Do you have a friend like this? The one who always manages to find the coolest toys? Toys that the kiddos can't tear themselves away from, yet toys that manage to teach in the sneakiest (and most fun) ways? Toys you certainly have never seen before. And no wonder. When you ask said friend, she shrugs nonchalantly and says, "Oh that? I found it at <insert cool little boutique toy store>." And it turns out that the product was shipped from France or some other fabulous far-flung destination. Or the darn thing is a relic from your own childhood that she somehow managed to both remember and track down online (remember Run Ragged
? Still one of my husband's favs.)
In any case, if you haven't guessed, I have a friend like this, and longtime readers may remember her as J. J, mom of adorable Sohpia, with the discerning eye for sunglasses, lighting, and all things cozy-chic. But her specialty? (Ummm...besides her law degree and her non-profit Weecycle?) Is toys. This cool mama actually "works" (in quotes because I know she'd do it for free) at a toy store every Christmas season...for fun. And since I gleefully steal just about every toy idea she throws my way, I thought you mamas might want in on the fun.
Here are J's latest finds...
