As long as I have been a mom, I have known of Thomas and Friends. When I was pregnant with Broxton,  I had Marc read books to him.  When Broxton was born, I kept reading the books and he ended up loving the TV show.  We watched all of them.  We had so many of the DVD's to enjoy, not to mention toys... lots and lots of toys!!!!  We were lucky to even get to go ride Thomas when it came near us (on more than one occasion!)  Saying all of that, when we were given the chance to review a new Thomas and Friends toy, we were all about it, especially considering we now have Savannah to get aboard!

The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom - Stop Motion Special #Ad

I will be totally honest, I have never been a fan of Spongebob.  The boys loved it when they were young and Broxton loves it too.  That being said, he watches it at daycare, so I really can't say much.  I don't think there is really anything "wrong" with it, but just not for me.  Hey, if we were all the same, what a boring place this would be, right?  Anyways, Kids at daycare will be excited to know that Nickelodeon has a new DVD being released September 11th.  I do think it is pretty cool that this is a stop motion special!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

We fell in love with Josh Funk books when we were fortunate enough to be sent a review copy of Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast a bit ago.  We loved it and decided that we would share it with his class, so I took it and read it to them when I learned that there was a follow up book.  I thought that I shared this with you all, but it was stuck in my drafts... so now that we have a 3rd book coming out, I thought what better time than the present?     FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Toys sure have changed from when I was a kid.  I mean, I know we had some pretty cool things, but man oh man, did they come out with new toys like every single day back then?  I can't lie, some are pretty cool that makes me want to buy them for us to have (like we really NEED another toy) but then some make me wonder who thinks they need them and why?! We were recently at a store and spotted a doll that changed between a cupcake to a doll.  Of course, we had never seen them before and Savannah just HAD TO HAVE IT.   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.
