If you saw one of my latest Instagram posts, you surely have seen my post about Ready Set Go Boxes. I will totally admit I have a slight obsession with looking at all the goodies in these different subscription boxes.  They have boxes for everything and this Ready Set Go one is pretty cool!!!   We were sent their BIRTHDAY BOX and it was full of goodies that we have enjoyed. They also have a monthly subscription service and I think that might be something we look at down the road.  The monthly boxes are packed with goodies for children aged 3-5 years old.  I know that my family calls and asks what my kids are into each month.  I have also had friends call and say, hey what do you recommend to give to a boy/girl and then list the age that they are looking to buy for. The Ready Set Go Box will help those that don't like asking for suggestions, but want to give a great gift!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review...

I don't know about the kids in your house, but around here, our likes and dislikes tend to change from one thing to the next, while others stay around forever.  The latest?  Broxton has really been into space, talking about the planets and the moon all the time.  I was thrilled when we were selected to be sent a copy of the National Geographic Mars t.v. series.  Except, when it arrived, I was informed "mom, you know I am not into SPACE stuff these days!"  Well, excuse me, you were (as of last week,) so I thought it was cool.  I ignored him no-longer having an interest and started the Blu-Ray for me to watch.

Stop what you are doing right now and go purchase the movie, Sing.  We were able to review it recently and we all loved it.  We had a family movie night to see it and it was a great one.  We even had Marc watching it with us and everyone from the youngest to the oldest loved 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. Opinions expressed are my own and are not influenced by monetary compensation. Savannah and Broxton both love music, so I thought this was going to be a good one for us to enjoy. Broxton wanted to set it up like a movie theater.  We had to dim the lights, then turn them off all the way. We had drinks and snacks and we made the most out of it.  Remember, sometimes it is the little things that mean the most!!!! So, what is SING??? SING Special Edition is available with 3 New ...

I love books and love that my children seem to love them as well.  We have them in pretty much every single room in our house.  They are in the car, when I take my purse, I normally have one or two small ones in there for Savannah. Not too long ago she went to the dentist. (FIRST TIME! Mommy's baby is NOT a baby anymore!)  Since both of the kids had appointments, I knew we were going to be there for a bit, so I brought a book for each one. We had just received a couple new ones for review, so it was perfect timing!  The books we took were the latest from the Ripley's Believe It or Not series.  Yes!  You surely did read that right, they just released two board books for the younger crowds!  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.

When it comes to baby gifts, what is a gift you normally give?  I like to give something they can use as well as something they can keep!  When we had Broxton's baby shower, my best friend requested that instead of buying cards for us, to write a message in a book for us. That was a great idea and something I try to do now!  I was given the chance to review a beautiful keepsake gift recently and I am telling you now, it is a beauty! Are you familiar with Kleynimals?

I was able to experience a first for me this weekend.  At almost 40 years old, I have never seen a live puppet show!!!  (Please tell me I am not the only one!) So, let me tell you about it. It was at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta and the puppet show featured Pete the Cat.  If you don't know who that is, Pete the Cat is a character in a book that Broxton was first introduced to in preschool, so we are familiar with him and we love that groovy cat!   Photo Credit - Darrell Hazelrig 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.

Are you looking for a book for Easter?  We have a cute book that we are reading right now.  Too Many Carrots by Katy Hudson is what I am talking about.  I will say, I was about to say I didn't like it, until I finished it.  It is a book with a great message!   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. Opinions expressed are my own and are not influenced by monetary compensation. Too Many Carrots follows Rabbit as he collects carrots.  He just LOVES them and feels that he can not get enough of them.  He is a bit of a hoarder... It eventually leads to him not having room to live in his own place.  Lucky for him, he has great friends that want to help him out and each offers for him to stay there.  The problem is this, Rabbit is a bit selfish and takes all of his carrots with him, ending ...
