Product recommendations: Summer travel with the kids

We recently returned from two amazing, back-to-back vacations.  We visited the Dominican Republic, came home for a week, and then jetted off to Florida for our first family visit to Walt Disney World.  I have been itching to write about our adventures and especially the awesome products that helped keep us and our kids happy [...]

Pipila Portable UV Pacifier Sterilizer

NO WAY was I EVER going to be a mom who had a kid that used a pacifier.  Nope.  My first didn’t use one, so why would any babies thereafter? Well…I stand corrected. My second baby is a pacifier baby.  Those “paci’s” help her stay calm.  Here we are, 10 + months later and not [...]

Those baby blues need Baby Banz

Congratulations to our winner, commenter number 37, Allyson! So many people comment on my 10 month old’s stunning blue eyes, so, I feel the need to protect those baby blues while we’re spending our days outdoors, underneath the hot, glaring sun.

Trunki

I just ordered a Trunki for our preschooler.  I heard about this ride-on suitcase a few years ago and really haven’t had a need for one…until now.  I’m kind of giddy about it.  I kind of want to ride it myself, except, I’m a ‘lil too big for it.  Oh well, I’ll live vicariously through [...]

Diggity Kids: Kids can travel in comfort

One of the main things on my mind as we prepare for our trips in and out of the country this summer is “How can I make sure my kids are comfortable?“  Because, an uncomfortable kid is a whiny kid and we don’t want whiny kids to spoil a good time.  Ouch, did I just [...]

LeapFrog: Math Adventure to the Moon

LeapFrog’s Math Adventure to the Moon DVD (MSRP $14.98) was released recently and we were given a copy of it to watch and talk about here on ParentSphere. Well, my 4-1/2 year old completely digs this thirty-eight minute long DVD.  She loves the story and she’s so proud of herself for her ability to count [...]

We recently [...]
