We received a Peppy Pups from TPF Toys for free to try out and review. Opinions of the toy are 100% our own.

I love how big Andrew’s heart is. He is such a sweet boy who loves so much. He loves all his friends and family and animals. He’s been in his glory since one of our cats has been spending more time with him. He really likes dogs, though. He loves my sister’s dog, Lexi and wants to spend a lot of time with her. When I heard about Peppy Pups I knew this would be something for Andrew.

This is an adorable little toy dog. It has spring legs and hard paws with special paw pads that let the dog bounce, waddle and prance along like a hyper happy little puppy would. The rest of the puppy is soft and cuddly. Andrew was very happy to play with Peppy Pups. Listening to him play with his new pet, Scruffy, was very special. He took Scruffy to a Dog Park upstairs. I could hear him talking with his friend and his friend’s dogs, too. Andrew loved talking Scruffy for “walks”, too. But as you can see in the video, his favorite thing was to share snacks.

Andrew now wants to take Scruffy everywhere he goes. You should have seen how excited he was when his sister came home and he got to show her what Scruffy can do. Here’s some further information about Peppy Pups.

Review – Making Cupcakes with the Ultimate Baking Starter Set

We received the Real Cooking Ultimate Baking Starter Set to use and review from Skyrocket Toys. Opinions are 100% our own.

Today Eva was home from school. It was the perfect day for us to try out the Real Cooking Ultimate Baking Starter Set. This is a set where kids can bake a couple of different types of cupcakes. There are mixes for tuxedo cupcakes and sparkle surprise cupcakes. They are mini cupcakes and can be baked in cupcake liners using the heat-resistant, fast cooling
silicone tray.

First we made the tuxedo cupcakes. Eva was excited to use the mess-free egg cracker. This is a fun little device where kids just have to push down on a button and the egg cracks into a small container where you can whisk the eggs before you pour them into the mixing bowls. The interchangeable mixing bowls can be securely affixed to the counter via a suction cup. The set also comes with a spatula, whisk, measuring cups and pastry tips. She made the cupcakes and then decorated them. She got help from Andrew who did the mixing of some of the frosting for the tuxedo cupcakes.

The cupcakes were pretty tasty. The thing is, you are using real food to make the cupcakes. You use your own real milk, eggs, and butter with the the cake and frosting mixes.
