Nanny to Mommy

My children love to play pretend and make believe. I love encouraging this in each and every way that I can. Plus you know I am a fan of subscription boxes, so insert Bramble Box Pretend Play Kits which is a monthly subscription Box for kids ages 3-7.

Bramble Box delivers themed Pretend Play Activity Kits for kids 3-7, to your door every month. In each kit you will receive a mixture of hand's on pretend play materials, crafts & activities (sometimes a book) and more to inspire creative play, curated into a single recycled cardboard mailer. Each kit focuses on learning through play with emphasis on math, writing, reading, art or science. Choose to receive their surprise monthly theme or choose from some of their favorites (if you don't feel like a surprise)!

My daughter is a huge fan of playing pretend, dressing up, and using her imagination. For the past few years her "dress up wardrobe" has expended. In fact, when we organized the play room, I decided to buy a child's size clothing rack for all of her play clothes. I have worked with Great Pretenders for the past two years on my Holiday Gift Guide. And each when they contact me, I am so excited to see their new quality, products at great prices.

The Great Pretenders story is one that starts like many. Once upon a time, there was a mom troubled by the lack fun and imaginative toys for her children. Baffled by this, she set out on her ambitious journey to come up with creative, pretend-play toys that would light up any child's imagination. Fast forward; her endeavors transcended into a vastly successful dress-up and costume business which manufactures award-winning toys – an innovative leader in the pretend-play market for children.

We enjoyed a nice winter break, but are glad to be back in school. We had a great time on our winter break doing crafts, playing dress up, and so much more.

My daughter loves playing pretend, but when she isn't feeling her best it is hard for her to be creative.



I have mentioned how we use probiotics in our house to keep a healthy body. A healthy overall
body means a healthy mind. I used them while I was pregnant to stay healthy during flu season
and am still taking them during my breastfeeding journey.

Recently my daughter had a nasty wasp nest in her play house. It's summer and we want to enjoy the outside, but I don't want to have to worry about my daughter getting stung while she pretends she is on a captain of a pirate ship or on a bear hunt in a dark, spooky cave (both things she actually pretends the most).
