Holiday Wishlist 2010-Simon & Lucy My Story Necklace Giveaway

Gift giving should be from the heart whether it’s Christmas, Mother’s Day or a Birthday. Give mom the gift of love and honor this Holiday Season with a My Story personalized necklace from Simon and Lucy.

simon and lucy my story necklace

I design and hand stamp a collection that I call: the My Story collection. I love to design a piece for a person that encompasses everything important to them from the past, present and perhaps the future. It’s a unique process that allows me to learn a little bit about the person I am designing for in order to design a necklace just for them. Even if you don’t know where to start, I do and I will help you through the process and make it relatively painless for you.

It’s quite magical when my clients see their necklace and they start reminiscing as they look at each charm. I LOVE it and so do they!

All pieces are one-of-a-kind and created with you in mind.

A My Story necklace is a custom piece of jewelry that tells your story, your journey, your life, your future. Included are the details closest to you; children’s names, birthdates, symbols and more. Earlier in the year I received my own My Story necklace; it included of course my kid’s names, my nieces, my parents, a blue crystal to symbolize my birthstone and a special pendant for my mother, a very special person on my life.

Simon and Lucy want to giveaway another My Story necklace (value $155) this season. Visit Simon and Lucy and tell me what you would include in your necklace. If you are giving this to someone else, what do you think they would include.

Batman Rocks!!! DC Super Friends Batcave Recap

Superhero’s never go out of style and the kids like Batman so I was pretty excited when we got the chance to overview the Fisher-Price Trio DC Super Friends Batcave.

The Fisher-Price Trio DC Super Friends Batcave comes with over 100 Trio easy clicking pieces and accessories as well as with a Batman action figure and the Batmobile.  The pieces fit together so easily and it comes with an easy to understand instruction guide with step by step directions for building a standard cave dwelling.   The instructions also show images of three additional Batcave’s with visual lists that show what pieces you will need and how many.

The Fisher-Price Trio DC Super Friends Batcave offers kids skills in problem solving and construction.  Younger kids will probably need help constructing this set but it is a great opportunity to spend time with them and help them develop trouble shooting skills.

The Batcave provides hours of entertainment due to the different variations of Batcaves that can be built that your kids will look forward to playing with it.  This set is recommended for children ages 4 years and up and with two sides of play it provides twice the fun and adventure.

Holiday Wishlist 2010 – Magic Cabin $50 Giveaway

Little kids toys should be entertaining but also educational but of course not over stimulating. Magic Cabin is a go-to source for just these products. Magic Cabin has been guided by the simple notion that children’s lives are enriched by ample time for open-ended, creative, imaginative play.


We are a fan of these type of toys, toys that don’t require batteries, toys that require kid-power and toys whose play isn’t dictated by a character on tv. Yes we love our electronics and gadgets and video games but we also love our downtime play where imaginations are used and the sky is the limit.

I’ve known about Magic Cabin for many years as the Fairy place. These fairies are cherished by children all over and for good reason they are handcrafted and adorable. The dolls and Kathe Kruse® of Germany are all lovingly made to last a lifetime of hugs and cuddles.

kathe kruse dolls

We got the chance to review a couple baby & toddler toys for my nieces. The Stacking Cups are soft enough for the littlest ones but sturdy enough for the little learners and who doesn’t love a gnome.

kathe kruse stacking

Wooden pull toys were always Shae’s favorite, that’s why we choose the Holgate Mail Truck Shape Sorter as a gift for one of the 1 year olds. It’s chunky shapes fit well into her hands and the lid pops off for easy access.
