Are you still looking for some great gifts to give this holiday season? We recently had the opportunity to review the new 3D Virtual World: My First Adventure by JumpStart. Although the ages posted on the box are 3-5, our 2 and a half year old daughter absolutely loved playing this game. She made her own little character and designed her own house (with mommy's help of course). She really does love playing in this virtual neighborhood. As a mom - we love that the little games are teaching her things as well as being fun - it truly is adventure based learning.
Jump Start has something for all ages - they have The Legend of Grizzly McGuffin for ages 4-6, and Trouble in Town for ages 5-7, and Quest for the Color Meister for ages 6-8 as well as Math Blaster for ages 6-12, and many many more. So check them out if you're looking for some fun learning adventure based games for your little one.
JumpStart is sold in all your favorite retailers including Target, Best Buy, ToysRUs, WalMart, Costco, Office Depot @ MSRP $19.99

So a reader recently wrote to us telling us how much she loved our site - but that we focused most of our features on girls and while we always had great stuff - she has 3 boys! We took her email to heart and found this great company, Simply A Boy, where EVERYTHING is all BOY! Check them out - they have all kinds of great items from room decor to clothing to feeding to playing. We loved the adorable Bandit Romper pictured above!
And how cute is this wall panel pocket system? Simply A Boy carries three styles - all equally adorable!
One of our other favorites from this awesome site --- ALL BOY --- is the Groovy Blue Dot Get Messy Bib. Seriously, how many times did I say to myself that I needed to invent something like this for my baby??? This is perfect and I will definitely be getting one of these for the next child, boy or girl, regardless. This is a staple item!
They offer products from some of the hottest kid designers out there - Random Nicole, Big Citizen, Flowers by Zoe, Monster Republic, Lipstick Girls, Kate Mack by Biscotti, and more!

I was kind of surprised when strolling by the windows of my local GapKids the other day to see the following retro T's - it just struck me as odd as I can't recall a time before when The Gap has sold a product like this...The shirts are really fun...They have TONS to choose from and they are quite reasonable @ $22.50.
They've got Snoopy, Batman, Little Miss Characters, Strawberry Shortcake, StarWars, The Beatles, and my personal favorite Go Go Speed Racer ---- and they are all retro and worn looking. Check 'em out :)
We are a big fan of all things the Arboretum puts on and summer camps are just another one of their great programs. Check out this great listing of summer camps for your little ones...hurry registration is already starting to fill for some of these camps!

And on a side note - to celebrate our 100th post --- I stayed up late and gave The Trendy Mommy a makeover....like our new look? We can give you one too :) Check out our site TrendyMommy Blog Design.
We recently ran across this super fun site, StartaFoodFight.com. They carry unique little tees and onesies for your babies and toddlers alike. They are a super creative company and have categorized their products in a fun way - 'When I Grow Up'. So do you have a little Veterinarian or Superhero on your hands ~~ if so then you've gotta check out the shirts that suit them perfectly. These are just a few of their many many fun designs....so check 'em out! Oh and we've heard that they gift wrap in a fun hotdog container ;)
Ok...so not really....at least we hope your 8 year old doesn't care if they miss their pedicure this year ;) We've been really impressed lately with the selection of footware that Skechers has to offer. Here are some of our summer favorites for your little ones.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, one minute, then in 20 second increments, stirring until smooth. Before melting, seperate the white chips into two bowls. After melting, add a few drops of red food coloring to one of the bowls of white chips to make pink chocolate.
Dip cookie pops in the melted chips, covering completely. Roll pops in red and white sprinkles and lay or stand on waxed paper or paper plates. Place in refrigerator to chill.
Decorate as you wish with the remaining items! ENJOY!
We recently ran across this amazing tree house in a magazine and just had to share it with you all. Seriously, what kid wouldn't have a blast in this tree house that comes with it's own real tree?!?! The maker of these awesome tree houses has several other designs as well. We're not sure how much this treehouse costs - but here is the website if you want to take a peek.

That's what I'd be singing if I were a toddler/kido and had these funky rain boots to play in the rain in! Super cute and super trendy, found at Modern Tots. The best part about these boots is they are fairly reasonable at $27....and yes, they even come in blue stripes for boys.
