Aloha Friday #10




It is Friday!
We know what that means...
As Kailani says:
"In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My ALOHA....
You know that baby toys can be pretty expensive, depending on what you get them...
And you hear about at Christmas how they end up playing with the boxes and the wrapping paper more than the toy you bought...
So, my question to you is:
What is the "cheapest toy" your baby liked?

With Broxton, I finished drinking a bottle of water and he heard the sound the plastic made...
He was amazed by it! I ended up putting it on the ground and he STILL plays with it!
It rolls everywhere... It makes noises!
Talk about a great "toy"!!!!!!
Aloha!
Okay, answer and visit Island Life!

    My son loves paper towel rolls. They make great drum sticks, elephant noses, horns, etc...

    I have to say that the cheapest "toy" Emily ever liked was last christmas my sister bought her a bunch of books and put them in a gift bag with tissue paper. The tissue paper was a BIG hit. She could crunch it and tear it. She had so much fun! ;0)

    It is very true...don't go nuts and buy a lot of big toys for small children. I can remember having to stretch Christmas out over several days for out oldest daughters first Christmas. Kind of disappointing for the parent.

    Simple toys like the phone with the pull cord or the corn popper as always hits.

    The cheapest were things I made. I fill water bottles with beads and small things and then glue the tops on. My babies always loved that. They also loved things like old remotes or phones. lol

    definitely a box. the bigger, the better. i brought home a new washer and the box it came in served as a "fort" for months! we cut windows out and a door. very, very cool.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
