Erin is a hopelessly devoted wife and momma to a four year old girl and a baby boy. Along with contributing here at Eighty MPH Mom, she began her quest of getting back to the basics with life in general and the food her family eats.
Bugsy doesn't have any many toys. So I was happy to learn we had a chance to review something sweet from Lilliputiens, thanks to HABA. They sent Romeo the Well Fed Toad our way.[*] Well Fed Toad Meets Well Fed Baby Bugsy plays with Romeo every chance he gets! With so much to see, feel, and hear it is no wonder he is so enamored with it! Romeo … [Read more...]
Luv and I are always looking for crafts to do together. So she was beyond excited when she saw a new mini crate from Kiwi Crate on our doorstep![*] Showing someone you love them is easy with the Felt Flowers mini crate. It comes with supplies to make a sweet little bouquet. I let Luv take the crafting reigns and had her read the instructions … [Read more...]
Store-bought vanilla usually contains sugars and is diluted with water. And that is *pure* vanilla extract. Imitation vanilla is a whole 'nother story. Needless to say, I was surprised and a bit irked when I read the ingredients on the back of my bottle of "pure" vanilla extract. That is when I began home-brewing vanilla extract. I'll provide … [Read more...]
Mother's Day seems to have snuck up on me. I can't believe it is less than a week away! I know The Mister always struggles with what to do for me on Mother's Day. I can't help but wonder then how many other fathers out there have a hard time celebrating the mother of their child(ren). Luckily, NOVICA has outlined some unique gift ideas and invited … [Read more...]
Of all the subjects I teach Luv, science is the one that intimidates me. Biology was the only branch of science that interested me as a student. Thankfully, The Young Scientists Club sent us The Magic School Bus Weather Lab to check out.[*] The Young Scientists Club is a website that features single science kits, games, mini kits as well as … [Read more...]
Since we prefer to keep Luv "unplugged", we don't use our television much at all. If the weather isn't cooperating, we turn to books and other indoor activities. So we are always looking for fun games to play together! Blue Orange recently sent us one of their eco-friendly games to play.[*] The basics of Fastrack: * Divvy up the 10 discs … [Read more...]
We were so excited when The Mother Company sent Luv a copy of their newest book to review a few weeks ago! She was first sent a sneak peek .pdf file that she read on my iPad. But the other day her When Miles Got Mad hardcover copy arrived! She happily added it to her bookshelf after reading it again. [*] Mad feelings can be one of the … [Read more...]
Now that Bugsy is on the go, I've got to prepare for all those potential bumps along the way. As best I can without resorting to padding the walls, at least. So timing couldn't be better for me to check out the knee pads Crawlings sent for us to review.[*] Crawlings created knee pads for all stages in a child's life; from crawling to … [Read more...]
There isn't a day that goes by where we don't have music playing in our home. Music and laughter provide a great soundtrack to my family's day to day life. My daughter loves to play music {to the best of her ability, that is} and we love to listen! So Luv was delighted when PlanToys sent her their Melody Xylophone for her to check out![*] A … [Read more...]
Spring is looking like it might stick around. *at least I hope* So, last week I changed out our seasonal wardrobes and shoes. It is time to shake the winter cold and lighten things up! Luv especially likes to see what shoes she can wear. She loves metallics. Lucky for her, ENZO sent her a new style from their Spring Collection to add some sparkle … [Read more...]
