WowWee Alive Cubs




My children are great kids. They love toys, but are usually they play more with the boxes and wrappings more than the toy itself. They like the simple toys usually, I think it's great and they are not hard to please. Well, this Holiday Season Santa sent us a couple of gifts early for Korbyn and Nevaeh, the WowWee Alive Cubs. (Because Santa doesn't have room to bring all the toys at once) They make realistic baby animal sounds, have animated mouths and eyes, and are so so soft and cuddly. The WowWee Alive Cubs are life-like, huggable baby animals that feature plush bodies and animated facial and vocal expressions triggered by users’ touch. Children and animal-lovers alike can nurture a lovable WowWee Alive Lion Cub, Panda Cub, Polar Bear Cub, and White Tiger Cub in their very own living rooms.
Leave the Alive Cub for five minutes and she will enter Sleep Mode and then snore for five minutes before powering down. It's still hard for me to believe that it's a robot, but yet still so cuddly and soft. We were very impressed with these cubs and know that these will be one of the hot items for this Holiday season!
Pandas are very playful when they are cubs. They usually live in mountainous areas in Central China, but the WowWee Alive Panda Cub wants you to take it home so it can play with you!HighlightsStroke its back, pat its head or cradle it in your arms and it responds with blinking eyes, an animated mouth and cub sounds!The perfect childhood companion - great for daytime play and for night-time cuddling.
Realistic baby animal soundsSoft and cuddlyAnimated mouth and eyesActivate the Alive Cub's sensors when you pet him - he will purr and mew! Leave the Alive Cub for five minutes and he will enter Sleep Mode, snoring for five minutes before powering down

A must have for this Holiday Season! Parents with Style approved!

Elf Magic - Start a tradition!



We found some more elves in our home this past week..they just magically appeared! Our kids absolutely love playing with them and the excitement they bring to our family is priceless. Korbyn will carry them around all day if I let him, he keeps giving them kisses and hugs. Elf Magic is a great way to start a new tradition with your kids that they can pass on to their children.
Here are all the juicy details about these adorable elves!
Elf Magic... A Timeless Christmas Tradition (from their site)
Elf Magic is the timeless Christmas-Elf tradition that has created special memories for countless children and families. When considering Christmas traditions that bring the season to life, it’s natural to conjure up stories of Santa. Elf Magic Elves have something different in mind – they encourage an upbeat Christmas animated through nightly adventures and daily play to help children instill memories, have fun and reinforce the true meaning of Christmas and family values. We hope you and your family gain as much pleasure from Elf Magic as we have.
The Elves are very busy, so asking Santa early allows plenty of time for the Elves to finish their work at the North Pole! Simply write a letter to Santa asking him to reserve a special Elf to visit and spend Christmas at your home. Crackers and water are the tasty treat that helps lure an Elf Magic Elf to the home – so be sure the child puts them out at night while he or she waits for the Elf to arrive… the Elf will want at least one serving a night. Why crackers and water, you might wonder? The crackers sound like crunching snow, and the water is melted North Pole Snowflakes, of course!
To the surprise of the child, an Elf “Magically” appears at your home between Thanksgiving and Christmas. That is… once the Elf has finished all of his or her work at the North Pole. Be sure to check for the snowflake on the Elf’s heart placed there by Santa, himself – that’s how you’ll know it’s an authentic Elf Magic elf!
An Elf Magic Elf brings with him a poem, which explains his or her visit, and North Pole Snowflakes, which the child sprinkles on the Elf each night to bring him to life - allowing the Elf to go on all types of adventures! The Elf hides for the child to find the next morning. Wonder where he might hide first?
All the fun doesn’t just happen at night – Elf Magic Elves love to go with you on all of your adventures throughout the day. Their visit is only for a short time, so playing with the Elf Magic Elf makes the visit even more special and creates family memories that will last a lifetime.
On Christmas Day, the child discovers the Elf has returned to the North Pole, and though sad to see the Elf go, he or she knows their special friend will magically return the following year to celebrate Christmas again. Besides, since a whole year is too long for some Elves to stay away, they occasionally drop back in briefly for birthdays and other special celebrations, with the parents’ permission, of course!

They have wonderful original artwork offered on most of their collection, so your child won't be wearing the same clothing as the neighbor kid. Another great part of BABY EGGI is that they give back!

Read this straight from their site. Giving back never looked and felt so good.For the founders of Baby Eggi, having a charitable component to their company not only seemed responsible but natural. Through the Good Eggi program, Jennifer and Julie’s goal is to provide much needed funds to a network of grassroots non-profit organizations dedicated to making the lives of children better, and to pass on the important principle of giving back to the community.
