Why We Love the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smartwatch

Allie Walld 1 year ago

Is there anything more precious than your two adorable toddlers? Yes. Your two adorable toddlers tromping around the living room while wearing comically oversized–and just down-right cute–smartwatches that they're so proud of owning, they act totally nonchalant about them. Both my husband and I wear smartwatches every day to track our steps and other health and wellness goals, keep an...

The HAP-P-KID Bath Time Basketball Hoop will make bath time with your twins a slam dunk. While it's made to be used inside the tub, we actually have it set up on the outside of the tub to keep whichever toddler ISN'T in the tub entertained and busy while their twin is splashing in the suds.

Allie Walld 1 year ago

When you're changing a dirty diaper in the middle of the night, you want things to go as quickly and smoothly as possible, so you wake your baby–and you!–as little as possible. When you have twins, there's the added danger that any whisper of sound (yes, really, just a whisper; I've been there and can attest that's all it takes, sometimes) can wake your other sleeping baby from what...
