that talks as she turns the pag...

What a great way to breach the subject of strangers with your little Disney fan!  This book goes over all the safety rules, and why we shouldn't talk to strangers. As Christopher Robin explains these things to the lovable characters of the hundred acre wood, so too they are explained to your child(ren).It's beautifully, and colorfully, illustrated by Tobbin Cuddy, and written by Ka...

They just make me feel good, and they are so beautiful.In her book, "If Teacups Could Talk", Emilie Barnes covers a lot about the tradition of tea time. She encourages us to enjoy not only the tea, but the ritual of tea. She says it's important to slow...

My daughter got this from "Santa" for Christmas last year and she absolutely loves it. This has been a wonderful toy and encourages creativity and we play with it daily. I love how interactive it is and it has all of the menus and recipes to follow and it talks the children through what food they need for a recipe. It even has an interactive phone that talks to you and rings and my da...

Dusty the talking Vacuum is a big hit with my daughter. She loves to pretend that she is doing what Mommy is doing so getting her a vacuum of her own seemed like the right thing to do! Dusty and his attachment come to life, talking and carrying on when you push this toy around. The colorful yarn inside can be seen whirling about like a real vacuum cleaner would do. I like it because it is made ...

2 years ago for Christmas when my daughter was 4 the only thing she wanted for Christmas from Santa was the Dora Talking Kitchen.  Low and behold Santa surprised her on Chrismas morning with that gift along with many others.  She was totally beside herself with joy.  She cooked meals for everyone that whole day.  I think she as dreaming about ingredients as she slept that ni...

My son's friend got this Tonka Tow Truck for Christmas and they both love it and enjoy playing with it. The truck is large enough for little hands which is a nice feature. It's made out of durable plastic that can withstand hard play and outdoor conditions as well. The neatest feature of this truck is the pull down tow rig that talks and say "Hey buddy, hook me up". The boys p...

My daughter has been a huge Dora the Explorer fan ever since she was about two years old.  Her older sister had a Loving Family dollhouse that was her own special toy, so I wanted to get something special for my middle daughter that would be similar for her birthday.  I chose this Dora Talking House because of her love of Dora and because it looked like there would be so many differen...

I have been a customer of Cingular Wireless for 10 years.  They are now ATT/Cingular.  I chose Cingular because they were the first to offer family talk with rollover minutes.  My two sons and I share this plan which gives us 700 anytime minutes to share, as well as unlimited nights and weekends. Any unused anytime minutes which aren't used are rolled over to the next mo...

 My 2 year old son recieved the Dora Talking I-Crayons for Christmas this year and we were both very excited to use them. When you put the carterage in it tells you the colour of the crayon, how to spell it and a lot more. It made colouring even more fun!! The only problem I had with it was when the crayon dropped on the floor and it completely broke off. I was worried it wo...

As a mother of a special needs child I have to do a lot of research and attend special classes to learn how to best help my daughter.  A big area of concern for her is communication.  One day her speech therapist offered a class on It Takes Two to Talk which is also a book that I got to take home.  This book teaches parents how to properly work with their children to establish a ...

We got the Diego's Talking Rescue Center about 6 months ago for our children. It is a very neat looking toy. It is basically supposed to be like a tree house that Diego lives in and takes care of the animals in. It comes with Diego, a 4-wheeler, baby jaguar, a bird, a snake, and several other little animals. It also comes with a helicopter that can attach to the top of the tree house and sp...

I've been with AT&T or Cingular as it was called until recently, for almost 3 years this time, I tried Verizon for a couple of years and went back to them. I truly love the reliability of service, the plans are fairly priced according to industry standards. My only complaint is something that wireless companies across the board seems to do and that is charge you a whopping 45 ...

When we were shopping for her birthday gift, we found the Dora The Explorer- Dora's Talking Kitchen set. We thought this would be a perfect fit for her. At $89.99 the price was fantastic compared to other kitchen sets that typically run well over $100.00...

The size of it is really great it fits perfectly in my kitchen. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is Senior or have special needs. Its buttons are big enough to wor...

I LOVE THESE CARDS!!! The first time I ever saw one of these cards was when my mom sent me an Easter card in the mail. Ever since then I have been seeing them and hearing the everywhere! I absolutely love Hops and YoYo on the Hallmark website. I make my own cards, so I never looked to see if Hops and YoYo were on physical cards too. My mom and I send the e-cards back and forth quite often and t...
