Gifts to make your toddler happy

I received these products from Hape for review and my little ones are thrilled with them.  Both of these products are available at Target.

Every toddler I have ever encountered has loved making music, sorting and identifying shapes and colors, and building things.  If you are looking for Christmas gift ideas for a toddler, look no further.  Any child would be thrilled to find either of these products, or both of them, under the tree on Christmas morning.  The Shape Sorter Xylophone and Piano, as well as the My First Block Set, is perfect for either a boy or a girl.  Either of them will be thoroughly enjoyed by either gender.

The Shape Sorter Xylophone and Piano has a retail price of $17.99 and is recommended for children age 12 months and up.  Children will discover colors and shapes while creating musical notes.  Matching the five colorful puzzle pieces to their corresponding holes, by shape or color will help develop coordination and fine motor skills.  They can play their own little song by pressing down or tapping the keys with the red baton.  Your budding musician will enjoy the challenge of sorting the shapes and they'll be proud of their musical creation.

My First Block Set has a retail price of $16.99 and is recommended for children age 12 months and up.  Kids can use their imagination to build buildings, towers, bridges, arches and more with this 80 piece set of wooden blocks.  The blocks are made of solid wood and coated with wear resistant paint, making them durable and long lasting.  The blocks are painted in many different colors, letting your child build colorful creations as they engage in creative play and hand and eye coordination.

Your kids will love these games

All too often, kids (and parents too) spend way too much time on a device of some sort.  Whether it's a desktop computer, laptop, TV, smartphone or some other device, it is taking away valuable time that you could be spending together as a family.  In my house, we try to make sure we have regular family game nights where we all get together and play board games, cards, charades and things of that nature.  We like to have a variety of games to choose from, games that all members of the family can enjoy.  Even the little ones.  I am thankful to have received the following games from Goliath Games for review.  These games are perfect for Christmas gifts this year if you want to encourage more family time.

Rattlesnake Jake is a game for 2-6 players ages 4 and over.  The game contains Rattlesnake Jake, his cowboy hat, a double sided fate coin, 16 gold nuggets and the instructions.  The idea of the game is that Rattlesnake Jake has stolen your gold!  You have to watch out for his rattle as you carefully sneak the gold back.  If you make one wrong move, he strikes!  His ominous rattle builds the suspense for the ultimate jump!  If Rattlesnake Jake strikes on your turn, you must return half of your nuggets to him.  The player with the most gold when the last nugget has been taken wins the game.  You will need to supply 3 AAA batteries to play.  This game will have your little ones jumping, squealing and laughing as you compete to collect the most gold while avoiding Rattlesnake Jake's strike.

Betcha Can't is a new board game that was created by
13 year old Lily Brown and 12 year old Tait Hansen after seeing the Young Inventor Challenge that was hosted by the Chicago Toy and Game Group.  Betcha Can't is a family friendly board game that's centered around one of childhood's favorite pastimes...one upping your friends and family by placing bets on the number of things you think you know.  This is a very fast paced game, and it's tons of fun for the whole family.  If you think you can name more of things like ice cream flavors, theme parks and more than your family or friends, play Betcha Can’t! and find out!

Moving to Charlotte NC? READ this First

 This is a sponsored post on behalf of Zumper.

If you are planning a move to Charlotte NC, you need to do some research before you move.  Whether it is for a job, school, or retirement, there are some things you should know before you pack up and move.

 Housing

Where will you live?  How much will it cost?  Well, those factors are definitely determined by your budget.  Let Zumper help you with that. So, what's Zumper?Zumper is used by millions of renters to find houses, rooms, condos, or apartments for rent. You can apply online. Just Submit the digital rental applications and credit reports with Zumper's screening service, powered by TransUnion™.

The median rent for a three-bedroom apartment is $1600.  This can vary based on the exact location.  What are your apartment goals?

Cost of Living

When I think of the cost of living, I think:  How much is a of bread or what are gas prices?  On a recent move, I had to pay a $500 deposit to the company that provides electricity to my rental.  In the city of Charlotte, Duke Energy will be your provider so make sure and contact them to see what type of deposits you will need before you can move in. The deposit I paid was the deposit for everybody. Some energy companies run a credit report and your deposit is based on your credit rating. This needs to be factored into your budget.  Will you need natural gas hooked up too?  There are many factors to consider before that move to Charlotte.

Crime Rates

This is definitely something to consider when you are making that move to Charlotte.  I know every major city has crime, but you can always find the safest neighborhoods to live I if you do the research first!   This information can also let you know what security measures you might want to consider before you move.  Do you need a security system or will a video doorbell suffice?  

Local Schools

No matter if your child is in elementary school or high school, you want to make sure they are in the best schools.  Charlotte NC has 126 public schools and 58 private schools. You will need to find out the student to teacher ratio and average test scores of the school your child(ren) will be attending.  That is a HUGE factor in choosing the right address on Zumper.  Call the schools your child might be attending, look on their websites, and see what is going on at that school.

Weather

Charlotte NC is located in the southern United States and it can get quite warm during the summer months.  If you are not used to the humidity, it might take some getting used to.  Winter is not that cold, but it does snow sometimes.  If you are moving from different climates, you will want to make sure you have proper clothing.  But, you can probably toss any snowsuits you might have.

Transportation

While most people in Charlotte commute by car, you may want to research public transportation.   Also, you need to check with your auto insurance company to see what average rates are for residents of Charlotte.  I know my auto insurance went down when I moved from Aiken SC to Charlotte NC, and that was a welcome surprise.

Local Happenings

While Charlotte boasts a beautiful downtown area, you will want to know how close you are to the grocery store and restaurants.  Charlotte has a lot of financial institutions, so finding a bank should be effortless.  The Carolina Panthers NFL team is based in Charlotte, so grab some tickets to go see a game.  You can also visit Corawinds amusement park, Charlotte Ballet, or many other local attractions.  The city is rich in culture and history, so make sure you check these out.  Charlotte is a fast-growing city with a population of over 800,00, so get ready to live in a big city. 

Job Market

More than likely you are making a move because you already have a job in Charlotte.  But, if your spouse will have to look for a job, check out the classified ads or call the local Chamber of Commerce to see what types of jobs are available based on your skills.  Being home to so many financial institutions, if you have experience in that area, finding a job should not be a problem.

After you have factored in all of the above elements, you will now be ready to make that move to Charlotte.  Let Zumper help you find the perfect rental!
