toys

I know I know, school hasn’t even started and here I am talking about Christmas!

This is why toys with small parts have warning labels on them. I have to admit I don't really think about the possible dangers past the obvious "choking hazard".  I most definitely would not have seen something like this story happening.

I took a little trip today to the little town of Northville, NY for the Readin', Writin' and Rhymin' Tour.  It's a nice little town near beautiful Lake Sacandaga.  And I met some REALLY nice little residents-first graders to be exact!

Every year there is "that" toy. The "Tickle Me Elmo" of whatever year it happens to be. I know the one that I had to sell my soul for many years ago was the Nintendo Wii when it first came out. It was the perfect toy for the age of my kids and it was the one thing they just had to have, and best intentions and good sense be damned I was going to get it for them.

Shop Rite is running a great promotion this month...You can earn Gift Certificates 10- 30% off based on your purchase totals. Each purchase you make through this time period with be included in your total.

Today I'm off on another Readin', Writin, and Rhymin' Tour .  I'm going to Yates Magnet School in Schenectady.  This is a return visit for me.  Always have a good time there.  But this time I'm trying a grand experiment!

With so many people heading out to start their holiday shopping on Black Friday, when you're shopping for the little ones in your life, you’ll want to avoid what are considered to be dangerous toys.

This 2000-foot long Hot Wheels track can’t be contained by a single house. It creeps out into the yard and the sidewalk, and will make your inner-child very, very jealous.

It’s nice to know that video games cannot take the place of certain toys. Lego has been a favorite of children (and some adults) for a long time. Well now some of those adults have made a new Lego record by constructing the world’s largest Lego tower.

If you bought a child a Barbie doll recently, be sure it's not the one in the article below.  The FBI is concerned over the Video Girl Barbie, in particular.  Read below to find out why.
