I grew up with a father who loved cars — working on them, driving them, even watching them race around a track.  I suppose it was inevitable that I would develop a love of things that “go”, but as a girl, it was oftentimes hard to find toys that would do so and ones that [...]

If you get a chance, check out the episode of Oprah that is going to air today — it will be featuring a very special pair of ladybug shoes worn by Suri Cruise, and Tom mentions that she really “likes the Ladybugs”.  I just happen to know the story behind those adorable ladybug shoes, and [...]

Ok, I’ve already ranted and raved over my extreme love for it in my Christmas Gift Guide for kids, but it’s worth another mention here:  one of my favorite picks for Christmas this year is, beyond a doubt, the Cherry Blossom Market. We have one of these at my house (I just couldn’t wait until [...]

If you’ve read this site a bit in the past, you know that Little AG has a thing, a love, an OBSESSION with Tigger.  However, most everything involving the Playhouse Disney show “My Friends Tigger and Pooh” easily qualifies as well.  Along with the 9 tiggers that we already have living in our house, I [...]

With the Holiday Season comes the P & E — Parties and Entertaining!  From office parties to parties with family and friends, you will likely have more than one occasion to show that you are the “Hostess with the Mostess” or a gracious party guest!  Of course, we wouldn’t leave you hanging for this very [...]

As a little girl I used to love watching Peter Pan — and of course, the “little green fairy” Tinkerbell was my ultimate favorite! I’m thrilled that now Little AG will be enchanted by the same characters as I was as a child, and this first film in a series of new releases that [...]

I came home from France this time around with a renewed obsession for my favorite company, Plyones, and a new obsession for a company called “Derrière la porte” — which makes stuff that looks pretty much like the stuff from Pylones, so maybe that has something to do with my love for it.
Anyway, I was [...]

Do people ever ask you why you chose the career that you did? It’s a reasonable question, right? [...]

Chic Shopper Chick is fortunate enough to have a great sponsor in Pure and Honest Kids a site that carries some truly unique and beautiful gifts. I really like this Brag Book as a gift for anyone — a mom, dad, or grandparent — to carry around photos of the new little arrival in. [...]

Back in May, I was delighted to learn that I had won one of these way cool vases from Jillable in a contest on My Mom Shops (and I’m sooo not lucky people, I never win things). They are made from a durable plastic and come in all sorts of cool patterns and colors. [...]

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
I have been LOVING the weather here in DC. Back home in Louisiana, we have had the air conditioner running and the baby pool out and filled since late March (when it hit 85), and we haven’t looked back yet. However, I realize for those of you who live [...]

On Friday I received my copy of The Pocket Daring Book for Girls: Things to Do, which is essentially a pocket companion (though, as my husband pointed out, probably won’t fit in ANYONES pocket) to The Daring Book for Girls. When I opened it, I couldn’t help but pour through it and oooh and [...]

I just love toys that are more than just entertainment. A little education never hurt, and if you can do it while you play, then why not?! Well, the folks over at Word World have figured that out, and make the smartest toys on the block!
Little AG received a few Word World toys [...]
