Magna Tiles rock.

Magna Tiles are hands-down the most played with toy in our household. We got them from our lovely friend Kim and little did we know that they'll provide endless hours of building fun. I was honestly a little shocked when I looked them up to potentially add on to our set, when I saw how pricy they are, but now, I can honestly say, they are worth every single penny. It's such a fab gift to any 2 year old and up. Make sure to get the Clear ones, it's fun to see 'through' the tiles and see what's inside.

Food for Thought Lunchbox

This "Food for Thought" lunch box has been specially designed to hold fruit whilst protecting it from bruising or overheating. Children will be able to enjoy lunchbox fruit at its best which will in turn enocurage them to reach their 5-a-day target. A unique, colour changing thermo-spot on the underside of the box helps achieve this by indicating when food has overheated. This handy lunchbox also comes with 2 plastic pots, designed for holding grapes, nuts or diced fruit. It’s also dishwasher safe, but if you want it to last longer, then you should wash it by hand.

My friend Jennifer uses it for her 4 year old and it's so cool!

The Incredible Book Eating Boy

Henry loves books--eating them, that is. The more books he eats, the smarter he becomes, prompting him to devour them at an alarming rate. Henry imagines that if he keeps eating at his current pace, he could eventually become the smartest person on earth. Unfortunately, he starts to get sick from eating so many books, and everything he has learned becomes all jumbled up. The Incredible Book Eating Boy

play station

John stopped by and our little Ella pointed at him at one point and said: Swing! Swing! I didn't get it until I looked closer and yes, indeed, his t-shirt sported a tree with a swing, titled "Play Station". Made me smile!

Children Left Alone at Home, Worriedly

Many parents with young children dream of the day they can walk out the door without a baby sitter, turning a stroll with the dog or a trip to the bank into an exhilarating adventure. But unlike so many aspects of child care that are clearly laid out by pediatrician’s decree or government regulation, this is a rite of passage without clear guidelines. New York, like most states, has no law stipulating an age of aloneness, though parents can be charged with reckless endangerment if tragedy befalls children while they are home without supervision.
