Miss Mousey

My brother and his girlfriend just gifted Snook this sweetest little mouse, and she's in love. I know it's a bit late to be handing out holiday gift suggestions, but we are about to start a whole new year of birthdays, and I just know these little mice would be a hit with any kid. Oh, and we had an early Christmas celebration with my family because in just a few days we're headed here. Getting excited!

Toob Crazy

These Toobs from Safari Ltd. are my new kids' toy obsession. Both S 'n' B gravitate toward small figurines, for some reason. I hear this about my friends' kids too, come to think of it. Easy enough for Snook, but poor Bubs has been playing with mini-princesses long enough. Last week, I finally found something called the Dino Toob, and now I'm out to collect all of them. There are pirates, zoo animals, steam trains, cars . . . all non-toxic, all super fun, all under $10. Even the caps are fun with their rotating globes. Great gift idea too!
