Sweet Suite at Home 2021
Sweet Suite at home was a virtual event. I love how they set everything up. It is a neat virtual reality toy event. The top toy brands were there. I will show you some of our favorite new toys.
My daughters like the Cry Baby dolls. They are excited that they will now have hair. My 14 month old thinks the cartoon is cute too.
The swag box was full of fun toys. I have to remind the 2 girls to share.
Sadie liked the Lalaloopsy doll. The silly hair was pretty cool. You can twist her hair into different designs.
I gave my older son the Pokemon cards. He used to collect them a few years back.
I think the Cats vs Pickles toy is really cute. Blind bag surprise.
Overall, it was another great event. Stop by The Toy Insider for all your toy review needs.
What are some of your favorite toys this year?

The Toy Insider Holiday of Play Event
The Toy Insider is known for their cool toy events. The main event that happens in the summer is Sweet Suite. This was my first time seeing their Holiday of Play. Although it couldn't be in person this year, they put on an amazing virtual event. I am so impressed by the virtual world. You can visit each booth to see the newest toys coming out.
My 2 girls love all the toys. They were really excited to get the swag box.
Mini Brands has the cutest tiny toys inside. My 4 year old likes Trinity and Madison on YouTube.
The Exploding Kittens game is such a clever card game.
My 8 year old daughter goes crazy for slime. I am not so crazy for it. I usually hope it doesn't get on any blankets.
Crayola is such a classic brand. I think this paper maker would be a really neat gift.
What is on your child's wishlist this year?

Toys For The Little Ones
Three of my kids liked playing with Magformers. They are great for learning shapes and building. The magnets are strong and there are different shapes and colors. You can use your imagination and build whatever you want. My 4 year old is really enjoying them now.
Dolce infant toys are so cute. I like how it is soft and interactive. There is different textures and one of the wings makes a crinkle sound.
Check out Dolce Toys here on their website.
What does Dolce stand for? Develop, observe, learn, create, educate
The toys are geared for STEM learning at an early age.
Here is Ethan with his toy. Our 4th child is now 4 months old. I forgot how sweet this age was.
There are so many fun toys out now. I love both the Magformers and Dolce for my little ones.

Ravel Tales Toy
Ravel Tales is a new toy that you unwind. As you unwind the yarn, you will find lots of different craft projects and a cute little plushie too. There are 12 different plushies to collect inside.
I love how it comes with lot of yarn.
This is what the box looks like. Open it up and start unwinding.
Some yarn you will use to stuff a little pet bed. Other yarn you can use to make a pom pom or necklace.
My 7 year old thought this was cute. She likes doing crafts too.
This was the plushie she got inside the ball of yarn.
You can make this plushie a little bed. Sew it with the yarn given and stuff it too.
I think this is such a cute and creative toy for kids.
This will be available in stores very soon this month.
Do your kids like doing crafts?
Ravel Tales will be on Amazon to purchase.

LEGO Fun
Our local mall has a new LEGO store. We are all excited. I think LEGO is the one thing we all equally enjoy. Yes, even us adults are fans.
I really like the wall of LEGO where you can fill a container of the pieces you want.
They have so many new fun sets available. My son likes Ninjago sets and also the classic sets.
My girls love Frozen and anything Disney. The Friends sets are great too.
We also like the LEGO mini figures that come in blind bags.
I recently have been watching the LEGO Masters tv show. I know it is a reality tv show but it is still fun to watch.
Do you like LEGO? Have you watched the new show at all?

Sweet Suite 2019 was a really fun event for bloggers, influencers, and YouTube stars to see all the new toys coming out soon. Many toy brands were there. They served some amazing food too.
I am going to share some of the toys that my family would enjoy.
Playmobil has a lot of cool toy sets. I really liked this space one. The amount of detail that goes into these toys are amazing. Playmobil has always made me think high quality toy.
Do your kids like Peppa Pig? My youngest really likes watching Peppa. The toys are pretty cute and it looks as if they will have some good blind bags coming.
Tamagotchi really brings me back to when I was a kid. It is interesting that all the retro toys eventually make a come back. Did you play these when you were a kid?
My almost 3 year old loves watching Cry Babies on YouTube. She loves baby toys in general. These dolls cry.
It is always so much fun to go to this event. A week later you get a really sweet swag box full of toys.
Stay tuned because we will be reviewing new toys.

Hermione Light Painting Wand
WOW! Stuff has come out with a terrific line of Harry Potter toys. Have you seen the Harry Potter movies or read the books? I have seen all of the movies. I hope one day my little ones would enjoy it or even read the books.
Now we all know Harry could not have survived all those years without Hermione. She was the brains of the group. In my opinion, of course.
What is a great gift for a Harry Potter fan? A light painting wand. This is a neat toy that you can use with an app. I really like the design of the wand.
You really need to check out the other gifts they make as well.
Here is a video that better shows what this awesome toy does.
Head over to the WOW! Stuff website to see the other gifts. They have videos up of each amazing Harry Potter toy.

Smooshy Mushy Squishies
We love squishies. Smooshy Mushy makes so many cute squishies. These are really tiny ones. You can use them as keychains if you want. Sometimes they even smell nice.
Check out my YouTube channel. We play with squishies, video games, and more.
Barefoot and Loving It.
Rainy Day Playtime with Goliath Games
It may be summer time but it still can rain. What do you do with the kids on rainy days? Board games are a great way to entertain them. Goliath Games make so many fun board games for all ages.
Build or Boom is really fun. I enjoyed playing with my daughter. If you aren't fast enough, another player can blow up your work. This can get really challenging.
Let's Go Fishing' is super cute for the little ones in the family. My almost 2 year old was ready to play and my 6 year old. They had fun playing together.
Giggle Wiggle needs batteries. He moves around. This game will bring lots of laughs. It is great for the little kids and even us old adults.
Rainy days do not have to be so boring. Grab a few games and keep them in the closet. They are great for family game night and playdates.
Goliath Games sent us these games for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

Toys Galore At SweetSuite18
This year at SweetSuite18 was held at Chelsea Piers. It is really beautiful there during the summer. Inside you could find the coolest balloon maze ever. I loved this palm tree made of balloons. So creative and fun.
Every year at SweetSuite you can find the greatest toy brands in the industry. This year they opened it up to the kids too. I think next year I will bring my older two kids. We certainly buy a lot of toys in our household.
My daughter loves JoJo everything right now. I thought this outfit looked pretty cool. JoJo clothing line is coming to a Target near you. Our family shops at Target nearly every week. Look at that skirt. So much sparkle!
Both my son and daughter really like Pokemon. My son has a crazy collection of Pokemon EX and GX cards. These figures are super cute. Pokemon is one of the shows I can tolerate on repeat. There are battle figures and cute plushies.
Fingerlings are very popular right now. We have a monkey and a unicorn at home. I love these tiny ones that you can put on a pencil or hang from anywhere.
This year Moose Toys are bringing you these fun figures. They come inside a tin which has hard sand. You fizz it away and dig into it. The figures are neat and could be for boys and girls. My 9 year old son can't wait to get his hands on more.
I must say, overall it was a great experience. This was my 3rd year going to SweetSuite and I loved it.
You even get a swag box full of toys shipped to your house. How amazing is that? If you are a blogger, influencer, and/ or YouTuber you can go. Many people book hotel rooms if they are from out of town. You can get discounted room rates for your trip. I took the LIRR train in.
