I don’t know about you guys, but we like reading books around here. Furthermore, it’s a real treat to play games in our home (because I confess, mommy isn’t much of a game player!) But to combine the two activities? Well, to suggest such is to secure the enthusiasm of a certain little 3 1/2…

Scribble & Doodle
As the mom to two preschool aged children, I try to be prepared with time fillers when we get ready for situations that involve waiting- the doctor’s office, restaurants, the seemingly never ending line at the post office. Little race cars and animal figures work wonders for my young ‘uns, but they also are increasingly…
The Secret Lives of Princesses
Sterling Books is releasing an entirely one-of-a-kind book later this year in Philippe Lechermeier’s The Secret Lives of Princesses. Focusing on lesser known princesses with a wide variety of backgrounds and personalities, it’s an adventure in tongue-in-cheek humor and information galore.

As I’ve mentioned before, I so wanted to be Nancy Drew when I was younger. My good friend and I at one point…

After her rescue, Winter learned to swim again with the use of a prosthetic tail. If you haven’t read Dawn’s review, be sure to check it out. Now, Crave Entertainment has adapted…
Big & Busy Ocean
At the risk of sounding completely obnoxious I’m going to try to keep this review toned down. (I fully plan on failing at that.) However, just remember that I have never once made a secret of my love of Roger Priddy books. I have been extremely honest on that point. This review should therefore not…
eeBoo Activity Books
Remember those eeBoo Tell Me a Story cards I talked about in August? (Perfect stocking stuffers, btw!) Well, eeBoo has just produced a new line of activity books and they compliment the Tell Me a Story cards perfectly! When you think coloring book, typically you think about something with thin pages that your children can…
