Monster Mash with a Handlebar moustache
Wax moustache candy - the perfect wax candy disguise
When I used to go trick or treating way back when, nothing would aggravate me more than when my healthy neighbors would give me fresh produce, pennies, toothpaste, Saltine’s crackers or any other boring edible that didn’t have the potential to give me a 4 hour bellyache.
I love candy, and I’m a big fan of moustaches, preferrably when they’re not attached to Wilford Brimley, so this year I’ll be handing every Trick or Treater who knocks on my door a pre-packaged Candy Wax Moustache from Oriental Trading - Party Supplies because let’s face it…
Kids wearing moustaches are funny.
It’s a proven fact.
Kids in space
Kids flight suit for kids who want to astronaut suit up for Halloween
Last year my son was a dashing Indiana Jones for Halloween. I scored him a schnazzy leather fedora and a whip that he ended up whipping the cats with. This year I’m getting him a low maintenance costume that is free of any accessories or props that can be yielded as weapons… for Boo Boo and Lucy’s sake.
This Kids Flight Suit from The Space Shop at Kennedy Space Center is too cool for flight school and looks perfectly safe for both kids and cats. Maybe the get-up will even rub off on my boy and he’ll grow up to be an astronaut one day.
I have high hopes.
Prank’ed
Crazy pranks to pull on your crazy pranking friends
April Fool’s Day has come and gone, but I’ve realized over the years that you don’t need a designated day or reason to enjoy sweet revenge. On April Fool’s Day people are always on their toes, observant, ready and waiting. I like to prank people when they least expect it. Like when they’re in a stall in the office bathroom and I throw in a home-made stink bomb created with my Crazy Pranks Kit from Young Explorers.
*Hey, she deserved it. She never washes her hands, leaves toxic stink bombs of her own and is always messing with the settings on the coffee machine.
IHop
This Hopper ball will get you all hopped up for a hopping good time
I love to hop. I rock at hopscotch, I’m obsessed with IHop (and their Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity Specials), and I love to bust out the bunny hop whenever I go clubbing. I even love Hopalong Cassidy and the Sundance Kid…wait, that was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. My bad. Nevertheless, I simply just love to hop. Whenever I get a free chance, I’m in the middle of the floor, hopping around on my very own happy happy fun ball thanks to this addictive Hopper Ball from Fun and Function.
What’s your sign, baby?
Zodiac onesies and the cutest baby boy and baby girl stuff in the universe, at Psycho Baby
I’ve heard a lot of bad pick up lines in my time. It all began at birth. Even in those early days back at the hospital nursery I’d get these punk infant boys in their skull caps, batting their baby blues with come hither looks, offering to buy me shots of milk. When they weren’t burping, crying, or sucking on their binkies, the playahs would drop a “Hey baby, what’s your sign?” my way, trying their hardest to get into my crib.
It didn’t work then and it’s not working now. So for all of the hot baby girls out there who are tired of hearing the oldest pick-up line in the book, this onesie is for you. This Psycho Baby Zodiac Onesie is the easiest way to get all the Li’l baby Romeos off your back.
Pee Pee tee pees to the rescue
Shower them with the baby gift item every Mom & Dad needs
Where were these things when my son was born? Warning to unsuspecting parents-to-be. When you have a baby boy, no one prepares you for the worst. I’ve been peed on, spit up on, projectile vomited on and those were on good days. If you know a friend, family member or co-worker who’s expecting a bouncing baby boy, treat them to the best baby gift item ever- a wee blocker from One Step Ahead.
Hooked on phonics didn’t work for me
Award winning train dvds to help you learn your abc’s
I was never great with letters. I still get my b’s and d’s mixed up, not to mention my p’s and q’s. I figured since my job requires mega SEO skills (that’s search engine optimization for all you civilians), I’d better be on top of my keyword discovery and brush up on my abc basics. Join me on my quest for learning as I get on board with these Alphabet Train DVD’s from Lots and Lots Of…
Pop it like it’s hot
Create your own pop up books make totally fun games for kids
I would love to write the story of my life. It would document the thrilling tale of a sassy natural redhead with amazing adventures that rival any experienced by that freckle-faced Pippi Longstocking. I’m pretty busy writing my blog, so I think a short and sweet children’s book will have to do. The more colorful, the better. Oh! And pop ups! You gotta have pop ups! I think I’ll get started on a rough draft with this “Create your Own Pop-Up Book” that takes the cake when it comes to Fun kids games from Met Kids.
Monchichi Monkey Madness
Holy sensei! FAO Schwarz has brought back Monchichi
Get ready kids and campers for an “I Love the 80’s” flashback. When I was a little girl, I was obsessed. Not with Scott Baio from Charles in Charge, not with Ralph Macchio from The Karate Kid (That’s a lie. I proudly owned the Karate Kid headband and did attempt to perform that crazy flying kick when Julie Pickler tried to make me eat sand…it didn’t turn out well). I wasn’t even obsessed with Cabbage Patch Kids. In fact, I thought they beared too much of a resemblance to the Quaker Oats guy, only with ugly, unmanageable yarn hair. No, my obsession dear friends was with Monchichi.
Color me mine
Arts and crafts supplies for kids that don’t stink…well…kind of
I would love nothing more than to spend a leisurely afternoon in a Color Me Mine store, sipping tea, painting mugs and vases without a care in the world. Unfortunately I can’t. I have a job. I gotta bring home the bacon, and unless they pay me for my pottery and crafting expertise I’ll just have to find another way to express myself artistically…like with these Silly Scents Arts & Crafts Crayons from Nasco Arts & Crafts.
Party in my Crib Baby
Baby rock clothes for your rockin’ baby
I know this cool baby who is an insomniac. Instead of laying in bed staring at a lame sheep mobile all night, this baby is having a soirée. While Mom and Dad are getting their 1.5 hours of sleep, they’ll be partying in their crib with all their peeps, and you can bet your bottom diaper they’ll be wearing this Cool Baby Onesie from TheRetroBaby.com.
The Fast and the Furious
I’m a true kid at heart. I like to play in the mud, dig ditches and build forts with my son. That’s why this M-Gears Remote Control Grand Prix Car from Learning Resources is just my speed. Talk about a sweet ride, with this gizmo I can totally put my son on the road to learning fun.
