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

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!
