Little Mommy Baby So New™ Doll Review & Video (Win a Little Mommy doll!)

These Backyard Safari Outfitters’ toys supply kids with endless hours of outdoor fun

Sebastian loves to be outside. He’ll easily spend over an hour poking around the yard with a stick. I don’t know what he’s looking for when he pokes around.. I’m just glad he’s occupying himself and is not in front of the TV. I love watching him tiddle around in the yard..

What do your kids really play with?

Do you spend money on toys and games only to find them in the garage a couple of weeks later? For example, my 10 year old son really wanted Bakugan. He has several Bakugan and played with them quite a bit for about a week. Since then he doesn’t know where more than 2 of
