Earlier in the year Moose Toys, the global toy company behind the hit Shopkins™ collectible, gave fans an exclusive, one-of-a-kind experience by opening a limited-time Shopkins Macaron Café. Reservations for the pop-up café experience, opening in New York City from June 17-19. 

Shopkins has invited our lives for the last couple of years and we were so excited to see the new cute little characters. Even I get excited when they pop open a package containing a new character, to mark off their lists. I love watching the brand evolve, introducing new play sets and doll characters. It is great to see the new season of the collectible craze continue with the theme of World Vacation.
It is so popular that I had to create a spreadsheet for all my friends to keep track of the ones that they have and the ones that they are missing.
First, these little guys are super cute! Shopkins are characters of things that we shop for. Makes sense, right? Products from the dairy, health and beauty, bakery, etc… the list goes on and on. From shoes to food, they have you covered! They have little faces which automatically give them personality and they are so tiny and adorable. Shopkins are sold in sets that allow you to see which characters you will be adding to your collection and they are also sold in Blind Baskets where it is the luck of the draw.
If I had to pick my absolute favorite things about Shopkins, it would be that they allows children to be creative and use their imagination while playing. They learn all of their names and give them all voices. They talk and have conversations and let them be little; they allow them  to enjoy their childhood.
Shopkins is a line of adorable, miniature, grocery-themed collectibles for girls aged four to seven that come with mini shopping bags and baskets.
 I am super excited that they choose world vacation as the next series.

MomTrends Back-To-School Bash 2017

By Leave a Comment

I was so happy to attend the MomTrends Back to School Bash 2017. I got a chance to learn a lot about some new products and enjoy a night with my fellow bloggers and friends.

We all snacked on Raisels which are delicious little bursts of sour and sweet golden raisons. I don’t think snacking could get any better and more fun! Plus each little box is a full serving of fruit. Healthy and yummy!

I just love these backpacks by 12Little. They are so light weight and stylish! They are so light and colorful and they have a style that will fit each child in your household.

I loved the “Lost & Found” that the Mom Trends teams created with Name Bubbles which is a line of personalized name tags. They had a personalized item for each blogger and we had to dig through the bin to find ours. I got a very cute water bottle and it was so much fun searching for the right Denise.

Back-to-school event would not be complete with out having Staples on hand to provide us with all the necessities plus so many new fun creative ways to reinvent the norm. I love that they have tools for the kids but also for us adults to get organized also

Thank you to everyone who made this evening so much fun.

 

 

Goumikids-The New York Baby Show

I had the opportunity to meet with this company during The New York Baby Show.

Goumikids is run by two mamas who use organic, breathable materials and fashionable prints for their baby mitts, hats, and booties.

I received the bundle pack from them and it is the number one go to item for new moms. What’s the worst thing about newborn socks? They do NOT stay on their feet! The goumi boots, to my {delighted} surprise, do stay on and only come off when you decide to take them off.

The mitts are also great when you are inside. They are super cute and are reversible, too!

The hat, though, is the big winner for me. It is not only completely adorable, but you will  feel comfortable and confident putting it on your child’s  head knowing that the materials used {bamboo and organic cotton} are safe for them to wear for long periods of time. And again, no sweaty baby head due to the breathability of the fabric. It’s stretchy but does not stretch out, and it’s easy to tie up under the chin or leave untied and the strings hang down.

I’m very pleased with all aspects of these products: the design, the quality of the fabric, the quality of construction and the price point. Generally I don’t look to spend much money on these types of items, but after reviewing the bundle I am loving them, I’m definitely willing to make the investment without second thought. If you have friends expecting babies this would be the perfect gift for them.
