Veggie Tales: Pistachio

You know what DVD is on rotation at the Tales house right now … Pistachio from Veggie Tales! This is the fourth Veggie Tales DVD we’ve watched and I am as thrilled as always with the lessons learned, clever script and the fact that there is absolutely no fault in letting your child watch it. [...]

Star Wars Costumes for Anytime Play! (WIN!)

A few close friends know I am currently Star Wars obsessed. It was bound to happen raising two boys. They love anything “hero-like”. So it makes sense after being enamored with characters like Spiderman, Hulk and Ironman, they would move on to Galactic Heroes like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Won and Clone Troopers.
Already, we do “dress-up” with [...]

Go HGTV with your Playhouse: Redesign with Brik-a-Blok

My kids LOVE Legos. It’s an obsessive love. And I admit, I love watching them build and create. Often as we make towering buildings, I would think how cool it would be if we could make these LIFE-SIZE, so we can crawl through them. Actually, I am totally amazed that Lego’s hasn’t come up with [...]

New Toddler Belt from TYG Designs #Win

My oldest son, 3.5 years old, is not “traditionally sized”. What do I mean by that? When I put pants on him, they either fit around his waist, but are too short. Or they fit properly his length, but are wide around his waist, so his pants are hanging off. So that means we often [...]

It’s a Pixie-palooza

It seems as if pixies have been all the rage the past few years, thanks to a certain green fairy named Tinkerbell! It’s amazing as I walk around Disney and see just as many little girls choosing to dress as Tink, even with princess options like Belle, Aurora and Jasmin! Plus, kids can either choose [...]

We’re ProBugs – Are You?

The Tales residence is probugs … well, probiotics, that is. I have been buzzing about the benefits of probiotics on the Mom Buzz for over a year now! Probiotics are good bacteria that live in your intestinal tract. But we are such a germaphobic society that all of our disinfectants and antibiotics are actually causing [...]

Funky Monkey: A Snack with Bite

As you all know, I am a huge Disney nut. We go monthly, if not more. This involves a lot of preparation when you are leaving the house with two kiddos. Change of clothes, sippies and snacks are high on our must-have list. Since I don’t want to purchase snacks and food at high prices [...]
