Holiday Gift Guide 2013 | JJ Cole Arctic BundleMe

 JJ Cole Arctic BundleMe Samples received for review purposes. All opinions are my own. I live on the Canadian Prairies and winter here is cold. Very cold.

Holiday Gift Guide 2013 | Prince LionHeart Wheely Bug

Prince LionHeart Wheely Bug I received a sample product for review. All opinions are my own. My kids will take anything that has a wheel on it and turn it into a ride on toy. Thankfully Prince LionHeart has a fantastic line of Wheely Bugs ride on toys that are made for this sort of activity. We received the large Wheely cow.
