I was honored with the chance to preview Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, the third film in the Tinker Bell series set to hit stores September 21, 2010.

There we were, a group of grown women sitting in the Frank G. Wells theatre of the Disney studios in Hollywood, CA, relishing in the history of the building and imagining the Disney royalty that sat in the same room. See, this part of the studio lot is completely closed off to the public…let the magic begin!

I bought most of my clothing for BlogHer at Marshalls and it is always one of my first stop for Holiday gifts for the adults on my list.

When Marshalls asked me if I would check out their back-to-school selection for my daughter, I drove right over to see what deals we could find…

My daughter, like most little girls, loves jewelry. I often sit with her while she is making bracelets and necklaces using her beads. I was looking for something new to do with her. This Artterro Collage Jewelry Kit was the perfect activity! She was still able to make jewelry and I was able to introduce new crafting techniques like decoupage.

My two preschool-age girls love to dress -up. With My 1^st Career Gear by Aeromax their imaginations soared beyond the princess dresses and crowns that litter the floor of our house every day. When they tried on the career gear, each instantly became a doctor and a chef, switched outfits, and started all over again.

We love Robeez shoes for toddlers! Now you can get a great deal on these little shoes for babies and kids.

What does your family look like? How about the family down the block?

Guidecraft makes beautiful wooden multicultural family figurines that reflect the diversity around us.

Both my preschooler and toddler, as well as visiting kindergartners and school-aged children engage in creative, pro-social play with these chunky blocks for hours on end…

If your kids are crazy for Silly Bands, you could buy some wholesale. You’d be the most popular mom on the block if you gave these away as birthday goodie bags. And I’d imagine that Silly Bands would be a great fundraiser for your child’s swim or sports team since buying them wholesale gives you a very nice margin.

My toddler son has convinced me that a love of things with wheels is genetic for some babies. Every time he sees a car he shouts, “Vroom, vroom” and claps his hands in delight.

Until very recently, though, he had a habit of mouthing everything. So, I had to make sure all his toys were baby-safe–with non-toxic dyes and no small parts.

Plan Toys has a charming new wooden baby car in a rainbow of bright colors that is a perfect, developmentally appropriate, first push car…
