Ride Faster With Shox!
Published on Monday, September 20, 2010 by Caryn Bailey If you follow me on Twitter, then you know that we don't stay still much. I have a very active little boy who doesn't like to stay put! So when we're not trekking around Southern California, you'll find my two favorite men in the entire world outside doing things like this... My son recently received his very first scooter! He was super excited, but I wasn'... Read More » -

Summer of Toys: Moon Dough
Published on Sunday, August 29, 2010 by Caryn Bailey On those days, when we're not out at Disneyland or splashing in our community pool, I try to offer my son diverse learning and play experiences. Apart from coloring, baking, and pretend play, my son really enjoys play dough. Conventional dough dries out when left out and can get stuck in carpets and such. Thanks to Team Mom, we had an opportunity to check out M... Read More » -

Backyard Discovery
Published on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 by Caryn Bailey You can have a great moment of discovery in your own backyard...Jeff Corwin, Wildlife Biologist I was on the phone with a friend the other day, and we were talking about the guilt we feel when we actually have to spend a day at home. My son wakes up every morning asking "where we're going today." I gently explain to him that everyday isn't Disneyland (particularl... Read More » -

Bat (Rain) Gear!
Published on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 by Caryn Bailey It's days like Monday that remind me it's still rainy season! We don't get a ton of rain in Southern California, but when we do, it's like we don't know what to do with ourselves. For many states, going out in the rain is normal. They just don their rain gear and do what they need to do! For our rainy days, we've outfitted my son in some very cool Batman... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Sesame Street Neigh...
Published on Thursday, November 26, 2009 by Caryn Bailey When I look back one year ago, I think of how much my son has developed. His speech, his fine and gross motor skills... He wakes up singing, has gotten much better at riding his scooter, and does things that constantly amaze us. A few weeks ago (ish) my son was playing in his room while I took a quick shower. When I got out I went to his room. He looked up at me... Read More » -

Bella Sara
Published on Wednesday, March 4, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Last fall, I wrote about Bella Sara, a very popular trading card product that was created specifically for girls. While I don't have a little girl (at least not YET!), I definitely want to share with you the latest. If you're not familiar with the company, here's a little more information from the site: Bella Sara features horse-themed fantasy cards with love... Read More » -

Qlubb…Are You In It?
Published on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 by Caryn Bailey There are a TON of social network sites these days. From MySpace to Facebook to Twitter ...I honestly can't keep up with all of them. I am not the most internet-savvy gal on the block, but even I was able to figure out Qlubb...the latest web-based group utility that allows any social group (i.e. play groups, sports teams, book clubs) to connect and share infor...

This year I'm buying more "toys" than anything else since all of my friends have children. If you've walked into Toys R Us lately, you know that there are hundreds and hundreds of toys to choose from. Its actually overwhelming! Since I'm a huge fan of open-ended toys that ent...

Review: The Secret Mountain
Published on Friday, November 21, 2008 by Caryn Bailey My son and I have this nightly reading ritual. It's our special time to get in a snuggle and wind down before bed. I believe that reading is crucial at this stage of his development when his language skills are literally exploding on a daily basis. It seems like from one day to the next he started saying three and four word phrases like "What is that" and "I don... Read More » -

Trading for Girls
Published on Friday, October 31, 2008 by Caryn Bailey Contrary to popular belief, girls enjoy trading cards just like boys. I can attest to this since I was an avid collector of a trading card so digustingly popular, I almost cringe. I collected the oh-so-popular Garbage Pail Kids (although I have no idea why my mother would let me). Thankfully, parents now have a sweeter, more magical option with Bella Sara tradin...

Let’s Play Clean!
Published on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 by Caryn Bailey My son has this on again off again relationship with the bathtub. Somedays he wants to play all day. Most days he starts crying as soon as he hears the water. I was so excited when Team Mom gave us the 411 on Bath Blizzard, an innovative way to create a bubble bath for kids. My son is very intrigued with bubbles (we have bubble time at his play group) so I had... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 by Caryn Bailey It is in playing, and perhaps only in playing, that the child is free to be creative. Donald Winnicott You don't understand how excited I was when Team Mom notified me of the opportunity to review the all-new Sesame Street Building Sets by K'NEX! First off, my son absolutely adores Sesame Street...particularly Play With Me Sesame. Secondly, my son loves to take t... Read More » -

Going Bananas With The Banana Splits!
Published on Friday, August 15, 2008 by Caryn Bailey I have to admit that up until a week ago, I had never heard of The Banana Splits, a costumed rock band popular in the '60s. They are well known for combining kid-style comedy and contemporary music. Band members Fleegle the dog, Drooper the lion, Bingo the gorilla, and Snorky the elephant hang out in their Banana Pad dabbling in their music and telling jokes. ... Read More »
