Does your family love LEGO’s? We are obsessed with them at my house. We play with Duplo’s and LEGO’s literally every day. My son, who is only 2.5, wants to be a big kid and play with the standard LEGO’s but my husband and I have not broken down to buy the tiny pieces yet. We are trying to stick with Duplo’s (which are easier to clean up and for tiny hands to use) for now. Our local library has a monthly LEGO play date. They provide buckets of LEGO’s for us to play with and make our very own creations with. My kids love playing with all the tiny pieces, figuring out how they connect and learning though their play. They watch the older kids and see how they design their creations and try to copy how they click and piece them together. I am a huge advocate for using LEGO’s as a learning toy. Allowing them to play without a screen, using their minds and hands, its such a healthy way to play. Little engineers in the making.
The Foxes were blessed with the chance to attend LEGO KidsFest when it traveled to Cleveland, Ohio. We were amazed at the huge set up and all the play places that were set up. Some of the stations set up were:
- LEGO Build Areas
- LEGO Model Museum
- Race Ramps
- Creation Nation
- Challenge Zoe
- LEGO Friends
- Create Your Own Fairy Tale
- LEGO Retail Store
- DK Reading Zone
- Mixels Station
- Star Wars Station
- Big Brick Pile
- and much more!
My kids and I went to every station, and some we stayed at longer than others. We loved the Big Brick Pile so much. They were able to roll around and bury themselves in LEGO’s like you would at the beach with sand. It was so fun to watch. The Mixels Station was a fun part too. My kids love this station because there are eyeball pieces to make your own monster creation. My daughter loved the Disney section and the Friends section. Seeing all the pink and purple bricks and how to make beautiful houses. But when you first walk in you are greeted by TONS of huge, and I mean huge, models of heroes and famous characters that you can take your photos with. These pieces all travel in their own custom crate and cost many bucks (some the cost of a mid size car)! There were also many huge, flashy digital signs showcasing the latest developments in LEGO world, no doubt to entice both children and adults alike. The whole set-up probably involved vast amounts of collaborative effort from companies like Platon Graphics (https://platongraphics.com/retail-signage/) and others to make the space and the event as successful as it was. It was a privilege to see and experience this years LEGO KidsFest. When this event comes to your town buy your tickets fast, because they sell out fast and ware worth every penny. Your kids will have LEGO dreams for weeks.
In my diaper bag I always take disposable wipes for my diapers. It is easier than lugging around wash clothes and adding them to the wet bag. I hated using tree based wipes, but I never knew of another option. Now I can use 
chores like helping set up the dinner table and cleaning up afterwards. My daughter loves to help set the dinner table by placing a Caboo napkin next to each plate and putting the silverware on top of that napkin. I love using it to catch my coffee splashes in the mornings. Less mess and less work for a busy family is always what we are looking for.
Cleaning wipes are a huge seller in today’s market. I used to use them years ago when they first came out, but then stopped when I discontinued bleach from my life. I felt bad using such a harsh chemical in my home and exposing myself and my family to it. I did miss the convenience of the use-and-toss wet towel concept. I am THRILLED that Caboo has a cleaning wipe that is not only in a pull-out-the-top style container but its made with bamboo and no bleach! These are a game changer. I can use them in the kitchen, bathroom, living room…anywhere, because they are totally safe for my family and good for the environment. 
The thought of hard, gas station type toilet paper freaks me out. I was pleasantly surprised that Caboo toilet paper is not rough like the cheap kinds you find in public restrooms. Their toilet paper is made with bamboo, and not traditional wood, which gives it a softness that a tree cannot produce. While this toilet paper is free of lotions and additives, I really like it. I have been using it for a week now and my family never commented on the switch, which is HUGE! We have a septic system and it is safe for us to use. The keys to it’s success it that is 100% tree-free, Chlorine-Free and its 2 ply, so its strong enough for any family.
No matter your age or situation in life, most people value good health. Being able to live comfortably is a luxury to some who have medical issues that inflict body discomfort. If there are products that can help increase your comfort why would you not want to use them? Whether you are a runner who has shin splints or 
It also features an automatic 2-hour shut off timer! You never have to worry when you leave your house “did I leave the coffee pot on?” Even when I am at home with my kids, I often have forgotten about my coffee maker as the daily grind sets in. I start running around cleaning up breakfast, helping my kids with projects and doing laundry. Next thing I know its 11 am and I need to get lunch ready. I glance over at my coffee pot, which now has automatically turned off hours ago. I never have to worry about scorching my pot with old coffee that was left in there heated for hours, just as I don’t have to wonder
