The gifting trifecta at Best Buy this Christmas #HintingSeason

We’ve been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Three seemingly unconnected things are at the T junction of parenting and/or holidays. It’s also at the intersection of fun, regardless of if you have kids or not J. You drive, you listen to music and you play games. XBOX One, the JBL Flip 2 and the Tom Tom Go 50s are all things that you need (or really want) and right now Best Buy is sleighing the season with deals.

The John Deere Gear Force Harvest Action Combine

We received the toy for review purposes, all thought are ours. To say that our oldest boy loves farms is an understatement. When he was 2 he got his first play farm. When he was 3 he had three different farms and a metal farm with magnet figures. He’s 5 now, has farm puzzles, albeit with the rogue dinosaur on them and vehicles of all sort. The John Deere Gear Force Harvest Action Combine will be the next piece of his farm domination.

National Geographic Oceans 6-in-1 Laser Pegs, building-light fun

We’ve seen Laser Pegs in the store before. It’s the building block toy that lights up. What is unique about most of the sets is that, in addition to lighting up, it can build more than one model. Some of the kits do 4 creations while others can do up to 57 different things. We put together the National Geographic Oceans 6-in-1 Laser Pegs and it’s appropriate for 5 and up, with a little assistance.

The Chicco ACTIV3 Stroller review

The maze of figuring out what stroller to purchase can be really confusing. The jogging strollers look the coolest to some, but may not be able to accommodate the baby carrier. A combination stroller of sort is the Chicco ACTIV3 Stroller; it works with children 6 months old to 50 pounds and is good for everyday use, as well as more active occasions.
