Does or did your kids have a Lovey? Both of our girls did. In fact, they still have theirs. They sleep in their beds, together with 15 stuffed animals and barbies, little rocks, beads, pieces of paper, acorns (?!?!?), coins, an occasional goldfish, and other things you wouldn’t believe.
Anyway, friends of ours recently welcomed their precious little baby boy into the world and we got him an awesome Baby Jack Learning Lovey. The lovey is a super soft little sensory tag blanket, perfect for cuddling, playing, chewing, and rubbing the ribbons, which are sewn closed to prevent little fingers from getting intertwined in ribbon loops. Read more about the lovey, the good cause that comes with it, and how you can enter to win one of four Baby Jack Learning Loveys.

If your kids are like ours, they’d buy everything in the toy store if
they could (heck, even in the grocery store!). So, it should be pretty
easy to get your kids some Christmas presents, shouldn’t it? Well, it
isn’t. At least not for us. We want toys that are age appropriate,
durable, wallet-friendly, fun, and if possible parent- or
expert-approved. That's why we’ve reached out to local toy stores in and
around Austin and asked for their recommendations for the following
categories:
Best Toys of 2016: Baby
Best Toys of 2016: Toddlers
Best Toys of 2016: Preschoolers
Best Toys of 2016: Big Kids
Continue to read about their recommendations plus enter to win one of 5 awesome toys for your little ones!
