“Just knowing that your teddy bear is home waiting at the day’s end makes each day happier.” – Ted Menten
Do you remember your first love? Not the crush you had in middle school – but your first real love? Mine was Big Bear. He was a big handsome bear, slept and on my bed every night to keep me safe, and even attended a few tea parties with me and my dolls. Total sweetheart. There’s a reason that a great guy is often described as a Teddy Bear – because a teddy bear is one of the most loveable things around.
“A teddy bear is your childhood wrapped up in faded yellow fur, and as such, he commands affection long after he is out grown.” – Pam Brown
I was so excited when this little bear arrived in the mail…. Meet Storytime Teddie from Cuddle Barn. This little guy is cute as a stinkin’ button, with super soft fuzzy fur, and an adorable little fleece hoodie. But he’s more than just good looking – this little guy is so much fun. With the push of a little button on his paw, he reads to you and your child from his book – and Abby is just completely entertained and delighted listening to his version of ‘Twas the Night before Christmas.
“Teddy bears don’t need hearts as they are already stuffed with love.” – Unknown
Abby brings her Teddie all around the house with her. She’ll sit him down, and then sit herself down on the floor right across from him. She’ll say, “Book?” and press his little paw – then she gives him her complete attention while he reads her a story. When he says, “Dash away, Dash away, Dash away all!” she claps and giggles. Totally priceless. He reads the entire story too – check him out in action…
“A room without a bear is like a face without a smile.” – Unknown
I love that it’s not just the sound of the story being read – he moves him mouth too, like he’s truly reading it. And it’s so cute how he kind of sways back and forth while he reads. All of the details on this bear are well done – very well made, super soft, and has held up perfectly through 3 full weeks so far of “Toddler Love” – which can be a little rough :) He’s 12 inches tall, runs on 3 AA batteries that are super easy to install and change, and retails for $29.99 on CuddleBarn.com.
“A teddy is a cuddle with paws at the end.” – Gill Davies

– This is so sleek and modern – it doesn’t scream “kids!!”, so it’s right at home in any kitchen. Love the details, and the clean and stylish all-white look.
– This kids play kitchen is SO fun! Again, it’s very modern, and totally cool. I love kids toys – but I love to find things that look great, so that I can make them a part of our home’s decor, instead of just hiding them away in a playroom.
– Such a great value! 125 pieces of fun play foods and accessories, for under $20 bucks – perfect.
– This is so adorable. Abby and I have matching aprons that we use when we cook together, and love trying recipes from this book. {Did you see that one of our recipes is featured in the new

– both are super cool. The box that they blocks are in opens up, and flips over, to become a little ramp for the train to cruise down… And Abby thought this was the COOLEST thing ever! She says, “Chooo Chooo!” and runs to chase it after it rolls away. The bigger kids set theirs all up in a row, and had races to see who’s train could go the farthest. The moms all loved that this was a great travel set.
– and it was definitely a hit with both the kids and the moms. While lego sets can be a challenge even for some of the bigger kiddo’s, this Mega Bloks set was perfect – the older boys helped to guide the little one’s, and while they could put the whole thing together without any help from the grown up’s, it was just challenging enough to make them feel really accomplished when they finished it!
– Ages 0-6 months.
– The one we have!
– Great for big kids.
