If you are on the lookout for a great toy for your kids this Christmas, Toobeez is the one gift you must have in your house. It is a favorite in my house and will be in yours too. This is one of the few toys on the market that actually make your kids think which is why I love it!
Toobeez is basically one big tinker toy set that is super easy to put together. If my 4 year old can do it, anyone can do it. All you do is take the tube and push the end into the hole on the spheres. You then turn it slightly until it clicks. That’s it! Now, there are about 100 different things you can make with these. You can make simple structures (which is where Madison is at) and every intricate structures like a super fighter jet. There are just so many things I really like about this. Like I said before, it makes my kids think and design. It is not too hard for my daughter to put together, so she does not get frustrated and is able to build what she wants without too much help. I remember building forts as a kids with chairs and blankets, and I have to admit that this Toobeez set with the slide on curtains is just so much cooler. Best of all, it comes with its own zippered storage bag, so you don’t have to worry about losing pieces!
If you decide that you kids must have this, they are running an awesome deal. If you purchase the 57 piece set, you get an additional 15 piece kit ($24.99 value), The Big Idea Book with tips for enjoying your TOOBEEZ ($4.99 value), and free shipping ($24.00 value)! Also, make sure you check out their giveaway! They are giving away a free set to a lucky winner. How cool is that? If you are sick of the noisy toys that don’t require your kids to think, then Toobeez would be a perfect fit in your home.

I recently came across a ton of items that I can definitely use in my kitchen, and I know you can too! These are all made my Weiman Products and should be every kitchen!
First, the Weiman Stainless Steel Wipes work great and work on pretty much every stainless steal product you may own. They clean, shine, polish, and protect. It leaves a greaseless streak free shine. It also repels fingerprints (which is a huge thing for me with two little ones who like to touch everything), watermarks, dirt, and dust. I love that you can use it both indoor and outdoors. You can find them at Ace Hardware, Expo Design Center, Kmart, Target, True Value, and Walmart.
Next, I tried out the Weiman Granite Wipes. I don’t have granite counter countertops in my kitchen. However, these worked excellent on my laminate countertop. However, I do have a granite sink in my bathroom, so I have been using these there. The granite wipes easily removed grease, grime, dirt, and toothpaste. This workds well on Corian, cermanic, chrome, and fiberglass. It is also certifited Kosher. These can be found at Target, Walmart, True Value, Kroger, and Publix.
One of my all time favorites is the Weiman CookTop Quick Wipes. I hate cleaning my stovetop off and having a ton of streaks! Now, these wipes are the nation’s top rated brand for glass cook top wipes according to IRI and ACNielsen. They clean, shine, and protect with just one wipe (which is exactly what us busy moms need!). This won’t scratch and actually helps prevent food from sticking. This is also certified Kosher. These are available at Target, Walmart, Ace Hardware, True Value, Expo Design Center, Kroger, and Publix.
My other most favorite product of theirs has to be the Weiman CookTop Scrubbing Pads. Since my stove is fairly new, I had to use anything that might even scratch it. However, no matter how careful you are, stuff gets spilled on your stove. It just happens. The scrubbing pads are guaranteed not to scrach and are safe for all smooth top range. These also reduct clean up time by up to 50%! I use these in conjuction with the Cook Top Cleaner, and you don’t have to use a lot of elbow grease to get the food up. These can be found at Ace Hardware, True Value, and Walmart.
I always feel that if you find a brand that works, you should stick to it. This is a brand that works, and it works great!

If you have kids like mine who love hide and seek and treasure hunting, you have to get WheeGo for them. It is hide and go seek to the extreme. Madison absolutely loves it, but because she is only four, we have to help her along. There is reading involved, and we haven’t learned how to do that yet.
The first thing she loves is that when you are the captain, you get to wear a sticker on your shirt that says Caption WheeGo. The Captain then takes the clue cards and the treasure card out and follows the directions about where to hide them. The character card then tells you where to find the first clue. From there, each card you find helps you to find the next clue and so on. Finally, the last clue will lead you to the treasure where you will find more stickers (which is always a huge plus! I love that this opens up their creativity, and you can easily make up more cards to keep the game going for older kids. Each quest is designed to help your child develop sequential thinking skills, build confidence, and reveal the value of self initiation.
This game is an awesome stocking stuffer, and you will be amazed at how much fun you can having playing this with your children!
