my current favorite gift

Aren't birthday presents hard to buy?  Even when I know the kiddo really well, I always second guess what I am buying for them.  Do they already have it?  Are they too old for this?  You know, those kinds of questions always arise.

But, not anymore.  I found my new favorite birthday gift for kids!

It is the Moster Bowling Set from Melissa and Doug!

And it even comes packed in its very own tote for easy taking where ever you go! 

Currently it is on sale at Target for only $22.49!  It is safe for ages two and up.  Honestly, I can see my 8 year old nephew playing with this too.  I think it is a safe and secure gift for girls and boys.  Aged 2, or aged 8!

Heck, I would even play with it!!!!

Oh how I love this toy!?!?!

Rock the house with this simple rocker solution that epitomizes “play potential”. It can be used as a speeding motorcycle, a galloping horse or even a balance beam (when mom’s not looking). The open ended design allows kids to bring their imagination to life and create an experience all their own. Its large size allows for two kids to grab a hold and take off. It is constructed from durable molded ply as strong the log that inspired it. Get ready to rock.

I think this would be an excellent 3rd birthday present for Red Curlz.  And I also think many kiddos would love this to play on...

Lil' Scribblers

Etsy is all the rage, I know.  I love it myself.  I even set up a "store" but never got around to putting any of my art listings up.  So.  It sits.

Anywho - here is another terrific etsy store!  LIL BOO & CO.

They sell fantastic chunky crayons!  That fit perfectly into the pint sized hands we all know so well. 

How much fun would your kiddo have with these?  It is an excellent way to teach your little one how to spell their name, while they color!

And they are extremely affordable, in my opinion, and would make a perfect gift.  I think these lego ones are my favorites.

Or these Lady Bug designs...

And these Roller Skate ones tug at my heart strings....oh those were the days?!?!

Hope on over and check out Lil Boo & Co.  You will not be disappointed.

Christmas Past

Red Curlz Christmas beginning in December 2007.

Academy's Christmas Program - Little Angel

A Massive Christmas for not quite a 5 month old.  Ridic.

I look half dead.  Hey!  We were still getting up quite frequently every night!

Our Honey and Ethan, my nephew.

And then there are the memories from 2008 Christmas.

A little overboard, but not nearly as bad as the first.

They truly grow so fast and the pictures are proof.

I hope everyone has a very blessed Holiday Season.  A Merry Christmas to you all!

Bilibo this way. Bilibo that way.

Meet Bilibo.  Bilibo, meet my blog friends!

I am just enamored with this quirky looking toy, seat, helmet-y thing-y!!!!  Confused yet?  Don't be.  Take a gander at the below picture and you will understand.

Designed in Switzerland, this toy has won countless awards for design and play value.

Its simplicity is deceptive and modeled after extensive study of children's play patterns.

Bilibo is a completely open-ended toy that stimulates a child's imagination.

It can be a helmet, sit and spin, doll cradle, train tunnel, shovel, water basin and much more!

Let your imagination run wild! Nearly indestructible; suitable for indoors and outdoors.

I can say, at $30 - if it does all that?!?  Then, I am SOLD!  I think Red Curlz could play with this for hours on end and be one happy little camper.

Great Christmas gift, in my opinion. 

Just happy!

Seeing this picture just makes me HAPPY! 

That's all. 

It is part of Sienna's bedroom.

Lucky girl!

Lucy's Colorful Dreams

Wanna add a quirky touch to a nursery or a kids room?  I have the perfect answer!

Lucy's Colorful Dreams!!! 

Her designs are truly all one of a kind.  As she dreams them, or sees them, she sketches them out and then creates them!

I think they are wonderfully weird and unique.  And perfect!

And she will do custom orders of your own vision too!

Her prices will blow you out of the water!  Go take a peek and enjoy the funky goodness...
