Giveaway: Kobold Toys ArchiQuest Building Blocks

The ArchiQuest building block sets are cool! I’m not sure who likes them more, me or my kids. They are just fun. And these are more than just building blocks – they are extremely educational for parent and child alike. When we received the box in the mail, my six year old immediately popped up,…

I want to start off by letting you know that this isn’t a typical giveaway post here at 5 Minutes for Giveaways. While there is a fabulous giveaway up for grabs, you can’t comment here to win it. So now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let me share with you about the…

Red Envelope’s new Baby Gifts — great quality at a great price!

Since becoming a mom it seems like I do a lot more of my shopping online. Not my day-to-day grocery shopping, but definitely my gift shopping. Even just the 10 minutes I spend debating over this baby blanket or that baby blanket in the store for my new nephew is torturous for my girls. They…

Meet Kristina Reiko Cooper — musician and mom!

My girls love music, so we listen to a lot of nursery rhymes and high-energy singy-song kids music. After an entire day of that music I am ready for something a little more, well….something that isn’t being sung by a cartoon character and isn’t asking me to clap my hands or dance like a bug!…

Take a tour of Boston with the Balloonies!

My daughter loves balloons. She points them out where ever she sees them and gives me those begging eyes whenever she sees someone handing them out. I always felt there was something a little magical about balloons. They way they float. How some of them can be twisted into shapes of animals and objects. And…

Cleaning just got easier with Clorox ToiletWand!

If there is one aspect of house cleaning that I absolutely detest it is cleaning the bathroom. Give me a dirty stove, a mound of laundry, or windows covered in fingerprints but please, PLEASE, could someone else tackle the bathroom? From the tub to the tile to the toilet (especially the toilet), I am always…
