    Magnetic Attraction @Discoverykids

    Even though it seems like everything is ‘digital’ now and ‘online’ there is still a tremendous importance places on IRL or In Real Life.  One of my favorite things to do with my nephews is to Skype with them!

    I often see him playing with his toys and poking about in bins and cabinets. Even though Scott is only 2, there are telltale signs of his engineering potential by the things that strikes his curiosity.   He is extremely dexterous and a real explorer.  He is always ‘fixing’ things with his dad! He also has a 4 year old cousin who can definitely help with playing this game.

    The Magnetic Tile Set by Discovery Kids is a 24-piece game that allows children to build custom 3D models using magnetics square and triangular shapes.  Discovery Kids inspires kids to explore the awesome world around them and satisfy their curiosity with innovative games and activities.

    Though recommended for 4 years +, I think Scott is ready for this!  It does not have small pieces like LEGO yet allows children to be creative and ‘build’ something. The magnets are strong and the shapes are bright and colorful with rounded corners and no small digestible parts.

    I can’t wait to play this game with him!

    Holiday Toys from @planetdog1997

    When you love your dog and your dog loves you, every is like Christmas!  In the beginning the peeing and chewing may slightly outweigh the cute but you stuck with each other and now you are truly a team.  It is that bond, that routine, that repetition that grounds you and make you the only person your dog will trust. This, over time, is what I call true love. Loving and dog and having that kind of pure love come into your life is like going to an oxygen bar and getting PURE oxygen.  It just makes you think clearly, see sharper colors and feel the pulse of life.

    The Wishbone plush toy is so cute!  It is soft and has a mesh outer layer so it it won’t get sticky with slobber. The Y shape makes it fun for the dog to toss it, chew it, hold it and shake it.  A great holiday toy that you dog will love all year round.

    Out of all his toys, the Wishbone is his fav!  Maybe because it’s the new toy smell.

    Toys: Vanity by @JopenLLC

    I’d missed the FedEx guy once, but finally a knock at my door, and the unmarked box was delivered. After tearing the box open, I was greeted by my Vanity by Jopen Vr6.5 (retail: $148.99) luxury “intimate accessory.”

    The sleek, purple toy came with a black satin pouch so that it could be neatly and discretely packed away when not in use. I could tell some thought had gone into the design. As you can see, it looks like it is made specifically with a woman’s body in mind.

    Turns out that Jopen, founded by sexual wellness pioneer, Susan Colvin, has an all-woman product development team. So all of Jopen’s pleasure products have the features and functions that women want.

    Here’s what makes Vanity by Jopen’s toys so great:

    • Premium silicone that maintains body heat. It’s also unscented (no gross rubbery smell), non-porous, durable and hypo-allergenic
    • Intense incremental speed control (more on that later) with independent dual motors
    • Whisper quiet
    • Security travel lock
    • 100% waterproof
    • Easy to clean
    • And best of all, designed for women by women

    So, what did I think?

    The Vr6.5 was everything it promised to be. But, you’ll have to see for yourself.
