I do alot of baby and small child product reviews so when I get the chance to do a older kid review Brendan gets excited. When I was asked to do this review I knew Brendan was going to LOVE it. I had never heard of these toys before so I was very interested.
Every household in America with kids probably has a few bins full of colorful,
toy building blocks (Legos!) that snap together to form houses, airplanes and
anything else a child’s imagination can dream up. Now, that childhood classic
has gone high tech. Laser Pegs is introducing a new line of kits that can be
used with the toy building blocks you already own, and when you connect a string
of Laser Peg shapes and blocks together and plug them into their power pack, the
Laser Pegs will illuminate as the brightly colored LED light bulbs inside them
come to life. Now, your kid’s dragons and helicopters won’t just sit their
waiting to be crushed and transformed into a new design, they’ll blink and glow
and double as a night light!
This review is on the Laser Pegs kit 470 6 in 1 only available at Target and retails for $19.99.
It comes with a try me button and you can see how neat it is in the package with the try me button.
You can make 6+ different things with this 1 kit and Brendan really likes it. It is also compatible with Lego blocks and the possibilities are endless.
Here is a few things he had made with them..
This is fun for the whole family and would make a great Christmas gift. They have many different kits and different price ranges. I will be adding a few sets for Christmas gifts.
I received this item for review purposes. My opinions are honest and I was not paid for this review.

Diaper Dabbler Review & coupon code
Most of you know that I am obsessed with collecting cloth diapers for your future little owl. I also am aware that some of you want to be a little more green but have not made the switch to cloth. So today I am going to tell you about a great company that you can use to try out different disposable diapers that are a little more heathier. This company is called Diaper Dabbler.
Not sure which diaper is the best fit for your baby? Or looking for a great baby shower gift that nearly every mom would love to have? Diaper Dabbler has the solution! Common advice for finding the best diapers is “trial and error”. With Diaper Dabbler, you get MORE trial for less error in a convenient sample pack of a variety of disposable diapers. We offer all the major brands plus some of the latest and greatest.
This is how it comes packaged and I love their owl stickers!! Here is some info from their website..
We offer a variety of sample diaper options for every mom:
So, how do you find the best diaper that not only fits your baby but also your lifestyle? There are a variety of diaper options to consider:
We also have a great free printable diaper brand rating chart included in every disposable diaper sample pack that you can use to remember which diapers you liked, which you didn’t, and ultimately which to keep buying.
Come say Hi on Facebook, see what we have coming up, or share your diapering misadventures. We’d love to hear from you!
I was sent their Mother Earth set which retails for $19.00. This is what is included.
There is an increasing demand for less chemicals in diapers. For the moms who prefer something more environmentally-friendly with less chemicals, but are not ready to take the long leap to cloth, the Mother Earth sampler pack may be the perfect solution. These brands typically come in even larger packages than store-brand or mainstream diapers, or are hard to find locally in anything other than bulk. Who really wants to spend $40 on a value pack for a diaper that sounds fantastic but might not live up to your expectations?
The Mother Earth diaper sample pack is comprised of relatively new and lesser known disposable diapers on the market. You, or your mommy-to-be, will receive 3 prepackaged size 1 diapers of each of the following:
Gift packaging available! Just pick a color and we will add those extra special touches to your gift and ship it directly to the recipient (if requested). The gift packaging option includes packaging all diapers in a plain white gift box, wrapped in a ribbon of your choice. You can also customize the rating card with your own message – just include the text you would like printed on the card in the customer notes section during checkout (limit 100 characters). We are not responsible for typos or grammatical errors, so please double check the spelling and wording when submitting your message.
I love this and there was brands of diapers included that I have never heard of. This would make a great shower gift for a green mom you know. Diaper Dabbler is so awesome that she is giving you ALL a coupon code for 25% off one product!! Just use code GrEEN25 this code is valid until Oct 31.. If you make a purchase leave a comment and tell me which pack you ordered.

We offer a variety of sample diaper options for every mom:
•Mainstream diaper samples that can be found in most major retailers, like Luvs, Pampers or Huggies,
•Eco-friendly or low-chemical diaper samples that are focused on less chemicals, like Earth’s Best, Honest Company or Nature Babycare, and,
•Store-specific brand diaper samples that you can pick up at your local Costco or Target.
After you have tried a variety of sample brands, you are sure to find the right diaper to fit your baby and your lifestyle.So, how do you find the best diaper that not only fits your baby but also your lifestyle? There are a variety of diaper options to consider:
- Material – How does the diaper feel? How breathable is it? Some are soft and cloth-like, others feel like a paper bag or feel and sound like plastic.
- Leak Protection – All diapers claim to have leak protection, but how well? How does the diaper fit around Baby’s waist and legs? Are you finding yourself changing outfits as often as you change diapers?
- Cost – Diapers range from $0.12-$0.38 per diaper, depending on quantity, size, etc. A newborn may go through 140+ diapers in just the first two weeks – worth it for the right diaper, but a huge waste for the wrong ones!
- Ingredients – Some diapers contain chlorine, perfume, phthalates, lotions, latex, optical brighteners, and/or PVC, while others are compostable, contain renewable materials, or are plastic free. Some chemicals may cause rashes on Baby’s sensitive skin.

Buzzi Balance Trainer Giveaway

Welcome to the Bunzi Balance Trainer Giveaway!
I have teamed up with Kate n' Kaboodle to share with you the hottest new toy to hit the U.S., the Bunzi from Chillafish!
The Bunzi gradual balance trainer bike from Chillafish is a unique 2-in-1 balance bike that can be switched between 3-wheel mode and 2-wheel mode in just a few seconds without tools!
The Bunzi gradual balance trainer takes it step-by-step to learn balance. Smaller children can start off on 3 wheels until they get comfortable and then switch to two wheels when they are older. If your child isn't quite ready, it's easy to switch back for a while to 3 wheels to gain some more confidence. Bunzi has two seat positions, a seat position in 3-wheel mode that is low to the ground for comfort and a seat position in 2-wheel mode that is higher for making more speed. It features a cute bunny design and even a little storage container in the seat.
Bunzi is the perfect balance bike to allow your child to learn balance at their own pace and comfort level!
