The nice folks over at MomCentral sent us 2 new products from the new division of Cranium called Cranium Bloom. We love Cranium, and received almost one dozen Cranium products this holiday season, so we might have a bit of a positive bias. However, I think even folks who haven’t binged on Cranium [...]

We received a copy of TOY TIPS and Parenting Hints Magazine before we started our holiday shopping, and explored the Toy Tips website. When the toy recall issue was at its peak, we frequently referred readers from the main blog to the Toy Tips website so they could sign up for Daily Toy Tips [...]

A month or so ago, we received one of the Ceaco pieceless puzzles from the manufacturer, because we review games for their game alter-ego, GameWright. Ceaco also sent out an email alerting us to their very cool video about the pieceless puzzles.

We received one of the age 12+ puzzles, and were intimidated by it [...]

I received a box of BabyGanics organic cleaners without cost from the manufacturer. However, they aren’t paying me for my review, even though this may well sound like it – I just fell in love with their products. Now that many school systems (here’s one example) are eliminating chemical cleaners for the safety [...]

DayRunner has created a new Family Matters organizational and calendar system, which is designed to help families get and stay organized. The disorganized gaggle of girls were invited to review this for Parent Bloggers and try to get ourselves organized.

My youngest was [...]

When I saw the email asking for reviewers for Parent Bloggers Network members for JumpStart World, I was intrigued. When I opened the email, this phrase jumped out at me: “it’s like World of Warcraft for kids, and educational”! As soon as I saw that, I was hooked. My older daughters have [...]

Our family has special dietary needs – no gluten, no dairy, and no berries. This means that a lot of our dessert ingredients are different from others. It doesn’t mean that they taste any worse, though! We have a family favorite called “Better than Brownies” because, well, they are better than regular [...]

I have spent far too much money over the years on dog (and cat) toys that were either never played with or played with once and then forgotten. In the past few years I have become very cynical about dog toys, thinking that the vast majority of them were simply made for suckers who wanted [...]

I love having blogger business cards – it makes it so much easier when you meet someone at a blogger meet-up, or even when you meet someone at the park or library! It’s so much handier to have a card than to need to go search for a piece of paper and a pen!
There are [...]
