So excited that this year we will be giving our little Paityn the Gingerbread Hello Kitty!  Look how adorable she is. My kids are all about Build-A-Bear right now. I can't tell you how many awesome outfits Santa is bringing them. It is so funny...my girls would rather play with their BUILD-A-BEARS than their American Girl Dolls. I think there is a magical moment in your child's life when they are literally putting the love stuffing into their new toys! I love watching my kids kiss the little heart and bury it deep in the stuffing of their new toy! HOW AWESOME!! We recommend giving this toy this HOLIDAY SEASON! LOVE IT!!! 


Back on November 1st, Build-A-Bear Workshop will sweeten the season with its new line of festive gifts with fragrant accessories.
Limited Edition Merry Mint Pup ($20) dressed in a stripes & dots dress ($8.50), red & white striped flats ($7.50), red & white candy stripe bows ($2.50), and stripes & dots leash and collar ($5) comes with a mint-scented bone. Complete this tail-wagging gift with a red & white pet bed ($12).
Give a real treat with the adorable limited edition Christmas Cookie Bear($20). This friend is perfectly present-able dressed in a candy cane tulle skirt outfit ($12.50), red & white candy stripe bow ($2.50) and red & white striped flats ($7.50) and comes with a vanilla-scented sugar cookie.
For the first time ever, Build-A-Bear Workshop is introducing Gingerbread Hello Kitty® ($23). This world-famous friend is ready to spice up the holidays dressed in a red sequin faux-fur dress ($12.50), white faux-fur trim purse with bow ($5) and red heels ($7.50), with a gingerbread-scented cookie. This friend makes a fashionable gift!
All of these furry friends include a scented accessory that captures the delightful smells of the season. These super sweet-smelling friends combine comforting holiday scents with warm hugs to create a unique gift for children, and adults (who are kids at heart).

Littlest Pet Shop Online Dancing Dog
Super cute toy pet that won't poop on your floor. This little pup is ready to move and groove! Add this to your holiday list.

From the Manufacturer

This is one pup that loves to “get down”. Plug this dog figure’s speaker connection cable into your music player and he’ll play your music through his speakers. You two must have the same taste in music because he likes it so much, he starts “dancing” and making his multicolored lights flash. He’s also just as much fun “online” as he is in person — use his secret code to unlock special features at LPSO.com. From wide-eyed friend to speaker to secret code carrier, this dog figure has a lot of things to do…but his favorite thing of all is “dancing” with you.

EARLY RIDER-BALANCE BIKE





Both of our kids are learning to ride bikes this year. Nevaeh just needs to learn balance and then we will be all set. We have been practicing on riding a bike without training wheels but she is just not ready yet. We are so excited to share the new EARLY RIDER BIKE that she will be practicing on. This is just perfect for her and for Korbyn to learn how to balance. It gets so tiring chasing after them on the larger bikes without training wheels. I am so happy she can practice using her legs and this BALANCE BIKE actually will help teach her stability and balance at a pace she is comfortable with.

Early Rider Balance Bike: www.earlyrider.com
(ages 20mo - 6 yrs)
The Early Rider is a “balance bike,” which is a pedal-less bike that helps teach kids to balance and self-correct at their own speed. Now available in the US for the holidays, the Early Rider has been the #1 selling balance bike in Europe. Unlike most other balance bikes on the market, the Early Rider features “Fat Boy” rear tires for extra stability and comfort and it comes in three sizes, for smaller and larger preschoolers and kindergartners. Take a peek at this video to see kids riding the Early Rider: http://www.earlyrider.com/home/video/

Parents with Style highly recommends this BALANCE BIKE for your kids. The stylish look and feel will make learning to ride a bike a breeze!!
