A New Twist on the Tooth Fairy: The Toothless Monster Set

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

The Toothless Monster is a tooth fairy experience like no other: when your child loses a tooth, the monster gains one, permanently. This is a wonderful concept because after all, a friend in need, is a friend indeed!

The concept is simple and the outcome can be delightful. Santa afterall, has his elves...shouldn't someone as busy as the tooth fairy have a helper too? Meli or Monte (purple or blue monsters) have a mouth full of nothing, and they'd really like to have their teeth. Once your child loses his or her tooth, you place it under the tongue of the monster. In the morning, he/she wakes up with a new tooth in his/her mouth! The magic is in the secret set of plastic teeth you have that are concealed from curious little ones. Pop one in while the child is sleeping, and voila' they have a new tooth in the morning. Once the tooth is in place, it is permanent and cannot be removed or moved around. The final step is the monster leaves a thank-you-note for your little one. I like that because it reinforces good manners to the littles.

There is a hardback book as well, that tells the story of the Toothless Monster, and how when you put a tooth in his mouth that you have naturally lost, it magically will turn into a tooth for the wide-eyed, adorable Meli or Monte. It is a fun twist on an old favorite, and something the kids are sure to enjoy.

This is what the monster teeth look like. They are hard plastic and small, so this set is recommended for ages 5+. Glow in the dark teeth are also available.

Teleflora delivers hand-made beautiful holiday bouquets right to your door, or anyone else's door, that you might want to send one to as well. These are a perfect way to decorate any vanity, counter or table. They are also perfect for dressers, which is where I sometimes like to put mine, only because the bedroom seems to be the only room we don't decorate for the holiday season. Having a big, beautiful piece of bright in the room that is festive, makes me very happy.

Playmobil Advent Calendar and Christmas Bakery Building Set

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

I get so excited this time of year when I see the advent calendars from Playmobil in the stores. Not only are they created with the sturdy, high quality pieces known to the brand, but they also have seasonal themes, which makes them a great way to add to the magic that is already intertwined with so much of what we do, this time of the year. Imagine your child's joy as he or she gets to select one item each day, counting down to the big day (December 25th).  We purchase an advent calendar for the kids every single holiday, and this year, my youngest will receive Christmas in the Forest (seen above), which is one of five themes Playmobil has available this year.

2019 Holiday Gift Guide

A lot of people are e-mailing to ask about the Holiday Gift Guide.

Almost a Year Later and we STILL Love our SnoofyBee Unique Changing Station

Some things are too good to keep to yourself. This little package is going to be one of those things. It's something you may not have known you needed, but if you have a little one in diapers, once you've tried it, you'll know that you certainly do! I wrote about one last year for the Holiday Gift Guide, and wanted to do it again this year because it's proven invaluable in our house.  Well, my daughter's house, but shes's till mine, so you know, by association, and all that good stuff. 😊

I am talking about the SnoofyBee, which is a simply, but intelligently-made, fail-proof way to change baby's diaper at home or in public, with zero mess! One try and you'll be sold! We are, and as you'll see at the end of the post, my newest baby granddaughter is sold too!

Robert Morris says Take the Day Off!

Not too long ago, Robert Morris was at a church a couple of cities away from us and we went there instead of to our normal church because we wanted to hear him. I've seen him on TV, and always enjoy hearing him speak. I hadn't seen him on a stage though, live, nor had I until now read one of his books. "Take the Day Off: Receiving God's Gift of Rest" is his newest book and it lived up to the hype I had set for up. It was good!

It's closing in on Thanksgiving, and then all of the hustle and bustle of Christmas will start (in many places it's started already). One thing we love to do this time of year is watch holiday movies. We have our classic favorites like the Grinch and we always love Veggie Tales. Something fairly new to us, though it's not really new to many, is the Holiday Stories Collection

Disney Stories in Beautiful Keepsake Books

Do you ever outgrow Disney stories? I think not. When I was thumbing through these books I will admit it was exciting to see Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, Peter Pan, etc. dancing inside the Disney Stories for 3-year-olds. What was really surprising though, was that the Disney Stories for 2-year-olds was full of stories I've never even heard of before, and I've been reading Disney books for decades.

Can you believe it's about time to start this kind of thing already??? I surely need to get a move on to get ready for the big day because I know it is going to be here before we know it. This book is one way to help add to the holiday joy and excitement in your home.
