The Fisher-Price Octonauts Octopod Playset provides hours of free play fun

Prior to receiving the Octonauts Octopod Playset to review we hadn’t seen the show.  I was aware of it, but hadn’t seen an episode of it.  Since our oldest has been playing with the Octonauts Octopod Playset he’s been sounding the Octo Alert, rescuing various sea critters and wondering why this show isn’t available on Roku.   Parents who are down with the Octonauts know what I’m speaking about the others will discover it when their child is about 3 or 4.

The Joovy CocoonX2 Double Stroller is the only one you need with two kids

When you have more than one small child who needs a stroller it gets complicated.   When your youngest child is old enough to not be in a car seat while in the stroller your options open up dramatically.   Do you get a jogger stroller, regular stroller or a bike trailer that you can put your little people into?   The Joovy CocoonX2 Double Stroller is all of those types of strollers in one-and it does them all very well. Continue reading The Joovy CocoonX2 Double Stroller is the only one you need with two kids

Our family lessons learned between the first and second child

Our youngest will turn 2 years old in a couple of months.  The cliché that the time flies by is every so true.  You can’t believe they were ever that small and so forth.  The bending of time that happens after the second child is born is quick, you blink and suddenly they’re 2 years old.  If I could talk to myself a couple of months before our second child arrived here is a list of things that I would suggest.

The BMW Maclaren Buggy review

So a couple of months ago I was sent the BMW Maclaren Buggy to review.    We have two children, one 20 month old and one 3.75 YO.  One of them can’t walk too long without bumping into something and the other one sometimes just likes to be pushed around like Ben-Hur.  The BMW Maclaren Buggy is perfect for both of them and for the parent who happens to be pushing them, let’s take a look.

Sunny Decals review: simple & versatile to decorate children’s walls

There are a couple different schools of thought when it comes to decorating a child’s room. Decorate when they’re a newborn or decorate it once you know what things they like. We decided to wait until we knew what 3YO Mojo liked and in his case it was all about animals. Continue reading Sunny Decals review: simple & versatile to decorate children’s walls

What to expect from your 18 month old toddler

Babies start to become fun when they turn 5 months.  Granted they are always fun, but sometimes the work to fun ratio is weighted heavily (exclusively) in work.  By now your little toddler is probably walking to some extent.  What else can you expect from your 18 month old toddler? Continue reading What to expect from your 18 month old toddler

The Sears ‘All things Baby’ sale is a great primer for parents to be

When I have a spare moment (rarely) I think back to when I had free time (before children).   The needless books we purchased provided us with thousands of tips we’ve since forgotten, paranoid thoughts we didn’t listen to (thankfully) and a litany of things we’d need for the baby.   Currently Sears is having the ‘All Things Baby’ sale.  It’s a simple title with samples of everything you’ll need at some point during your time as a parent to small people.
