This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Disney Movie Club. All opinions are 100% mine. Are you a member of the Disney Movie Club? Right now you can get 4 Disney movies for $1.00 (with free shipping!) as a member of the Disney Movie Club! Im usually careful about joining these types of clubs, but when it comes to Disney Im always happy with the movies I receive. And there have been so many great Disney movies released lately (classics like Oliver and Companyand The Sword and the Stone, too!) that I think this is a terrific deal. I know that I flinch at the prices on Amazon for my favorite movies on DVD and Blu-Ray at regular retail prices. This is an easy way to get the movies you want plus bonus freebies! So the only requirement is that you need to buy five regular-priced…
1. Legos I dont think you can go wrong with Legos theyre so versatile and are perfect for imaginative play! Every kid should have a set by age 2. 🙂 We were lucky enough to get a whole box of classic Legos off of ThredUp it was a total steal! 2. Play Kitchen & Pretend Food This mini wooden kitchen is one of Emmas favorite toys. She makes me cookies and pie quite often, and loves to pretend that Oh no! My cookies are burning! and race in to save her baking. Its so cute! This is a really nice kitchen set, Im loving that its all wood. 🙂 It was a total plus that all the wooden food and utensils came with this set, too! 3. VTech Tote n Go Laptop Emma loves the VTech Tote n Go Laptop. There are quite a few different learning games on it…

A Rockin Rider Deluxe Talking Spring Horse from Tek Nek Toys! I have always wanted a spring horse! Okay, I mean when I was a kid I wanted one. 😉 But I still think they are the coolest toys ever, and was beyond thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review one! My horse-crazy daughter, Emma, who has turned up her nose at all dolls so far but is an animal-lover through-and-through, is absolutely loving her new horsey, Lacey. From the moment Lacey peeked at her through the hole in the box, Emma was taken with her. She couldnt wait to start riding her and did so immediately, before I even had Lacey installed in her metal frame and springs. I was initially overwhelmed by the number of parts and screws when we opened the box, but I was too impatient to wait for my husband to come home…
Emma is addicted to the Timmy Time TV shows based on Shaun the Sheeps little friend Timmy. She asks to watch them all the time! They really are loved by the entire family, though my husband says he enjoys Shaun the Sheep more than Timmy Time. Timmy Time is geared more toward preschoolers, though, so thats understandable. 😉 The newest Timmy Time DVD was released at the end of November! Go Kart Timmy includes the following episodes: Go Kart Timmy Theres a brand new pedal go-kart in the playground, and all the animals are desperate to have a go especially Timmy! But his eagerness behind the wheel soon leads him into trouble and he reverses into a very smelly compost heap! After cleaning the go-kart, Timmy starts to understand the importance of waiting his turn. Timmy On Wheels Timmy is having fun on the tricycle, but Ruffy does not have…
The Movie: What Its About: Dr. Seusss Holidays on the Loose is a collection of three terrific holiday classics by Dr. Seuss It actually should be called The Grinchs Holidays on the Loose because that rather unpleasant green fellow stars in all three of these movies: How the Grinch Stole Christmas: This joyous, heart-tickling holiday event based on Dr. Seuss beloved book and featuring the voice of Boris Karloff has delighted all ages since its 1966 debut. Can the Grinch steal the towns holiday spirit by stealing their holiday treats? Or does Christmas perhapsmean a little bit more? The answers to those questions unfold charmingly under Chuck Jones pitch-perfect direction. The Grinch Grinches The Cat in the Hat: What happens when the mischievous Grinch decides to wreak havoc on the world, but the happy and ever-so-delightful Cat in the Hat stands in his way? The result is a triumphant story…
F.A.I.R.I.E.S.: Baptism By Fire is a new faith-based novel for kids and young teens that is sure to be loved by many. I was especially excited when I first heard about it because its one of the few fantasy adventures in the Christian fiction genre. We need more like this! Heres a short description: Unwittingly chosen to join an army of fairies, who fight for the Light of the One, a teenaged girl learns about spiritual warfare as she attends a military academy with fantastical beings. If you enjoy meaningful books with deep characters, fantastical creatures, imaginative made-up worlds, and exciting adventures, youll enjoy F.A.I.R.I.E.S. It reminds me in a way of books like The Chronicles of Narnia or A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline LEngle. Its a really enjoyable read, and you get caught up in the characters lives quickly. I did struggle a bit in the beginning to…
This year Im teaching Emma the story of Jesus birth and she is sooo fascinated! I read her the story in a few books but what really helped her remember the story was when I told it through felt pieces. Heres the angel telling Mary she is to give birth to Gods son. Then Joseph and Mary being turned away from the Inn. No room! They find shelter in a stable and Jesus is born. The angels appear to the shepherds nearby. The shepherds worship Jesus. And, of course, the three wise men bring their gifts. 🙂 This isnt a sponsored post but I cant help but recommend this felt set it is beautiful quality and so detailed! I love it. And all of these pieces came in the The Birth of Jesus set from Betty Lukens (you can also find it on Amazon.com). Its $10.50 for the felt pieces…
and putting them under the tree for my little guy for Christmas. Okay, not really, but its so funny that he has a billion toys and yet his favorites are pots and pans, and other things I did not buy. He even likes Emmas pretend play pots and pans and toy kitchen! Another thing he uses/plays with all day long is this walker. I know Ive mentioned before that its been well-loved a friend gave it to us. So theres another toy he loves that I didnt buy. Yesterday he entertained himself for quite a long time playing with my clean laundry. It might be time to go through his toys again and get rid of some stuff whens the last time you did that?
