Guest Post: What’s It Like to Be a Single Mom?

Posted on 28. June 20215. July 2021 by lyoness

by Shar (06/28/2021) Being a single mom can be, at times, painful, scary, and grueling. It can also be genuinely rewarding and absolutely abundant in love and laughter. My parents divorced when I was nine years old. At the time, I was very accepting of it. I had seen enough of my Dad’s abuse and…

Product Review: Kerplunk!

Posted on 27. June 202129. June 2021 by lyoness

Lyons Cub has so many marbles now from his marble runs that I was thinking, how could I possibly spice that up a little? Fellow moms, did you play “Kerplunk” in your childhood? I certainly did. I found it intricating to insert the sticks into the tube, pour the marbles over them, and then carefully…

Product Review: Bubble-Making Lawnmower

Posted on 27. June 202127. June 2021 by lyoness

To all mommies of 2 to 3-year-old toddlers who love, love, love soap bubbles: here’s a lawnmower they can push, and it makes loads of bubbles 😉 They don’t run in danger of licking the disgusting soap by blowing the bubbles themselves. They just walk and it happens! Lyons Cub is maybe a little bit…

Product Review: Dinosaur Race Track

Posted on 25. June 202125. June 2021 by lyoness

What better birthday present could there be for a 3-year-old boy who loves dinosaurs and volcanoes than a dinosaur race track with battery-driven race cars? Lyons Cub had lots of fun seeing whether mommy’s red car, his green car, or grandma’s brown car made it longest on the tracks without escaping, getting stuck in a…

Product Review: Pikler Triangle, Arch, and Ramp

Posted on 24. June 202127. June 2021 by lyoness

Do you have a child that loves to climb? Or maybe, did Early Intervention say your child needs to practice his/her gross motor skills, and you’re not sure how to accomplish this? If you don’t have a big yard with a sandbox, swing set, and climbing tower with a slide, what about a tiny indoor…

… Raise Your Child with Classical Music?

Posted on 20. June 202122. August 2021 by lyoness

Do you love classical music? Maybe you have had piano or guitar lessons when you were a child or teen? Or maybe, you would like for your child to make an experience that was withheld from you when you were little?  People have speculated for quite some time whether listening to classical music makes you…

Product Review: DreamWorks Dragons with Light, Sound, and Projectiles

Posted on 20. June 202120. June 2021 by lyoness

Everything that shoots is of high interest to Lyons Cub all of a sudden – his PJ Masks robot, his water pistols, and his older cousin’s beautiful, expensive DreamWorks Dragons. He treats them with great care (and they are watching jealously and protectively over them). Do you have a child aged 4 or older who…

Product Review: Short Sleeve Toddler Swimsuit

Posted on 18. June 202119. June 2021 by lyoness

Cuteness overload! This little sea creatures swimsuit was a great summer addition for our staycation in the yard. It prevented Lyons Cub’s shoulders from catching a sunburn, and it was elastic enough so he could run around in them over his gopher sprinkler mat to jump into his orange fish pool, wear them in the…

Product Review: Toddler Slide and Rocker

Posted on 18. June 20218. January 2022 by lyoness

For his first birthday, Lyons Cub got a slide that transforms into a motorcycle rocker. This idea is actually genius, because it keeps the littles invested in their toy when they lose interest in one of its functions. My son liked the slide better than the rocker, but whenever he got bored, we just turned…

… do Early Intervention?

Posted on 18. June 202118. June 2021 by lyoness

Does your baby qualify for Early Intervention (EI)? Lyons Cub was born weighing 3 lbs and being six weeks early, and he qualified as an asymmetrical IUGR baby and pre-term infant. Strictly speaking, he did not have any huge delays, and his eyes and ears were just fine. However, he did have some gross motor…

Product Review: Peppa Pig Pool for Splashing Fun in Small Spaces

Posted on 16. June 202114. August 2021 by lyoness

Do you have a small balcony or yard, but your toddler wants a swimming pool on a sweltering summer day? A big family pool is not in the picture? Don’t need a giant pool where mommy can soak, too? Then, the Smart Planet® Peppa Pig inflatable paddling pool, approximately 122 x 23 cm, might just…

Product Review: Balancing Bike

Posted on 14. June 202110. July 2021 by lyoness

Is your child ready to roll? When looking at balancing bikes, I winced at the thought of spending 100 bucks for something as transitional as a balancing bike. Lyons Cub can already ride his tricycle and will soon get a real bicycle with training wheels, so the balancing bike will be a very short-term activity…

… Have a 1st Birthday Cake-Smashing Party?

Posted on 6. June 20216. June 2021 by lyoness

When Lyons Cub had his first birthday, I wanted to create something memorable (not for him, but for me, haha 😉 ), especially with regard to his difficult birth and IUGR diagnosis. If you have a baby of whom you don’t know whether he’ll make it, or what the outcome will be, the first year…

Summer fun, here we come! This PVC pool with independent layers is robust and likely to survive the summer, even with heavy use by family and friends. I used this electric pump to inflate it. It’s large enough for the adults to stretch their legs, and if not filled to the top, perfect for your…

Product Review: Paw Patrol Roller Skates

Posted on 2. June 20213. June 2021 by lyoness

Let’s say it this way: you won’t win a race with these! But to get a 2-year-old to move slowly and securely on them, have fun, and practice balancing skills, they were just perfect! Lyons Cub loves Paw Patrol. And he was equally enthusiastic about his first skates. They came with knee pads. I had…
