Nanny to Mommy

My daughter is a huge fan of playing pretend, dressing up, and using her imagination. For the past few years her "dress up wardrobe" has expended. In fact, when we organized the play room, I decided to buy a child's size clothing rack for all of her play clothes. I have worked with Great Pretenders for the past two years on my Holiday Gift Guide. And each when they contact me, I am so excited to see their new quality, products at great prices.

The Great Pretenders story is one that starts like many. Once upon a time, there was a mom troubled by the lack fun and imaginative toys for her children. Baffled by this, she set out on her ambitious journey to come up with creative, pretend-play toys that would light up any child's imagination. Fast forward; her endeavors transcended into a vastly successful dress-up and costume business which manufactures award-winning toys – an innovative leader in the pretend-play market for children.

Accessories are a simple way to enhance your wardrobe. I don't wear flashy clothes, but I love some awesome accessories. Purses are the perfect accessory because there are so many designs to choose from, so you can be sure that you will find something perfect to fit your style. With fall right around the corner, now is the time to change out your purse for a new fun, fall color!

My son is very much obsessed with trains. I think he loves them because they are loud and go fast. No one really introduced him to the obsession. He would just see them while we were driving and ever since he has been fascinated with them.

We have some friends who has a son about the same age who is equally if not more so obsessed with trains. So his mom found the Day Out with Thomas event where you could ride a real Thomas train!

We all want nothing more than to be understood. But for some kids, it isn’t as easy as it seems. Learning and attention issues are much more common in children than most people realize. It isn’t uncommon for parents to think that their children are just being lazy, need to work harder, or that they are in a phase that they will grow out of. Raising a child with learning and attention issues is a journey. And it’s one that’s full of ups and downs, successes and challenges, questions and decisions.
