Ralph Lauren’s “Create Your Own” Collection »

Thanks to having two older sisters, I became an early fan of clothes and fashion. I tagged along on all their shopping excursions and loved leafing through their closets and trying on their clothes when they were not watching! Now that I have a daughter, I can’t help but let my love of clothes influence her wardrobe. Like most Moms, I find myself spending more money and time shopping for her than myself!  

Now that my daughter is three with a strong-willed mind, I often battle with her over what to wear. I love her independence, but at the same time I wish she would let me help her pick out her clothes more often. I constantly buy her cute and stylish outfits, only to find them crumpled up at the bottom of her dresser as she tosses them aside to wear her favorite Dora the Explorer shirt. That gets me every time!

B. Toys Hugs Links »

Life as a parent of a young child can sometimes feel like a never-ending shopping trip. Whether you’re running to the store to pick up supplies or clothing, keeping up with your growing child rarely proves an easy task.  

While not the first thing that comes to mind, toys certainly cannot be excluded from the ever-increasing list of outgrown items.  A toy that can trap the interest of a 3- month-old doesn’t have the same effect on a 2-year-old, so you either need to buy different toys for each child or find a toy that changes. Luckily, B. Toys kept this in mind when they headed to the design lab, and as a result, they created toys that children of many ages will enjoy depending on how they look at them.

B. Toys Sugar Chute »

Half the fun of the getting a gumball from a gumball machine comes from turning the lever and waiting to see which color you end up with. The toy company, B. Toys, took all of the fun of a gumball machine, eliminated the bad (paying per use, unknown cleanliness, and flavorless gum) and created a toy!

 The Sugar Chute dispenses fun colored toy balls with unique designs and decorative rattle. Turn the key, push the lever, and wait to see which prize you receive. With over a dozen different balls, you can never guess what will come next. The classic gumball machine shape has plenty of features to ignite a child’s curiosity. The click of the key plus the swoosh of the balls going down the chute will entrance them while they learn how to make the machine work.
