I take a Mommy & Me class with my youngest at our preschool and they have seriously the BEST play dough I have ever experienced! The secret ingredient is peppermint extract that makes the play dough smell minty and lovely! It is such a hit with the moms and kids, that the teacher gave us her recipe along with a great holiday gift idea for little ones.
This was my first attempt at making my own play dough, and I have to say it was very easy and so fun!

This is a great gift idea for any of you looking for a last minute gift this week! The Thomas & Friends Sodor Search and Rescue play set has provided hours and hours of fun in our house!
I have two girls, and it is not intentional, but we honestly do not have many traditional “boy” toys like trucks, cars or trains.
Local families are invited to a special “Breakfast with Santa” holiday event tomorrow, Dec. 17th, at UltraLuxe Cinemas in the Anaheim GardenWalk.
Santa Claus will be in town to meet and greet star-eyed guests from 9 – 11 a.m. so bring your cameras and holiday wish lists to get in those last minute requests!
Hosted by Los Angeles radio personality Chris Martinez, “Breakfast with Santa” will feature a buffet breakfast provided by Bubba Gump and a host of fun activities including holiday-themed face painting, music, games, prizes and more.
As part of the event, UltraLuxe is also offering free admission to a special 11:30 a.m. screening of its December Kidtoons feature, OLIVIA Wintertime Cheer, with every ticket purchase.
In the past 5 1/2 years I have gone through about five different strollers. With the exception of our Bob Revolution Jogger, I really haven’t been completely satisfied with any of them. If I would have known about OC Tykes baby gear store when I was shopping for my stroller, I am sure I would have picked the right one out of the gate and likely saved a lot of money.
OC Tykes is a premier baby gear store located in downtown San Clemente. Specializing in baby gear, their expert staff offers free consultations to make sure you choose the right product to fit your unique needs.
If by chance you are in the market to invest in a new piece of gear and go in this month (by 12/31/11) you will receive 15% off any one full priced item with mention of Tiny Oranges. That can save you some serious buckeroos if you are looking at a stroller or carseat mamas! So stash away that Christmas gift cash, and make your way down there after the holidays to look around!
Ahoy mateys! Do I have a fun event to share with you! And it is going to be yo ho ho and a bottle of FUN! Sorry, got a little carried away with Googling “pirate sayings” while inspired by this post…
Story Pirates is a national arts and literacy organization that engages students in under-resourced public schools by showing them that their ideas, words and stories are important. Originally founded in New York in 2003, Story Pirates believes that every child has a story to tell.
