I have been a fan of ABCmouse.com since 2012. Recently I contacted them about adding their program in my Annual Holiday Gift Guide because I love giving the gift of fun education to my children.

ABCmouse.com is an early learning software developed by Age of Learning, Inc. for the purpose of using technology to educate children through a full online curriculum. The current program will benefit children ages two through second grade with curriculum created by a board of teachers and educational experts from a variety of fields including science and history.

Zubels high quality sweaters, knit hats, and dolls are very soft. They have so many designs to choose from that are great for Santa pictures, holiday events, or even gifts to treasure. Their sweaters are very soft and not at all itchy which is a big deal when you want a sweater for a toddler.

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.

It's that time of the year again! It's time for our Annual Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide! We already have a few sponsors set up and I'm so excited to get this year rolling! If you would like to see your product featured, please feel free to contact us.



Sponsors So Far:

Our group consists mostly of my kids and my sister-in-law's kiddos, but we do have a few mutual friends and we all like to get together whenever we can. Which was harder this time of year, but it was nice that we were able to make it work. I love the items we received from Bright Starts.

These products are featured in our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide.

 

My daughter is in preschool and although she carries a special bag to school, she still needs a special backpack for herself for when she goes to dance or spends the night out somewhere. So when I received the opportunity to review the super cute Coolwoo Mouse Backpack for Kids, I jumped all over it.

 

Coolwoo backpacks are made with neoprene like diving material, so if something is spilled on the outside or it's a rainy day, everything inside will still stay dry. It is made with BPA free, Phthalate free, PVC free, and PD free materials. It has a front pouch for snacks and adjustable mesh bottle pockets. It also has padded, adjustable comfy shoulder straps.

 

I received the Lil' Dimples Santa Claus, Ralphy the Reindeer, and the Toy Soldier in Blue. Each Zubels are hand knit with 100% super soft organic cotton yarns.

I received complimentary products to share this post. All opinions are my own.

Keep little builders learning with the LeapFrog Build & Discover Tool Set, designed just for toddlers ages 2 years and up. My son is loving this because he is at a very hands on stage right now and he loves to bang and "fix".
